4. CFO Report
The CFO summarized and expanded upon a written report sent via email in advance
of the meeting.

4a. Income & Expenses, YTD Actual vs. Budget - All Units
Budgets must be updated to reflect loss of CPB funding and realistic projection
of anticipated expenses for legal, ADA compliance, and transmitter conversions.
If there is no revenue growth, a budget shortfall in the neighborhood of
$850,000 can be anticipated for FY'08 with the cash flow situation at WBAI
reaching critical in April. WPFW must relocate by November and fifteen
possible buildings have been identified by the city. Multiple strategies for
financing a relocation of WBAI studios are being explored. Staffing costs are
higher than we can afford and a structural reorganization is needed.

4a(i). Fund Drive Lengths
KPFK, KPFT, and WBAI needed 3-week fund drives to meet or get near goals.
KPFA's drive was 2-1/2 weeks. WPFW's drive was two weeks.

4b. WBAI Recovery Plan
Discussion of the WBAI recovery plan began at 6:52 pm.

Motion from Baruti Bediako that the Finance Committee establish a workgroup to
develop language for an RFP for an operational audit of WBAI.
Motion passed without objection.

Lonnie Hicks, Baruti Bediako, and LaVarn Williams were appointed without
objection to the workgroup, and a meeting via teleconference was scheduled for
11:00 am PST on Tuesday, December 4, 2007.

4b(i) WBAI/National Development Director
Consideration of this item was postponed indefinitely without objection on the
motion of LaVarn Williams at 7:54 pm. LaVarn Williams and Lonnie Hicks will
review the feasibility of this proposal in a meeting with the new Executive
Director early next month.

4c. WBAI Recovery Monitoring
This item was discussed during the CFO report. The planned 5% reduction in
salary expenses has not occurred. Negative reaction is on the agenda for a PNB
meeting tomorrow.

4d. PNB Motions
Discussion of finance-related motions approved by the PNB and motions referred
to the Finance Committee by the PNB was incorporated into the CFO report. As
indicated in 4b(i) above, action on some items is being held in abeyance
pending review and input from the new Executive Director.

5. Financial Policies & Procedures Manual
This item was considered during the CFO report.
Motion from Lonnie Hicks that the Finance Committee approves the draft Policies
and Procedures Manual and supports Audit Committee referral to the Board.
Motion postponed without objection on the motion of Brian Edwards-Tiekert at
6:21 pm.
Lonnie Hicks will re-send the final draft to members of the Committee.
