RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL
None at this time.
SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Hoerschelman said contact information for each of the access channels should be available on the City
Channel website. Hardy said he has contacted a realtor to look for potential locations for ajoint
PATV /City facility. The Eastdale /Sycamore Mall area is one area that may be a good choice. Hardy
said it needs to be determined how much it would cost to sell PATV's facility, the operational costs of
a new facility, and develop a process to resolve any disagreements on the operations of ajoint facility.
Hardy suggested that a facilities board made up of representatives or the City, PATV and the
Commission could be established to resolve any disagreements. Hardy said together the City and
PATV will lose about 50% of their current funding in 6 years. A joint facility budget reflecting a 50-
60% reduction over the current budgets needs to be developed with the savings between now and 6
years put in a reserve fund for future use. Hardy said his goal is to have a cost schedule for 4
scenarios —PATV moving into the City facility, the City moving into PATV's facility, a new facility,
and modification to the City or PATV facility. Hardy said it is his goal to have a decision made on the
future of the relationship between the City and PATV by March 1 when PATV's contract extension
expires. Bergus asked if the anticipated savings from ajoint facility will meet the goal of reducing
expenditures by 60 %. Hardy said he did not know. Hardy said he has recommended that his position
be eliminated after he retires. Bergus asked if other savings such as purchasing lower quality
equipment and efficiencies in equipment utilization in a combined facility have been considered.
Hardy said that some tasks such as managing playback of the two channels has been considered and
other tasks might also be consolidated. Bergus said the job of the Commission should be to advocate
for the local access channels and the Commission should not be content to proceed down a path of
least resistance. Hoerschelman said that the Commission could help raise awareness of local access
operations in the community within the process of managing future changes. Bergus said the City
Channel has increased the amount of productions that promote the public relations needs of the City
and that given the strain on future funds it might be a good time to make a pitch for the City Channel to
receive some money from the general fund. Hoerschelman reviewed the lists of tasks to be completed
before the broadband survey can be initiated.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Bergus moved and Kilburg seconded a motion to approve the November 26, 2012 minutes. The
motion passed unanimously.
ANNOUNCEMENTS OF COMMISSIONERS
None.
SHORT PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS
None.
CONSUMER ISSUES
Hoerschelman noted there was a complaint report in the meeting packet. All the complaints have been
resolved.
MEDIACOM REPORT
No representative was present. Hoerschelman said that he switched to Mediacom for Internet and
phone service and was incorrectly charged for a modem and /or wireless router fees.
LOCAL ACCESS CHANNELS REPORTS
The City Channel, the library, and the Senior Center provided a written report for the meeting packet.
PATV had a written report distributed at the meeting. Hoerschelman asked about the University of
Iowa providing a report. Hardy said he did not know who replaced McBride as the representative for
UITV. Hoerschelman said he would like to get written reports from the University and that the ITS
help desk help could route a call to the appropriate person. Hoerschelman said that contact
information for each of the access channels should be available on the City Channel website. Hardy
said he would see that they are included. Coleman said City Channel 4 will be cablecasting a summer
music marathon over the New Year period.
CABLE TV ADMINISTRATOR REPORT
Hardy said the only thing he had to report would be covered in the next agenda item.
JOINT ACCESS FACILITY
Hardy said he has contacted a realtor to look for potential locations for a joint PATV /City facility. The
Eastdale /Sycamore Mall area is one area that may be a good choice. Hardy said it needs to be
determined how much it would cost to sell PATV's facility, the operational costs of a new facility, and
develop a process to resolve any disagreements on the operations of a joint facility. Hardy suggested
that a facilities board made up of representatives or the City, PATV and the Commission could be
established to resolve any disagreements. Hardy said together the City and PATV will lose about 50%
of their current funding in 6 years. A joint facility budget reflecting a 50 -60% reduction over the
current budgets needs to be developed with the savings between now and 6 years put in a reserve fund
for future use. Hardy said his goal is to have a cost schedule for 4 scenarios —PATV moving into the
City facility, the City moving into PATV's facility, a new facility, and modification to the City or
PATV facility. Hoerschelman asked if there was any role the Commission could play. Hardy said not
at this time. Hardy said it is his goal to have a decision made on the future of the relationship between
the City and PATV by March 1 when PATV's contract extension expires. Bergus asked if the
anticipated savings from ajoint facility will meet the goal of reducing expenditures by 60 %. Hardy
said he did not know. Hardy said he has recommended that his position be eliminated after he retires.
