APPENDIX D - General Manager's Report [Missing]

-----
APPENDIX E - Finance Committee Report

Donna Warren [8may04lsb5, 2:36]:
"We met, twice. First we had our pre-convened meeting where the
elected LSB members met, and then earlier today at eleven o'clock we
held our first meeting of the Finance Committee. It was very, very
productive; and I thank the General Manager for her invitation to the
Finance Committee to meet with management, because we talked about
that extensively in our meeting - that one of the things that we did
want to do was sit down with you and, with flow charts, organization
charts, everything that you have available, to really get us, not only
acclimated but into the budget process. And, a little bit later,
Sonali is going to read a motion that we prepared to get us started in
that area.

"On the twenty-eighth of April, at a special meeting of the National
Pacifica Board, a communication policy was passed; and, on that, maybe
for about a minute, maybe I can turn it over to David, which I didn't
tell you beforehand, so that you can just give us a recap of what that
policy was, and then turn it back."

Dave Adelson [4:06]:
"This is just apropos the question of how we as a committee are going
to get information, and the second part of that policy basically says
that the committee chair will contact the manager for information
requests and that if there's any dispute about whether the information
request is appropriate it should be noticed to our local coordinating
committee member (which in this case is me). I submit it and the
coordinating committee on its bi-weekly call will assign a timeframe
and a person to deal with the question. If it's a contentious
question then it'll go to the National Board in full; but, in general,
the committee chairs will communicate with the manager or the
manager's designate to deal with information requests."

Donna Warren [4:42]:
"Thank you, David. Basically, in our meeting, we had a question about
information requests: how to go about asking for these requests, and
we were very fortunate to have our new business manager - Archie sat
with us in our finance committee meeting, which was very, very
helpful, because he was able to answer quite a few questions that we
had. But from that meeting, we devised, created a motion that I would
like a committee member, Sonali Kolhatkar, to read at this time."

Sonali Kolhatkar [5:20]:
"Since the committee just met before this meeting, we apologize for
not having this motion in writing. It's on my computer, though, and I
can certainly email the actual text after the meeting, but let me read
it out. This is a motion that we are making to the Local Station
Board as a whole for approval."

RESOLVED, That the Finance Committee requests of station management
monthly financial reports retroactive to the beginning of the fiscal
year FY04 until the present. We also request of management a policy
statement that includes:

1) A report detailing to whom document requests from the Finance
Committee are to be made,
2) What documents will be provided on a regular basis to the Finance
Committee,
3) What documents will be available on request to the Finance
Committee,
4) What documents cannot be reviewed by the Finance Committee and
for what reason,
5) How management will be conducting the budgeting process for the
station,
6) How management proposes to work with the Finance Committee during
the budgeting process,
7) Which station personnel have budgeting authority and discretion,
and what are the limits on that, and
8) How do unbudgeted expenses get approved?

FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Finance Committee also requests that the
General Manager schedule a date for an orientation meeting with us.

"So that's our motion to the Local Station Board, and we ask for
discussion and a vote."

Sonali Kolhatkar [11:09]:
"As part of the committee I just want to explain to the board that if
the budgeting process is starting on May 10th, and if the Finance
Committee cannot get information from the management before the
budgeting process starts (because part of our information request is:
How can we get involved? What's our role?), then it really binds us,
it really cripples us from actually getting involved in the finance."

Donna Warren [12:28]:
"I just wanted to continue my report, and also to reply that I am very
happy that the General Manager did give us that invitation, because
I'm hoping that she will see that we want to take you up on the
invitation even though the motion did not pass.

"But to conclude with my report, we also talked about the Development
Committee, and I wanted to turn the mic over to another one of our
members, Jane Hallaren, to talk a minute about the Development
Committee and its relationship to the Finance Committee."

