2009 Annual Report Missoula Civic Television Advisory Commission Missoula Community Access Television 2009 Annual Report Missoula Civic Television Advisory Commission January, 2010 Missoula Community Access Television 500 North Higgins, Missoula, MT 59802 Annual Report 2009 Missoula Civic Television Advisory Commission February 2010 Missoula Community Access Television’s government channel is an electronic pipeline that enriches civic life in 20,000 Missoula households. It helps remind us that the work of local government is bigger than the City Council Chambers and City Hall and that everyone can be involved in it. The MCAT staff works on government channel programming with the advice of the 10-member Missoula Civic Television Advisory Commission (MCTAC). Its appointees represent interests across the community: city and county government staff members and elected officials, Missoula County Public Schools, the University of Montana and citizens at large. The commission strives for a broad mix of programming types and subjects in the 1,400 hours contracted for local government coverage each year. Highlights of this year’s programming included detailed coverage of the City’s Zoning Code Rewrite process. It included a magazine-style explanatory show and meeting coverage that added up to a significant piece of the concerted public outreach throughout the rewrite process. Other programming took viewers to the Missoula City Cemetery for the storytelling of the Stories and Stones series; coverage of Bike Walk Bus Week; the Historic Preservation Commission Awards Ceremony; Western Montana Fair consultant sessions; musical concerts in schools and at the All City Orchestra at the University of Montana; the State of Missoula annual addresses by the mayor and county commissioners’ chair; the Best Practices Transportation Awards; the Community Forum of Missoula’s neighborhood councils; Project Homeless Connect; an educational primer on the new Higgins Avenue Roundabout; and the Police Department’s Day of Remembrance. During 2009, the commission stretched to juggle the increased meeting coverage taken on in the second half of 2008 while still providing lively magazine-style programming. The 2008 additions were meeting coverage of the City’s Design Review Board, the City Board of Adjustment, the County Board of Adjustment, the Transportation Technical Advisory Committee, the Transportation Policy Coordinating Committee and monthly meetings of the Health Board. The government channel also incorporates meeting coverage of the Missoula Board of County Commissioners and some Missoula County Public Schools meetings as a public service. Actual production and related equipment set-up time total 780 hours a year. MCAT staff members spend about 150 hours a year scheduling City programs, 200 hours posting City notices on the community message board and 70 hours attending meetings and creating reports. This adds up to about 1,200 hours a year, leaving only 200 hours a year for creation of other programming. The MCAT staff, with support from the MCAT board, has generously accommodated the MCTAC members’ desire for both meeting coverage and feature programming with media assistance grants. Still, as of Feb. 11, 2010, government channel programming has exceeded the three-year contract hours of 4,200 hours by 182 hours. At the current rate, the commission’s requests will have exceeded the contract agreement by 800 hours at the end of the contract on June 30, 2010. MCTAC members will work concertedly toward a balance of programming that also meets the contract hours in coming months. The government channel’s diversity is its strength and a key to MCAT’s service as a public-access channel with a number of viewers that’s five times the national average for public-access television. Missoula viewers have a keen interest in public affairs and in the business of local government, and they watch their government channel. In other business in 2009, the commission supported the MCAT staff in its addition of streaming video, a valued service. It also changed its name from the Government Channel Cable Advisory Commission (GCCAC) to the more explanatory Missoula Civic Television Advisory Commission (MCTAC). An overhaul of the bylaws led to more efficient meetings and better attendance. The Missoula Civic Television Advisory Commission meets 10 times a year. Its membership of 10 people consists of four at-large citizens, two appointed by the mayor and two by the City Council; two City Council members; one City staff member; one University of Montana representative; one member designated by Missoula County Public Schools; and one member designated by Missoula County. They look forward to another year of guiding the government channel as an integral part of free speech and information in Missoula.

At Council meetings, public hearings are held, and the public has an opportunity to weigh in on the immediate issues facing the City. The Charter states, “The legislative authority of the City of Missoula shall be vested in the City Council which shall have the authority to enact such ordinances and resolutions necessary for the protection and benefit of the people’s health, welfare and security. The City Council shall be the policy-making body of the City of Missoula.” MCAT recorded 102.5 hours in report period. 4 City Council Committee Meetings Before issues are brought forth in City Council meetings, reports and information are gathered and discussed in committee meetings.

When he was four years old, his father was in a horrific train crash this side of Miles City. A trestle collapsed and he was the first person in the train to survive.
