Subject: Court Order to inspect KZYX records Re: [MCN-Discussion]- Fwd: Letter to Mr Jared Huffman 

The public participation hater's group entrenched in KZYX management 
staff and board, needs to be restrained by a future court order. 

This is so that Mendocino Sheriff deputies are there as ushers at the 
radio station, to ensure a chain of custody in the records inspection 
is carried out in a verified civil manner, along with participation of 
a possible independent court appointed auditor or notary public, to 
document which records are on file, missing or have been possibly 
destroyed by the troika of outgoing Coates, Aigner, and Campbell. 

Interesting will be just how many voting memberships are from Lake 
County, and the real world financial grit of how station program 
policy and volunteer broadcast participation, is being guided by 
demographics of advertising dollars aimed at advertising dollars of 
vehicles traveling the roadways in the broadcast listening area. 

Also to be appreciated, is an insight of reductions in the overlap of 
County government reporting and complementary or competing programming 
by adjacent major public radio station KMUD in Humboldt County and 
public service all volunteer start up KPFZ in Lakeport 

Necessary is that listening public and local public officials with 
attention spans limited to enjoying pubic radio, can cut through 
grandstanding hyperbole, to a limited extent on both sides of the 
polarized matter of KZYX responsibility to its public membership base 
pursuant to applicable laws and station corporate membership rules.