Bergus asked if other savings such as purchasing lower quality equipment and efficiencies in
equipment utilization in a combined facility have been considered. Hardy said that some tasks such as
managing playback of the two channels has been considered and other tasks might also be
consolidated. The City Cable TV Office could rent for as much as $20 per square foot. Rental costs in
the Sycamore Mall area are about $8 per square foot. Bergus said the job of the Commission should be
to advocate for the local access channels and the Commission should not be content to proceed down a
path of least resistance. Hoerschelman said that the Commission could help raise awareness of local
access operations in the community within the process of managing future changes. Bergus said the
City Channel has increased the amount of productions that promote the public relations needs of the
City and that given the strain on future funds it might be a good time to make a pitch for the City
Channel to receive some money from the general fund.
BROADBAND SURVEY
Hoerschelman reviewed the lists of tasks to be completed before the survey can be initiated. Hardy
said he has yet to forward the survey URL to ITS for review. Bran said drafting an email to survey
testers could easily be done when the survey instrument has been finalized. Hoerschelman has
modified the language explaining the goals and purpose of the survey and has forwarded to Hardy.
Hardy said the City administration has no objection to conducting the survey. Hoerschelman has
initiated the process to send out a mass email to the University staff but a final decision will take some
time for the University. Brau said he has the information needed to put a flier in the water bills. Hardy
said he has not yet contacted Mediacom about putting a flier in their bills. Hoerschelman said he has
identified several firms that conduct telephone marketing surveys but it is premature to request bids.
Hoerschelman said a question asking respondents how they found out about the survey will be added.
Hoerschelman asked if a promotional PSA might be produced and cablecast. Hardy said Coleman
could provide assistance with a PSA.
BOARD AND COMMISSION TRANING
Hoerschelman said that he and Bergus attended a previous training session. That session mainly
provided greater clarification and detail on issues with which they were already knowledgeable.
Kilburg said he would be interested in attending any future training sessions.
ADJOURNMENT
Kilburg moved and Homewood seconded a motion to adjourn. The motion was approved unanimously
The meeting was adjourned at 6:33 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,

Programming and Interactive Services
Website:
CitychanneWcom received 12,629 visits from 6,318 unique visitors, who looked at 17,308 pages.
Our most popular sites were; Mediacom's channel lineup, our streaming video page (up from
number 3 last quarter), Mediacom's cable rate page, our homepage, our program schedule and
our access program schedule at Press - Citizen.com.
Streaming Media:
Our streaming media service provider reports that on our original (version 3) streaming site,
our live stream was accessed 618 times, and our streaming media was accessed 6,812 times.
On our new (version 4) server, we have new breakdowns of those hits available. There were
1,325 sessions generating 7,754 On Demand hits. On Demand hits are generated whenever
the playback head is changed (skipped ahead or back, or clicked another index point), so on
average, a person watching a video would have looked at 6 different parts of it.
Playback:
In this quarter, we played 293 different programs. 246 local programs were played a total of 3,120
times for 2,054 hours of total play. 47 imported programs were played back 362 times for 125
hours of total play.
Notable Accomplishments:
All of our On Demand videos created in 2012 have now been switched over to our updated
streaming media service. (Our video quality is so good that our streaming media provider
contacted us to see how we were doing it). The new improved web page interface on our
citychannel4.com /video page is still under development, and we hope to have it online soon.
Media Unit
Programs Produced:
In this quarter, the Media Unit produced six City Council Meetings, one Riverfront Crossings
Project, one Metropolitan Planning Organization of Johnson County (MPO of JC) Urbanized
Area Policy Board Meeting, one Human Rights Awards Ceremony, two Meet the Candidates
programs, one League of Women Voters of Johnson County Justice Center Forum, one
Iowa House Candidate Forum, one Fire Prevention Week presentation, one Ad Hoc Diversity

Community Television Service (CTS)
In October, November, and December of 2012, the CTS completed the production of a total of
41 programs. Productions included: lectures and presentations, informational panels, community
forums, a concert, a reading, a theatrical performance, annual awards and recognition programs,
and more. The CTS worked with over 25 non - profit organizations within this quarter.
