Additions

Report: Information is being
compiled from other stations regarding programming policies,
contracts, program review, FCC rules, review process, etc., in
order to create a policy manual to establish rights and
responsibilities of on-air staff. We are still waiting for
responses from many stations which have been contacted in order
to share information. Will present information to the Board as
soon as all requested information is received and can be
compiled. Executive
Director’s Report: Vic Bedoian distributed
current financial statements. Reported on FFCF
participation in Arts to Zoo 2000 campaign; a flyer was mailed
and phone banking has been arranged on October 24. Yard signs
are available for anyone requesting one. KPFA is about to enter
fundraising marathon period. The Pacifica National Board has
refused to allow KPFA to offer videotapes of “KPFA On The Air”
for use as a pledge premium, but there is an offer from the
filmmakers to provide free copies for stations wishing to offer
it. Vic is looking into acquiring copies for KFCF’s use. Amy
Goodman of Democracy Now! is in a dispute with the Pacifica
Foundation, and has reportedly filed a grievance. Program
Director’s report: New programs are progressing
well and showing much improvement. Ms. Karen has moved on to
work on other projects, and will be replaced by Larry Langford.
Dan Cook is moving his slot to Saturdays. Both programmers had
submitted earlier applications and demo tapes. Susan Stone of KPFA
notified Stover that KPFA will air a marathon program of Joe
Frank, in large part because of the support that show receives
from KFCF listeners. OLD BUSINESS 1.
Lease of studio space. Could lease
additional space from Dr. Littleton for 3 - 5 years. Necessary
improvements include soundproofing, installation of double-paned
windows, etc. Equipment and furniture have been donated for the
space, which is large enough to include a performance studio. A
3-year lease would give time to fundraise towards purchase of a
building. 2.
Local advisory boards.
Speer reported that she is accumulating information
about establishment and function of local advisory boards from other
community radio stations in order to form an exploratory committee. 3.
Other old business.
