uh this week or I'm sorry last week um I was informed that channel 22 was down on Monday night. I called Comcast on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday to try to get someone to come out. Um, they finally got back to me Friday and fixed
the problem. It was a loose connection. It was a decimator that was >> decimated our signal. >> We decimated our own signal. So, that was fixed. Um as far as um on the public channel, channel 9, we had significant
growth on that channel for this month. And in total, as of October, which started Q2, we have 60 programs. And you'll see that in my program analysis sheet and the report. Um last year for
the full year, we had 80 programs. So, we're on target to go over a hundred programs if everything continues as it is. >> Um, we recorded the first committee
confidential with the Council on Aging this month and that went up. Lily did a fantastic job and Eric edited the the footage. So, that was good. We got that under our belt. Um, Lily's going to
start recording a new show, another new show, um, in a couple of weeks called Book Club where she'll have a guest in to talk about a book that they've read. >> Yeah. So, that's going to start. And,
um, most of my time has been spent on a day-to-day administrative work. Um, but also a significant amount of time was spent uh working on the FY27 budget with myself and Steve Walker going through the going through the
budget. And that's all I have if there's any questions. >> Thank you, Joe. Anybody have any questions? Faith, do you have any questions?
Well, I saw something about Comcast didn't pay us on time or something. >> Did I read that correctly? >> What was last meeting? >> In the last Yeah, in the last meeting. >> Yeah.
>> Um they paid us on time, but the um finance did not get it posted on time. Not on time. Get it posted. Um, so I I was unable to report it. >> Oh, okay. But we're good now. >> We're good. Yeah, we're should get
another payment this month in November. >> Okay, good. >> Thank you. >> You're welcome. >> Steve O'Brien, any questions or comments? >> Are we all set with the uh the moving?
>> Yes, >> all set. Yeah, we're we were promised a storage room and that never materialized. Um there's no room or or the facilities director said there's not
another space for us to store our our furniture and some of our equipment. So, we're really jammed into that space. the stuff that you would have put in storage. Do you need it or can you get
rid of it? >> We're going to get rid of everything we can get rid of, but yeah, >> a lot of the furniture is for the set. >> Yeah, >> we don't use it all the time, but we like to have it available to us.
>> Yeah. Okay. Everyone good? Thank you, Joe. >> Okay. >> And the next thing on the agenda, uh Joe and myself have worked mainly Joe to be fair has worked on F27 budget
review because J manager has asked for provision. >> Um usually during the manager manager report. How much money? >> Oh, yes. >> So, I really need to I apologize for that. >> Yes.
>> My assumption is 1,66,8457. >> Yes, that is correct. >> Good guess. >> And um >> yes. And you can see the um program analysis sheet here with the new programs added
for o October which are in a green color on the left. We did a significant amount of sports. Um, a lot of different events at the Eagle
House and the library 20th anniversary celebration among other things. >> Excellent. >> Yep. >> We're still we're still below the 70% local programming mark that I would like
to have us up to, but um Yeah, we're getting close. >> Has the current season of public town meetings interrupted local programming?
Um, last time you said that the people didn't have a lot of extra time because of the large number of meetings. >> Did that affect >> Did has it affected this last month or is that calmed down? >> No. Um, well, the meetings are still the
same, but I have some very enthusiastic videographers who are willing to go out and keep keep doing programming. >> That's that's been the difference. I've had some very um engaged videographers
who are giving up a lot of their time to do this work. >> Well, that's commendable. >> Yeah, it is. >> Yeah. >> Thank you. Okay, we all good. >> Yeah, >> moving right along. Did you want to make
the presentation? Um, we have hot copies in front of us. >> Yes. >> Can you put it up on the computer so that Faith can see it? >> I I don't have it on the computer. >> Oh,
can you see it, Faith? Yeah, as well as I can hear you. >> Okay, I'll I'll be as clear as possible. >> I can hear you, Joe. >> Okay. All right. Um, this presentation,
as as I mentioned, has been put together by Steve and myself. Um it's for um it's for pre presenting in November to the tribe board.
