Public Input: none
Old Business:
a) Discussion on meeting venues: Malama Kauai facility is no longer available for meetings due to renovations.
There is some business to clear up with the Kapaa Neighborhood Center regarding past use complaints, Fred will look into it.
b) KF Board of Director's report by Marj Dente: Lyn McNutt is now in charge of membership and data collection (Memsys). Jack Alex is revising the Volunteer Handbook. Jerry is managing the programming at the station and is already off to a great start.
Next membership drives will be in March and July of this year.
A vote was taken and approved to get a line of credit with Bank of Hawaii to help defray expenses for staff wages and bills.
Every Board and CAB member is asked to participate in the Fund Fest on Sunday, February 8th, to be held at Kilohana. Baked goods needed.
There will be a conference for the National Federation of Community Broadcasters (NFCB) in Portland, Ore. from April 1 - 4, 2009. Marj, Jerry and Lyn will be attending.
KF Board Election was successful. First KF Board member elected by membership is Jimmy Trujillo. Steve Thatcher was appointed by the BOD.
Reported by Marj Dente, VP of the KF BOD.
c) Status of past CAB recommendations:
A previous recommendation asked the BOD to give priority to fill vacant positions to previous applicants. Fred asked if anyone in CAB interested?
(Nani sent in an application once, told her they would keep seat vacant until the election but would keep her app on file.) We are tasked to help look for KF Board candidates and consider a person to fill minority status in compliance with CPB grant.
Also a recommendation to the Board about policy and procedures on membership voting for 100% of the BOD.
Third recommendation was re: Public Affairs Dept. and Board action to instruct station manager to increase up to 20% or 5 hours per day.
Jerry responded that it would be no problem, he just needs workforce to do it.

a) Fund Fest at Kilohana February 8, 2009. Sign up to volunteer to kokua at tables, greeters, etc.
b) Copies of the Strategic Plan were passed around for our review. Fred to send us copies via e-mail later. Five-year plan that covers: Conflict Resolution, Community Outreach, Facilities, Finances, Member Services, Policy and decision making, Programming and Volunteers. The CAB members need to be involved and participate by choosing one of the above topics (seven groups)and carry it forward.
Important announcement: The Strategic Planning Committee Will be meeting on February 18th at 6 PM at the Kapa`a Neighborhood Center. All CAB members were asked to attend.
c) Seeking BOD candidates - Election '09.
Statistics showed the we got only 17% of membership voted last election. We are seeking candidates. Suggestions: check membership lists for names of potential candidates, BOD members do radio spots and talk about the Board and its functions, and for BOD members make themselves known in the community and recruit candidates in the process.
d) CAB Recommendations:
1) The CAB recommends that 100% of the KF BOD be elected by the membership. (Moved by Katy and seconded by Nani) Motion passed. All but one in favor (abstaining).
There was also a motion that the CAB be given the right to appoint a KF Board member. After much discussion, a motion was made by Katy and seconded by Nani. Motion denied with 6 voting against and 3 voting for.
2) The CAB recommends that the KF BOD recognize and support Jerry Brocklehurst to increase public affairs to 20% of air time. That comes out to 5 hours a day. Katy moved and Kimie seconded. Motion passed. All but one in favor (abstaining).
Station Manager Jerry Brockelhurst gave a report called The New Paradigm For Community Radio (attached below). He talked about broadcasting on Sunday from Ke Kula o Ni`ihau studio in Kekaha on the westside of the island and working on broadening our reach to other communites on the South side and eastside in Anahola, and upgrades to our transmitter.
CAB appointments for 2009 are coming up, next mtg. Steve thinks we should have member elections for CAB members to be more democratic. Jimmy suggests a CAB youth member, and the CAB doing a fund raiser. Kimie says to ask Joann Yukimura to be on BOD. Nani suggests using the membership list to seek candidates for the BOD and the CAB.
Our next meeting is set for April 29th, Wednesday, at the Kapaa Neighborhood Center, at 6:00 PM.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:51 PM.
Respectfully submitted, Puanani Rogers, Secretary

Aloha Everyone, Just a note to keep everybody updated on radio station happenings. I attended the Annual Mtg. of the Board of Directors (BOD) at Malama Kaua`i on Wed., Nov. 12, 2008. Also present from the Community Advisory Board (CAB) were Mickey, Arnold and Jimmy T and Mary. Good CAB representation. I gave the CAB report, which included the 3 recommendations from our Sept. 25 mtg. Following are some notes from my presentation, from the mtg. in general, and from other happenings. Mahalo Nui, fred
1. After many years of not including the CAB report and Public Input in the regular BOD agenda items, those 2 sections are now part of the agenda, thanks to Chairperson John Gordon. CAB minutes from our 9/25/08 mtg. are attached for additions/corrections. Please send any input to me ASAP. Mahalo to Mary for taking and transcribing the minutes.
