eeff Clouth—Comcast Studio (continued) Andrew suggested Jeff check out the equipment and then suggest to us what we should do in getting volunteers brought up-to-date on the equipment. Lolita then stated that maybe when we have the Mashpee Pops performing that might be a great thing to video. Andrew said some more research should be done on this to determine whether or not events such as that can be telecast. James Chisholm pointed out that we have no one person who knows what is going on in public access. He said, for example, who would be responsible to coordinate that the modular equipment would be needed and where and when it would be needed. Jeff said the problem is getting volunteers. James Chisholm said if somebody was an entrepreneur then the groups being videoed would probably pay. Andrew said he is hopeful Jeff could come up with a plan to recruit volunteers to do video. Andrew thanked Jeff for coming to the meeting and said the Board looks forward to seeing him at next month's meeting. Next Meeting Tuesday,June 12, 2007 at 3 p.m.,Meeting Room 1. Discussion James Chisholm advised the Board that Debi Dami, Town Clerk, mentioned to him that she is going to make a proposal to this committee to get a piece of equipment because they are losing valuable records off their current system. James Chisholm suggested she go to David DelVecchio first. She has spoken to David and he gave her the cost estimate. It was the consensus of the Board that all town departmental requests should come through David, as they've done in the past—for example: Planning, Shellfish, Fire, etc. Maxine Wolfset then recommended two equipment upgrades for Town Hall Control Room: 1. Replace slow button on PS Data-Panasonic equipment. 2. Camera Switcher buttons are a problem. Following discussion, it was the consensus of the Board that Andrew will try the slow button and look at the switcher buttons to see whether something can be done to remedy Maxine's problems with button size. James Chisholm again reminded the Board that we cannot commit to anything beyond 2009 because we don't know what will happen to funding come 2010. James Chisholm exited the meeting at 3:50 p.m. Lolita McCray exited the meeting at 4 p.m. Maxine then pointed out 2 signs posted on the wall above the clock in Meeting Room 1 that a camera is set to hit.. She said with the old amiga it was programmed in,but not in this amiga and she feels it is amateurish. Andrew responded that he cannot understand why the new titler can't do that function. Andrew will check into it. Andrew also added that there ought to be a crawl during meeting identifying what program is being watched. Adiournment...Maxine Wolfset motioned the meeting be adjourned; this motion was seconded by James Moroney; and was approved by all Board members then present.
