Minutes from Previous Meeting of April 14, 2010. The minutes were accepted as written.
Upcoming events:
- The board discussed the preparations, equipment, and personnel needed to film the Memorial Day Parade.
- Requests for public notifications are as follows:
Meals on Wheels, Lobster Luncheon, Fee Free Bulk Pick-up, and Town Wide Yard Sale.
- The Newton Learning Center requested information about what they could publish on Channel 20. It was determined that we could not publish their information since they are a for profit organization. We could, however, broadcast their graduating class photo, providing they obtain permission from the parents of each child.
Correspondence and communication:
- TJ Leightronix asked how Diane was doing as she had communicated with them about a problem.
Unfinished Business:
- We will address the implementation of Tom’s template at our next meeting.
- The Board of Selectmen’s rebroadcasting schedule has been changed from 12:00a.m. to 12:00p.m. Mary W. asked that she be notified when something new is added to the schedule.
- The budget was discussed and it is felt that at this time we are within our budget.
- The board will use the next meeting as a work meeting and training session at that time. Mary W. and Diane will bring their laptops. Boxes would be appreciated for cleanup.
- Diane has researched possible software for transferring video onto the Nexus. After some discussion a motion was made by Diane to purchase the Adobe Premiere Elements software using funds from the Expendable General Trust Fund. It was seconded by Mary W and the vote to purchase was unanimous. We will have thirty days to evaluate the software.
New Business:
- Tavish presented a letter requesting a formal leave of absence from June 25 to August 2nd. The board granted Tavish an unpaid leave of absence. We all wished him well in his venture to teach English to Polish students.
- Tavish used a program called “Prism” to get a video onto the Nexus. It is a cumbersome procedure and the Adobe Software will make this process much easier.
Other: None
