Minutes of the April 11, 2019 Planning Committee meeting
Meeting called to order by Co-chair David Hulse-Stephens
In attendance: committee members Stuart Campbell, Jerry Karp, Ed Keller, David Hulse-Stephens, and guests Da Grand Pooba, and Kathy Rippey
Approval of the agenda
Discussion items:
30thAnniversary celebration
Pooba updated us on the planning for the event. He has secured the Real Sarahs, Roy Rogers and the Delta Kings, and the Tony Saunders band. He has also lined up a hip hop band headed up by Ernesto (I’ve forgotten the name of the band). He has secured the Little Lake Grange as the venue. Some deposits are due for the bands and for the Grange.
Pooba has also talked with Nuestra Allianza to possibly provide the childcare during the event. Food service, security, lights and sound are lined up.
He has also been in contact with Flow Canna about sponsoring an event. Research needs to be done on KZYX’s ability to receive a donation from a cannabis-related organization (Federal regulations).
Actions needed:
Talk with Trading Time—Jerry
More contact with Alma Latina—Jerry
Contact Tom and Steve about $600 deposit for the Grange—David
Pursue the question how we can give bands credit for in-kind donation
Discuss Flow Canna donation/support at next board meeting
Jerry Karp brought up the Jazz night at the Sequoia Room and that it was to be promoted as part of the 30thAnniversary year.
Action needed:
Coordination of 30thanniversary events through the year.
Guest Kathy Rippey
Kathy offered to research grant possibilities for the station, and she asked what specific projects the station might need grant money for. The committee came up with this list:
Capital campaign
Local news expansion
A Native American special series
Mutual programs with the college
Equipment
Grants to pay for staffing
Support for improving our efforts related to emergency services
She said that she would like to be compensated for her time. We told her we were open to it and would want to discuss it further.
Strategic planning
David announced that we did not receive the grant for strategic planning. Our intention is to take the work that Len Tischler has done and continue it from there as an in-house project.
Next meeting: May 1, 3:30 p.m. at CASA
