However, the Board of Directors Policies and Procedures require minutes to be kept of all Committee meetings. There are three sections of the P&P that are relevant: Accountability, Record Keeping, and the hiring of the General Manager, which are copied below. In general, Members have the right to attend any Board meetings (and apparently any Committee meetings), to ask questions and make comments, and to have access to the minutes of those meetings. However, there is a big exception for personnel matters, which is acknowledged by both state law and federal regulations. My own opinion is that the meetings and minutes of the Personnel and Hiring Committees fall into that exception.<br>> <br>> Although Mr. Campbell selected the chair of the Hiring Committee, had access to confidential information, and broke his promise not to seek the GM position, he ultimately was not chosen. Even though his own actions are suspect, it would be difficult to conclude that the Committee's decision was improperly influenced by him.<br>> <br>> In my Notice of Intent to Sue, I mistakenly suggested that changes in the Bylaws must be reported to the California Secretary of State. This is incorrect. Only changes to the Article of Incorporation need to be reported.<br>> <br>> Hopefully this clarifies the rights and responsibilities of both the Board and the Members regarding such matters.<br>> <br>> Dennis<br>> <br>> <br>> 3 ACCOUNTABILITY<br>> <br>> 3.1 Access:<br>> It shall be the policy of the Board to allow open access to financial records, program <br>> plans and other documents describing and related to the operations and works of KZYX & KZYZ to <br>> anyone who expresses interest. Requests must be made during regular business hours (M-F, 9-5). <br>> Copies may be made provided that the person so requesting pay nominal copy costs. Excluded from <br>> this policy are personnel records, financial donations where the donor requires anonymity, and <br>> other sensitive information which may come up from time to time which if publicly known might <br>> adversely affect the outcome of sensitive negotiations.<br>> <br>> 3.2 Documentation:<br>> Minutes shall be kept of all meetings of the Board of MCPB and be available to anyone desiring <br>> copies, providing that they pay nominal copy costs. Request shall be made during normal business <br>> hours.<br>> <br>> 3.3 Meetings:<br>> All meetings shall be open to anyone who wishes to attend. A portion of each business meeting <br>> shall be set aside for public questions and commentary. It shall be the policy of the Board to <br>> allow commentary as early in the agenda as possible. The Board reserves the right to hold closed <br>> portions of public meetings to conduct personnel or other sensitive business. Meetings will <br>> be noticed on-air at least 5 days before said meeting. A written notice shall be posted at the <br>> station in a conspicuous place at least 5 days before any meeting.<br>> <br>> 4 RECORD KEEPING<br>> <br>> 4.1 Bookkeeping:<br>> Accounting records shall be kept on the accrual basis and maintained in accordance with policies <br>> and procedures established by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and generally accepted <br>> accounting practice.<br>> <br>> 4.2 Minutes:<br>> Minutes shall be recorded for all Board and Committee meetings, and Annual Membership Meeting and <br>> any other meeting which the Board shall deem necessary. Minutes shall contain: name of group, <br>> date, time and place of the meeting, names of Board members, regrets and absent, names of staff in <br>> attendance and consist of three parts: issue, discussion, and action.<br>> 1. Issue shall be an explanation or description of the topic at hand.<br>> 2. Discussion shall be a summary of who said what and the main point made.<br>> 3. Action shall be a brief description of any action taken on an agenda item. Included in <br>> action can be recommendations that the issue be referred to staff or committee for further study or <br>> and acceptance or rejection of the proposal on the floor.<br>> A full statement of all motions, including the mover and seconded and the result of the vote shall be<br>> contained as well as a clear indication of what follow-up action is to be taken by whom and when it <br>> is needed shall be contained in the minutes. An identification of reports and documents presented <br>> under each agenda item and copies of these items shall be attached to the official copy of Board <br>> minutes.