So I'll go through it briefly and a lot of this information was information that Steve has previously put together for presentations. We have our PATH mission. Establish, develop, modernize, and
operate the town of Lunberg's public, educational, and government access channels to reflect Lunberg. accomplishments are listed which is a growing number of government meetings uh content that we're sharing on the uh
nationwide database the MMX database and the continued local programming growth. The next page shows all the different meetings that we do cover recorded meetings and then there's Zoom meetings that we have to make sure go up on um
YouTube after they're completed. The next page shows locally produced programs for Channel 9 and and Channel 22, which are sports, Talking Baseball, which is on hiatus right now, story time. Um, we're
supposed to start an around town program, but it's been pushed, so we're hoping in November. And Committee Confidential that just started, as well as events and entertainment. This is just a background of programming
growth and FY23, 24, and 25. And you can see this is similar to the report that I give every month. Um, in FY23 we had a total of 109 programs which did include
the downloads, access, share and local. FY24 125 programs which was a very good year and FY FY25 we only had 80 programs for the full year
and as I mentioned to date we have 60 programs as of October. So we're on target to do well. The next page is just an explanation of the categories which you guys have seen.
But you can um you can see that uh informational and entertainment are two big portions of the work that we do. Social media is the next page. um 1500 followers for Facebook.
The next page for YouTube, we have over 1,200 subscribers to YouTube. The next page is just an example of the kind of views that we get. As you can see, we got 198
views for a football game, 162 for select board, 118 for football. So, you can see the um the the activity on YouTube is is pretty heavy.
>> Mhm. Under financials, we had to reiterate again that PAC is a town department but is self-funded. Also worth mentioning >> pack revenues is from con from Comcast
is reserved for pack capital improvements and operations and it does not affect the town budgets and the enterprise fund is reserved for pack operations, equipment and other expenses. income sources.
The franchise fee interest on interest monthly that we receive for money in the bank and um some of the enterprise fund has been
vested in short-term bonds. Franchise fees. This just goes over um >> is that supposed to be there or not? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> I'm just >> Okay. The this page franchise fees talks about
cable cutting that it's it's not really cutting. It's what the but it's what the fee is based on. FY25 Comcast video service revenue from Lunenburgg dropped 6.3%. Um, and then this was used to estimate
the franchise fee for FY26. >> How much of a drop is is that estimated at? >> How much of a drop? >> Yeah, >> I'm sorry. What was that? Will the drop be equal to the number of subscribers in
Lunenburgg for our fees? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Yes. Um and then it goes on to talk about the fees, how they're governed under section 622 of the cables commun cable
communication act. Now we get to the numbers. This is set up as you can see by the month that we are paid in the calendar year that we are paid and then in the far right the fiscal year that we were paid
along with the percentage drop or increase. We estimate that in FY27 we're going to receive $161,000 Now, that's without FY26 coming into play yet, but with this over 6% drop,
we just use that number for FY27. The next the next slide um not sure it's necessary but it's just showing the uh our largest expense which is salaries and videographer pay
and the percent change over the years under investment income bonds that slide needs to be updated. We need to get um the latest latest information from both muse. So
that I cannot speak to that one right now. >> It's on the agenda. I actually have >> Oh, okay. The next slide. Pack anticipated income for FY27.
There's the 161,000 that we anticipate getting from Comcast. the $13,000 in interest that we assume we're going to get in interest in our account and then the investment interest which
brings our total income to $29,000. The next page is going to hurt your eyes. But if you follow the right side and go down, you can see that we estimated
FY27 salaries at 12 112,918 videographers at 44,625. This is for FY27. Longevity pay is an estimate as well. So in total the salaries are $159,120.
Following that down, all of the items listed here fall under expenses all the way down to legal fees. And under legal fee, well, before I go to legal fees,
if you go down to new equipment, which is capital, it's $65,000 this in FY27. Typically, we put in $10,000, but we have to replace the cast
and have money left over for emergencies or equipment failures. And the I'll go through the Comcast quote in a moment, but the Comcast quote is in the $55,000 range.
