John.

 

The station was off the air for two days not three. Still bad but please get
the facts straight.

I'll answer anything you want to know for which I know the answer, and that
does not violate the Board's few rules on what is confidential, i.e.
litigation, personnel issues, etc.  That said, I can't cut and paste or
otherwise copy emails sent on the Board's listserv. But I can probably
summarize what's going on.

 

in any case, the Board hardly ever uses its listserv anymore. They
communicate privately among themselves and with station management. I get
the distinct impression I'm left out of the loop, and if I can prove this,
I'll amend my FCC complaint to include what is essentially a Brown Act
violation, although the station does not adhere to Brown Act rules. 

 

About committee work, I think I'll probably only be serving on one
committee, per se -- a capital campaign committee for replace failing
equipment. 

 

Last week, the station had dead air for three days due to the STL and
exciter units predictably failing for the umpteenth time. Therefore, going
forward, I refuse to raise unrestricted money for operations, in other
words, money for payroll. I'll work my ass off to raise monies restricted
for equipment and technology, but not for payroll. I consider it a major
breach of trust that Coate demanded -- and received -- a 10 % raise in 2013,
while fully knowing that a rebuilt STL and exciter units would likely fail
in 2014.

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! KZYX watchers, members of the Jury,
I propose to bring before you another witness: the notorious John Sakowicz. 

I'll start with the same question I just asked newly elected Paul Lambert:

1) As a member of the board will you report back, regularly and
transparently, to the rest of us on this list (or one that is equally open)
about the dialog taking place on the board? That would mean that you would
report the topics discussed on the board listserv and at committee meetings,
not only those that are broadly agreed to but also those that are disputed,
with the understanding that you would not report on matters that are
properly confidential, which is limited to certain personnel or legal
issues. 

Note to John: I know you have a lot to say but I would appreciate it if you
would confine your answer to a paragraph and stay on topic. If you mention
John Coate you get an automatic "F."  And even if you get this question
right, there will be more questions, and they get harder.
