PRESENTATIONS:

04094 - Presentation by Marci Hosier, Executive Director, Tualatin Valley Television

Marci Hosier, Executive Director, Tualatin Valley Television (TVTV), introduced Paul Sander, the new Chair of the Metropolitan Area Communications Commission (MACC).

Sander thanked Council for the support the City of Beaverton had provided to TVTV over the years and said he hoped to continue what had been a fruitful relationship.

Hosier explained the past year was successful for TVTV; programming increased by nine percent and reservations for the use of TVTV's equipment and facilities increased by a little over ten percent.

Hosier said a new program, "Talk of the Town" was started which enabled the cities and organizations in the area to talk about current issues, without having to create an independent program. She said the City's Chief of Staff Linda Adlard was filmed on the program and spoke on the Aggressive Driver Campaign, the Asian Health Services Center and the Business Incubator; that program would be aired May 26 th at 8:00 p.m. on Channel 30. She encouraged Councilors and City staff to think of ideas for future "Talk of the Town" programs that would run through the summer and fall.

Hosier stated in April TVTV stopped charging the cities for coverage of city council meetings and work sessions. She said this decision was based on the amount of franchise fees the cities contributed for the operation of TVTV. She added this would save the City of Beaverton $1,000 annually. She reported this year the City staff produced several programs using TVTV equipment and the built-in studio at City Hall; these programs included the City Learning Series , We Thought You'd Like to Know (covering Code Services) and Your City With Mayor Rob Drake . She noted TVTV trained City staff to use the civic studio and editing equipment.

Hosier explained TVTV won several awards this past year including three International Communicators Awards, three Pegasus awards and the Best of the Northwest Overall Excellence for PEG (Public, Education and Government) programming awarded by the Northwest Regional Alliance for Community Media. She said from July 1, 2003 to date, TVTV provided $635,000 in services to the communities it served. She said Beaverton citizens comprised thirty percent of TVTV's active data base of producers, sponsors and crews for programming. She added TVTV hosted Washington County 's Video Voter's Guide, the Beaverton Candidate Forum and the Martin Luther King Day Celebration Showcase, and would air election results tomorrow night beginning at 8:00 p.m. on Channel 30. She thanked the City for allocating franchise fees to keep PEG media access operating in this area.

Coun. Soth stated it was amazing to see how TVTV had progressed since the time when the City first considered a cable television franchise. He said the progress was not just technical; it was also in the relationships between and among the participants, and in the realization that this was one place where the whole was greater than the sum of its parts. He said without cooperation and participation, they would not have gotten to this point. He thanked them for their work.

Coun. Stanton said she always checked Channels 28 and 30 first, to see what was happening.

Coun. Bode asked what the new program was that was filmed with the Chief of Staff.

Hosier explained it was "Talk of the Town", a thirty-minute program with two guests from different organizations. She said each guest had thirteen minutes to talk about a specific topic. She said today the City of North Plains talked about its policing issues and the Mayor of Hillsboro spoke on the helicopter noise issue.

Coun. Bode asked if they would entertain issues that increased livability, such as the City opening its first federally-certified health clinic to serve the under-served and under-insured.

Hosier replied they would entertain any topic dealing with the City or with organizations that serve the community. She said she was the producer and those who were interested in being on the program should contact her.

Coun. Doyle urged everyone to tour TVTV's new facility, noting it was impressive.

Mayor Drake advised Sander that since Hosier had been the Director, it was like a breath of fresh air in terms of accessibility and approachability. He thanked Hosier for her work.
