Unfinished Business:
- The committee viewed the various logo options created by David Koles. None of them seemed to meet what the committee wanted. Diane will speak with David to clarify our expectations
- The retention policy was reviewed and it was decided that with several changes Sally would rewrite it and present it at our February meeting to be signed. We will then present it to the BOS. It was also decided that the old policy written in 1995 would be presented to the selectmen to rescind.
- The request for a new camera by Carol Cappola, Business Administrator for the Sandborn Regional Schools, was discussed in length as there were many technical details involved. The decision to let them choose one of the two cameras the committee has on hand as a temporary solution. Donna will check out the cameras to be sure at least one is in working order.
New Business:
- Donna told the committee that head phones were needed for the cable room. She did some research and found an inexpensive set that should do the job for now.