>> Not Comcast Castus, sorry. The Castis quote is in this $55,000 range. >> The next line item is legal fees. We are going to be negotiating the contract with Comcast
and in FY18 that cost was in the approximately $10,000 we paid for legal fees and we made an assumption of about $12,000 in
FY27. >> Question. >> Yeah. We covered by the town for legal fees. >> We're required to pay. >> We tried the state or the town. >> I turned out last time we tried to get
out. >> I don't know who it's required by, but we were told that we are on the hook for the legal fees. >> Okay. We we didn't find it >> by the time. >> When you say that one, would you make it clear it's the town's responsibility to
negotiate contract, not out? But we have to pay. >> Yes, we do. >> Okay. Now, >> I have a question, Joe. >> Okay. >> Um, we're a p town
and there's a town legal council, right? >> Yes. So, are they just taking making us pay for part of his salary? Is that what it is? Or what are the legal fees?
>> His purview is town business and committee and board business. But we need to have >> But we need to have an attorney who specializes in cable negotiations. So we can't
>> So we can't use our town council. >> That makes more sense. >> Okay. >> Third party. So we're getting money for >> Okay. Um
so our full expenses are listed um as 139,000. Huh? Something is something is wrong. >> I think the u the line above got knocked down one too many cells. I'm not sure how that would have affect
the calculations. I don't um I don't know what happened but we can recorrelate it and find out that you need the original to do that. >> Yes, I will do that. So I don't have the
expense listed on this chart. I do have it on the following pages. So there will be the total expense. Um and below that you can see the income
lines which are uh user charges are the Comcast is what Comcast pays which is which what we anticipate Comcast to pay which is 161,000. Below that is the
35,000 in bond interest and below that is the 13,000 that we expect to get for interest. So in total
our revenue is estimated to be $29,000. >> Um Joe, >> yes. Have we built in the assumption that the feds may lower the interest rate again? >> Um,
>> no. Because we don't know how to. >> Okay. >> Out of politics, so we just >> let it run based on the history. >> Okay. I'm just don't want us to overestimate >> No, you're right.
>> our income. Uh we are invested in bonds. Correct. >> Correct. Um bonds are expected to go up. >> Shortterm ones are expected to go up higher than long term.
>> Is that right? >> Over the next couple of years. >> Okay. my my financial information, everything is going to go for puts in the bond market's going to go. >> We shall see.
>> So, it's one of those it's going to do this. >> Yeah. >> The what I've been told is bonds are probably going to stay steady or go up. >> Okay. Good. >> Okay. >> What will actually happen? But good
enough to predict. >> All right. >> So, our revenue total is uh estimate is $29,000 and our expense estimate right below that expense total is $298,868.
So, if you take the >> They're pretty close. >> They're pretty close. But if you take the um the expenses out of the income, we are negative $89,868.94,
>> which means >> which means we have to go into retained earnings to cover that. >> Okay. And the reason why well the next page is the summary budget.
So as you can see as I mentioned before the salaries are $159,120. The estimated indirect cost is $35,648. Operations is $39,100. And just to let you know in that $39,000
the indirect cost and capital is not included in that number. Those are just the line items of um the the regular expenses that we have. So the total expenses
are $233,868. The total income, and this is all estimated, is $29,000. So, we're short $24,868. However, we have to add the capital expense and there at $65,000,
which brings us to $89,868 in shortfall. >> Everybody familiar with that? This is the only slide that really matters. >> I know it well. I
make a suggestion for the slide is to put a negative on the negative and a positive on the positives >> sorry >> or however they do it in green whatever >> red and green it's hard to figure out I
know you say total expenses I put a negative next to that and then total income positive >> you know that way there it's easier to maybe a line under operations Does that make sense? >> Sure. >> Just so it looks like that was this
total experience. >> Yeah. Made this slide originally. >> Well, I'm just saying for visual if you're going to show this to people who don't understand. >> Right. >> Okay. >> Um the next slide, retain earnings
versus expenses. I was asked to put this together. Um, I was asked to put together a 10-year. I only did four years, so I'll have to go back and get some more information. But this is just showing our retained earnings
against our expenses for the year. That's basically all it is. The next slide is financial changes affecting the FY27 budget. Under equipment and services, as I mentioned, the cast server
replacement, including the setup fee is a capital expense at $55,543. Then there's emergency capital for equipment repair and replacement of $9,457 bringing the total to $65,000
which is the amount I have in the calculations for capital or for equipment capital equipment. So, and then as I mentioned earlier,
um the legal fees for Comcast contract negotiations are at $12,000. So, just those two expenses alone um is costing us $77,000.
