IT FUND REQUEST AND UPDATE
David DelVecchio said that at the last MCAT meeting he requested $3,000 for enhancements to the mooring tracker application and they would now like to modify the mooring on-line sticker tracker application to function on the mooring data base. David said he is asking for an additional $2,190 for enhancement to the mooring tracker suite application to add the products of mooring tracker and renewals on-line. A copy of the Bonsai Logic quote presented by David DelVecchio is attached to the printed set of these minutes.

David advised that James Vaccaro hoped we could get Comcast to fix the clarity of the Community station broadcast. David said Comcast did work on it and just got it clear on Friday.
Broadcasting Issues
David DelVecchio reported that the Video Scan Converter device has been ordered through Valley and we are now waiting for it to come in. He said this device converts the PC image so it can go over the air.
Andrew Eliason informed David that the broadcast operators were caught blindsided because video and sound has a 5-second delay and they had not been informed. Andrew said the operators are getting used to it now.
Next Meeting
Lolita McCray suggested MCAT try starting meetings at 1 p.m., rather than 2 p.m. Andrew Eliason said he will check with Peter Cohen to see whether or not Peter is agreeable to the 1 p.m. start time suggested. If so, the October meeting would begin at 1 p.m.; otherwise start time will remain at 2 p.m.
The next MCAT meeting is to be held Tuesday, October 9, 2012, Town Hall Meeting Room 1.
