Other members of the Commission are Stan Zak, Lori Hecker, Myron Pollock and Pam Kaplow. Mr. Berbaum introduced Kevin Lauth, a Cable Expert who helped to develop the Government Access Channel. Mr. Bernbaum mentioned that the Commission is looking into the issue of the Franchise Renewal Agreement, which is up in 1992. Mr. Bernbaum explained that if the Government Access Channel is not used, it will be lost. It is a vital means of communication which can be used to extend communication to the residents regarding recycling, school closings, meeting notices and also traffic conditions. Kevin Lauth has done a study on the type of equipment necessary to accomplish this. After studying other communities, the Commission feels the Village Administrator is probably not the best person to operate the equipment. Most communities have a designated person or part-time person. A video tape explaining the Village recycling program was then viewed. It was produced in cooperation with Mona Klein from the Blind Brook High School and Kevin Lauth. A Commodore Amiga System is proposed to meet the Village's (.able- casting needs. Trustee Ravich questioned if the Amiga was comparable to the Apple Computer. Kevin Lauth replied that the Apple Mac II would cost about $6,000.00, while the Amiga is half the cost. Trustee Ravich then questioned if the system could be easily learned, as we did not have a full time person to do this. Kevin then stated that he could show someone the basics within half an hour. After the Board viewed a video demonstrating the Amiga System, Trustee Filipowski questioned the cost of the items mentioned on the Amiga System Video Tape. Kevin stated the cost of the system would be $10,000.00. Peter Bernbaum interjected that the Commission's recommendation is much less than that amount. Kevin mentioned that the computer can always be upgraded and the Village would not have a need for animation. For about $3500.00 he said the Village could get what it currently needed. The Commission recommended a part time person for the purpose of creating programming and handling the Amiga System. They feel that High School students may be used to do this or a volunteer may be solicited. Peter Bernbaum indicated that UA Columbia will be asked to donate some of this equipment. With regards to the recycling tape, Kevin thought the students did an excellent job. The graphics were done with the Amiga. Music in the background can be purchased for purposes of future production, without infringing on copyrights. -2- 00158 r \ March 13, 1990 RESOLUTIONS 1.