>> Change effecting to affecting plan. Where is that? >> The very top. >> It's affecting the budget, not causing the budget to >> a affecting. >> Yes.
>> Come. Sorry to pick. Oh, people have so much trouble with those students. This is a the next page is is you can just go through that on your own, but it's a listing of um it's a Comcast quot I'm sorry I keep doing that. It's a cast
quote um with what you get with the new cast and the cost um and also the frequency of that cost. Um and it's important to note which I have on this slide that the annual cast expenses
increase will be increasing approximately $9,000 starting in FY28 because a lot of these a lot of these um features or services
um are built annually. And then >> are those the services like when the castus breaks down and you have to call someone? >> Yes, that's one of the services. Yes. And um the other services are a cloud
service which is a video on demand service. Uhhuh. Um there's a service uh closed captioning >> for live events. That's that matters help us a lot. >> Yeah, that will help us a lot. Um >> yeah,
>> uh there's also an option for getting a Roku or Fire TV or app and Apple TV um integration with Castis. >> Oh, that's good. >> A one time fee. So, it's not annual.
>> It's not annual. They set it up and integrate it. >> Mhm. And then there's a mobile app >> and that's an annual fee. >> Thank you. >> Y the approved strategy
you can see usually operation expenses including capital expenses have been held to less than expected income. And we will use we will use or I shouldn't say we will but um this proposals to allow us to use
the reserve funds or the retained earnings for budget capital expenses >> and act to modernize funding for community media is currently in legislation. Um not sure
>> the fourth small bullet. I think we should take that out because we don't know the ratios yet. That's one of the discussion point. So if we say money is collected at state level dispersed based on population
that's value. Um, but take the next three bullets out. The 20, 40, and 40%. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> It's just that it's well, it's fluid, but we haven't seen anything for a few months, unfortunately. >> Right. Right.
>> Want to go there and end up being wrong. >> Second, >> you don't want it to be there and end up being wrong. So, >> true. >> So, I did go through that rather quickly, but at least you'll have a chance to look at the numbers. Um,
>> and you send it to Faith. Can you read it if Joe sends it to you, Faith? >> Yep. >> Okay. >> Okay. I will email that to you. >> Thank you. >> You're welcome. >> But you did a good job explaining. I could visualize it.
>> Oh, good. >> Nice job on setting it up. A lot of information. >> A lot of information. Maybe maybe too much information, but it's I think there's a misconception out there that pack is all about doing meetings and
that's it. For for most people, that's what they think about. >> Yeah. I see. Yeah. >> And that not everyone, but I think a a fair amount of people just think pack meetings and that's why I put the background in there because we're also
doing a lot in the community, >> right? So, You know would be interesting. I know you have the YouTube breakdown of the non meeting. >> Well, I put in here the ones that were
mostly viewed. >> Okay, then. >> And that gives a fairly good snapshot. Um, like people love the sports when when the high school sports are up there. They love that. Um, the select
board meeting typically gets a lot of views. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, it's it it depends on what's going on. >> It it really does. >> Good. >> Yeah. and the musical programs.
