Mark called the meeting to order at 3:30 PM. A motion to approve the December minutes was made by John;
seconded by Brian and approved unanimously.
OLD BUSINESS:
• No one has applied for the PEG Committee vacancies that were announced in the Utilities
Newsletter. A new person from the city is also needed who will be able to attend the
meetings.
NEW BUSINESS: None
MANAGER’S Mark reported on his conversations with Wave Broadband
REPORT:
• The station’s channel numbers may be moved to lower spots; ideally to 47 and 48, which
were the channel numbers in the 90’s. There will be plenty of notice before the channel
change.
• Wave Broadband will likely be able to handle all modulation and the initial transition to
HDTV.
• Wave does not operate servers, but they could direct the traffic to us.
• Once there is an agreement with Broadband, we can move to get the equipment for HD
switching.
• Wave would also like the Jefferson County to be involved. If a line can be approved, then the
County Commissioner meetings can be broadcast live as the City Council is.
Both wrestling and basketball will broadcast live this term.
The next PEG Meeting will be in March or April.
ADJOURN: The meeting adjourned at 4:00 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Dottie Curren