Our next CAB mtg. is yet to be announced for sometime in Jan, 2009, as we are waiting for the Strategic Plan team and the BOD to schedule their meetings first. I have made a decision that the Public Input section of the CAB meetings will be at the top of the agenda, right after Pule and Roll Call. That is the essence of our kuleana and we want to make sure that we focus on the community concerns. We will reserve the last hour of our meetings for housekeeping agenda items and our recommendations to the BOD. If anyone disagrees with my decision, please let's discuss it ASAP.
2. THE KEKAHU FOUNDATION/KKCR membership successfully held its first ever membership election of a board member, and elected JimmyTrujillo to the Board of Directors for a 3 year term. Jimmy is a Community Advisory Board member, a programmer, a teacher, a musician, a Husband, a Father and an all around great guy! Congratulations Jimmy! After a 15 year adolescence, the Kauai community, which KKCR serves as stated in its mission statement, has made it clear that the KF BOD must be democratically elected. Some of us have been working for many years to see the process of restoring democracy to the membership begin to happen. We're very proud to have you represent the membership vote. Thanks for your commitment Jimmy!
Underwriter, programmer and former CAB president Steve Thatcher was selected by the BOD to continue in his own seat for a 3 year term. He's another all around great person and community activist. Mahalo Steve! The third person on the ballot pulled her name out of the process. The remaining 2 vacancies will be deferred until the next BOD meeting, yet to be announced. Next year the membership will get to vote for a second BOD member.
A tremendous amount of work and meetings and volunteer hours went into making this first election happen. Next year should require much less work, and we will have an entire year to search for more qualified community members to volunteer for this most important job, as well as to encourage even more participation. And, our new station manager Jerry Brocklehurst now has a somewhat democratically elected community radio station board to represent in grant applications as well as fund and endowment raising!!
Gratitude for everyone's attitude to make it happen, especially the Governance and Election committees. Open the attachment to see the detailed Election Report, put together by board Chair John Gordon.
3. After many hours of Strategic Planning Team meetings, Roxanne is putting together a draft presentation of all the good work that was done, for a public meeting. If there is any more input for the plan, that will be the time for it. For those of us attending, it was a truly amazing overall process of discovering all of our possibilities and concerns and future plans in a form we can use to become more efficient, more just, more relevant, and hopefully more financially grounded. It was also a great opportunity for old wounds and differences to be given attention, and for healing and togetherness to happen. I wish we could have had a process like this in the beginning, we might have avoided a lot of unnecessary turmoil and wasted time. Looking ahead, it has been a great part of our growth process for the 5 year future and beyond.
4. Our new Station Mgr. Jerry Brocklehurst. reported that the KeKula School of Kekaha will broadcast a radio magazine program starting sometime in Dec., in both Hawaiian and English language. The school has a great new recording facility and our signal will reach to Ni`ihau. Thanks for making it happen, Jerry.
Mahelani Sylva, CAB member and program host of Na Leo Hawaiian Issues, is a very dedicated community activist. She has recently made a proposal to the Boys and Girls Club of Kaua`i to help mentor island youth by using her program as a training ground. In her proposal, she said: "...it has been one of my goals to provide an opportunity for our local youth to be more involved with KKCR, Kaua`i Community Radio. As a media source, radio can provide an opportunity for our youth to develop an understanding of themselves in relationship to the world around them...To facilitate this project, I would like to offer one of my shows a month as well my services as a remote technician until the staff members and youth of the Boys & Girls Club of Kauai in conjunction with the YWCA have gained sufficient knowledge and experience as well as designated airtime to have a program of your own... Thank you Mahe for your dedication. We hope this proposal becomes a reality. I know that Butch and the Kekahu Family would be very happy about these great initiatives in outreach and diversity and support of the Hawaiian and local culture.
5. The membership/fund drive has ended, falling short of meeting the original goal of $75,000. The revised goal of $60,000 was surpassed by $60. New memberships were over 130. We're going to lose a lot of CPB grant funding for the coming year. The Strategic Plan team is addressing these serious financial issues, and now we'll be able to focus and work toward alternative funding solutions. Jerry has already been researching other grant opportunities. One thing is for sure, we will all be tightening our belts and getting more creative to help become more sustainable.
6. As you know, there will be a thank you party for Gwen at Malama Kaua`i on Saturday, Nov. 22, 2008 from 5-8pm. Please call Marj at 823-8162 to volunteer to help if you can, and please come to the party. Dress up in your party clothes, It will be a fun time and a good way for the community to thank Gwen for keeping it all together.
See you at the party, fred

election report
Election Committee Report to Kekahu Foundation Board of Directors
November 12, 2008
Background
On November 14, 2007 the Kekahu Foundation Board of Directors adopted a proposal to implement, subject to the resolution of several matters, a trial program under which a portion of the Kekahu Foundation Board would be elected by the members of the Kekahu Foundation.
