  • In conjunction with the archival taping issue, a date is trying to be decided for talks about the Integrated Media Agreement.
  • There is in place a reasonable practice of hiring associate and assistant conductors.  Both positions are seen as a step in the career of young conductors.  However, the inaugural year for Langrée is very tight in regard to scheduling necessary auditions so the current associate and assistant conductors may be renewed for one year.
  • The organization wants to come up with creative innovations for donor concerts.  Any ideas can be forwarded to Paul Frankenfeld.
  • Reminder that Barbara Jaccoma will be coming to town on November 10 for pre-negotiation conversations.  Everything looks very positive at this point.

  • President Frankenfeld responded by writing a letter to the Festival creator explaining the concerns and that the Local would be happy to assist them in constructing agreements in the future.

Quarterly General Membership Meeting/September 30, 3013

The quarterly general membership business meeting of the Cincinnati Musicians’ Association was called to order on September 30, 2013 at 7:13 PM.

18 members were present.

Minutes from the June 26, 2013 quarterly meeting were approved as read.

OLD/CURRENT BUSINESS:

I.  Welcome

  • Carol Dunevant, Secretary called roll for the officers and Trustees.  Mike Andres was absent.
  • President Frankenfeld asked the members to stand for a moment of silence to mark the passing of Gene Frey, President Emeritus.
  • President Frankenfeld welcomed all of the members present and reported that Mr. Frey’s children had not responded with a possible date for a local memorial service.  As a result the newsletter would be held up at the printers to give them time to respond.  The information would be added to the newsletter.

II.  National Update

  • It was reported that since the last meeting no progress had been made in Minnesota.  Their music director has threatened to leave the position if no agreement was reached.
  • If no agreement is reached a planned concert at Carnegie Hall will be cancelled.
  • It will be one year as of October 1 that the orchestra has been locked out.

III. Constitution

  • Ballots will be printed and mailed as quickly as possible so that the constitution revisions can be voted upon.

IV.  Lexington Philharmonic Update

  • At the last meeting Jose Mangual updated the members about the situation in Lexington.  President Frankenfeld asked if Jose would provide an update.
  •  September 8-9,2013 there were negotiations.  Players were asked to sign a non-compete clause which would exclude players from participating in other organizations within a certain mileage radius.
  • Negotiations also indicated that management wanted to do away with the artistic committee review process giving all authority to the conductor.
  • September 12 began the first week of rehearsals and there was no progress so they have a national mediator.  The players gave a vote of ‘no confidence’ to the conductor.
  • It seems apparent that management issues are coming directly from the conductor since all of the issues are creative and not financial in nature.
  • Jose stated that a new Board President has just come on board and appears easier to speak with about the situation and management was showing signs of asking questions and reconsidering an offer.  A temporary contract was offered and the players voted to accept so that a strike could be avoided.
  • Jose closed by stating that the management is claiming tight finances and it appears that much of the management works in “secret.”  The players have actually asked the Board if any of them have taken a pay cut. The Board also extended the contract for the conductor through 2015.

 

FIFTY-YEAR HONOREES:

  • President Frankenfeld read the names of the members who have achieved fifty years of membership with the Local.  Tonight we honor Ken McLaughlin, Paul Pillar, Dale Renner, Joseph Rogers, and Dieter Van der Bent.
  • In keeping with tradition Paul introduced each honorary member by sharing highlights of their life and musical careers.  Each honorary member received a commemorative membership card and pin noting their tenure with the organization.

Honorary members also had the opportunity to share additional stories.

 

OPEN DISCUSSION:

None

Meeting adjourned at 8:01PM followed by a reception for the honorees.

OLD/CURRENT BUSINESS:

I.  KSO concerns

  • Discussion continued over the CCO no longer playing at the Carnegie Center for Visual at Performing Arts.  The Kentucky Symphony Orchestra has been scheduled.  While it has been recognized that the KSO does provide performance opportunities and pays the players the day of the performance, the concern is that the pay may be uneven and under scale.
  • President Paul Frankenfeld would like to speak to CMA members who frequently perform with the KSO to talk about the concerns and his desire to create a fence agreement with the organization.  Such an agreement would allow members of the CMA to be paid scale wages but would not effect non-union members.  President Frankenfeld is not looking to create a CBA but rather protect the rights of union members.

II.  Emergency Loan

  • A long time member has approached the Board with a request for an emergency loan of $300.  With this loan the member would be able to cover a medical expense.  Without having a procedure the member would be forced to lose work.
  • Since the current constitution provides for such a loan Don Hurd presented a motion to grant the loan with reasonable terms of repayment.  Joe Gaudio gave the second.  The motion passed.

III. ICSOM Convention

  • President Frankenfeld gave a summary of the ICSOM convention in Kansas City.  The report included information on the Federal Conciliation and Mediation Service; radio broadcasts which fall under the Public Radio agreement, and a performance of members of the Kansas City Philharmonic in their new hall.  The same individual who designed Disney Hall designed the hall.  The acoustics are superb. Other issues discussed at the convention were the Integrated Media Agreement and the announcement that Nashville has ratified a new contract.  It does contain a 15% rollback in wages but means there will not be a work stoppage.

IV.  Constitution Revision

  • Ballots will be printed next week and mailed out soon after.  The expected timeline will be two weeks to review the revisions and notify the Board of any questions or concerns then ballots due to the Office two weeks later.

V.  990 review

  • The final review of the 990 form has been postponed until the next Board meeting.

NEW BUSINESS:

I.  Quarterly General Membership meeting

  • The date of September 30, 2013 at 7PM was scheduled for the next membership meeting.
  • The meeting will include recognition of the new Honorary Members.

II.  Gene Frey Memorial

  • President Frankenfeld is waiting to hear from Gene Frey’s children regarding a possible memorial.

III. Elections

  • Current Trustee and Officer terms are ending in December of 2013.  Petitions for running for a position will be available in the Office by September 9, 2013.  They are due back to the Office by the 1st Tuesday in October.
