Dave Becker reported on the results of his meeting with the Town. Michele Malone was able to produce some accounting reports which, along with information from LexMedia, could be used every month to get the infor would be put into a spreadsheet, similar to the one presented to the CAC recently by Dave and Maria. This spreadsheet would be what the CAC would use to track its accounts. A request has gone to LexMedia to provide the CAC with monthly invoices and they have agreed. Next steps: Dave Becker will send an electronic copy of the spreadsheet to the committee to review and so we can make ourselves familiar with the accounting. Dave Becker also reported that there appears to be some encumbered money in the initiatives account that needs clarification from the Town. Dave will report next month on if this has been cleared up. LexMedia Report Shelby Kashket gave a status of Kline Hall. The Avalon Bay lease had been signed by the Town and a consent to sublease has been signed by LexMedia with the Twon. This makes the lease arrangements complete. The architect was given the go ahead to proceed with the contractor . Shelby reported that, although the contractor bid officially had expired, they honored the bid and are read to go. The new executive director search is proceeding well, according to Shelby. They have narrowed the search down to 3 very well qualified finalists and hope to have a new director very soon. All the 3 top candidates are available immediately. In regards to programming, conversations have been held with LIFT and it has been agreed that LIFT will be carried on the Public channel. Most of the day Sunday will be reserved for the broadcasting of services. The issue of whether a live feed can be done from Hancock is still unresolved but LexMedia is pursuing this option. The programming for the Educational channel will comprise some SCOLA programming as well as some other school related programs LexMedia has put together. They will have some student programming of the TV studio class if it progresses as hoped this year. In addition, they are looking into expanding into student sports. There was discussion on an audio problem with the Selectmen’s room. Dave Becker questioned why, when an LexMedia person was on site, that they could not correct audio issues immediately since they were monitoring the audio output. It turns out that batteries for some of the mikes were not replaced, resulting in poor audio for some of the meetings. Shelby responded that this is not within LexMedia’s realm to fix but the Town is aware of the issue.