Jane Hallaren [13:08]:
"I actually have spoken about this in front of the committee before.
The confusion is that we brought it to Structure. Structure said,
'make a decision in Finance.' We realized that we really were not in
order to make a decision because we'd be doing business, as we were
just a casual 'getting-together' (We had not had an official meeting
yet). So, we all need a point of clarification. I guess what we've
decided is that we will now discuss it, if that's where Structure
leaves us, and we will come to you and tell you what we're going to
do.

"And, just quickly, it is to create and merge a Development Committee
with the Finance Committee, which should in essence fill a lot of
holes and help communication and be fundraisers while knowing what's
needed."

-----
APPENDIX F - Programming Oversight Committee Report

Report of Program Oversight Committee (PrOC)

The initial public meeting of the Programming Oversight Committee was
held at the station on 4/29/04, with four members of the committee
present: Nile elWardani, Sherna Gluck, Alan Minsky and Fernando
Velasquez. Committee member Bill Gallegos was absent.

Program Director Armando Gudiño attended the meeting, along with 6-8
listeners, including two of the listeners elected to the iPC, Michael
Novick and Lerner Goode (who came near the end), all of whom
participated throughout the discussion.

Two documents formed the basis for a wide ranging discussion in the
attempt to define the charge/scope of the committee: the original LAB
resolution on the iPC and the Pacifica by-laws. Specifically, Article
7, Section 3.G of the by-laws state that it is the duty of the LSB "To
work with station management to ensure that station programming
fulfills the purposes of the Foundation and is responsive to the
diverse needs of the listeners (demographic) and communities
(geographic) served by the station, and that station policies and
procedures for making programming decisions and for program evaluation
are working in a fair, collaborative and respectful manner to provide
quality programming.

Accordingly, the four voting members of the committee agreed that:

1. It is the responsibility of the PrOC to review the policies and
procedures developed by the iPC or any subsequent, independent PC to
assure that they are in conformity with the Pacifica Mission,
diversity goals and FCC regulations.

2. As part of its obligation to assure that the station policies and
procedures for making programming decisions and for program evaluation
are working in a fair, collaborative and respectful manner, the PrOC
should serve a kind of "ombuds" role to deal with differences between
the Program Director and the iPC and/or to assure due process if/when
there is an unresolved conflict between the Program Director and/or
the iPC and a current or prospective programmer.

3. The members further recommend that the Structure Committee and
Outreach Committee should work collaboratively to make recommendations
to the LSB on the composition of the Community Advisory Board (CAB),
whose role is to perform community needs assessment. [This suggestion
was forwarded to the Structure Committee it passed such a resolution.]

-----
APPENDIX G - PrOC/iPC Joint Meeting Report

Report on Joint Meeting of 4/29/04 of PrOC and 6 listener members of
iPC
Prepared by Sherna Gluck

Following a PrOC meeting, a joint meeting was held with six of the
seven listeners elected to the iPC: Lerner Goode, Linda Krausen, Siu
Hin Lee, Michael Novick, Rafael Renteria and Randy Smith. John Bachar
was absent.

The PD attended a portion of the meeting, and approximately 4-5
listeners attended.

The eleven people from PrOC and iPC agreed that:

1. Elections should proceed as soon as possible for the 4 staff (2
paid, 2 unpaid) and 4 Collective seats on the iPC. There was no
agreement on the definition of Collectives, although Sherna reported
that in the meeting she and Sui Hin had with Armando there was
agreement that the station definition of Collectives would be accepted
for now, i.e. those Collectives that do programming. [Note: the GM in
a subsequent conversation also used this definition.]

2. The previous exclusion of on air programmers running for the
staff seats resulted in excluding many people of color and should be
set aside.

3. That it might be a good idea for the PNB to consult with the
Pacifica attorney to clarify the CPB regulations with regard to the
CAB. [Note: the LSB secretary had previously made this request of the
ED and the Structure Committee has since approved a follow letter.]

There was, however, no consensus on the charge of the iPC.

