<div dir="ltr">Dear Ms. Hartley,<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks very much for your response. I know this is a lot for you. And I</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>appreciate your time and attention.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Back in October of 2013, I discovered an unusual policy at MCPB. That </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Form 990s weren't being reviewed by the organization. And that</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>governing documents weren't being made available to the public. This</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>was stated -- as policy -- on three years worth of Form 990s. Under</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>penalty of perjury. So I reported it. You can see my letter in the AVA</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>here:</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://theava.com/archives/24569" target="_blank">http://theava.com/archives/24569</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I also reported this to MCPB's Board of Directors. Expecting that this</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>policy would either stop. Or that the Board of Directors would provide</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>a public explanation for it. My contact was John Sakowicz. He wasn't</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>aware of that policy. But seemed <span style="font-size: 12pt;">genuinely concerned. So I figured it </span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">was being handled.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><font size="3">Earlier </font>this<font size="3"> year, I found that it wasn't. And that more Form 990s had</font></div><div><font size="3"><br></font></div><div><font size="3"><br></font></div><div><font size="3">been </font><span style="font-size: 12pt;">filed with the exact same policy. Furthermore, they showed that </span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">MCPB </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">hadn't prepared any audited financial statements for the seven </span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">years in </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">a row. 2008 through 2014. You can see for yourself here:</span></div><div><font size="3"><br></font></div><div><font size="3"><br></font></div><div><a href="http://nccsweb.urban.org/communityplatform/nccs/organization/profile/id/680050440/popup/1" target="_blank">http://nccsweb.urban.org/communityplatform/nccs/organization/profile/id/680050440/popup/1</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I brought this to Meg Courtney's attention in April. And asked her for an</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>explanation: "What's the reason for this policy?" The response I got was</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>bizarre. She told me there was no such policy. Contradicting five years</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>worth of Form 990s. Signed under penalty of perjury. By MCPB's</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Executive Director, John Coate. He told me the same thing. Word for</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>word. So I attended the MCPB board meeting in May of this year. To</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>report what I'd found. To the entire board. Then in early June, I found</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>this response:</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.ukiahdailyjournal.com/opinion/20160602/kzyx-board-responds" target="_blank">http://www.ukiahdailyjournal.com/opinion/20160602/kzyx-board-responds</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>It's an editorial with your name on it, Ms. Hartley. Saying that MCPB's</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Form 990s are all fine. And so are the audited financial statements.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>This was in response to an earlier editorial by Mr. Sakowicz. Reporting</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>my findings. And echoing my concerns. Which are legitimate. Here's </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>what I believe happened to MCPB. And how:</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>MCPB trusted Mr. Coate to operate KZYX. Without any oversight at all.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Mr. Coate wasn't up to the task. So MCPB started bleeding cash. A lot</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>of it. Before Mr. Coate's arrival, MCPB's net assets were $350,000. And</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>the debt was ($40,000). That was obvious in Form 990s. So Mr. Coate</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>kept them to himself. Today, MCPB's net assets are $11,000. And the </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>debt is ($80,000). So MCPB is running out of time.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>MCPB's main grant maker is the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>They have a non-compliance policy. It prohibits what MCPB has been</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>doing. You can see that here:</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.cpb.org/files/stations/non-compliance/CPB-CSG-Non-compliance-Policy-Effective-January-1-2016.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.cpb.org/files/stations/non-compliance/CPB-CSG-Non-compliance-Policy-Effective-January-1-2016.pdf</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>So after reading your editorial, I sent them a copy. Along with a link to</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>MCPB's Form 990s. The ones swearing that no audits had been done.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Under penalty of perjury. Along with links to six years of Annual </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Financial Reports (or AFRs). Reporting that audits had been done. You</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>can see those here:</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.kzyx.org/index.php/about-us/station-business/mcpb-bylaws-and-financial-statements" target="_blank">http://www.kzyx.org/index.php/about-us/station-business/mcpb-bylaws-and-financial-statements</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>If I hadn't seen your name on that editorial, this never would've</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>happened. But now that it has, you can expect a visit from the CPB.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Along with more editorials.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Sincerely,</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Scott M.

Bragg board meeting that you attended. I submit my minutes to the station to be posted, but the board has to approve them first. The KZYX website has had many problems and posting minutes has been a big problem. The board is actively looking into ways to fix the website. Also, if you read the by-laws, executive committee minutes are not required to be made available to the public. </div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px;"><br style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px;"></div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px;">On a personal note, as a board member, I am trying to help find answers to listener questions. The board has responded to most of your questions, but you still seem unsatisfied. I do not know how to convince you that we are acting in good faith, even when we prove it to you using the by-laws or case law. That said, please remember that the board is volunteering their time. KZYX is run for the benefit of the community and the board has been committed to responding to listener concerns. You obviously have a lot of passion for the station, and I wish that you and the station could find a way to work together. </div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px;"><br style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px;"></div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px;">I hope that I have answered your questions and look forward to finding a more productive way of working with you in the future. </div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px;"><br style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px;"></div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px;">Sincerely,</div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px;"><br style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px;"></div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px;">Jenness. </div><div class="ecxgmail_extra" style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px;"><br style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px;"><div class="ecxgmail_quote" style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px;">On Sat, Jun 11, 2016 at 11:20 PM, Scott Peterson <span dir="ltr" style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px;"><<a href="mailto:scottmartinpeterson@hotmail.com" target="_blank" style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(0, 104, 207); cursor: pointer;">scottmartinpeterson@hotmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px;"><blockquote class="ecxgmail_quote" style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; border-left-width: 1px; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-style: solid; padding-left: 1ex;"><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px;"><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;">Dear Ms. Hartley,</div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;"><br style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px;"></div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;"><br style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px;"></div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;">I got your email address from Mr. Raoul van Hall.

What
possible financial responsibility do you think that the volunteer
directors of a non-profit corporation, and the corporation itself for
that matter, have. You threaten suit, but you have to have a
documentable financial loss to sue for compensation. Sue because you
didn’t get the programming you wanted, now there is a laugh.
I also am unable to make heads nor tails of your statements regarding
the 990 tax form or your comment about how the station has already
released member contact information. They haven’t. Why not list a
specific circumstance that you think is improper along with the law or
regulation that you think it violates, and then explain what the
complaint in your suit would specify?
