MINUTES

 

13 December 2000 Called Meeting  12:30 PM

 

          The called meeting of the Electronic Village of Abingdon “91^st Day” Subcommittee held in the Johnston Memorial Hospital Cafeteria was opened by Dr. F. H. Moore, Jr., Chairman.  There were ten participants present.  These included:

 

Dr. F. H. Moore, Jr., Chairman	Al Bradley, Secretary
Eric Schuler	John Mongle
Ray Millsap	Mathew Matt
Jack White	Bill Chaffin
Jay Cox	Jeff Webb

 

          The minutes of the 29 November 2000 meeting were approved as presented.

 

          The next items for review was the status of new connections, including:

 

NAME	ADDRESS	COST	STATUS
Campbell Funeral Home, Inc.	250 E. Main St.	N/A	Complete
Robert M. Howard	122 W. Valley St.	N/A	Awaiting applicant

 

The extension to the proposed new Police Department and recreation complex is underway, but again, no further reportable progress has been made.

 

          The main reason for this called meeting was to discuss a request received recently from Joe Overholt who is starting an Internet Service Provider business to be located at 205 W. Main St. and serving a sizeable area.  Mr. Overholt reports that the business would require 47 phone lines for 56 K and ISDN services.  The business is in need of 48 IP addresses and bandwidth to handle 50Kbits/second.  It was noted that the E V A Application for Service currently contains a statement for the customer to sign that says; “I agree such service is for my sole use and is not to be resold, and to use network services in a responsible manner”.  Therefore, E V A has no obligation to provide such service for any large-scale user.  Following discussion of the matter, motion was made by Jack White, seconded by Bill Chaffin that Mr. Bradley is instructed to reply to Mr. Overholt that

E V A was not prepared to offer the requested services and that we would encourage his obtaining service from NetAccess.

 

          There followed a discussion of the Rate Pricing structure and updating this fee schedule to apply to the amount of bandwidth that a particular customer might be using.  Jay Cox, Mathew Matt and Eric Schuler were assigned to look into this and propose an alternative pricing structure from that which is now in use.

 

          The next EVA meeting will not be held on the normal last Wednesday meeting date, but will be held on January 3, 2001.  There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 1:55 PM.

 

Respectfully Submitted,

 

Albert C. Bradley,

Secretary
