‘Pacifica is at the ultimate crossroads.’
Julianne Mossler, Deputy Attorney General, Charitable Trusts Section, California Attorney General’s Office, laid out for Pacifica National Board Members in the clearest possible terms their legal responsibilities as board members – as well as a stark warning that ‘Pacifica is at the ultimate crossroads.’
‘You must make a decision. Refusing to do so is an abdication of the responsibilities you accepted when you took a seat on the national board and creates a very real risk that Pacifica and its mission will burn to ashes around you.’
The Pacifica National Board then proceeded to ignore every word, every warning, every admonition, spending the remaining two hours of the meeting in its customary infernal struggles, pointless observations, random rants and outbursts, querulous obstructive behaviors, all to no end other than…
Rejecting the motion of the Interim Executive Director and the Chief Financial Officer to prepare for the possible necessity of filing for Ch 11 Bankruptcy in order to forestall seizures of assets and closure, preferring instead to table the matter for further study at some indefinite point in time.
Little point in preparing for such possibilities, or heeding legal requirements, this is, after all, Pacifica.
At least for a while

The CA AG's admonition to the PNB Thursday evening, December 14, 2017.
Penultimate Processes
‘This is probably the most important thing we need to do in this meeting. We cannot wait any longer. We’re facing imminent seizure of assets… if we don’t do something quickly…
‘They could clean out our assets and shut down our operations.’
Clear warnings from the California Deputy Attorney General, the Interim Executive Director, the Chief Financial Officer, and Pacifica’s legal counsel notwithstanding, a motion to postpone, pending further discussion, is presented, and after the customary internecine strife, is passed, and no action taken.

I'm sure that when they went to closed session they finally got down to business.....NOT!!
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly why they deserve to be dissolved.
ReplyDeleteIs there no way we can find out what happened in closed session last night?
ReplyDeleteI just listened to the two most recent PNB meetings and laughed my ass nearly off. This stuff just can't be beat.
ReplyDeleteI like Mr. Chairman telling people to remove him as chair.

By the way, I'm saving these for posterity.

As the old saying goes, "You can't make this stuff up." Nobody would buy it as fiction because it is too absurd.
DeleteThat's why I have saved a bunch of PNB meetings. I need the evidence to show I'm not lying.

Even with the evidence, its hard to believe. On the surface, it just sounds like a mad house. Once you know the context, you wonder why they don't just get rid of the group that is actively and blatantly doing everything to undermine this foundation. What is there to lose at this point?
DeleteThe parliamentary system isn't working for Pacifica. Seems it's never worked very well. I know the LSB in Houston is an utter failure. Seems the PNB is following the same pattern.
ReplyDeleteIf I followed the teaching from my bachelor's degree in business, I'd get rid of all the boards and use some common sense business practices. And bankruptcy looks like the only option. We'll never get the PNB to agree so......away they go!!!
I don't have anything that resembles as much as a high school degree, but common sense is much like x-ray vision—only real.
