BOARD OF DIRECTORS 
AGENDA REPORT 
TO:       Tri-Valley Community Television Board of Directors 
FROM:     Melissa Tench-Stevens, Executive Director  
DATE:     September 12, 2013 
SUBJECT:    4 (a) EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT 
Summary: Planning for 2013-2014 fiscal year and beyond, equipment replacement and 
upgrades and Summer Camp have been the focus of this last period. 
Personnel/Business Update: 
● Bridget Michelsen, one of our Master Control Operators, has resigned to take a full time job 
closer to her home in Foster City.   
● Insurance policies have been renewed for the next fiscal year. 
● Work continues to be done to close the books from 2012-2013. Efforts have started on the 
updated five year funding and equipment replacement plan which will be presented at the 
February planning meeting. 
Equipment Update: 
The studio, server room and control room: 
● New technology has been installed to stream line the conversion of meeting videos for 
chapterizing and the web. This is a considerable assist for viewers and City Clerks. 
● Research has been completed to replace equipment for the editing systems and graphics 
systems previously approved for this year.   
● The best way to update our fiber equipment and network to ensure long term stability of our 
City Council broadcasts is being researched.  I have asked for quotes on equipment and 
installation. 
Other equipment issues/repairs/purchases/installations: 
● Equipment needs and installation are being determined for our Van to allow its use for 
football, as opposed to renting another production truck.  This includes such items as lengths of 
cables, specialized cable connectors, lights, camera color correction and camera tie-in ability to 
the Van and audio needs. 
● Much work was done to oversee the Dublin City Council project and correct installation issues 
with the vendor on site.  It was determined that the equipment the vendor put in place was not 
installed correctly or not compatible with the other new equipment the vendor purchased.  I 
worked with the installer and contacted the general manager of the company to request different 
equipment be purchased. He ensured that there were no fees passed on for unusable equipment 
that had been previously purchased and installed by the vendor. Due to this error on the vendor’s 
Page 10
part, TVCTV crew was needed to capture an extra meeting with our equipment.  At a meeting in 
August all new equipment was installed for the live meeting and it is working properly. 
● A new cabinet was built and installed in the station to house our field equipment (cameras etc) 
in a locked environment.   
Programming/Production: 
● The first Summer Camp was completed, edited and has been airing.  Letters and DVD’s were 
sent to all participants. 
● The second and third Summer Camps took place.  These shows are still in the process of being 
edited.  Guests included: Mayor Marchand, Mayor Thorne, Gold medal Olympian Jessica 
Steffens, Assistant General Manager Premium Outlet Mall, Dave Ackerman, 
Livermore/Pleasanton Fire Department Deputy Chief Jeff Peters, Dublin Police Chief Tom 
McCarthy, Sheila Fagliano, Livermore Sanitation Recycling Representative, Congressman Eric 
Swalwell, Robert Shi, Founder of the Livermore/Pleasanton Youth Symphony, and Todd 
Thomas, President and Inventor, Amerimade Technology. Collectively we had 26 students in the 
last two camps. 
● Our crews shot the 2013 Innovation Tri-Valley event and are editing it.    
● We have just finished producing the 15th episode of  “Slipstream”.  It has had many positive 
comments from viewers and great press. Guests on recent episodes have included Mayor Jerry 
Thorne to promote “Try Transit to School” and Stephanie Mien from the City of Dublin to 
promote “Splatter”.  As a reminder this half hour community news program highlights events 
such as: 
  City Council and other government meetings dates 
  City government news items, public works (closures etc) and events 
  School Board meeting dates, important school events and closures 
  City and non-profit events 
  Educational opportunities  
  Parks and Recreation. information 
 Local entertainment 
  Various other significant community announcements 
Please let me know of any events or items of importance your City would like to present to the 
public. 
● Planning for the procedures that would be required for the pre-production, post editing and 
trafficking for broadcasting of football games produced by using our Van is being conducted. 
●The “Lucky Fan” promotion continues to gain momentum helped by Susan, our PR person.  
She sustains an excellent job of procuring giveaway items. Each week we draw names and create 
on-air announcements and add the information to our FaceBook page.  We recently gave away 
tickets to the Vine, Firehouse Arts Center and gift certificates to several restaurants.. 
● Other additions to our regular productions have included: 
 Mayors Reports on Location at a room on the Pleasanton School District campus 
  Pleasanton School Board special meetings on location 
  East Bay Community Services event at Dublin City Council 
  East Bay Community Services event at Hayward City Council 
Web/FaceBook Update: 
● The website and our FaceBook pages continue to show steady growth.  We take advantage of 
cross-promoting all stations with all our media outlets.  Since our last Board meeting the web 
continues to experience an average of 20,000 full unique page views on a monthly basis. These 
views include Live and Video On Demand (VOD) viewing of programming and meeting 
offerings from TVCTV.  We recently upgraded the process of providing our Video on Demand 
services and now all Video on Demand can be seen on users mobile devices too.  
Page 11

