MOTION FROM NOVICK ON DEVELOPMENT (8:13)

Moved that the LSB create a special Development Committee, seeking
participation from volunteers with development expertise. The Committee shall
coordinate its efforts with station management. The Development Committee will
assist in designing and implementing a campaign for greater off-air fundraising
for the station, with the goal of reducing the number of days spent in on-air
fundraising by at least a week a year beginning in FY2015. This will include a
sustaining membership campaign, a major donor campaign, grant-writing efforts
for specific station activities, such as training, an investigation of
appropriate and remunerative community events, a crowd-funding strategy, and a
concerted effort to obtain bequests and the inclusion of KPFK in listeners'
wills. The committee will make recommendations on a capital campaign for
physical and technical improvements (for making the building physically
accessible, securing the parking lot and monetizing its use, upgrading and
restoring facilities, etc.). It will promote "directed giving" for specific
projects and productions (e.g, the news department, interns and training
program; donation cups for each individual show on the web-site or some variant
there-of; etc.) The Development Committee will also investigate and try to
adapt and recommend the adoption of the best practices of other Pacifica
stations in this regard.

Passed without objection.