<br>> It shall be the policy of this Board to have the Secretary of the Corporation (or his/her appointee) keep the<br>> minutes of the full Board meeting. In the absence of the Secretary, the chair of the meeting shall <br>> designate the taker of the minutes.<br>> <br>> 4.3 Agendas:<br>> It shall be the policy of the Board to set agendas which give Board members a chance to address the <br>> mission of KZYX & KZYZ as well as the consideration of detail and practical matters. Business <br>> will be arranged so that decisions are made in the most logical order and so that items will <br>> typically not be tabled. Written agendas (including reports and other attachments) shall be sent <br>> to Board members well in advance ofthe meeting, but in no case less than 7 (seven) days in advance <br>> of any meeting in which action shall take place. Agendas will include the presenter name, item and <br>> outcome needed, and the time allowed for discussion.<br>> discussion.<br>> <br>> <br>> 11.5 Hiring Committee:<br>> A hiring committee of the Board will be set up and include at least one Board member from the <br>> Personnel Committee, one Advisory Committee member and one staff member who is not the General <br>> Manager, and one KZYX Programmer. The KZYX programmer will be chosen by the General Manager, where <br>> one exists, and the President of the Board. All candidates shall fill out and return and <br>> application for employment and provide both personal and professional references. It shall be the <br>> policy of the Board to contact references listed by candidates.<br>> <br>> 11.6 Interviews:<br>> Interviews will be set up and completed with the top candidates, as determined by the Hiring <br>> committee. Candidates will be interviewed one at a time. All interviews will occur in a timely <br>> manner. Each interview will be started by an introduction between the applicant and the <br>> committee, and explanation of how the interview will be conducted, how long it will last, and if <br>> the applicant has any questions regarding the<br>> hiring or interviewing process. Anyone who is related to the applicant or who otherwise feels unable to<br>> judge the qualifications of the applicant fairly should leave the room for the duration of the interview.<br>> <br>> Each committee member should proceed to ask the applicant at least one question. Questions can be <br>> about the applicant's experience, strength, or future plans or any other legally defined question <br>> as set forth in the Personnel Policies Manual.<br>> At the end of the interview the applicant will be told when to expect to hear from the Hiring <br>> committee. In no instance shall a person be offered the job at the time of the interview.<br>> When all interviews are complete the committee will set a time to meet and discuss the relative <br>> merits of each candidate and shall make a recommendation to the Board as to whether anyone should <br>> be offered the job. The decision to hire shall be made by the full Board. All candidates will be <br>> informed of the decision of the Board.<br>> <br>> <br>> --------------------------------------------<br>> On Thu, 6/2/16, Scott Peterson <scottmartinpeterson@hotmail.com> wrote:<br>> <br>> Subject: RE: Attn: New KZYX Board Members<br>> To: "Clay Eubank" <clayeubank@gmail.com>, "mkathrynmassey@gmail.com" <mkathrynmassey@gmail.com>, "'Peter Kafin'" <law@kafin.name><br>> Cc: "'John Arteaga'" <johnarteaga110@gmail.com>, "'Doug McKenty'" <dougmck@gmail.com>, "'Meg Courtney'" <mcourtney1@mcn.org>, "'Stuart Campbell'" <scamp1104@comcast.net>, "'Jenness Hartley'" <bronzegold@gmail.com>, "'Richard L Miller'" <radio@mindbodyhealthpolitics.com>, "clay@visionguild.com" <clay@visionguild.com>, "'KZYX LIST'" <kzyxtalk@lists.mcn.org>, "'Bob Page'" <bobp@airportclub.com>, "nsi@mcn.org" <nsi@mcn.org>, "'richard miller'" <drrichardlmiller@gmail.com>, "'Lorraine Dechter'" <ldechter01@gmail.com>, "themaj@pacific.net" <themaj@pacific.net>, "'Norman de Vall'" <ndevall@mcn.org>, "'OBrien, Dennis'" <dennisobrien@sharejerusalem.com>, "jim.sweeney@pressdemocrat.com" <jim.sweeney@pressdemocrat.com>, "'bruce anderson'" <friscobruce@gmail.com>, "pgullixson@pressdemocrat.com" <pgullixson@pressdemocrat.com>, "'Marco McClean'" <memo@mcn.org>, "'Stuart Campbell'" <gm@kzyx.org>, "suspiry@gmail.com" <suspiry@gmail.com>, "'Jane Futcher'" <janefutcher@me.com>, "'K.C.

