Summary
At its April 13 meeting, the Bolingbrook BCT Commission assigned crew roles for Arbor Day coverage, set times for the event, approved a timeline to test and go live with ADA closed captioning on April 24, and reviewed a pilot show titled 'Bolingbrook Community Challenge.' The commission also recorded routine procedural motions.
The Bolingbrook BCT Commission met April 13 and set production plans for several spring and early‑summer programs, including Arbor Day coverage, the Wednesday Night Concerts series and a pilot TV show. Village staff and commissioners also discussed testing and rolling out ADA closed captioning for BCTV broadcasts.
Commissioner Gabriel Fonseca said he will serve as producer for Arbor Day on April 25; Monte Larrick, Marcie Spencer, Flo Kolecyck‑Yap and Aamer Abdul‑Jaleel were assigned to divide coverage roles among the crew. The minutes list the Arbor Day schedule as tree planting at 10:00 a.m. and a main event from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
The commission discussed planning for the Wednesday Night Concerts series and recorded a kickoff date of June 3. Commissioners agreed to continue brainstorming programming and logistics for that series.
Village Staff David Tomsky told the commission he will test closed‑caption broadcasting during the week of the meeting, with a target date to go live on April 24. Commissioners discussed ideas for making ADA closed‑captioning edits sustainable in regular programming.
Members reviewed a new show concept, tentatively titled "Bolingbrook Community Challenge," intended to feature village leaders, business owners and residents in a studio trivia format for broadcast on BCTV. The commission set a crew availability acknowledgement form due April 20 and adopted a goal to produce four to five pilot shows through mid‑June, with sessions to assign roles and responsibilities and clarify tasks for a pilot production.
Procedural actions recorded in the minutes include a motion by Commissioner Ed Przyzycki, seconded by Monte Larrick, to approve the meeting agenda (the minutes state "Motion passes"); a motion by Aamer Abdul‑Jaleel, seconded by Mike Jacobs, to approve the March 9, 2026 minutes (the record does not state the outcome); and a motion by Flo Kolecyck‑Yap, seconded by Mike Jacobs, to adjourn at 8:29 p.m. (the minutes state "all were in favor"). The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, May 11, 2026, at 7:30 p.m.
The minutes list village staff Eva Koureta as present and reflect staff involvement in implementing captioning and production planning.