The PrOC members in attendance had reached consensus that the iPC's
role was to develop policies and procedures on programming - which was
then reviewed by PrOC in accordance with the By-Laws - and to review
current programming and preview prospective programming. This charge
is derived from points #1 and 2 of the original LAB proposal.

No consensus position was presented by the six-member group of the
iPC. Rather, one member read a statement to the effect that "all the
'powers and authorities' of the original LAB motion be vested in the
iPC group. The other members of the group did not indicate their
positions and the convenor of their group mentioned that she had not
seen the statement that was read. Points 3 and 4 of the original role
defined for the iPC clearly are no longer relevant. According to the
Pacifica by-laws, it is the LSB that monitors compliance with the
Pacifica Mission (#3) and according to CPB regulations, the CAB is to
perform community needs assessment (#4).

The time lines contained in #5 and #6 of the original charge are
clearly no longer relevant and/or were totally unrealistic. Although
it seems self-evident that "LSB" replace "LAB" as the entity to which
reports are submitted and where they are reviewed, Renteria suggested
that, instead, CAB be substituted for "LAB." Neither this nor his
suggestion that the iPC be made a committee of management was
agreeable to the PrOC, nor was the position of the other 5 members of
the group clear.

-----
APPENDIX H - Programming Oversight Committee Minority Report

Bill Gallegos [8may04lsb6, 0:12]:
"I just want to say I wasn't able to be at that meeting. We had
originally scheduled a meeting prior to that and it wasn't able to
happen.

"There's a couple of issues that I have concern with that are in the
Report. One is just how the issue of potential conflict of interest
for current programmers, as part of an evaluation and recommendation
process of current programming and future programming. It's a
question, because I realize we do have to take the question of
composition - of including people of color and working class folks -
into this. But I'm just raising that as a potential problem. I mean
if I was a programmer I might evaluate my program as A++. So, I just
want to raise that as one, yeah, that's a question."

-----
APPENDIX I - Management Evaluation and Review Committee Report

Sonali Kolhatkar [8may04lsb6, 4:37]:
"I was the convener of the meeting, but we haven't elected a chair,
yet. So, I'll just give a short summary of the meeting, which took
place yesterday at the station at 10 a.m. Proper notice was filed via
the management to the website and Chair, et cetera. Once I just make
a short summary I'd like to open it up to other Committee members who
were there who'd like to add to the report.

"The meeting was attended by all five elected members, which include
myself, Alan Minsky, Fernando Velazquez, Donna Warren, and Leslie
Radford. There were two additional LSB Members: Madeleine Schwab and
Harrison Weil. Listener Roger Zimmerman and staff member Ronny
Mikkelsen also managed to attend.

"Since we are the first Evaluation Committee, we realized that we
needed to construct a process from scratch, which will be used every
year. Since the charge of the LSB is to prepare a written evaluation
of the General Manager and Program Director each year; so, we realized
it was important for us to set up a fair 360 degree evaluation process
that the LSB will eventually approve of that can be used each year, so
that's it's repeated fairly and there aren't different criteria used
each year. There's the question of what basis to conduct evaluations
on, and it included asking for job descriptions, evaluating on the
basis of the Pacifica Mission. There was a discussion on whether to
count staff input this time, or whether that should be included in the
ED's report, which isn't always done but is supposed to be done every
year. We talked about the various angles of evaluation, which would
or could include staff input, listener input, previous evaluations,
etc.

"There was also a discussion of committee membership and sensitivity
of personnel information. We agreed that all five voting members
should sign confidentiality agreements similar to those signed by
search committee members. There's a question about expanding the
committees. We decided to wait until the Structure Committee gave us
direction on how to expand the committees, if that was going to
happen.

"Because we now have a National Communications Policy that allows
committees to make information requests of the National Office, the
Committee is in the process of preparing a letter from the Management
Evaluation Committee to the National Office to ask for any legal
considerations or guidelines from the National Office that we need to
be aware of around the hiring and firing of GMs and PDs.

