Regular City Council Meeting Monday, April 18, 2016 Page 4 back and seek feedback from CTV and the North Suburban Communications Commission (NSCC). Ms. Raye referenced Attachment A in the meeting packet that explained in more detail the organization and additional background infor- mation. Prior to receiving feedback via a number of standard questions made available to each member participant, Ms. Raye shared a short video providing an overview of CTV and 2015 activities. City Council Feedback Regarding additional or enhanced CTV services and programming, Councilmem- ber McGehee referenced workshops co-sponsored by the City of Roseville, initi- ated by its former Housing & Redevelopment Authority, and held at the Ramsey County Library -Roseville Branch. Councilmember McGehee stated that it was her understanding that it was more difficult to record those workshops at that lo- cation, and questioned if there wasn't some way to partner to facilitate that pro- gramming for remove videotaping by CTV. Councilmember McGehee also sug- gested area school districts and their adult and/or community education program offerings may benefit and have interest in providing that type of programming be- yond sport, music and other taped offerings. Councilmember McGehee ques- tioned if there was some available space that was easy to use and could facilitate filming, such as is done in the Council Chambers. Mayor Roe recognized that as an excellent point, and from CTV's perspective, noted some venues already in place with pre-installed assets available for broad- casting (e.g. sporting events). Mayor Roe suggested that, if existing infrastructure was already in place, with the Roseville Library connected to the City's fiber net- work, that possibility should be examined. Regarding additional services or programs, Councilmember Laliberte observed that there seemed to be considerable time between commission meetings on Channel 16 that could be made available for other programming, whether from CTV or city staff to make better use of the 24/7 availability. Councilmember Laliberte suggested there may be programming already available to use from city archives or YouTube that isn't being utilized or available to the general public. In response to both of those comments, Councilmember Etten suggested the need to have another community space to record more programs, since CTV frequently plays the same prograinming for six months, when there surely must be additional programming they could offer, whether they needed an incentive to do so or if there were other ways to serve their members. As one example, Councilmember Etten suggested looking at other events and activities happening in the Roseville and Mounds View School Districts that could be covered, or if there were ways to create physical connection points in the communities CTV served to make that in- frastructure connectivity and allow more efficiencies in programming.
