Bill, thanks for posting the agenda. I was looking for it on the website.
It looks like DCTV is doing some repairs or upgrades so I guess the meeting will not be televised. Since I haven't missed a meeting in 3 years, either in person or on TV, I was wondering about the meeting content.
Do you know if they will still record it for future playback?
Are you folks going to wrestle to see who sits where?
Thanks again!
It's definitely nice to have the agenda available online. I'd like to offer two suggestions that maybe you can take with you to your position as a SB member. One: why, if the town needs so much assistance with its current problems are the Board meetings still once every two weeks? I know that there are meetings during the week, but the times of those meetings aren't exactly condusive to the majority of the public's schedule, so why not make it weekly...unless there is a rationalization I haven't come across yet.
Two: please, please, please recommend updating the town's website. It is not the easiest of sites to navigate and other small towns have better looking and running sites then we do. In my opinion, a better working site will answer a lot of questions people have and people will be able to find what they might be looking for if it were set up properly.
I just called DCTV and it looks like they will try to have the SB meeting live tonight. The repairs they are making involve playback of recorded material but they think there is a high probability of success for something live. They also expect to be able to record it and save that for playback in the future after the repairs are made.
Regarding the Town website - One of the suggestions of our Priv. committee was that we needed some IT help. There is only 1 person trying to do everything. We suggested the "hiring" of a college intern that would be paid a stipend... no benefits. This was part of question 5 on the ballot, so we should see some improvement soon.
As far as a UMASS student working on the town website as an internship.... Most internships are done for credit, not many get paid for internships. I think there are many different places in the town where an intern would be helpful. Also, we should consider BCC students.
