1) The November 30th meeting minutes were discussed and approved as
submitted by a 4 - 0 vote. Jim Liston and Richard Cohen had not
yet joined the meeting.
The Town Survey Sub-committee presented initial data and discussed
the data and the sub-committee's feelings about the Town's needs.
An addition to the data will be made as soon as results are back from
the Town Manager, the Board of Selectmen, and the RMLD.
Mike Longo said that the Assesors office would like to use a channel
on the I-Loop as a direct link to the Police. A hidden button they could
press to silently request police assistance when citizens become
exceedingly irrate.
Next meeting the Town Survey Sub-committee will have a question and
answer session to address any questions or issues the main committee
may have. Richard Cohen, chairman of the sub-committee, will present
the conclusions that the sub-committee drew from the sub-committee's
interviews and from the data collected.
3) Mark Cloutier reported on the status of the School Survey Sub-commitee.
The sub-committee is waiting for feedback from the School Department's
Technology Task Force, from the students using the studio at the RMHS,
and from Joe Cain.
