KUNV 91.5 FM UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGAS 4505 MARYLAND PARKWAY • LAS VEGAS, NEVADA 89154 • (702) 739-3877 STIPEND PROPOSAL 9/22/87 KUNV is predominately a volunteer station, with about 50 members. At this time, there are two full-time staff members and two positions that receive monthly stipends and fee waivers, the Program Director ($300) and the Asst. Program Director ($100). KUNV would like to add two more stipended/fee waiver positions, the Community Affairs Director ($150) and the Developement Director ($150), and increase the stipend of the Asst. Program Director by $50 to $150. The reason the PD and Asst. PD are stipended and given a fee waiver is two fold. One, the responsibilities of the job far exceed the norms of volunteerism in time and responsibility. Holding these positions often precludes the possibility of holding paying jobs because of the time required to fulfill the duties. Two, KUNV can afford to stipend these positions. We would like to stipend and give a full fee waiver to the additional positions for the same reasons. The Community Affiars Director oversees about 20 hours of programming, programming that requires a great deal of planning and preparation including production, interviewing, editing, scheduling, story assign-ment, etc. The Community Affiars staff is presently about 20 people and will hopefully expand to between' 30-40 over the next year. The Development Director oversees the department? of Promotion, Fundraising, and Underwriting. At this time, none of these departments exist in any real form and would require much time and effort to build them and, once in place, maintain them. The Assistant Program Director oversees and is responsible for all of KUNV's programming but in an assistant capacity working directly with•. >t3h „e.„ „P;:r.•o ger am Director.O a' v&XBHaV,J.E t'f UM'SitJ -WJ3D V As far as the budget is concerned, the total expenditure for a year would be no more than $4560 assuming that the students would be taking 15 credits a semester which is usually not the case. At the end of FY 86-87, KUNV had a ••surplus' of $12,000 and our spending plans for FY 87-88 are identical if not less than last year becuase we' will be spending less in the engineering department. „ .. It is important to note that the positions of Asst. PD and Development Director are not filled at this time and will probably not be filled for some time. By the time they are filled, we hope to have the be-ginnings of a 'sales' department and a better implemented fundraising strategy which will be increasing our funding to cover the expenditure for stipends and much more.

Stipending these positions will guarantee the stability of management positions at KUNV which will only serve to benenfit the station, UNLV, and the community srr'.-x J ji ...-../^ £i.:f.i * r^.;- n.i'j az-ioii-.l^a::^ v-:Jcj rr 9/22/87 / CONSOLIDATED STUDENTS Senate Bill No._ of the 17th Session Introduced by: Senator Jim Miller 0tpr zqSo<5*zX<1 .".v 2-&1 io::^ —'JilijfifitO® ^Viao^i tsnj T b b a ' CS sXti SXtfOW V»-rT*I .
