Treasurer’s Report:
See Attached. Charles provided this summary:
2 CDs approx. 11K made 25 cents interest.
Would like to move money to a higher interest account with the advice of a bank representative. Charles will invite someone to the next meeting to discuss options.
Alan stated when the 11-month CD matures on 2/5 to move the money into the checking account.
Charles is expecting the annual check from Comcast, usually delivered to Dick. Alan will talk to Matt to set up a direct deposit.
The Checking Acct Balance of $7,311.74 is same as last month.
A motion was made by Dave and seconded by Alan to accept the Treasurer’s report subject to audit. Motion passed.
The HACTAC website is currently down.
After some discussion Patty made the motion seconded by Dave to have HostingCT fix the HACTAC website spending no more than $500.
Patty & Karen will take a look to see if the software can be updated first. If that doesn’t help, Karen will get the site fixed.
Comcast: no report
Town Reports
Bloomfield: Alan/Zenobia reported nothing notable happening at BATV.
Windsor: Patricia reported Kidvid summer program registration opens Feb 1. A 6-week program for kids 8 to15. This is their 16th year.
WinTV is in their final weeks of Comcast Fiber upgrade installation.
They are busy with community events and new studio shows.
East Hartford: Brenda reported EHCT is still located in the makeshift closet in the community center. The town Hall renovation is taking longer than anticipated. The hope is to stay at the community center once the town employees return to Town Hall. Coverage of live meetings (except BOE Meetings) is still being done even though the cabling for broadcast has been disturbed at Town Hall; which Chuck needs to address weekly.
Simsbury: no report
West Hartford: no report
Hartford: no report.
Statewide Advisory Council: Alan reported the most recent discussions have been about increased funding for public access channels.
