2012-01-30T08:15:00.001-05:00

In two parts. Agenda

About part 1 - WGATV was not able to cover the 1/25 program at the Senior Center. Emergency communications. Events magazine proposal. BRS Building Committee update. No further word about a Jenick Lane street light. Public Comment.

About part 2 - Begins after public comment. Progress of tree removal, to prevent more power outages within town. Appointments to Country Club of Woodbridge Commission, to CUPOP. Regular financial report (with interruptions for a special BOF meeting on a funding request). Liaison reports.

WGATV tried to cover a 1/20 meeting of the Country Club of Woodbridge Commission, which ran almost 6 hours. Patching up our current year's budget may be insufficient for further recordings of any but the highest priority meetings.

The informational meeting on the Toll Brothers proposal on a segment of the Country Club of Woodbridge ran almost 3 hours last night.

It is also in the DVD carousel with other CCW-related meetings overnight, 12midnight - 6am on Thursday & Friday.

October Selectmen on YouTube

2011-10-31T13:00:00.000-04:00

It took 3-4 hours to process the files to load on the WGATV video server for scheduled replay. It took another 6 hours of computer time (sometimes interrupted) to upload these files to YouTube so it could be seen by people who do not have cable and could not get the single copy of this meeting at the library reference desk.

This program comes in four parts of varying lengths. Part One is mainly Supt. Stella's report on Beecher Road School, with some silent footage before the audio setting was corrected, before the Board went into Executive Session:

Part Two is the public vote on a union contract before the return to Executive Session:

Part Three follows the Executive Session and consists mainly of the Toll Brothers presentation and the public comment which followed:

Part Four is remaining monthly business, the Finance Director's report and liaison reports:

If WGATV were part of emergency planning

2011-10-29T13:17:00.002-04:00

Other PEGs are synched with their community emergency operations, getting those messages on the TV, letting people know where the downed power lines and slow/closed roads are. Of course, this would happen if (a) everyone still had power so they could watch TV and (b) someone could get the information on the TV screen.

But we can dream....

In the meantime, Woodbridge, check your old, soon-to-be-replaced town website & note that there's a parking ban until noon tomorrow. Stay safe, stay warm...

This weekend and next Tuesday

2011-10-17T12:02:00.001-04:00

Last Friday we learned that our submission to the 2011 Video Festival, sponsored by the Northeast Chapter of the Alliance for Community Media, took 3rd place for "Issues and Political Process" in the professional category. Our submission was the recording of March 29 FOI workshop held in Woodbridge Town Hall, entitled Another Look at the Freedom of Information Act, or The Return of Tom Hennick!

The chapter includes all the New England states plus New York. The ACM-NE website is (no surprise) www.acm-ne.org. We are on page 2 of the list of winners for this year. This is the second time we have submitted entries to this Festival. We couldn't have produced it without the students working production for us!

No, no YouTube

2011-10-13T14:23:00.001-04:00

Back in 2007, we learned about Google Video, which allowed us to upload files up to 3 hours long. Along with Orange Govt. Access TV, Milford Govt. Access TV, Cheshire Govt. TV, Woodbridge New Jersey Govt. Access TV... and who knows how many others in the world, we managed to kill the goose & its golden eggs in less than 12 months.

We are exploring other FREE hosts for internet video and livestreaming, but we are not there yet. Recently Google sent a warning message that they are taking down all the old Google Video content & we should move it if we wanted it to be available.

As always, DVD copies of any meeting successfully recorded are available at the library. Sometimes it takes a day or two for the staff there to tag them & get them to the Reference Desk for the public. We do this as fast as we can.

DVDs back on

2011-10-13T11:23:00.000-04:00

WGATV apologizes for programming going out at midnight due to a slip of the finger during the scheduling process. The cycle is back, as described in the "10/12" post.

This week's program will be available...

2011-10-12T21:23:00.003-04:00

October TPZ program

2011-10-04T20:51:00.002-04:00

We believe the program was successfully cablecast live, however by missing one small setting on the DVR, recording failed. We note that most of the items on the agenda (not yet available online) were continued to the November meeting, including the controversial application to change regulations (the Oak Lane Country Club item). An hour was devoted to an application for business signage toward the #1 Bradley Road complex. This was also continued to November, pending investigation of scientific data about human perception while driving and size of lettering on signs.

WGATV bitterly regrets the failure to record.

Missing the Woodbridge BOE?

2011-09-27T12:50:00.002-04:00

WGATV experienced a new form of equipment failure at the September 19 meeting of the Woodbridge Board of Education. Since we do not now have that meeting to put on channel 79, we will use the Superintendent's PowerPoint presentation on CT Mastery Test results in the coming days.

A similar equipment set-up for the 9/26 Recreation Commission meeting was successful, so we hope that we will not lose another recording in future--at least not this way.

Addendum to Monday, September 19

Sept. Selectmen (9/14) @ 10pm

Coming soon

2011-09-13T16:03:00.002-04:00

Today we just received our copy of the September Amity BOE meeting, which runs under 1:30hr--a short one this month. We may run it right after the BOS meeting on Wednesday, if the back-up DVD play is cooperating; the newer machine will be out for a couple of weeks for warranty (hurray!) repair.

We successfully recorded the dedication ceremony for the September 11, 2001 memorial at the Fire Station. It will take some time to edit, but we will have it on TV, in the library, etc. as soon as possible.

You may have noticed that the key meetings for this second week of September are clustered into Wednesday-Thursday. These will be scheduled as soon as possible, in order of the priority established since the ancient days of GATVOC: Selectmen, Finance, ABOE TPZ, Conservation. Have mercy on us, good folk.

9/14 - 9/16: Looking forward

That TPZ meeting...

2011-09-08T11:21:00.002-04:00

The special Town Plan & Zoning meeting on Sept. 6 will be on TV as soon as possible, but maybe not as soon as people would like. Our DVD carousel is out for repair for at least 2 weeks. The back-up machine is not reliable & loading long meetings onto the video server takes more time than we normally have. So we won't be able to play it back this Friday, as we would normally like.

A DVD copy will be sent to the library by next Monday evening.

People interested in the continued hearings (please note: more than one) should watch for a posting of another TPZ special on Thursday, Sept. 15 at 7:30pm, after the regular Board of Finance meeting. By this scheduling, the office staff will be able to use the regular audio equipment and WGATV will be able to carry it live on channel 79.

past & present: 9/6 - 9/8

Wednesday, September 7 - Thursday, September 8

Scheduling necessarily identical to schedule for August 31-September 1, with live camera in the wee hours. See "8/26 - 9/2," below.

Labor Day weekend

2011-09-02T11:22:00.004-04:00

If you can read this, you can probably access the town website to find out the latest update in hurricane recovery, power restoration, where to go for showers and water, etc. If you neighbors are still in the dark, please pass the information on! The transfer station will be open this Sunday for a change, 8:30am - 3pm, but closed for Monday, Labor Day.

The WGATV schedule for Saturday, September 3 thru Monday, September 5 will necessarily be the same as for 8/27 - 8/29, but we updated the calendar of non-meeting items ("What to Do besides Watching TV..."), like movies and programs.

The schedule for Tuesday, September 6 will be adjusted so that the Town Plan & Zoning regular meeting can go out live.

Overnight programming

2011-09-01T10:13:00.002-04:00

We will continue the live camera overnight for a while. Although the Onkyo 6-DVD player was connected to a UPS surge protector, it has frozen up & will not even eject the discs it contains. It is not responding to reset procedures. Scheduled programming from the video server 6am to nighttime is operating as previously noted.
