MINUTES of the ANNUAL MEETING 
KXNM BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Wednesday – July 18, 2018
 
Present:  Art Swenka, Dixie Swenka, John Griego, Barbara Kinney, Bill Simms, Randy Wright
 
Not Present:  Ladd Hagmaier, Jo Onarheim, Norm Onarheim
 
Art Swenkacalled the meeting to order at 2:00 p.m.
 
The Pledge of Allegiance was said by all present.
 
A quorum was met with 6 of 9 directors present.
 
AGENDA: Barbara Kinneymotioned to approve the agenda as submitted.  Bill Simmsseconded, and all directors approved it. 
 
MINUTES:Barbara Kinneymotioned to accept the minutes from the June 20th meeting. John Griegoseconded the motion, and all directors approved it.
 
NEW BUSINESS:
  1. Jo Onarheim’sresignation from the Board of Directors– Art Swenka received a resignation letter from Jo Onarheimeffective June 11, 2018.  The Board discussed Jo’s impact on the station’s growth and development, and regretfully voted to accept her resignation.  In her letter, Jo wants to stay involved with the station, so the board discussed ways that Jo could stay involved and it was suggested that she be elected Director Emeritus.       
 
          Randy Wrightmotioned that Jo Onarheim be elected Director         
     Emeritus. It was seconded by Dixie Swenka and unanimously  
     approved by a vote of all directors.  After more discussion about the 
          role and purpose of Director Emeritus, Dixie Swenkamotioned that   
          Rhoda Geduldbe nominated and elected Director emeritus.  It was         
  seconded by Barbara Kinneyand unanimously approved by directors.

  1. Change in the bylaws– The Board discussed a proposed change 
in the date of Annual Meeting of the Board from June to the first quarter of the year. 
         
          This change was needed to re-align the annual meeting date with 
          the beginning of the fiscal year, which now starts in January.  The 
June annual meeting date aligned with the old fiscal year that started on July 1st.   This made sense, when the station’s fiscal year ended in June.  During the annual meeting a summation of the board’s activity during the FY are reported and doing this in June does not make sense.  
 
The Board discussed realigning the election of board members and officers to terms that align with the new annual meeting date.  John Griegomotioned to change the date of the Board’s Annual Meeting from June to the first quarter and amend the bylaws accordingly.  Dixie Swenkaseconded and it was approved by all six directors present, and met the two-thirds vote of directors required to change the bylaws.
 
c.     Election of Board Members and Officers (Secretary, Treasurer and Vice President)- Art Swenka motionedto re-elect all current Board Members to a new term expiring on January 31, 2020. Barbara Kinneyseconded and it was approved by all directors.
     
          Dixie Swenkamotioned that the Randy Wrightbe re-elected  
          Secretary with a term expiring on January 31, 2019, that John
          Griegobe re-elected Treasurer, and Bill Simms be re-elected Vice 
          President withboth terms expiring on January 31, 2020.  John  
          Griego seconded, and all directors approved it.
 
         Following discussion by the Board to recruit new Board Members,
         Dixie Swenkanominated KeithSmith, Pastor at Estancia United 
         Methodist Church to be a Director.   Randy Wrightseconded and 
         directors unanimously approved his appointment as a director.  
 
 
 
         Bill Simms had already vetted Keith, who had agreed to serve as a    
         director if elected.
 
TREASURER’S REPORT:  John Griego provided a detailed Monthly and Year-To-Date Income Statements and Balance Sheet through June 
2018.   John and Art met with Joyce McKinnis in June to create a new Monthly Income Statement that provided comparisons with the same time frame from the last year.  The Board liked this change and commented on its value in providing a clearer understanding of the station’s financial position.
 
Overall, the station’s financial position is positive and is expected to improve throughout the year with new underwriters increasing revenue and through operational cost savings.   Randy Wrightmotioned to accept the Treasurer’s Report as submitted.  It was seconded by Barbara Kinneyand approved by all directors.
 
COMMITTEE REPORTS:  No Committee Reports were made.
 
VICE PRESIDENT’S REPORT:  Bill Simmsreported on programming including re-broadcasting the Firearms Safetyprogram.  Six of the 54 shows have been re-broadcast with MAGs agreeing to underwrite the show.  Another program, Explore the Back 40is also scheduled for re-broadcast in the future.  Bill said, there are five new Archaelogy in Your Backyardshows ready for broadcasting and that FFA reports were on schedule. 
 
Bill also reported on testing the Mac automation software, RadioLogik, and compared it to Simian.   More tests and evaluation are needed, but RadioLogik seems to be a good replacement for Simian, and solves many of the problems created by Simian.
 
PRESIDENT’S REPORT:  Art Swenka discussed recruiting three new underwriters: The City of Moriarty for government announcements and legal notices, which is expected to generate $4,500 in annual revenue,
Wallen Associates, a law firm and Spence, another law firm.   Valet Cleaners in Four Hills is a pending as a new underwriter.
 
 
         OLD BUSINESS:  
  1. Update on the tower repairs– Art Swenka reported that the 
tower repairs will be completed soon.   Four new jumper cables were ordered and will be installed on the tower within the next few  
           weeks.
          
  1.  Update on a McCune Charitable Foundation Grants– Randy Wrightprovided a written report of the mission and requirements for a McCune grant.  The foundation’s mission is to foster economic development in New Mexico and provide grants to organizations that strengthen families and to those that create economic stability.   KXNM does seem to fit into any of the 13 principles required to receive a grant from McCune.
 
  1. Changes to the Income Statement– John Griego described changes to the Income Statement in the Treasurer’s Report.
 
The next Board of Directors Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, August 15, 2018 at 2 p.m. at the KXNM Offices and Studios in McIntosh.
