Mashpee Community TV Updates <br /> Bill Nay provided the following updates: <br /> • He showed a copy of an article from the December-2017 Mashpee Enterprise discussing the new <br /> school video. Bill said the students are using the new studio and Mashpee TV will work with the <br /> school to get them up and running. <br /> 0 Mashpee TV started new initiatives to expand membership and remind people they have to <br /> become members of Mashpee TV. <br /> Dan Riley commented that video content is coming through and that will be attractive to the students—it <br /> is another great way to broadcast. <br /> Andrew Eliason asked if there has been any progress in possibly getting to broadcast HD from here as <br /> well as from Mashpee TV. Bill Nay said last year they submitted a bill but still waiting to get it moving. <br /> House already voted for it last year and it got delayed in the Senate. Hopefully it will pass this time. Dan <br /> said you just have to keep leapfrogging with what you have. <br /> David DelVecchio said he went to a Cape Cod Commission meeting and one of the things they talked <br /> about was new technical standard. <br /> Andrew Eliason said he has become a ROKU streaming video device fan and he notices there are private <br /> channels available there. He asked Bill Nay if he looked into that. Bill said he has heard they have space <br /> for local channels and he will look further into this topic. Dan Riley commented that YouTube TV is <br /> coming out and that should be investigated also. <br /> Bill Nay exited the meeting. <br /> Dawn Thayer-Budget et Discussion and Update <br /> Dawn provided a proposed draft FY-2019 MCAT Budget for the MCAT Board to review and approve. <br /> She also provided a report showing the current budget balance. Dawn explained that in drafting the <br /> proposed FY-19 budget she did the same approach as last year...she took the average of the last 3 years <br /> and she looked at monthly costs. Dawn said David DelVecchio will explain the IT budgeted items. <br /> The MCAT Board reviewed and discussed the proposed budget. <br /> Insofar as IT items,David explained: <br /> They've been worried for years about sprinkler system going off and damaging major equipment. <br /> David said everything is on 2 servers and we have 2 live servers replicated at other locations. The <br /> cost is $375/month to co-locate at the OpenCape facility. David said that will work well–all <br /> fiber. <br /> « Library PCs were upgraded for 14 staff members but Town did not do the public PCs. 24 public <br /> PCs budgeted. <br /> • $24,700 budgeted for scanning and digitizing Planning Department records. Prior Planning <br /> Director did not want to get this done. Town will pay half; MCAT budget will cover the <br /> remaining half to get it done. David said it's going to be a tremendous job and we have a good <br /> company doing it. <br /> 2 <br />