"We also agreed to present a motion to the Local Station Board around
an issue that we agreed on, which was the uniformity of the process
network-wide on management evaluation ... asking the LSB to approve
our efforts to begin coordinating with other Management Evaluation
Committees in all five signal areas, so that one uniform process can
be adopted across the network, with the recognition of signal area
differences and legal considerations. The Committee felt that it
wouldn't be fair and ... that it could open us up to liabilities if
different GMs ... and different PDs across the network were evaluated
by different standards, and so there was recognition of the need to
have a uniform standard.

"So, we hope that the Committee [sic] will recognize the motion and
perhaps we can vote on it."

Leslie Radford [9:20]:
"I'd just like to clarify that we are not clear on whether we can do
signal area differences or not, and that was why signal area
differences and legal matters are both included in that statement.
Obviously, if legally we cannot do differences across signal areas
then we will not do that."

-----
APPENDIX J - Outreach Committee Report

Madeleine Schwab [8may04lsb6, 11:35]:
"I'm Madeline Schwab, the convener of the Committee meetings. We've
had three, the first with the five elected LSB Members and two public
meetings. We've come up with a proposal, but first we want to just
enter into the record as a result of one of our meetings a Thank
You..."

THANKS EXPRESSED FOR OUTREACH EFFORTS

The KPFK Members attending the May 1st, 2004 LSB Outreach Committee
meeting wish to thank and encourage:

(1) KPFK Members who have been printing and distributing flyers
promoting KPFK;
(2) KPFK Members who have raised money for a KPFK bus stop
advertisement and who are now designing it and negotiating for its
installation;
(3) The station management and staff for reprinting the KPFK
programming grid together with a statement of KPFK's mission and
history, that can be used for ongoing outreach efforts.

"So, again, this falls under the Outreach Committee because these are
people whose shoulders we're standing on, who've already done
outreach."

WHEREAS, The KPFK Local Station Board has instructed the newly formed
committees to meet to define their duties; and

WHEREAS, An increased and diverse listenership will forward the
Pacifica mission as well as the viability of the station; and

WHEREAS, The Outreach Committee has begun to identify initial
activities to begin fulfilling its charge;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That the KPFK Outreach Committee be
responsible for the following activities:

1. Identifying methods for increasing station listenership,
membership, and involvement with a special emphasis on reaching out to
a diversity of all races, creeds, colors, languages, nationalities,
classes, genders, sexual orientations, ages, and abilities; and
2. Help KPFK build collaborative relations with organizations,
especially the underrepresented of the groups listed above, working
for similar purposes; and
3. In conjunction with station management and the KPFK Volunteer
Coordinator, identify a diverse pool of individuals and community
groups to volunteer in the implementation and operation of various
station events and activities; and
4. Work in concert with various other KPFK committees to do outreach
around the Pacifica mission; and
5. Concerning outreach, report and recommend to the LSB as
circumstances require.

AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the KPFK LSB may assign additional
activities and issues to which the committee shall respond and advise
as requested.

"Just a P.S. that our committee is meeting again on May 22nd, from
eleven to one at the Echo Park United Methodist Church. May 22nd,
that's a Saturday. We'll discuss, hopefully, this passed proposal, as
well as the structure of our committee membership and projects."

APPENDIX K - Structure Committee Report

STRUCTURE COMMITTEE REPORT 5-08-04

The Structure Committee wishes to report that it met and deliberated
on several issues assigned to it or assumed to be in the nature of its
scope. Recognizing the urgency of forming a Community Advisory Board
so as to demonstrate compliance with CPB regulations, the Structure
Committee passed the following resolution:

RESOLVED, That the Structure Committee shall work with the Outreach
Committee to prepare a resolution for presentation at the next LSB
meeting after May 8th for the formation of a Community Advisory Board
that is racially and ethnically diverse, gender balanced, and includes
youth, representatives of the labor and low-income communities and
other under-represented communities who are committed to the Pacifica
Mission.

