A report <br />on the audit will be provided to the CAC. <br /> <br />Steve Ellis sent an official resignation letter to the CAC. <br /> <br />RCN will be providing a fiber feed from the Selectmen’s Room to the LexMedia studio to enable <br />live feeds. A report on how and when this will be accomplished will be provided to the CAC and <br />passed on to LexMedia. <br /> <br />It was determined that a discussion with Comcast about a similar live feed should take place. <br />The CAC and LexMedia will have a meeting to get this conversation going. <br /> <br />Action Item: J. Canale to ensure the RCN is charged for interest for late bill. By the next <br />meeting, the CAC should have sent a bill to RCN for the interest. <br /> <br />RCN Amendment: <br /> <br />The RCN amendment to their contract on the build-out passed the Selectmen 3-2. <br /> <br />Verizon Negotiations <br /> <br /> <br />Major Issues: Verizon wants to be able to leave town after 3 years yet insists on a 15 year <br />contract. <br /> <br />Underground coverage for those that were missed with the unfinished RCN buildout <br /> <br />The negotiating committee is willing to recommend that Verizon NOT be awarded a contract if no <br />progress on negotiations can be made. <br /> <br />Other considerations – additional bandwidth for the library,for the LexMedia studio or other <br />monetary consideration. <br /> <br />Financial Report <br /> <br />Due to the continued lack of transparency of information available in the report as currently <br />present, another meeting with the comptroller will be scheduled. The goal of the meeting is so <br />that CAC members can quickly glance at this, or another, report and tell how much money is in <br />the account and any monies that hit the account from cable providers. <br />LexMedia Board Meeting 2/27/06 2 <br /> <br />
