Hours and Compensation
Attendees discussed the number of hours that current staff devote to Stow TV. Members felt that the staff probably under-counts actual time spent because so much of it is sporadic and interspersed throughout daily life. Attendees noted that the Ascertainment document planned for the Coordinator and Assistant to work 30 and 15 hr/wk in 2013 and 35 and 20 hr/wk respectively in 2014. Bernklow moved and Glorioso seconded to plan thirty hr/wk for the Coordinator and 20 hr/wk for the Assistant Coordinator for calendar year 2014. Approved unanimously
Coordinator’s Contract
Bernklow moved and Pappas seconded to offer VanTine a contract for $32,543.00 annual payment for calendar year 2014, for 30 hours of work per week at a rate of $21.70 per hour. Approved unanimously
Virtual Private Network (VPN)
VanTine reported that Bob Mong is also interested in the VPN and says that it is already fully installed, and that Beth Tobey has been trying to connect – unsuccessfully so far - and has a checklist of what to do to connect. Bob will get the checklist and try it out. LACAC indicated to keep the $3000 allocated to “VPN Support” in the FY15 Town Budget.
Capital Planning
VanTine reported that she had talked with the chair of Capital Planning Committee and that he was willing to schedule a review of the replacement purchase of a video server in January, even though the purchase would be made in FY14.
FY15 Budget.
Members reviewed the draft spreadsheets and explanations. Bernklow moved and Pappas seconded to approve the FY15 Budget to the Town with changes as discussed: to add VOD server to list of potential equipment purchases and allocate an additional $8000, designate the VPN fund designation, and change staff hours as discussed. It was approved unanimously.