Additionally, the Structure Committee recommends the adoption of the
following resolutions by the LSB:

1) RESOLVED, That committees bring policy recommendations and a
general implementation plan to the LSB for approval. If approved,
committees are empowered to fulfill the plan. Further resolved, That
potential voting members may be nominated by the committee or the LSB
but must be elected by the LSB.

A committee member wishes to present a minority report on this
recommendation.

2) RESOLVED, That the LSB form a committee that will review and
recommend policies and procedures related to the workplace that are
not covered by the union contract, including but not limited to
temporary and volunteer staff.

A committee member wishes to present a minority report on this
recommendation.

3) RESOLVED, That a standing advisory committee shall be established
to be named the Committee on the Arts, that the initial membership of
the committee shall be five LSB Members elected by STV, that the
convener of the first meeting shall be the Member receiving the most
votes, and that the duties of this committee shall include:

a) to explore and make recommendations to the LSB in order to
provide an outlet for the creative talents of the community.

4) RESOLVED, That the duties of the KPFK LSB Structure Committee shall
include:
a) to develop and recommend processes for the functioning of the
LSB and its committees, including but not limited to matters related
to committee membership, meeting times, meeting locations, and other
procedures,
b) to recommend the establishment of committees and draft
appropriate language for consideration by the LSB, upon the request of
any LSB member, and
c) to perform other such related tasks as the LSB may assign and to
report and recommend to the LSB as circumstances require.

5) RESOLVED, That the KPFK Local Station Board shall hold a regular
meeting each calendar month, that it shall alternate its meetings
between a weekday evening and a weekend day, that in even months it
shall meet on the first Thursday evening of the month, beginning at 7
pm, and that in odd months it shall meet on the second Sunday of the
month, beginning at 1 pm.

APPENDIX L - Structure Committee Minority Report

STRUCTURE COMMITTEE MINORITY REPORT 5-08-04

The undersigned, a minority of the Structure Committee, not agreeing
with the majority, desires to express his views regarding the
resolutions recommended for adoption.

With respect to the 1st resolution presented for LSB approval, this
member believes that the first part of the resolution is too vague and
risks assigning to a particular committee responsibilities in
implementation that would appropriately belong to station management.

The more appropriate approach, in this member's opinion, would be to
empower a committee when the plan is approved, not before.

With respect to the second portion of the 1st resolution presented for
LSB approval, this member believes that:
a) all committee members, in general practice, should be voting
members; and
b) all committees, in general practice, should have authority to
appoint additional members; and, under certain conditions, with a
2/3rds vote, to expel them.

The standing committees are advisory to the LSB and serve at its
pleasure. If the LSB does not trust the committee membership to
adequately review and recommend on the issue under deliberation, it
should reject the committee's recommendation. If the LSB does not
trust a committee's current membership to adequately review and
recommend on the issues it is normally assigned, the LSB should
dissolve and replace the committee. Any other game is a waste of
everyone's time. Each committee is in the best position to review the
knowledge, skills, and perspectives of its initial membership and
determine what additional knowledge, skills, and perspectives it needs
in order to fairly and properly fulfill its duties. Requiring LSB
approval of committee membership changes hamstrings committees and
burdens the LSB with nominee reviews, when the main purpose of
committees is to reduce the work of the LSB.

The minority recommends rejecting the 1st Structure Committee
resolution. Suggesting general rules for committee membership
including the balancing of various interests and rule exceptions for
certain committees all should come under the general mandate for the
Structure Committee, so no other LSB action on the 1st resolution is
required.

With respect to the 2nd resolution presented for LSB approval, this
member believes that the resolution is incomplete. A primary purpose
of the Structure Committee is to assist LSB Members in the crafting of
complete committee resolutions. If a resolution creating a committee
is incomplete, then the LSB cannot continue with any other business
until the details of the resolution are completed. (RONR p. 163, l.
31-32; p. 165, l. 28-32.)

