[Amended 5-7-2022 ATM by Art. 24]
The name of the organization shall be the "Public Access Cable
Committee," herein referred to as "PACC." The Select Board activated
and appointed PACC in July 2007 to assist with the development of
Lunenburg TV Channels 8, 9 and 99.
The Committee was created for the purpose of establishing a
local access TV station operating on cable for the Town of Lunenburg.
PACC is to oversee programming in areas of public affairs, education,
entertainment and Town government. PACC shall be responsible for the
formulation and promulgation of policy directives and guidelines for
the operation of PACC; provided, however, that nothing in this section
shall be construed to authorize any member of PACC, nor a majority
of such members, to become involved in the day-to-day administration
of the Lunenburg Public Access.
[Amended 5-7-2022 ATM by Art. 24]
The PACC may consider amendments or alterations to these bylaws
at either a regular or special PACC meeting. In either case, notification
of the meeting and its purpose shall be given 14 days prior to the
assembly. The notice shall include a summary of the proposed amendment,
the full text of the proposed amendment or alteration, and a statement
of the purpose of the proposed change. The proposed amendment must
be approved by a majority vote of PACC. It will then be sent to the
Lunenburg Select Board for approval and, if so approved, for insertion
in the warrant and be submitted to the next Town Meeting for approval.
This protocol applies only to the PACC's ability to initiate changes
to these bylaws, and is not intended to usurp the rights given to
registered voters of the Town specified in MGL c. 39, § 10.
The Town Manager shall appoint or hire staff as is necessary
to meet programming, content and/or operational requirements. The
Town Manager will consult with the PACC and Program Director for their
input prior to making such appointments.
