Town Reports

Simsbury: Karen reported that tomorrow evening will be the ribbon cutting for the newly renovated SCM studio. 

Windsor: Charles reported the winter afterschool program for middle schoolers is starting. Kid Vid registration opens Feb 1st. PEGPETIA grant will focus on finishing the fiber project. Fiber is run, still need encoders and switch. Will upgrade to a new server.

West Hartford: Roger reported that this is a very busy time because of additional special Zoning meetings and Martin Luther King Day Celebration activities. Jen is not at tonight’s meeting because there are three sporting events tonight.

Bloomfield: Alan reported all quiet in Bloomfield. Zenobia added all is well.

East Hartford: No report.

Hartford: No report.

Chairman’s Report:  Dick brought up whether we would consider an in-person meeting and the concern of Covid, and RSV was raised, and it was agreed to wait and consider meeting in-person again in the spring or summer.

COMCAST: No report.

Statewide Advisory Council: Alan indicated they have also had very little participation in in-person meetings and most prefer via Zoom.

Old Business: None

New Business: Charles will find out how HACTAC can set-up a payment method and open a Zoom account. He would like to set-up a method to streamline the payment processes.

At this point in the meeting, the Zoom ended. Some members had logged into tonight’s free Zoom early and therefore took time away from our allotted meeting time.

Karen restarted the meeting and Alan, Charles, Dick & Zenobia rejoined. It was agreed to move forward with a paid Zoom account for the next meeting on March 15th.

The group has received two resignations from members Candace Fisher and Claudette Miller. A motion was made by Zenobia and second by Alan to accept their resignations. Motion passed. Dick has sent letters to West Hartford and East Hartford to remind them to replace their members.

Adjournment:  As there was no additional business to come before the Board, a motion was made by Alan and second by Charles to adjourn the meeting. Meeting was adjourned at 7:15 pm.

Next Meeting:

The next meeting, date TBD, will be via Zoom at 7:00 pm. Karen will send out an email to poll everyone to be sure we have a quorum, so please respond.
