Reyes moved to table. Motion tabled WO.


Novick Motion (9:07)

The LSB shall constitute and populate a new Program Director Search Committee
(PDSC) in compliance with the PD Search process outlined by the Pacifica
National Board, and launch a renewed search for a permanent KPFK Program
Director; further resolved that in accordance with past practice and current
policy, the PDSC shall conduct non-personnel, non-confidential parts of its
process (such as the criteria to be used in evaluating candidates or about
where and how to advertise the opening) with transparency and public input,
consistent with the Program Director job description.

Passed without objection.

Novick moved (in absentia): Whereas the Pacifica National Board has mandated
that each of the stations create a Program Council to evaluate continuing and
new programs in consultation with and advisory to the Program Director,
resolved that the LSB carry out that mandate by participating in the
establishment of a 12-member KPFK Program Council, composed per PNB mandate of
1/3 staff elected by staff, 1/3 LSB members elected by the LSB and 1/3
listeners selected by agreement of the PD (in our case, iPD) and the LSB;
further resolved that the LSB elect 4 of its members to begin to populate the
Program Council as mandated, and to initiate a process of discussion with the
(i)PD about how to select listener-members in a manner mutually-agreeable to
the LSB and (i)PD.

WPFW Motion (9:53)

Medina discussed a motion she intended to bring to the floor regarding the WPFW
PNB Directors nomination deadline. Discussion followed.