And at this >> I can't I can't put musical programs on YouTube because of copyright. >> Oh, okay. >> Yeah, >> we've been flat. >> Yeah, we have. >> Other people can, but we've been flat. >> We have been. >> So, now we're
>> on probate. Yeah, I know. I know. >> We're on super secret silent probation. >> Yep. >> Where other places haven't been caught yet or have >> Well, they they use that they use these scary AI algorithms to find and all that doesn't always catch everything.
>> All right, nice job. >> Yes, thank you. >> Thank you. Yes. >> Do you need any motions? >> Sorry. >> Do we need a motion? >> I don't believe so. We We can do if you want. >> No. If you if you need one, I'll make a
motion to approve the presentation to the finance committee. >> No, try >> board. >> What's Okay, to the tri board. I because I think when I was reading
what you had attached to the agenda for this meeting, there was something that said that the committee has to approve any audio visuals that are presented on behalf of the committee.
>> Yes. We have to approve the Joe presents it according to the B. Yes. >> So I will approve the budget F27 proposed presentation >> to the tri board. >> Okay.
>> To triboard. >> Yes. >> Are you separate? No, we have to approve Joe. She's not a member of the committee >> to approve. >> I read the bylaws. So to approve
Joe's budget. >> No. >> To approve that she presents it on behalf of >> on behalf of PAC. >> Supposed to be >> that Joe presents. Okay. To approve that Joe presents the budget F27
proposal as amended to the tribe. >> No. That's correct. >> Yeah. I move >> presents the presents
the budget F27 proposal as a proposal as amended to tri board committees. >> Yes. >> I'm trying to get the word right because when I type it up >> Yeah. >> I want to make sure I type it up. I don't mind doing notes. >> So Faith made the motion. Did we have a
second? >> Yes. Brian seconded. >> You did. Thank you. Any further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor by Steve. >> Yes. >> Faith. >> Yes. >> Brian, >> yes.
>> And myself. Yes. >> Awesome. That's >> Bri. >> Okay. The next one number eight is bylaws review. I also
>> made extra copies by mistake. Does anyone want a copy? >> Well, it's easier than pulling it up on my on my laptop. >> I actually have I made some copies as well. I had some >> since I added it to the agenda. I said I could bring um since I was on the committee that did this.
Um what I we we all received an email from the town some town department. >> We did. >> Yes. from the bylaw committee. Someone on the committee have and this is what the process is. They reach out to everyone
and say, "Please look at the bylaws. Do you have any comments?" >> Yeah. >> So, I wanted to make sure it got on this agenda that we all realize we should look at it and then there's someone specific to send it to which I
>> which you have also. So, um, >> it looked very official. >> Bac did you uh I don't know what you want to do with it. Well, we can either ask people if they
have comments or if you go through and read each reading of it, I only ended up with two comments. One of which was relatively simple and that's in the first paragraph.
Now, the TV channels are 8 N and 99 >> uh 22. >> There you go. >> 8 9 and 22. >> Yeah. Okay. >> So that means so >> also Steve says it should be PACC guidelines.
>> This is the committee's >> guidelines >> guidelines not yours. >> The top line it says PAC guidelines very top. >> Oh I think I I think I'm going to have to take one of your copies. Mine's different.
>> What? >> This was right from the town. >> Yeah. Mine was in my files from >> Okay. Thank you. >> Yeah, I was confused by that. So, I'm
glad you're making that clear. >> Did anyone else notice anything of concern? remember anything else? >> Um, I do have a question though. You you brought out the distinction between PAC
and PACC. >> Correct. Does do the bylaws also um are they also for PAC for the No, >> which from my understanding is the group
that does the contract negotiation. >> Oh, no, that's a different one. The contract negotiation is called a cable advisory committee. >> Oh, okay. >> I don't even know if they have bylaws. Do you know if they do?
Oh, we have to look it up on the >> okay >> the website. >> But anyway, it's not our responsibility. >> Okay. >> Responsibility lies with select board strictly. >> Um, are we good? I I thought it went pretty well.
