The meeting is taking place in the "Break Room" in the Brewster Town Offices building.
There is no person in the audience area.
Norman Adams distributes copies of the draft minutes of the meeting of Tuesday 17 February 2009, as
well as copies of the approved and subsequently filed minutes of the meeting of Tuesday 6 January 2009.
A motion is made by Janet Husband and seconded by Larry Bugden to approve the minutes of the
meeting of Tuesday 17 February 2009 as presented. The vote to accept is unanimous.
Larry Greeley reports about aspects of the LCCC meeting on Friday 27 February 2009 with Comcast in
the person of Mary O'Keeffe. As usual, these negotiations are proceeding less rapidly than seems
desirable.
Larry remarks that his efforts to obtain action on Comcast-related issues in Brewster from Mary O'Keeffe
by informal means such as telephone calls and use of a-mail have been unsuccessful and that generally
there is not even an acknowledgement of the reception of the message. He feels that in order to obtain a
response it has now become necessary to send written messages from the franchise authority, which is the
Board of Selectmen.
One implication of this increasingly onerous situation is that Brewster has an increasing need to be well
supplied with formal and properly documented ascertainment information from the Brewster citizenry
including both Comcast subscribers and Comcast non-subscribers.
Larry Greeley reports briefly on the status of the construction of the control room for the Brewster
government channel.
It is generally agreed that the next meeting should be on the regular schedule, to wit, on Tuesday 7 April
2009 at the usual time and place.
The meeting seems to be out of other business to be taken up tonight. A motion to adjourn is made by
Walter Powers and seconded by Larry Bugden. The motion is passed unanimously. The meeting is
adjourned at 8:05 pm.
