<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Dear Ms. Woelfle-Erskine,<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I understand you're starting a new process of scheduling new shows and programmers. If that's true,</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I'd like to make a few suggestions.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>1. Get an organizational chart from your immediate superior. Make sure it's signed by the president</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>of the Board of Directors. And documented in the written minutes of an open meeting. As approved</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>in the written minutes of a subsequent meeting. That way you'll know who's supposed to be calling</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>the shots. Versus who's actually calling them.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>2. Run a routine background check on everyone above you. Starting with each resume. Check all</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>degrees claimed at www.studentclearinghouse.org. Get references and check them too. You might</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>be in for a surprise.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>3. Ask for a copy of MCPB's Directors and Officers insurance policy. Check anything you get with </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>your insurance agent. This'll be easy. Because you won't get anything. Then make sure to ask for a</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>written indemnification agreement. Signed by the Board of Directors. Just like #1. That'll be just as</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>easy. Because you won't get that either.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>4. Get a copy of the U.S. Constitution. Look up the first amendment. The one about free speech.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Then ask your immediate superior how that applies to programming at KZYX. And how it's been</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>applied to programmers in the past. People with a spine. Like Marco McClean, Doug McKenty and</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>John Sakowicz.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>5. Look at the Form 990s on the KZYX website. Filed under penalty of perjury. Especially the part</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>swearing that no audited financial statements had been prepared. Then look at the audited financial</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>statements. You can't miss them. There are five of them in a row. 2010 through 2014. Then look at </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Schedule O on each of the Form 990s. Where it says that 'No review was or will be conducted.' And</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>ask your immediate superior a question. 'What's the purpose of that?'</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>6. Last but not least. Check the website for all the 2016 board meeting minutes. That won't take</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>you much time at all. Because they don't exist.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Then before you make any actual decisions on programming, be sure to consider items 1 through 6.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Sincerely,</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Scott M. Peterson</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Mendocino</div><div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><pre style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 40px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-size: 12px;"><span style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px; font-family: tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px; font-size: 14px;"><a title="Send Email" target="_blank" href="http://www.mcoe.us/action/mail/sendmail.cfm?e=YWxpY2V3QGF2cGFudGhlcnMub3Jn" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 205); text-decoration: none;">alicew@avpanthers.org</a></span></span></pre></div></div> </div></body>
