No service provider provided a report to the chair. 5. Chairman’s Report a. The Chair reported on his meeting with Mr. Malloy as mentioned earlier. The main takeaway from the meeting is that Mr. Malloy is willing to be flexible to support matters relevant to the CAC. b. The Chair reported that it may be possible to use a lighter process to handle the up-coming LexMedia contract renewal. A discussion was also held on whether it is desirable to change the LexMedia contract period to something less than10 years. The committee noted that with changing technology, and possible fall out from the FCC “in-kind contributions” rulemaking, a longer contract period may not be desirable. 6. LexMedia Update Ms. Delsanto reported that the studio had additional improvements including a large green screen. New programming includes Coffee with the Candidates, writer shows and podcasts, and a still photography club. The new LexMedia website will be launched next week. It will have Google analytics and a complaint form will be available. Mr. Shiu recommended that complaint input should be moderated before displaying on the website. Ms. Delsanto reported that they have received requests to broadcast live from locations that do not have a direct line to LexMedia, including the DPW, Community Center, and the Depot. Ms. Goodman offered to coordinate access to the ethernet connection within the DPW network, to facilitate these broadcasts. Ms. Goodman indicated utilizing existing town communication infrastructures is preferred for these situations, especially if it is after school hours. Ms. Delsanto reported their new part time community producer has been producing promos for the library and community center, and Mr. Malloy or the new Public Information Officer Sean Dugan is willing to do updates from the town manager office. Mr. Becker thanked Ms. Delsanto for all the improvements at LexMedia. 7. LexMedia Q2 report The Chair thanked Ms. Desai, Ms. Vachani, and Mr. Avallone for the CAC draft response. The committee has reviewed the draft and unanimously approved the response.
