Manager: Jo Toale Public Comments: - None Committee Comments: - None Communications: • Steve Walker has been attempting to contact the Town Manager re: PACC motion of prior meeting to re-define the Manager’s position. It appears that the change has been made without the expected salary adjustment; Chairman Walker will communicate with Town Manager as to the change not being in line with the motion passed by PACC. • Chairman Walker reports that he presented a summary to Select Board on 11/28/23 of all of the good work that PACC has been doing over the past year; Select Board seemed pleased with the report. Select Board Chair Jeffreys noted that what matters most is to have a schedule for PAC new space, as this has been going on for a long time. • A letter from Xfinity to PACC was shared, noting that the PAC channels have been changed. This letter had not been seen by PACC as it was filed away by Town personnel. The letter includes phone numbers for emergency and trouble reporting procedures, to Xfinity 'Excellence Operations Center’, most likely to be used by PAC Manager J.Toale. Paul Sarapas asked what channel numbers were changed. Channel 99 got changed to channel 22. Apparently Xfinity changed numbers for multiple local access stations throughout the state without informing staff. PAC Bulletin boards show the updated changes.
