All right. And I will send that to town hall. Excellent. Oh, man. Best part of the whole meeting. Manager. This is Joe Tol speaking. Um, I
don't have a lot. Um, we've been working on the move. Actually, Eric has done a tremendous job with the move. He did most of it on his own. Um, the only thing is we need cameras to be
wired and some additional furniture needs to be moved in there. Um, we should be ready for recording next week. Um, we did not get a storage room as promised.
No. So, the facilities director, Chris Ruth, said that we can keep our extra furniture and extra equipment or what what have you
um in our old studio space. Even though the wing is going to be shut down, right, we will still have access to that room. But it's it's no heat. There will be no heat.
Is it the new old spot or the old old spot near the superintendent's office? The old old spot. Near the superintendent. Oh, no. Not near there. The No, I know there's several spots you've been into. So I wanted the one the one we just moved from
way down. Yeah. Fifth grade. That's how I wouldn't know that. Yeah. So that's what he gave us was our old space. The superintendent's office wasn't available.
He said he has all the rooms. They probably have storage in there. Well, actually that the room near the superintendent that's going to be blocked off. Okay. That whole wing is going to be blocked off, but there will be access to it if we need to get in there.
Okay. Because I was saying there is no access unless you go down that hole. Right. Right. Okay. But you have a spot for now. Wonderful spot for now. Yeah. It's not ideal.
Yes. Yeah. You're in a garage. But it's full of cars to drive. Is there started every month? We received a stream of the LHS football
game versus Fitchburg High School from FATV on 9:26. That was fantastic. I um I had the stream code put into Castis and it streamed right over. Okay.
And we recorded it and we played it. We kept it as well. Yes. So that was really great since doing football games for our videographers is a very expensive ordeal, right? Yeah. We do have two more football games
to do. Um, one is coming up at the end of this week and the other one is the homecoming football game which is on November 1st. Yeah. Um,
Steve and I had a conference call with Castis to review options and pricing for a new server. I provided a copy of the quote they sent to us which you can review. Um, we're going to review it a
little bit closer as time nears. Um, we'd like to purchase a new system uh at the beginning of FY27. It's a very expensive
um piece of machinery. So, but isn't that the central part of the whole? Yes. So, without it, we can't It's our heart. Yeah. It's the heart of it. And the the uh the older one is starting to The older one is holding on right now,
but it's not going to meet new demands. No. And it's nine years old and it's Yeah. End of life. That's that's a tough place to be techwise at the moment. It's in a nursing home. Yeah. Yeah.
Okay. Um Jane Pasco, our um our new videographer has started and she's currently training at Town Hall. She is familiar with Castis and so the training is going really well. It's just getting
used to our process that she's working on. Um Connor Gity resigned this weekend. I received an email. Okay. He's the one who had no time for
this. Exactly. So, he he resigned. Um, and Kayla is back at work. Does that mean September position or not? No, we filled it. Okay. We filled it before the resignation. Okay. So, that was allowed. Good.
Yeah. Yeah. We had a busy month in September. We added 11 new programs including the agricultural fair. So that was that's good news. And um I already
mentioned we have the upcoming homecoming football game and parade on November 1st. Um, as far as the financial reports, unfortunately, August Comcast fee
has not been posted to the account yet. The next fee is quarterly fee is coming in in November. So hopefully we'll get it before November. There is
some disturbance in the finance department as people are leaving. Yes. [Music] Well, there there'll be a payroll vacancy, an assistant accountant
vacancy, and a director of finance right vacancy. So I doubt there's anything much we can do at the moment. But once it stabilizes and settles, then I think we need to meet with them and set a
schedule. Got it. So our balance is 10437860. Yes, sir. And um you can see after the town financial report that the program analysis you can see the 11 programs
added um 37 through 48. started in was it committee confidential? No, that's supposed to start next week. That's next week. So, the studio will be it is supposed to be
you doing it in the studio or you put the place at work in the studio. That's fine. Yeah. Good. Yeah. Good test. Who's that first? Um, I have to confirm. I have to confirm them, but the Council on Aging was
listed as the first, but it's not confirmed yet. Yeah, I have to confirm them, which reminds me, we have way too much fun. And the schedule is the last thing listed as you can see all the different
things we have going on. So there's nothing outstanding right now. So everything looks good. Everything looks good. Um I did send out uh an announcement today to get the videographers scheduled to do the
special town meeting on November 18th. And I got one response so far. Saturday. No, Tuesday the 18th. Yeah. very good about the move. And um
if you need an extra hand, tell me ahead of time and I will come and help you finish the move. I can do that too if you need help finishing the move and tell you. Oh yeah. Okay.
