Minutes of KXNM BOARD OF DIRECTOR’S MEETING -- Wednesday May 17, 2017
                                 
PRESENT:  Art Swenka, Bill Simms, John Griego, Ladd Hagmaier, Barbara Kinney, Dixie Swenka, Randy Wright
 
Guest:  Peggy Schwebach, Chair of the Community Advisory Committee
 
Not Present: Rhoda Geduld, Pat Lincoln, Jo Onarheim, Norm Onarheim, Matt Page, Blake Williams
 
Art Swenka called the meeting to order at 2:00 PM
 
The Pledge of Allegiance was said by all present.
 
Quorum was met with seven directors present.
 
AGENDA: Ladd Hagmaier made a motion to accept the agenda as presented and Dixie Swenka seconded.   Approved: all.
 
MINUTES: Dixie Swenka made a motion to accept the minutes from the April 17, 2017 meeting as submitted and Ladd Hagmaier seconded the motion.   Approved: all.
 
NEW BUSINESS:  
A.  
Randy Wright reported on the 2018 Community Service Grant application.  It was completed on time and was received by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting on May 8th, ahead of the May 12th deadline.  Several station employees and volunteers met on April 22nd with Ernie Sanchez, Esq, Station Attorney and Sean Simplicio, CPB consultant to discuss the application process and strategies.             Sean and Ernie provided valuable insights and guidance on personnel, financial and in-kind donation eligibility criteria.  Their review           and comments strongly indicate that the station meets all requirements for a Level B grant, and also qualifies as a minority and rural station.  Minority and rural station receive special consideration during the grant review process and a more grant funds than non-minority and non-rural stations.  The station is in full compliance with all CPB requirements, and should expect a decision on the grant in late July or early August.

B.  Randy Wright reported on 2015-2016 Financial Summary Report (FSR) submitted to the CPB, which included the value of donated buildings, land and professional services.  The Non-Federally Funded Sources calculation exceeded $300,000 and met the requirement for a CPB Level B grant.

​C.  Dixie Swenka and Randy Wright reported on the audit of the station’s FY 15 financial statements and FSR conducted by Ron Wright, CPA.  The audit confirmed and certified that the financial statements submitted to the CPB were complete, accurate and that no discrepancies were found.
​ 
TREASURER’S REPORT:  John Griego provided and explained revised financial statements for FY 15, which included the amortized value of donated buildings and donated professional services.   John also provided a detailed P&L Statement and Balance Sheet through May 17, 2017, for the current fiscal year and a comparison of financial statements from the same time last year.  
 
The Board delayed approving these documents, until the results of a meeting on accounting methods with Joyce McKinnis, Bookkeeper, John Griego, Treasurer and Ron Wright, CPA are reported to the Board.   Their meeting is scheduled for next week.
 
PROGRAMMING REPORT:  Bill Simms reported that the commodity and market reports from the FFA Chapters at the Corona, Estancia, Mountainair and Moriarty High Schools would continue during the summer break.   Dixie Boyle will air a new show on Archaeology in Your Backyard that details the history of Torrance County circa 1905.
 
VICE PRESIDENT’S REPORT:  Bill Simms described the need to back-up the PC in the control room and will provide details and available back-up options at the next board meeting on June 21st.   Bill Simms also identified a problem with the un-interrupted power source (UPS) serving the McIntosh Studio control panel, which recently was down because of a power outage.  Bill said that a higher quality UPS would be installed next week and that it would resolve this issue. 
 
PRESIDENT’S REPORT:  Art Swenka demonstrated the new smart phone application that monitors temperature in the transmitter building and lead a discussion on the opportunity to lease a newly available translator on Sandia Peak.  This translator would open the greater Albuquerque market to the station, but with some drawbacks including the $3,000/month rental cost, lack of staff to serve this market and a significant change in the station’s mission to the otherwise underserved Estancia Valley/East Mountains communities.
 
John Griego motioned that the Board should not pursue the opportunity to lease a new translator at this time, Ladd Hagmaier seconded the motion and it was unanimously approved.
 
OLD BUSINESS:  Peggy Schwebach, Chair of the Community Advisory (CAC) Committee reported on the Community Advisory Committee meeting held on May 17th.  The CAC meeting focused on reorganization; the structure of the committee; using the station’s website to identify and add new members and a website survey to help review programming. 
 
The CAC reviewed the online program schedule and recommended that it be updated to match the printed schedule.  The Board discussed options to automate the program schedule and Randy Wright agreed to research web-based automated program schedules used at other stations and report the results at the next Board Meeting.
 
Peggy also presented a report on the School Zone show and asked the Board for feedback, who universally supported the show, particularly segments featuring students, athletics, and school happenings.  Art Swenka made a recommendation to increase interest in the show by airing short segments from School Zone throughout the day.  Everyone agreed this was a good idea.
 
The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday June 21, 2017 at 2 pm at the KXNM Offices and Studios in McIntosh.

Bill Simms motioned to adjourn the meeting at 4:10 PM