On January 16, 2008, the Board approved moving forward with the trial program. It agreed to seat the candidate who receives the highest vote in a 2008 election process, subject to the condition that at least 15% of the members of the Kekahu Foundation participated in the election. The Board also established an Election Committee, comprising at least three Directors and at least one other person, to implement the trial program.
Update
The first election process was successfully conducted this summer and fall.
• Six candidates submitted the required applications by the September 5 deadline. Of these, three applicants withdrew prior to the start of the election period (early October). One applicant withdrew because he was selected to become the new KKCR station manager, and two applicants withdrew because of other commitments or lack of interest.
• The three candidates on the final ballot were Connie Fairbanks, Steve Thatcher and Jimmy Trujillo.
• 1,071 ballots were sent to members.
• 178 valid ballots were returned by the November 4 deadline (2 additional ballots were deemed invalid because they were received after the deadline). The number of returned ballots equals 17% of the ballots sent to members.
• Ballots were counted on November 5 at the offices of, and with the oversight of, the Kauai Planning and Action Alliance. The greatest number of votes was received by Jimmy Trujillo.
The Election Committee plans to analyze the returned ballots to determine the returns by individual Kauai communities, the other Hawaiian islands, California, and the rest of the mainland. To help in the scheduling of public service announcements for the 2009 election, the Election Committee also plans to analyze the returns to determine when (during the one-month election period) voters mailed in their ballots.
The January 10, 2008 cost estimate for conducting the 2008 election was $455. The actual cost was $453.
Next Steps
1. There are currently 4 vacancies on the Board (3 full-term vacancies and the partial-term vacancy created by Rita Peeters’ resignation earlier this year).
(a) Member participation in the election exceeded the required 15%. Therefore, the Election Committee recommends that the Board seat, for a three-year term, Jimmy Trujillo, the candidate who received the greatest number of votes.
(b) Pursuant to the rules of the agreed-upon election process, the remaining Board vacancies should be filled from the list of the remaining candidates who participated in the election process. At this time there is only one such candidate (Steve Thatcher), as the other candidate (Connie Fairbanks) has withdrawn due to personal commitments. Therefore, the Election Committee recommends that the Board consider seating Steve Thatcher for a three-year term.
(c) Two Board vacancies (for a three-year term and for a one-year term) will still remain after (a) and (b) above. The Election Committee notes that the Board can fill these vacancies at such time, and using such process, that the Board feels is appropriate.
2. The Election Committee requests that the Board include in the 2008-2009 budget $500 to conduct the 2009 election.
3. Pursuant to the January 16, 2008 Board resolution, the Board must establish, at some time prior to the start of the 2009 election process, the member participation criterion that will be used for the 2009 election. After the 2009 election, the Board must decide whether to make the election process permanent and/or how to modify the process. The evaluation criteria proposed by the Governance/Election Committee earlier this year are:
• Member interest (percent of qualified voters who cast ballots)
• Impact of the elections on increased participation, membership or funding
• “Quality” of the election process (number, qualifications and capabilities of candidates, and the focus of the campaign process on issues of true relevance to the selection of directors)
• Impacts (positive and negative) of having elected Directors on the Board
• Resources required to support the election process.

The Kekahu Foundation/KKCR Community Radio Strategic Plan
Aloha Kakou,
If you care about our Kaua`i community radio station, now is the time
to come forward and participate. Roxanne MacDougall, our 5 year
strategic plan facilitator is great at directing this process, but we
need much more community support to represent as many people as
possible to find a positive and broad consensus for our future plan.
I believe that we really can't complain about KF/KKCR or easily affect
change in the future if we don't take the time to participate in these
long range planning sessions. The time is now to implement positive
change, if we want it. Roxanne is very qualified, objective and
dedicated, and she is putting in way more time than she is being paid
for because she wants us to have a positive outcome. I know that
people's schedules are packed with meetings, volunteer activities and
just the business of making a living and enjoying life. But, the
global and local situations are at a crucial point right now, and the
state of the world demands that we give superhuman effort to dealing
with our issues and institutions. Please do the best you can to
participate.
As if that isn't enough happening, the deadline for Board of Director
candidates has been moved back to Sept. 5th. Elections will be in
November, date to be announced. We need more ethnically diverse board
members. We need any qualified board members, people who want to be a kahu (caretaker) for our precious community asset. There are 4
openings, and we will have our first ever membership election for one
of those positions. Please consider
becoming a board member and/or asking someone to do it, ASAP.
You'll need 3 present board members or 15 subscribing members to sign
for you to get on the ballot. Please contact Marj Dente at
823-8162 (early evenings), and she'll help you get prepared.
She'll try to extend the deadline, if needed.
In addition, many candidates for a new station manager are being
interviewed. A lot of stuff is happening concurrently. Soon we can
take a deep breath, I hope. Below is the schedule and description of
these important strategic plan meetings. Please find the time to
participate. Mahalo Nui, Fred Dente, Chairperson, Kekahu Foundation
