Ken Norman, Board of Directors for Franklin TV
a fair amount of new equipment
an upgrade sent to the device, meanwhile the device was beeping to ask for a reset; no longer will do updates remotely; small policy change for good benefits
separate system for the PA so it can be used without TV
someone had turned off the PA and an additional switch within the system to send the signal to the station; change to be made so it can't be turned off that way in the future
training was done on the system, more training and documentation coming
additional upgrades coming to the room to make it easier to do presentation
got the basic system up and running properly, installed in August
hopefully the operator errors are behind us
Note: The recording for the Town Council meeting is available from Franklin Matters and via iTunes

Rossesli and Clark, performed financial risk assessment
strong performance, well versed in professions
no struggle between schools and town, as opposed to other communities
a lot of collaboration between the two groups
copy of risk assessment in docs released
town is ranked near the top of all other assessments
a growing trend to have appointed rather than elected position, it is a risk to have an unqualified person in a position; hence recommendation to have the Town Clerk appointed; it is a lower risk but a risk
schedule a follow up - update in Mar/April
phishing simulations program starting
