Reason for Executive Session
Legal, contractual and personnel matters. Meeting called by Grace Aaron, Lawrence Reyes and Polina Vasiliev.
Pacifica National Board Emergency Meeting Thursday, April 30, 2020
8:30 PM ET
Reason for Emergency
To discuss financial matters, matters relating to the Coronavirus task force, Bylaws Amendments, motion to rescind the Bylaws schedule passed on Apr. 23, 2020, motion to consider an Articles of Incorporation Amendment process, postponed motion (below), Committee Reports and iED Report. Meeting called by Grace Aaron, Lawrence Reyes, Jan Goodman and Polina Vasiliev. Postponed MOTION on Accurate Recording of Interdivisional Income and Expenses - The Management Team (Alex Steinberg, Chair, Dewayne Lark, Vice Chair, Grace Aaron, Secretary, Lydia Brazon, iED)
All assets, including real estate assets, are owned by the Pacifica Foundation and can only be sold or encumbered at the direction of the Pacifica National Board. The income derived from the sale or encumbrance of any asset, including real estate assets, is recorded as National Office income. Stations running their operations out of Pacifica Foundation real estate assets are responsible for maintenance and local property tax costs for the property they are occupying, just as stations that are running their operations out of rented facilities are responsible for the payment of the rent.
The National Board negotiated and completed a settlement with the Empire State Realty Trust. The National Board needed to raise money to fulfill this settlement and did so by approving the sale of the National Office building at 1921-1925 Martin Luther King, Jr. Way, Berkeley, CA and by taking out a loan collateralized by the 3 other Pacifica Foundation owned properties in Los Angeles, Berkeley and Houston.
It was and is the clear intent of the Pacifica National Board to have the National Office assume all liability associated with the settlement with the Empire State Realty Trust including all related expenses, loan interest, fees and principal payments.
The Pacifica National Board charges the National Finance Committee to present a plan to apportion an equitable payment schedule for loan interest payments to all Pacifica radio station units. This plan will then be reviewed by the PNB and either approved, revised or sent back to the NFC.
The PNB directs NETA to enter all proceeds from the sale of 1921-1925 MLK Way in 2018 as income to the National Office in a gain/loss from sale of asset account.
Further, the PNB directs NETA to remove any and all expenses related to the ESRT settlement and any supporter loan or $3.2 million loan expenses related to the settlement from WBAI's books in 2018, 2019 and moving forward. It is noteworthy that the $3.2 million loan and ESRT settlement reset the allocation of transactions and assets for accounting purposes.