The rules for special committees apply to the first time a standing
committee is created. (RONR p. 4751-6.) If the method of appointment
of committee members is not in the resolution then it is an incomplete
resolution. (RONR p. 164, l. 9-10; p. 473, l. 24-26.)

A committee may not begin its business until its members are chosen
and announced to the LSB, unless the resolution creating the committee
says that the committee may begin to act before the announcement is
made back to the LSB. (RONR p. 167, l. 26-29.).

A committee requires a quorum to act and unless the number of the
members of the committee are known no quorum may be calculated. "The
quorum in a committee is a majority of its membership unless the
assembly has prescribed a different quorum." (RONR p. 482, l. 23-25.)

Accordingly, this member recommends the adoption of a substitute
motion, as follows:

RESOLVED, That a standing committee of the LSB shall be immediately
established, to be named the Workplace Issues Committee,
a) that this committee shall initially include between two and five
LSB members,
b) that this committee shall initially include one unpaid staff
representative LSB member,
c) that if more than five LSB members express a willingness and
desire to serve on this committee, then the initial membership of this
committee shall be determined by STV election,
d) that the chair pro-tem of this committee, for the purpose of
calling a first meeting, shall be the member receiving the most votes,
e) that, in the event that committee seats are filled without a
vote, the LSB presiding officer shall select a chair pro-tem,
f) that the committee shall select its own chair,
g) that the committee shall meet and develop an initial list of
issues for its consideration and report this progress at the next
regular LSB meeting,
h) that such additional individuals as the members on the committee
shall from time to time choose by majority vote may also be appointed,
i) that the ratio of staff members to listener-sponsor members on
this committee shall not exceed 1-to-3,
j) that the ratio of paid to unpaid staff members on this committee
shall not exceed 1-to-1,
k) that three consecutive absences from regular committee meetings
shall remove a committee member, unless this would leave the
committee with less than 2 LSB members or violate a mandated ratio,
l) that this committee is authorized to hold closed meetings when
considering subjects for which an LSB meeting may properly be closed,
and
m) that the duties of this committee shall include:

1. to review and recommend policies and procedures related to the
workplace that are not covered by existing union contracts, including
but not limited to temporary and volunteer staff,
2. to assist the LSB in making sure that procedures are in place
for the fair resolution of internal disputes, and
3. to perform other such related tasks as the LSB may assign and
to report and recommend to the LSB as circumstances require.

FURHER RESOLVED, That if this resolution is adopted by a 2/3rds vote
of the LSB, then issues clearly related to its assigned duties may be
automatically referred to the Workplace Issues Committee.

APPENDIX N - Summary of Public Comments

This report on public comments has been prepared by the Secretary and
is attached to the minutes for general reference. Inclusion of this
report is no representation from the LSB or the speakers mentioned as
to its accuracy or completeness, nor is it an endorsement of any
content herein.

Anti-STV Listener [8may04lsb10, 11:20]
"...I was shocked and dismayed to see how many people voted against
the idea of the PNB's votes appearing by roll call." We need openness
and accountability. Secret ballots prevent accountability. STV
voting obscures the process.

Rafael Renteria [12:57]
There are overlapping mandates for the iPC, the LSB, and the CAB, and
it was the unanimous decision of the joint PrOC/iPC meeting that this
issue be referred to the Pacifica attorney, seriously. This consensus
was misrepresented in the PrOC report of that meeting.

Lawrence Reyes [15:00]
"There's an ethical question here." Was candidate information
distributed without the candidates' permission? Every committee
should submit a written report. If you want transparency and
accountability, you have to be willing to give it.

