Board Meeting Agenda: April 13th, 2022
Vision: Redwood Community Radio envisions a community of listeners who, guided by the
example of RCR programming, work together to create better, more just and sustainable world
systems to ensure that all humans and other living species on earth move toward a higher quality
of life and are able to survive challenges in the time ahead.
Mission Statement: Redwood Community Radio will encourage a communication center of
open airways (KMUD) for all voices to inform, educate, entertain and inspire the listening
community through quality programming.
Ground Rules: Speak respectfully to one another. Focus on issues, not personalities. Support
the facilitator. No interrupting. Make criticism constructive, specific, substantiated and, ideally,
when the person(s) are present. When required, a five-minute break shall be granted to
attendees to encourage peaceful communication. Speakers during Open Time will be assigned
an amount of time not to exceed five minutes. Any further discussions during the meeting will be
between Board Members unless a guest is acknowledged by the Facilitator or is scheduled as
part of the agenda.

Closed sessions are held to assure confidentiality when discussing certain legal, financial,

binder. The Board may also meet in closed session when sitting as a tribunal in handling
matters referred to it by the Grievance Panel. The public agenda for a Board meeting
shall state which of these types of issues will be addressed. A closed session also may be
scheduled at any time during a Board meeting, should the need arise.
Proposed agenda, April 13, 2022 meeting

The Board may exclude the Station Manager from a closed session when its discussions
involve her or him, usually in the case of personnel issues.
The policy stated in this section applies also to meetings of Board committees and to the
Community Advisory Board.
The agenda for a closed session shall be created by the Executive Committee, and the
Vice President (or any officer delegated by the Committee) shall speak to all other Board
members in advance of announced at the opening of the a closed session to inform them
of the agenda. The Executive Committee may invite a guest or guests to a closed session
in order to benefit the organization.
The following protocol shall be used during each closed session:
1) Read agenda.
2) Read these ground rules:
All discussion must relate to the agenda item(s) and will be held in
confidence, except any portions the Board specifically decides to make
public.
Confidentiality does not mean that Board members may not, outside of
the closed session, discuss what was said with each other or with others
who were present.
Remarks not germane to the agenda item shall be ruled as such by the
presiding officer. These are not subject to confidentiality restrictions, but
Board members are reminded to serve the organization’s best interest.
Any collective record made during this session shall be given to the
President for safekeeping. The Secretary will be told where such
materials are filed.
After deliberations, the Board shall decide and the Secretary shall record what is
appropriate to share publicly, including language for the minutes of the meeting. Any
documents provided to the Board and used in its closed-session deliberations shall be
maintained in the station manager’s office. How each Board member voted will not be
shared unless the Board decides to share that information. The Board will also make
plans for any needed follow-up actions or communications.