I got it<br>> from a former KZYX <br>> station manager who<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> recently left over <br>> 'cronyism' and 'nastiness' at KZYX ..<br>> have you gotten his email? .. did <br>> you ignore him? .. <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Mr.<br>> Azarro, I've <br>> never met you .. but I heard your assurance that MCPB<br>> would be acting in <br>> harmony from <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> now<br>> on .. that was at <br>> the Point Noyo board meeting .. where the police<br>> showed up to take someone <br>> away <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> who<br>> wasn't <br>> .. <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Mr.<br>> Middlebrook .. <br>> you sat at a table with me. along with Marco McLean<br>> and others .. after <br>> assuring us that <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> KZYX would be more <br>> transparent in the future .. after five years of Form<br>> 990s had been <br>> cloaked in secrecy .. <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> by<br>> the executive <br>> director of KZYX .. who reported to the board of<br>> directors .. yeah <br>> .. <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> and<br>> Mr. Campbell. <br>> I've sent many emails your way .. not one of them<br>> has gotten a response <br>> .. <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> let<br>> me tell you a <br>> powerful tale .. about the cost of not responding ..<br>> for individual <br>> directors of a nonprofit <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> corporation thinking <br>> they're immune from ignoring people like me<br>> .. <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> there's another <br>> public broadcasting entity you may have heard of .. it<br>> was called MCTV .. <br>> they had a board <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> of<br>> directors too .. <br>> just like you .. and they ignored people too .. just<br>> like me .. and they <br>> all got sued .. just like <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> you're about to be <br>> sued .. by Mr. Dennis O'Brien .. for ignoring<br>> people like me <br>> .. <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> the<br>> outcome of the <br>> MCTV lawsuit is public knowledge .. each of those<br>> directors had to dig <br>> into their individual <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> pockets to pay that <br>> judgment off .. not because they'd done anything<br>> wrong .. but because <br>> they'd ignored <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> people like me <br>> .. <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> I<br>> know this may be <br>> inconvenient for you .. and certainly unpopular .. but<br>> you might want to <br>> check your bank <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> balance today .. or <br>> that tin can buried in your back yard .. and see if<br>> ignoring people like <br>> me is really worth it .. <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> while you're at it .. <br>> do a simple background check on your fellow board<br>> members .. and employees <br>> .. see if it <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> lines up with the <br>> background listed on their resumes .. if you have one<br>> .. if not, you might <br>> want to get one .. <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> a<br>> note on dishonest <br>> associates .. they might not be able get that resume<br>> to you .. in fact, <br>> they might even <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> ignore you .. like <br>> you're doing .. it's easy enough .. right?<br>> .. <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> and<br>> about that <br>> 'indemnification' clause in your bylaws .. you<br>> might want to check the <br>> date on them .. just for <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> laughs .. it's dated <br>> July 12, 2010 .. then check the Form 990 for the same<br>> time period .. where <br>> it says that no <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> changes had been made <br>> to the governing documents at KZYX for that time<br>> period .. thereby <br>> removing any so-<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> called protection <br>> you may have been relying on .. <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> while you're at it .. <br>> you might want to check the bank balances of<br>> the people you've <br>> been relying on .. or the tin <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> cans buried in their <br>> back yards .. <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> and<br>> if you're getting <br>> any legal advice, make sure you've got an<br>> agreement in place .. to bond <br>> that advice .. yeah .. <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> attorneys carry <br>> malpractice insurance .. especially big shots<br>> like David Hopmann and <br>> Eliane Hering .. and for any <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> legal advice, there's <br>> something called a letter of opinion .. where you<br>> can get that advice <br>> in writing .. <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> KZYX has been <br>> running afoul of CPB rules for some time now ..<br>> after taking millions <br>> of dollars in grant money from <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> them .. they're <br>> entitled to recover that money .. all of it .. if<br>> you've been ignoring <br>> them .. <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> sincerely,<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Scott M. <br>> Peterson<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>>
