Motion re: PNB (BET)

Whereas, Pacifica's National Office is teetering on the brink of insolvency AND,

Whereas, $400,000 of KPFA's savings have already been encumbered by a Line of Credit taken out by the Pacifica National Office, AND

Whereas, KPFA is the only one of the three large Pacifica stations (KPFA, KPFK, and WBAI) that is making timely central service payments, AND

Whereas, Pacifica's financial instability is currently the greatest threat to KPFA's wellbeing, AND

Whereas, at its most recent meeting, the Pacifica National Board approved NO motions addressing the Pacifica National Office's inability to pay bills in January, BE IT RESOLVED

That the KPFA Local Station Board calls on the Pacifica National Board (PNB) to make addressing Pacifica's cash shortfall and structural deficits its highest priority, AND

That the KPFA Local Station Board calls on the PNB to do everything it can to trim its own expenses, including the cost of in-person meetings; AND

That the KPFA Local Station Board calls on the PNB to refrain from creating new and unbudgeted spending obligations for Pacifica by board resolution, AND

That the KPFA Local Station Board opposes any diversion of KPFA's cash reserves to pay national expenses as an act of bad faith with the thousands of listeners who contribute their money specifically to support KPFA.
