[Kzyxtalk] KZYX Personnel Policy

[Scott Peterson]

Dear Ms. Courtney,

The number of unresolved grievances at KZYX over the years looks like a 

fairly serious problem. There's a policy that addresses grievances here:

http://media.kzyx.org/mp3/Policies/MCPB%20Policies%20&%20Procedures%20Manual%203-2006.pdf

It's on page 8 at 7.4. Under Personnel. It looks like there's supposed to be 

a Personnel Committee to handle that. But look at the meeting minutes:

http://www.kzyx.org/index.php/about-us/station-business/meeting-minutes

You've been on MCPB's Board of Directors since March of 2013. And the

president for the last six months. During your tenure, I see no record of

any such committee.

The same committee -- according to policy -- is supposed to handle the 

General Manager's evaluation. I see no record of that either.

The only mention of evaluations in MCPB meeting minutes appears to 

be from 2010:

This is straight from the General Manager: "KZYX&Z is one of the only

community radio stations in the country that does not have such a

process in place." 

Actually, it does. It's written into the Policies and Procedures manual:

http://media.kzyx.org/mp3/Policies/MCPB%20Policies%20&%20Procedures%20Manual%203-2006.pdf

The City of Fort Bragg has a policy to conduct General Manager 

evaluations. And one to address grievances. It's all under a written

job description here:

I understand that you were a Council member there once.

So I have two questions for you. Take your time answering them. 

1.     Who benefits when an organization's personnel policy isn't followed?

2.     Aside from the organization, who suffers?

Sincerely,

Scott M. Peterson
