Meeting opened at 6:45 PM
Brenda was on the phone with MediaOne until 6 PM today discussing contract changes. She had copious notes
concerning the paragraphs involved to be considered at this meeting for the meeting with the Selectmen tomorrow.
Sally Hoyt joined the meeting after 7 PM to question the removal of the "COURT TV" channel by MediaOne and
asked whether MediaOnc and/or other "PROVIDERS" might alleviate such problems in the future. The committee
members explained the situation as best possible with the limited information available to them.
The November 20th DRAFT of the proposed contract was discussed in detail with all the latest agreements made
with Brenda while on the Phone just prior to this meeting. Although most of the sections were considered, the
bulk of the discussion involved the specific changes made since the last version of the DRAFT.
Jim Biller made a motion to: Approve the contract as amended subject verification of the verbal changes that
were discussed at this meeting.
The motion was seconded and approved 6-0-0 (all members present).
Brenda has received two formal applications for the Board of Directors for the Reading Access Television
(RATV) corporation.

Meeting of November 10th, Tuesday, amended and approved.
Meeting of November 18th, Wednesday; approved as read.

Respectfully submitted,