In October, a video project for Iowa City's Shelter House was completed and shown to an
audience of over 450 community members at an event at the Englert Theatre. The video was
created by CTS staff in collaboration with the Shelter House Endowment Committee and sought
to inform the community about the work that Shelter House does and to dispel some of the myths
commonly believed about the people they serve.
In November, the CTS was asked by the Iowa City Area Chamber of Commerce to create a
short video to be included in its presentation to representatives of the Blue Zones Project as it
sought to be selected as Iowa's next demonstration site. The Blue Zones Project is defined as
a comprehensive well -being improvement initiative. The video illustrated how Iowa City might
be changed as a result of being selected. The CTS also provided complete coverage of the full
presentation.
In December, the CTS recorded the 19th biennial multiple piano festival concert for the Preucil
School of Music. This unique concert showcases the talents of a wide range of student ages and
ability levels and features performances using five pianos at once. Later in 2013, the CTS will be
covering the school's annual string concert as well as its orchestra festival.
At the end of this report, find a complete listing* of Community Television Service programs
produced during this quarter.
Features and Information Unit
During this quarter, the Features and Information Unit completed seven original programs * *,
repackaged three pre- existing segments from past shows into evergreen programs, created
two episodic promos, and thirteen weekly promos highlighting programs currently playing on
City Channel 4. Extended versions of the two Iowa City In Focus spotlight interviews were also
produced and made available for viewing via streaming video.
Also produced through the Features and Information Unit were two PSAs, one to promote
attendance at the 2012 Scrabble for the Schools event - a fundraiser for the Iowa City Community
School District Foundation, and a second PSA to demonstrate how to make a Blue Zones pledge
and gamer support of the Iowa City's Blue Zones application.
Iowa City In Focus episodes produced this quarter featured segments highlighting the Northside
Oktoberfest, Scrabble for the Schools, the Crisis Center's Project Holiday, and recent updates
and construction projects at the Iowa City Municipal Airport. City Manager Tom Markus finished
his run as interviewer for the monthly spotlight interview during the October episode of Iowa
City In Focus, so a new system was established this quarter to give opportunities to active
community members to serve as interviewee one month and as interviewer the next month.
For the November episode, Iowa City In Focus host Mary Bryant interviewed Nancy Bird, the
executive director of the Iowa City Downtown District, about her new position and the activities
of the organization. Nancy Bird then served as interviewer in the December episode and talked
to Liz Christiansen, the director of the University of Iowa's Office of Sustainability, about her
department's mission.
This quarter, the Features and Information Unit continued to develop and acquire footage for
the Iowa City Community Promotion Video project in cooperation with the City's Communication
Office. Production is still ongoing and will likely wrap in late Spring 2013. The video will be
featured on the City website with the goal of demonstrating why Iowa City is such a great city in
which to live, work, and play.
Also in development and production this quarter was a new series, Eyes on /C, which features
City employee Adam Bentley as he investigates the various activities and duties of City
departments and divisions. The first episode of the series was filmed in December 2012 and is
currently in post - production.

Report prepared for the Iowa City Telecommunications Commission monthly meeting by Beth Fisher, Program Librarian
and Bond Drager, Equipment Specialist. January 2013
The Library Channel Monthly Update:
The Iowa City Public Library maintains a regular schedule of reviewing all Library Policies. Recently a committee has
been established to reexamine our Library Channel policies with regard to the cablecasting and internet streaming of
children's events and storytimes that contain readings of copyrighted children's material. ICPL is one of the few Public
Libraries in the nation that uses cable to extend our Childrens' programming to a wider audience, and as such our
policies have addressed this issue for many years. The review committee is currently gathering information regarding
other libraries' policies on copyright in an effort to determine if the programs that we are producing may fall under fair
use guidelines, and if these guidelines are the same for cable and internet distribution. The committee welcomes any
input that members of the ICTC may have on this issue. Send comments or suggestions to Bond Drager at
bdrager @icpl.org.
ICPL Children's Dept. and Library Channel staff were heavily involved in the UNESCO City of Literature's 2nd Annual One
Book Two Book Festival the weekend of January 12`h. The Library Channel broadcast live Author readings and events
throughout the day on Saturday, and provided PA equipment for the Authors Jam event held Capanna. Events and
storytimes continued on Sunday.
