Review by Steve of hearing #2 earlier in the day. We had a mix of supporters and opposed residents at the hearing, and a good discussion.
Discussion of appointing Jon to committee, decided to keep him as a participating member.
Discussion of Jon doing business plan, need to close with Jon on when he would start/finish the plan.
Discussed possible changes to the presentation:
- Differentiate that raising assessments does not raise taxes in future presentations.
- Clarify that the new MLP is a non-financial article in the next presentation. Stan will follow up with Leverett on how they approached this.
- Remove discussion of warrant for the CAI work at town hall and public safety, put a summary slide together of the warrant items. John will add a slide.
- Add item to presentation to explain that the VOIP service is a new box, but existing phones can be used as well as wiring.
- Possibly add item to mention telemedicine possibilities of proposal.
- Create smaller, 12 slide max version of slides for use in the Town meeting.
Discussion on ISP costs and oversubscription rates. Rough computation suggests a 2GB backhaul could support 50MB sustained throughput for average residential use, based on the slick(?) ISP data obtained.
