City of Iowa City Cable TV Office, 10 S. Linn St. - Tower Place, Level 3A Call to Order: Meeting called to order at 5:35 P.M. Members Present: Derek Johnk, Paul Gowder, Laura Bergus, Matthew Brenton Members Absent: Staff Present: Ty Coleman Others Present: Gerardo Sandoval, Bond Drager Recommendations to Council: None Approval of Minutes: Gowder moved and Brenton seconded a motion to approve the October 23, 2017 minutes as presented. The motion passed unanimously. Announcements of Commissioners: Johnk asked whether there was anything within the Telecommunication Commission's ability to stop the FCC's proposed actions regarding net neutrality. Gowder said it was worth investigating and seeking assurances that Iowa City consumers won't be affected by sudden policy changes. Gowder said this would be a good time to reopen the discussion with the Iowa City City Council regarding municipal broadband. Johnk wondered if there was anything that could be done by the Commission at a Council level to ensure equal access to the Internet. Bergus suggested that the City could submit comments to the FCC on behalf of the Telecommunications Commission to maintain current regulations that offer protections against net neutrality. Coleman said he would talk to the City's legal staff about what the Commission and the City could do. Bergus said that although the Commission is limited in its capacity for broadband regulation, it could serve as a representative of consumers. Brenton noted that the FCC's vote on the proposed action would occur on December 14, 2017, which is prior to the Commission's next regular meeting. Gowder asked about calling a special meeting for this topic. Bergus wondered if it would be possible to get something to Council before its next formal meeting, possibly getting the issue added to the Council's agenda. Johnk acknowledged that the members of the Telecommunications Commission were in agreement on the issue and suggested that a letter could be submitted to Council for its consideration and support. Coleman noted that the next meeting of the City Council is December 5, 2017. Approved Bergus suggested that the Commission could see if the Council would endorse a comment to the FCC prior to the December 14, 2017 vote, stating that the City is against rolling back regulatory protections for consumers. Gowder said that a document could be drafted to present to Council and that Council would have the option to endorse it. Johnk said that the Commission could hold a special meeting to review and approve the document. Coleman noted that if the Commission wished to involve the City Council in any way, deadlines for getting items submitted for the next council meeting would be approaching soon. Bergus said she could create a draft of the comments. Gowder said he would assist Bergus, thereby forming a subcommittee to work on the draft. Brenton recommended that the approved comment document should also be sent to our representatives. Bergus said that individuals are also able to submit comments to the FCC on their own behalf. Johnk asked about scheduling a special meeting to review the drafted comments before sending them to Council. Gowder suggested the meeting be held Thursday, November 30, 2017. The Commission agreed to set a special meeting for 4pm on that day. Bergus said the meeting's purpose would be to approve of comments to be sent to the FCC and also to recommend Council's support. Coleman said he would check to confirm the deadline for getting an item to the Council and whether it could be put on the Council's agenda for its December 5, 2017 meeting. Bergus said there would likely be public input on the issue if the item was on the agenda. Bergus said the FCC's proposal would roll back the Obama-era consumer protections and that the comment she drafts will request that the status quo be maintained. MoTiteMeIMMi..RTIu Consumer Issues: Johnk noted there were no issues reported in the monthly report that were still without a resolution. Mediacom Report: Coleman reported that he received a letter from Mediacom regarding upcoming rate increases, including the local broadcast surcharge and the regional sports surcharge. Coleman said that the rental rate for digital transport adapters would go up as well. Coleman said the letter reminded the City of its recent initiative to give all of its business and residential customers access to 1 Gbps broadband speeds. Coleman said the letter also mentioned a low cost, high-speed Intemet service for low-income customers who have at least one K-12 student living at home who is qualified for free or reduced -price lunch through the National School Lunch Program. Coleman said the letter listed the service as providing a 10 Mbps download speed for $9.95 per month. Coleman said information about the Connect2Compete service could be found at www.mediacomc2c.com. Gowder noted that the website indicated that those currently subscribed to Mediacom Intemet service were not eligible for the program. Approved Coleman also reported that he was preparing the annual letter the City sends to Mediacom to notify them of the amount of funds expected next year for supporting public access services in Iowa City, as required by the current cable franchise agreement between the City and Mediacom. Coleman said that the amount is modified each year according to a formula that includes the percent of change in the Consumer Price Index over the past year. Local Access Reports: Drager reported that the Library Channel had been very busy in November. She also reported that more wireless hotspots had been added to the Library's collection. Johnk asked whether it could be possible for the Library to mention Mediacom's Connect2Compete service to those who check out the wireless hotspots. Sandoval said that November was very busy for Public Access Television (PATV). He highlighted a recent program, "Nora's House of Dance," that PATV had live -streamed. Sandoval said the show featured six different dance companies and multiple types of dance. He noted that the production exemplified PATV's mission to bring the community together. He said that the six dance companies were brought in and out of the PATV studio within two hours. Sandoval said that interest in PATV services continues to increase. He mentioned that PATV would be making some modifications to the studio, including lighting and camera improvements, in an effort to stay current with technology. Sandoval reported that a soundproof podcast studio had been completed and that it provides another service that gives the public a voice. Johnk asked Sandoval how often PATV had been using YouTube live, saying that he had recently seen a live show streaming through YouTube. Sandoval said PATV and its members are producing more live content than ever before, using in-house equipment and mobile equipment. Sandoval noted that offering the ability to stream content was important given the current landscape of more traditional media outlets. City Cable TV Office Report: Coleman reported that the Cable TV Office would be bringing in a new employee at the start of 2018 to fill its Media Production Assistant position. Coleman said the selected person has been doing great work for the City of Ames and that he is excited for her to begin her work with Iowa City. Coleman asked the Commission how it would like to handle its December meeting, given that the regular meeting date of December 25, 2017 is a holiday. Johnk suggested that the Commission continue its plan to hold a special meeting on November 30, 2017 and cancel its December 2017 meeting. All commissioners agreed. Adjournment: Brenton moved and Gowder seconded a motion to adjourn. The motion passed unanimously. Adjournment was at 6:05 p.m. TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION 12 -MONTH ATTENDANCE RECORD (x) = Present (o) = Absent (o/c) = Absent/Called (Excused) Gowder Bergus Kilburg Johnk Homewood 12/12/2016 x x o/c x vacant 01/23/2017 o/c x x x vacant 02/27/2017 Meeting not held due to lack of quorum. 03/27/2017 x x x o/c vacant 04/24/2017 x x x x vacant 05/22/2017 x x x x vacant 06/26/2017 o/c x x x vacant 07/24/2017 Meeting not held due to lack of quorum.
