The
Community Needs Assessment (2002) identified weakness
in the Branford System P.E.G. Model. Some were not resolved
with franchise outcomes:
- lack
of consensus among the seven towns on how Community
Access should be handled
- inadequate
financial reporting
- desire
for expanded services without a solid organizational
infrastructure
Also,
the elimination of the Cable Company run Community Access
Facility (TV21) increased compliance requirements for
the established Town Community Access Operations. These
requirements focused on operating hours and overall
readiness to support the communities expected sevice
levels.
Full compliance necessitates action
on these deliverables:
- Community
non-profit Board Training and Development/reources
- identification
of Shared Services Options: Partnering, Merging or
Policy Changes
- Financial
Reporting Guidelines
- Recommendations
for Bylaw and Community Access Policy Updates
