Also present: Anne Van Tine – LACAC Coordinator

The meeting began at 7:30 pm.
Anne VanTine presented a proposal to purchase additional equipment for the station. On the list were an Apple computer for video editing for $5200, a Windows computer for video editing for $4000, a Bulletin Board computer for $1100, a Nexus Video Server for $11,000, and various individual items for $8970. The total proposed cost was $28,270.
After discussion, the consensus was that all the equipment proposals minus the Windows computer would be helpful. The total cost: $24270.
Steve Dungan moved that the Committee authrize the expenditure of up to $24,270 for the equipment. Bob Glorioso seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous in favor.
Ann VanTine requested the Committee authorize the hiring of a PEG Assistant Coordinator position, which had been on the Committee’s list of priorities from the inception of the Committee. Anne felt the need was even greater now that the station is up and running with added demands on programming. The position would be for 10 hours a week and pay $11 per hour. The Committee voted unanimously to support the proposal.
Lew Halprin indicated he would like to attend a video conference which he felt would be helpful in the technical operation of the station. The cost is $140. Len Golder moved that the Committee approve the expenditure of $140 for Lew to attend the conference. Steve Dungan seconded the motion. The Committee voted unanimously to authorize the expenditure for Lew to attend the conference.
Lew stated we’re presently receiving 2 ½ % of cable revenue generated from Stow from Comcast. Lew stated that we could get up to 5% of revenue, but we would need to show a plan as to why we need that amount if we chose to request it.
Len Golder moved to adjourn. Bob Glorioso seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned at 9:40 pm.
