awarded the bid for the equipment for the government channel.
Larry reports that we have recently received a $31,000 payment for six months from Comcast.
Larry mentions the current status of the negotiations with Comcast -unchanged since the last a-mail
which was about 22 August 2009.
There is some (rather acerbic) discussion about the progress of the negotiations with Comcast.
Larry reports that the Board of Selectmen wants this committee to come up with a job description of the
media person that might be hired to run the government channel, etc. Larry passes out copies of 4 job
description documents that might be useful in this matter:
Town of Dennis, Massachusetts -Draft Job Description for MIS Media Specialist
Dennis, Massachusetts -Draft Job Description for MIS Director
Video Technician -Town of Orleans, Massachusetts
Media Program Coordinator (Town of Orleans, Massachusetts)
We discuss these documents as a preliminary to constructing our draft of a job description document. Our
discussions focus on the Orleans Media Program Coordinator document.
After a brief discussion concerning the next meeting there is general agreement to skip the October
meeting but to have the November meeting at the regular date, time, and place.
The meeting seems to be out of other business to be taken up tonight. A motion to adjourn is made by
Janet Husband and seconded by Larry Bugden. The motion is passed unanimously.
As the meeting is closing Janet Husband volunteers to produce and to circulate to the committee members
(via a-mail) a draft of the desired job description. Her offer is greeted with enthusiastic albeit informal
assent.
The meeting is adjourned at 8:35 pm.
