Additional agenda items:-



_Motion by Wanzala_:  Whereas the PNB passed a motion at the April 10, 2009 meeting making it Pacifica policy that a

change in status of a Local Station Board member, once elected, will not be deemed a “disqualifying act” unless decided

otherwise by the Pacifica National Board, or until such time as there is an amendment made to the relevant section of

the Pacifica bylaws.” and, whereas, the KPFA LSB majority refused to seat Noelle Hanrahan pursuant to this motion on the

grounds that (1) they did not understand it to be retroactive, (2) they questioned the PNB’s authority to set Local

Station Board policy; and (3) a motion to rescind the motion is pending before the PNB; and; whereas removal of Noelle

Hanrahan was procedurally improper as the KPFA LSB failed to follow the provisions laid out in Section 9 (Removal of

Delegates) of the Pacifica bylaws, and; whereas the failure of the KPFA LSB to reinstate Noelle Hanrahan pursuant to the

change of status resolution passed on April 10, 2009 undermines the authority of the PNB and the institutional coherence

of the Foundation.  Be it resolved that Noelle Hanrahan be immediately reinstated to the KPFA LSB.  (5 Min.)



Motion by Wanzala:



Whereas the PNB passed a motion at the April 2009 meeting stating:-



That the LSBs are to work with station management to ensure that station programming fulfills the purposes of the

Foundation and is responsive to the diverse needs of the listeners (demographic) and communities (geographic) served by

the station, and that station policies and procedures for making programming decisions and for program evaluation are

working in a fair, collaborative and respectful manner to provide quality programming”  We recommend to the PNB that

they request, in writing, an explanation from the GMs and PDs on how they are implementing this bylaw.



Be it resolved that the PNB directs the LSBs and General Managers to submit their written reports to the PNB no later

than September 30, 2009.

  All programmers, program providers, collectives, and/or independent

  Network and which recieve outside (i.e. non-Pacifica) funding from any

  source in excess of $5000 per year for the production of their program

  shall disclose to the GM of their respective station the source of that

  funding, the amounts of money received or promised, and any contractural

  or grant agreements related to that funding for that current year. The

  GM shall forthwith report that information to the Pacifica Executive

  Director who shall hold such information in trust as a public record.



  Any programmer, program provider, program collective and/or independent

  production company whose program is syndicated or shared by more than

  one Pacifica station and who recieves outside funding from any source in

  excess of $5000 per year for the production of their program shall

  disclose to the Pacifica ED the source of that funding, the amounts of

  money received or promised and any contractual or grant agreements

  related to that funding for that current year. The ED shall hold that

  information in trust as a public record.



  In the case of a programmer whose outside funding is in excess of

  $25,000 for the current year, such disclosure should be for a period of

  not less than three years prior to the date of the passage of this

  motion by the Pacifica National Board, provided they have been a

  programmer or program provider for that period.



  Any waiver to this requirement must have the written consent of the GM

  of the respective station, and the ratification of that consent by the

  respective LSB, such as in the case of a purchased or syndicated program

  where compliance is not practical, or the written consent of the ED and

  the ratification of that consent by the PNB when appropriate in the case

  of a program aired on more than one Pacifica station.
