    BOARD OF REGENTS AGENDA ITEM 5 STATE OF IOWA AUGUST 5, 2009 Contact: Brad Berg FY 2010 BUDGETS – UNIVERSITIES, IOWA PUBLIC RADIO, BOARD OFFICE Actions Requested: Consider approval of FY 2010: 1. Regent institutional budgets as presented on pages 5-9. 2. Iowa Public Radio budget as presented in Attachment D on page 23. 3. Board Office operating budget as shown in Attachment E on page 24. Executive Summary: Consistent with the Board’s strategic plan to demonstrate public accountability and effective stewardship of resources, all institutional budgets are approved annually by the Board. The FY 2010 budgets for the special schools were approved at the June 2009 meeting. In April, the Board considered key budgetary issues to provide guidance in the development of the FY 2010 institutional budgets. In June, the Board approved the institutional salary policies and received FY 2010 budget development updates from Iowa’s public universities, which included the projected application of one-time federal economic stimulus funding. The Board also adopted a resolution to hold salaries flat in FY 2010 for all non-bargaining unit employees with exceptions being approved by the institutional heads upon consultation with the Board Office. The Board is now asked to consider approval of the proposed budgets for the universities, Iowa Public Radio, and the Board Office. The Regent institutional budgets include two basic types of funds: General operating funds include operational appropriations, interest income, tuition and fee revenues, reimbursed indirect costs, and sales and services revenues. Some appropriations are designated for specific operating uses and cannot be used for other purposes.

Most analyses of public radio listening examine the performance of individual stations within this large mix, the contributions of specific national programs, or aggregate numbers for the system as a whole. This report takes a different approach. Through an extensive, multi-year study of 228 stations that generate about 80% of public radio’s audience, we review patterns of listening to groups of stations categorized by the formats that they present. We find that stations that pursue different format strategies – news, classical, jazz, AAA, and the principal combinations of these – have experienced significantly different patterns of audience growth in recent years and important differences in key audience behaviors such as loyalty and time spent listening. This quantitative study complements qualitative research that the Station Resource Group, in partnership with Public Radio Program Directors, and others have pursued on the values and benefits listeners perceive in different formats and format combinations. Key findings of The Public Radio Format Study include: • In a time of relentless news cycles and a near abandonment of news by many commercial stations, public radio’s news and information stations have seen a 55% increase in their average audience from Spring 1999 to Fall 2004.

    Fy 2020 Capital Request

    FY 2020 CAPITAL REQUEST Iowa Public Radio (IPR) requests $1.3M for three high priority capital projects required for WOI-FM, KSUI-FM, and KICP-FM. These stations are three of the IPR network’s largest signals. Without timely attention, there is growing danger of significant failure. Iowa Public Radio respectfully requests support for these capital needs, which are explained in detail below. IPR manages 25 stations and serves 250,000 listeners statewide with three programming services: News, Classical, and Studio One. IPR’s combined radio groups serve rural and urban Iowa, touching all of Iowa’s 99 counties. The history of public radio in Iowa is long and proud: two of our stations are almost a century old, with licenses among the first 100 radio licenses ever granted by the FCC. We expect to celebrate their centennial in 2022. WOI-FM Antenna, Transmitter and Transmission Line Request: $830,000 for replacing WOI-FM antenna, transmission line, transmitter and studio-to- transmitter link This project would replace the antenna and transmission system for WOI-FM, licensed to Iowa State University. WOI-FM is the main signal for the Iowa Public Radio network in the Des Moines/Ames area, and is an essential hub for our statewide network. Originating in Ames, the signal serves 60,600 listeners in 15 counties in central Iowa with news, information and cultural programming. WOI-FM is very popular, averaging in the top 10 stations in the Des Moines metro market, and is ranked the #2 news station (of around 15) in the Des Moines metro area.

    Fy 2019 Capital Request

    FY 2019 CAPITAL REQUEST Iowa Public Radio (IPR) requests $1.18 M for two high priority capital projects, at WOI-FM (the flagship station for ISU’s radio group) and KSUI-FM (the flagship station for U of I’s radio group). WOI and KSUI are two of the IPR network’s largest signals. Without timely attention, there is growing danger of significant failure. Iowa Public Radio and the Iowa Board of Regents respectfully request support for these capital needs. Iowa Public Radio manages the stations on behalf of Iowa State University and the University of Iowa, per a Public Service Operating Agreement. Iowa Public Radio was created in 2004 by the Iowa Board of Regents to manage the public radio groups owned by Iowa State University, University of Iowa and University of Northern Iowa. On behalf of the universities, IPR manages 25 stations, with tangible assets valued at over $11 M, serving 260,000 listeners statewide with three programming services: News, Classical, and Studio One. Per our Public Service Operating Agreement with the Board of Regents and the universities, the universities provide the transmission and studio facilities, and IPR manages the stations for the universities. Significant capital maintenance needs are included in the Regents’ 5 year capital plans, and fall in the deferred maintenance line. In 2015, the legislature approved $100,000 to replace the transmitter of KICL-FM, a ISU-owed Des Moines-area Classical signal. The station was highly unreliable, suffering frequent outages. With your support, KICL is now a high functioning Classical music service. Your support was essential for that project.

    Story Wall Completed As Part of Ped Mall Project

    Installation of 'A Mark was Made' story wall completed as part of Ped Mall project A story wall entitled "A Mark was Made" has been recently installed in the Black Hawk Mini Park area of the Downtown Pedestrian Mall. The wall illuminates the impact that 17 Iowa Citians have had on the City from the 1830s until today. The piece is located in the southwest corner of the Black Hawk Mini Park of the downtown Pedestrian Mall. it is adjacent to the Paul Hellen Building, which houses the Iowa Artisans Gallery, and the 110 S. Dubuque Street building, home to Buzz Salon. The wall was created to become an evolving acknowledgement celebrating the leadership, activism, and creativity of those who have influenced the Iowa City community and beyond. Constructed of limestone faced blocks, The Story Wall features plaques with the names and accomplishments of local leaders of the past and present. The wall is also adorned with metallic silhouettes of birds. The honorees were selected by soliciting the general public for their suggestions. Over 80 individuals were nominated through an online poll conducted in October and November of 2017. A committee of local historians, University of Iowa representatives, and downtown business owners then reviewed the list and selected a balance of honorees that represent Iowa City over the years in areas related to discovery, education, commerce, culture, and community. The complete list of those honored: 1830s: Cyrus Sanders- Discovery Early Johnson County surveyor described pioneer life in Iowa City. His farmhouse remains at 2040 Waterfront Drive. 1850s: Martha Reno- Education African American woman who fought racial inequality and school taxation when her daughter was not allowed to attend.
