1. Referred from Workshop – Proposed Policy PEG Channel Access: Karel asked Carter to proceed with his presentation on this proposed policy. In a Power Point presentation, Carter first explained the reasoning for the Selectmen to develop the Public, Education, Government Access Channel policy. Recurring events require a framework, providing consistency without singularism or favoritism. The goal in developing the policy is to eliminate legal problems for the Town and its’ residents. Carter stated that he reviewed other town’s policies and he was able to put together a policy that fit Moultonborough. He added that Meredith and Tilton contract with Lakes Region Public Access and therefore their policies were not on line to view. The Selectmen have worked on at least six drafts which have been reviewed by staff, Town Counsel, Time Warner and the School Board.

V. PUBLIC MEETING:
1. Dorothy Solomon, Candidate for Carroll County Commissioner: Ms. Solomon introduced herself to the Selectmen, reminding them that she ran two years ago for the same office. If elected, the emphasis will be to bring stability and discussion between the commissioner and the delegation. Ms. Solomon will focus on the county’s nursing home and providing a place of dignity for the residents. Another area of focus is on the county jail and decreasing the cost that occurs with the high rate of repeat offenders. In order to do this when a prisoner is released, the county must ensure a place to live, employment, treatment for substance abuse and mental health issues. Ms. Solomon concluded that if elected she will manage the county prudently.
2. Hollis Austin presented his letter to the Selectmen, reading it into the Minutes, repeating his concern of the lack of public access to broadcast on Time Warner Cable (see attached)....
