Northern Community Radio
Meetings:
Northern Community Radio, Inc. holds
licenses for public radio station 91.7 KAXE
in Grand Rapids Minnesota, and 90.5 KBXE in
Bagley Minnesota. Northern Community Radio
complies with Section 396 (k) (4) of the
Communications Act by providing notice to
the public before holding public meetings of
the Board of Directors, Board committees,
meetings of the members, and the Community
Advisory Board. Notice of these public
meetings is posted on the website of KAXE
(www.kaxe.org) not less than one week in
advance of all meetings.
In addition, all such meetings, including
the availability of online information and
that meetings are open to the public, are
announced on the air a minimum of 1 time per
day (and normally 3 times per day) for one
week prior to the meetings. This exceeds the
CPB requirement that this information is
conveyed on 3 consecutive days quarterly. In
addition, meeting notice is specifically
sent to individuals who have requested
individual notice.
Subject to reasonable limitations (such as
size of available meeting space), all
members of the public are permitted to
attend any of the meetings above without
condition such as registration or providing
any personal information.
All or portions of any board or committee
meeting may be "CLOSED" to the public in the
event matters relating to individual
employees, proprietary information,
litigation or other matters which are
confidential upon advice of counsel or
financial information obtained on a
confidential basis, or other matters deemed
by the board to be inappropriate for public
disclosure. If a meeting is closed, an
explanation will be disseminated in the same
way that an open meeting is posted,
following the meeting.
To provide opportunity for public
involvement, an audio report of every Board
of Directors meeting is broadcast twice
during morning drive time within one week
after a meeting and again before the next
scheduled meeting.
Financial:
Northern Community Radio includes the
following in the CPB folder of its public
file:
Annual Financial Report (AFR)
Annual Audit.
Community Advisory Board:
Northern Community Radio will hold at least
one Community Advisory Board each year for
KAXE and another one for KBXE, at different
locations in the listening area.
Community Advisory Board membership and
minutes of the meeting will be kept in the
CPB folder in the public file.
The Community Advisory Board has a distinct
membership from the organization’s governing
Board of Directors.
A majority of the Board of Directors must be
present at each CAB meeting, to receive
input.
Members of the CAB represent a diverse
cross-section of the community under each
station’s signal.
Minutes of the meeting indicate that the CAB
is performing its primary functions under
the CPB rule:
1. establish and follow its own schedule and
agenda, within the scope of the community
advisory board's statutory or delegated
authority;
2. review the programming goals established
by station;
3. review the community service provided by
the stations;
4. review the impact on the community of the
significant policy decisions rendered by the
station; and
5. advise the governing board of the station
whether the programming and other
significant policies of the station are
meeting the specialized educational and
cultural needs of the communities served by
the station. The advisory board may make
recommendations to the governing board to
meet those specialized needs.
EEO:
The FCC EEO Public File Report complies with
the FCC's EEO rule and is posted on the
website, with a copy placed in the Public
Inspection File of the station. It is the
policy of Northern Community Radio to comply
with all FCC and CPB EEO requirements.
Donor Lists and Political Activities
1. Northern Community Radio will comply with
all current laws and regulations of the
Internal Revenue Service, and with all other
applicable Federal law or regulations
governing political activity and lobbying
2. Northern Community Radio will not sell,
rent, lease, loan, trade, give, donate,
transfer or exchange its membership or donor

3. Northern Community Radio maintains active
control of its contributor and donor lists,
and takes all appropriate measures to ensure
against unauthorized use of such lists. The
bylaws of the organization do not allow any
use of its membership and contributor/donor
lists by any outside parties.
4. The organization periodically reminds
contributors/members/donors that its lists
are never used outside of the organization. |