Um, it it's pretty much what we've been doing all year. I didn't notice anything that we're no longer doing. Although, it was good catch for 29. I can never >> 22. >> 22. >> And I said, did I write 22 on that one?
>> You did. >> Okay. I wrote 29 on this. >> All right. Um >> the very last paragraph um is the way we have been doing it as long as I've been so >> right. >> But in this particular case, the town
manager is as the jud >> she represents us. Yeah. So, >> I'm sorry. What? The very last paragraph where? >> Third page. Third page. >> Oh, third page. >> It says PAC will submit an annual budget
to the town manager. So, what we've done is we've approved the 26 one would be the most applicable u which I had presented. >> Yeah. >> We've been doing it. the provisional
27 financial year. Uh we've agreed with it and asked you to present it. You making sense? So it's >> that's why we had to vote on it. >> Yeah. Right. Right. >> Yeah. >> Right.
>> Yeah. >> But you have done presentations to different groups, you know, town committees and stuff. on our me. >> If we vote to approve this as amended, there's only two changes.
>> That's all I know. Anybody else? Nothing. >> Looks good. >> Then doesn't you make a mention? >> Yeah, we should make a motion to approve it and then send it to the appropriate committee. >> Second.
>> Okay, I will. I try to avoid it all work. >> I know. >> The makes the motion to accept the bylaws as amended. Actual bylaws as amended. >> Yes.
>> What's a second? >> Oh, Faith. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't hear you, Faith. I >> Okay. Ah might say then you can do the discussion. >> Yeah and there is some discussion. >> I can't remember where I saw it.
>> What was it talking about? >> It's talking about if you make any change to the bylaws you have to propose them at one meeting and propose them next meeting >> and I will please you're the expert.
When we were doing this, if it was a change in the policy, yes. If it was housekeeping, >> you could do it. >> That's what I needed to >> We're changing fact. We're just correcting it. That's an error. That housekeeping
>> 20 99 used to be the channel. >> 22 is the channel now. That is housekeeping. >> It hasn't. >> Yes. >> No. If we decided that the members Yeah. um had to be elected by running around the track three times and
that would have to be posted because that's >> does that include aluminium >> only if we have a schedule to do it. So does that help >> what I was looking for?
>> So all those meetings Okay. So, does that make sense? Because this cleaning up actually the committee wants us to Are there any major philosophical changes to this document? No. >> Agreeing is this pretty much we've been
doing it the way we do it >> and we're we're not doing something different. That's the big thing they're looking for is over the last year we've decided this is how we're doing it and it disagrees. We need to update it. >> Yeah. >> We're doing what it says now. we have been doing but now channel it's channel
22 that's basically so yeah >> do we need a vote >> or did we or did we just do it >> no we didn't vote yet but I'm >> okay >> roll call Steve >> yes >> yes
>> yes >> myself which case we are >> unanimous to whomever Special guard. Special guard. Charge of silly things. I wrote that down. Special guard in
charge of silly things. So I have a to-do. All right. That was a good point, Steve. I plan to write it up. >> It's not my school. >> Oh, here it is. I have to send it to
>> Oh, that's in fact Did you want to Okay, sorry. >> I think it's in my packet. The last page in my packet that I gave you is >> I I printed the email that Yeah. >> we received. I've got to send it to
bylaw review lunberg mask. >> From your limb address. Is that now working? >> Yes, it is. >> Do I check it? >> But not often. >> It's supposed to send it to my other
account >> and get anything. >> Mine doesn't p. >> It says every time I do something on it says this is being and I look and I go nothing is being >> mine's supposed to do and I've never got denied. >> Okay. So it's not just me. >> I do check it every once in a while.
>> Yeah. >> Okay. But I will send that out within the next day or two. So if something in the next day or two just jumps at you, drop me a note. >> Okay. >> Nine. That was the one we just did. The

Joe's. I will look for it again in print. All right. So I have here under the old >> this is the starting point. >> So I should probably put in there
