4. Committee Reports
A. Finance Committee:
Board Resolution, Approved Unanimously:
The Board approves the following check signers for all KBOO accounts: The Board President, the Board Treasurer, the Station Manager and a staff member recommended by the Station Manager. Currently, these will be Adin Rogovin, Michael Wells, and Kathleen Stephenson. This motion adds the new Station Managers, Monica Beemer and Mic Crenshaw.
Treasurer’s Report: Michael Wells
B. Governance Committee:
By-Law Amendment Referral, Approved 6-2-2:
Current Bylaw: ARTICLE VII: OFFICERS
Section 2. Election and Term of Office. The officers of this corporation shall be
elected annually by the Board of Directors at its first meeting after the annual meeting.
An officer may be reelected without limitation on the number of terms the officer may
serve.
Proposed Revision: ARTICLE VII: OFFICERS
Section 2. Election and Term of Office. The officers of this corporation shall be
elected annually by the Board of Directors at its first regular October meeting. An officer
may be reelected without limitation on the number of terms the officer may serve.
Rationale:
Because the first Board of Directors’ meeting after the election of new Board members
can–and has—occur before the new Board members are seated on October 1 (per KBOO
Bylaws, Article VI, Section 3), the board might be required by the current bylaw to
choose officers for the new year among the members of the “old” Board. Changing
Article VII, Section 2, to require election of officers on or after Oct. 1 allows the board to
more effectively choose officers that better reflect the Board’s current make-up.
C. Personnel Committee:
Personnel Committee recommends that position descriptions get updated (coordinated by station managers.)
5. Station Manager(s) Report
Board Members communicating to staff via email: Monica
Input from board members in email is management and not governance and also does not follow our agreement of board not going directly to staff with their input.
Sova report on new computers and other tech items.
Mic is working with Sun on the Membership position.
Timothy Welp went with work party to KBLU Pendleton.
6. Motion: Michael Wells: Approved by consensus: The KBOO Board of Directors, in order to support its goal of increasing KBOO membership and stabilizing funding, commits to the following three activities:
7. Shall the Station Manager(s) have a liaison person or committee to be their supervisorial interface with the Board as they have requested?
Yes. Approved 9-1-1.
Matthew Bristow, Michael Wells, Jen Davis
8. Closing Public Comments: Mariam Rhys appreciated Sova’s work and the direction that KBOO is going with computers/technology.
9. Meeting adjourned.

6. Motion: Michael Wells: Approved by consensus: The KBOO Board of Directors, in order to support its goal of increasing KBOO membership and stabilizing funding, commits to the following three activities:
1. Phone bank to call lapsed members after the drive.
2. Write personal letters to 10 personal friends, saying "I'm on the KBOO board and I urge you to become a member" in their own words, enclose reply envelopes.
3. Make a personal pledge of a meaningful amount to KBOO. What I tell people is I think someone on a nonprofit board should consider pledging 1% to 3% of their annual income -- not one check, but over a year.
