Lexington Communications Advisory Committee <br />Minutes of November 15, 2007 Meeting <br />LexMedia <br />Jim Gonzales and Linda Roemer have completed the LexMedia performance report for <br />July 2006 through June 2007, and presented it for CAC approval. The committee <br />accepted the report unanimously. Jim and Linda plan to submit the report to the Board of <br />Selectmen in the next few weeks. <br /> <br />The Town Manager and Board of Selectmen are discussing possible changes to the <br />Town’s current contract with LexMedia to ease the cash flow problem. <br /> <br />LexMedia gave a briefing on their status and plans. Their Executive Director recently <br />resigned and the LexMedia Board of Directors has initiated a search for his replacement. <br />In the interim, board members will take on the responsibilities of the ED. <br /> <br />A key question for LexMedia is the pace of construction for Kline Hall. They have a <br />price commitment from at least one contractor that will expire soon if the proposal is not <br />accepted, and yet cannot get clear answers from Avalon, owner of the property. <br />LexMedia can stay at Kite’s End, their present studio site, until June 2008 on a month-to- <br />month basis, if necessary. <br /> <br />Repairing and resiting the Scola antenna and receiver is part of the Kline Hall <br />construction work. In the present view, Scola will be unavailable on the PEG channels <br />until the damaged antenna can be relocated. When that happens, LexMedia plans to use <br />the antenna to receive other video signals of interest to the community as well. <br /> <br />The committee was very impressed with the spirit and specific plans of the organization, <br />and looks forward to a rejuvenated access organization. <br /> <br />Wireless status <br />Ed Vail and Jim Gonzales submitted a written wireless status report. <br /> - 6 Merriam Street application received, comments returned to originator <br /> - 397 Lowell Street (Verizon) application approved and sent to Board of Appeals <br /> - 313 Marrett Road (T-Mobile) under construction, not yet completed <br /> - 313 Marrett Road (Verizon) wouldn’t meet code, tentatively withdrawn <br /> <br />The wireless subcommittee plans to meet with Board of Appeals Chair on proposed <br />revisions to the wireless zoning article. <br /> <br /> <br />The meeting was adjourned at 9:15 PM. <br /> <br />Submitted by David Becker and John Rommelfanger <br /> <br />3 <br />