Always ask. Okay, thank you. What was the other thing? Thank you. I'm in charge of my pass. So sometimes I just I'm That's all I have to report.
The other thing is I sent in a warrant. Yes. To Jen, our manager. And it was confusing to her. So she got back to me and I unconfused her and I have not
heard anything since. So as she was the one who created the curiosities in the annual town meeting those numbers I think she had to go back and look at them and realize that we'
probably done the right thing. So I received an email from her on Sunday, yesterday um looking for details of the amounts
that the the amount of funds that we're requesting, the line item. Okay. The purpose of the the full,000. Okay. Well, all of it, the 31,000 and
the 4,000. It's not a sign. They can't kill it. The 31,000 was in the original budget was approved at the annual meeting, right? But because of the way our numbers came together,
we didn't have enough, I'll call it free cash. It's a bad way of putting it. Retained earnings. Well, yeah, but they uh we didn't have enough approved uh to approve our budget.
So, they put 31,276 8 whatever um in the general budget uh which was all approved. Now, all we need is to repay that. So, it wasn't
assigned to any line items. So, I can't help you on that one. Oh, okay. I'll talk to you about it after the meeting. Okay. Yeah. It's not even out of the meeting. No, that's fine. Yeah. I just show you what I had sent
and we'll talk about it. Okay. Okay. I am I am all set if there's any questions. Hearing none, any thanks. Appreciate your work. Okay. And next,
wait a minute. We have someone who wants I texted Faith. Oh, hi Faith. You're muted, Faith. National muted.
You're muted. We should make muted. Okay. Hello. Hey. Hello. Nice to see you. Yeah, I'm not there anymore. Oh boy.
We can see you. We can see you now. Now I think you're muted. Muted again. Now there you go. There you go. Y both of you voice.
Are you well? realiz you you couldn't make the meeting or what's what's happened? Yeah. Um I got held up in traffic coming back from NIC with my sister. So I'm very sorry. Okay.
Thanks for zooming in. Yep. Joe just gave her manager's report. Everything is hunky dory. Excellent. What was her manager's report? Hyory.
All right. Meanwhile, back at the agenda, the master plan update. Uh, I have nothing on that other than the fact we did our work. Uh, we sent it in, it was acknowledged, and
I've heard nothing yet. So, we can wait. I think we might want to leave that on the agenda just as a reminder for the time being. Yep. The studio space update. I believe Joe
gave us a full report on that within her report. Is that right, Joe? Yes. Excellent. Cable advisory committee. Do we have any update on that? Not that I know of. Okay, good. enterprise fund investment status
which I should have uh the quarter ended at the end of September. Um I haven't seen it usually by the time I get it I bring it to the next meeting right a month later so I don't have that one.
Um the next meeting that I have down here is 6:00 on October. Oh that's wrong isn't it? So we have to pick. Yes. The next meeting would be Monday or Tuesday.
That's November the 3 o' in here. What is the date? November the 3. November 3rd. Sudic one of these days. So is there anything else that may look
to be brought before this old test body? Move to adjourn. Move to adjourn. There you go, Brian. Do I have a second? I'll second. Oh, can I can I can we back up for a second? Yeah, sure. Um,
the policies. Oh. Oh, I should have put that in. Um, are we going to create a book and also have electronic so that I can have certain policies put up on our web page? That's what the recommendation was at
our last meeting. Okay. A long time ago. Okay. So maybe next agenda we can at policy I'll put out policy update. One thing would be nice if we can is to
normalize them because they're all written in different styles. You know who does paragraphs who does. So it's fun but we really should try and have that. It's interesting because when I think of normalization I'm thinking of audio files.
Oh. music for word files. That is awesome. So what I think should happen, I think Joe should sign on to chat GPT and run all the policies through that.
So it makes How about that, Joe? I printed them out in this. Oh, I wouldn't even think of doing that at this stage. Do you want to look at this as we normalize them or
let's make sure we have all the right ones? Yeah, let's Yeah, let's do that and select the ones that should be on the web page and then we can go into edit for for
consistency. Yeah. Okay. So as the motion is still to adjourn y no discussion and as we have one committee member on zoom we do it very well.
Yes please. Say yes. Faith. Yes. There we go. Thank you. Yes. And me. Let's uh turn the recording up. Thank you. Bye.
Nice to see you. Yes.
