Motion: That the LSB has a translation system for the Spanish speaking audience
for the LSB general meetings. It can be done with a dedicated person appointed
by the LSB or by an electronic device if there are many people in the audience
and that this be analyzed by the Finance Committee. In this way the Spanish
speaking shows can invite people to these meetings. Also, there should be on-
air announcements in Spanish of all LSB meetings and that translation into
Spanish will be provided. Vote after public comment:

of March 17, 2005 that the LSB provide Spanish-English translation for Spanish
speakers at its meetings, and that there be on-air announcements in Spanish of

all remaining meetings this year and subsequently; b) that the LSB obtain the
use of electronic translation equipment (earpieces, etc.); and that c) the LSB

on results of held meetings." Motion passed by unanimous consent.