Casey McFall [17:55]
If a Minority Report is submitted and not read, please get it posted
on the Internet. I'm disappointed that the Finance Committee's
resolution was tabled. You're going to need a lot of information to
do your work. A process has been established to log when information
requests are made and when they are responded to. I respectfully
request that you, as a board, request the information outlined in the
committee resolution, and also request any existing personnel policies
and procedures, any memoranda modifying those policies, any existing
fiscal management policies and procedures and memoranda modifying
those, any existing volunteer management policies and procedures and
memoranda modifying those policies, copies of insurance policies for
general liability, automobile, board of directors insurance and
volunteer insurance, a current station budget with line item
breakdown, your last fiscal audit, your last affirmative action
report, your current staff evaluation forms and procedures, a current
volunteer handbook, a copy of the fund drive training manual that was
mentioned today, and a detailed description of the ticket security,
cash control, and accounting procedures used before, during, and after
KPFK-controlled fundraising events.

Listener from 50 Miles Away [20:12]
"I'm really happy with the work you guys have done so far, in
general." In Peter Russell's 'The Brain Book' a study was reported
indicating that the brain oscillates between left and right
hemispheres every 45 minutes. The mental efficiency of LSB Members
would be improved by imposing a 5-minute stretch break every 45
minutes, or at least once per hour. Also, I'm disappointed that KPFK
LSB Meetings are not being streamed on the Internet.

According to the Foundation Bylaws, it is an LSB duty to perform
community needs assessment or see to it that Community Advisory
Committees are formed to do so. The LSB is free to delegate this task
to the iPC, or they could do this together. "It's not clear why the
Programming Oversight Committee is so hell-bent to arrogate this duty
to the LSB. "When they resort to irrational arguments and show
inappropriate vehemence ... in promoting a position, they must have
some underlying motive, and since they're not disclosing it, it's
probably dishonorable."

Roger Zimmerman [2:18]
"We need to know ... what the National Board Directors are doing and
what their thinking is." Each Director must be made accountable
through the recording of their roll call votes. The very reason for
the democratization struggle was because of a period in which the
National Board instituted a system of secret decision-making. I urge
reconsideration of the question.

Dele Ailemon [4:10]
"I'm very glad that the management has established some broadcast
outposts in the community." That is commendable. Maybe it can be a
duty of the Outreach Committee to inform people in the community that
these facilities are available, so that they can go there. If the
purpose of the LSB in holding its meetings in various venues around
the city is outreach and community mobilization, it's clearly not
working. Look around. The same group attends each meeting. You need
to encourage the participation of the community collectives.

Sharon from Long Beach [6:40]
"Long Beach welcomes you." We had to scramble to find this venue, and
there was not sufficient time to do the board proud by notifying
community activists or providing refreshments. Democracy is hell.
Thank you for standing in there. It's hard to learn to work together,
particularly when people come from slightly adversarial positions.
It's hard to learn to get over it, but I know you will. Some
committee should look ahead for scheduling, pay attention to the
calendars of area activist organizations to avoid major conflicts, and
try to pull in more of the community members who use KPFK. It might
also help if sometimes LSB Members could break bread together with the
community after meetings.

Listener at First Meeting [9:50]
"I have to tell you that the impression I get is that Robert's Rules
has not always been used to move issues forward." I urge you to have a
little flexibility with a focus on getting the work done, and I want
to echo the sentiments of others with respect to the importance of
written reports and roll call votes.

Gordon Stitch [10:50]
It seems that the LSB should have its own portable meeting sound
system, so that it is not dependant on the generosity and scheduling
of others. The station and meeting attendees could be asked to help.

Margot Eiser [11:15]
If there is to be financial transparency in management I think there
has to also be financial transparency in governance and its
committees. I'd also like to see this format expanded for more
regular listener participation.

Harry Cottle [12:50]
Perhaps the National Board Members on the LSB should not be voting
when the LSB considers procedural recommendations to the PNB, due to a
potential conflict of interest, especially when the issue is
transparency.

Axel [14:15]
"I believe my efforts would be consistent with your efforts." I've
left contact information with a member of the board.
