Received a copy of the Simsbury TV station report to PURA on February 21. So far they are the only ones that have sent a copy to HACTAC. Dick reminded members to ask their station managers to make sure they send him a copy of their reports.
Received check from Comcast for $2000.00.
HACTAC sent their annual report to PURA.
This advisory council has not been doing much over the last 6 months. Do we want to enforce the requirement of all station managers to attend the meetings when we are in their towns. Not all have been.
Penny feels that HACTAC should do their own promo and give it to the stations to run. Possibly make this one of the goals of the Board.
Karen suggested we have the website updated.
Dick asked the Board members to think about it and come up with some tips and goals to promote HACTAC.
Ken Picard volunteered to keep the website up to date. Ken suggested that we make it easy for someone to edit the page.
A motion was made by Bill Stephenson and second by Penny Leto to have Ken take over the HACTAC website. Motion passed.
