SPECIAL MEETING

and David Buczkowski
The Meeting was called to order at 6:51 P.M.
The Chair requested that minutes from the previous meeting be held until the December
21, 2006 regular CAC meeting.
Mr. Akimchuk circulated the Fixed Asset Logs Templates for LexMedia to use that he
had drafted. A discussion was held regarding their use.
Mr. Becker discussed the letter from the Mary Jo Bohart, Executive Director of the
Chamber of Commerce in which she complained of LexMedia not covering a recent
Chamber sponsored event. Ms Bohart had recently testified at the Performance Hearing
in support of LexMedia.
Mr. Gonzalez stated that performance comments were to be sent directly to the Board of
Selectmen and Ms. Bohart’s letter was so sent. Mr. Gonzalez will speak at the
Selectmen’s meeting and bring the issue to their attention.
A discussion was held on whether and how Ms. Bohart’s letter would be handled. A
decision was made to attach it to the report. The members will review the latest draft of
the report.
The CAC voted unanimously to accept the report as discussed with a stipulation of
corrections for grammatical and typographical matters.
A discussion was held about how the LexMedia report should be presented to the
Selectmen in the time allotted. It was decided that the important overall points of the
report should be noted such as the failure to live up to the contract. It was also noted that
the thoroughness of the review including written interrogatories, site visits, hearings and
public comments should be stressed. Also a request to the Selectmen for assistance in
obtaining documentation and compliance from LexMedia would be made at the meeting.
Finally, the presentation will include the CAC’s recommendations.
A discussion was had about the financial concerns the CAC had regarding LexMedia.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:10 P.M.
Respectfully, submitted, David J. Buczkowski