● We just finished the conversion of a year’s worth of Livermore City Council meetings! Users 
can now view the old meetings with chapterized agendas in the new format via Video on 
Demand on the web.   
● Two new pages and links were created for the City of Dublin and the City of Livermore.  
These pages have only each City’s banners on the page.  They were created so that viewers can 
click on them directly to see the live meeting streaming without going to our page. A link was 
provided to Steve Papa in Dublin who forwarded it to Linda Smith, http://dublin.trivalleytv.org  
and Sarah Bunting and Susan Neer in Livermore http://livermore.trivalleytv.org 
● We are now providing Video on Demand and chapertizing of Agenda’s for the Pleasanton 
School Board on our web site. 
Funding and Potential Funding Opportunities: 
● Several quotes have been requested for production projects and chapertizing projects.  I am 
waiting for answers. 
● Marketing materials are being prepared for attracting new underwriters for the fall and spring. 
● We continue to sell a steady stream of DVDs.  We sold several DVDs for our coverage of Little League 
Baseball. Two orders were in bulk. 
● The Scottish Games returned as a supporter over the summer. Visit Tri-Valley has just 
returned to support Tri-Valley Sports Final through the end of the year. 
Other Meetings and General items of Interest:  
● On July 16 and August 13th I participated in the Board of Directors meetings for American 
Community Television.    
● I met with Roger Bradley and Public Information Officer for Dublin Jacqui Diaz 
● TV30 Foundation planning meetings have been held and I attended.   
● Phone & e-mails to Pat Jordan regarding new legislation for PEG funding are ongoing. 
● A July 26th meeting with John Petchner, East Bay Community Foundation, was held.

AGENDA REPORT 
TO:       Tri-Valley Community Television Board of Directors 
FROM:     Melissa Tench-Stevens, Executive Director  
DATE:     September 12, 2013  
SUBJECT:    PEG FUNDING LEGISLATION UPDATE 
AGENDA ITEM: 4 (b) 
American Community Television (ACT) is still in the process of working on a new CAP Bill that 
will be submitted as soon as a sponsor (s) has been determined.  The US Conference of Catholic 
Bishops continues to work with American Community Television setting up appointments on the 
hill and attending them with ACT.  
Pat Jordan has been working with Sue Buske from the Buske Group and the Alliance for Community 
Television (ACM).  Sue drafted the short questionnaire that was sent out on June 27th to members of the 
California League of Cities in an effort to answer Senator Feinstein’s questions regarding the funding 
amounts Cities are receiving for PEG.   On August 23rd Pat informed me that there were some glitches 
with the PEG survey results. The League of California Cities staff has to do some work, so she is waiting 
for them.   
I sent a question from Mayor Sbranti to Pat Jordan.  It was “Can we make any changes to state 
legislation?” Here is Pat’s response: No, trying to fix the PEG problem by changing DIVCA will not solve 
the problem. The problem is federal telecom law. If we change federal telecom law then we neutralize the 
provision in DIVCA that limits PEG funds.  I have followed up with this question to our new legal support 
at the City of Pleasanton Renee Perko who will review and provide opinion.  I will share that will you as 
soon as possible.

DATE:     September 12, 2013  
SUBJECT:    PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 2013-2014 OPERATING      
   BUDGET and CAPITAL BUDGET 
AGENDA ITEM: 5 ( b ) 
SUMMARY 
A revised proposed Capital Budget was approved by the TVCTV Board of Directors at the July 9, 2013 
TV30 Board meeting pending approval by each City Council.  The request for pass through of additional 
PEG funds was due to a recent notification from a vendor of non-support for critical operating equipment.  
The additional cost to replace this equipment is $86,000.  A one sheet outlining the original proposed 
Capital Budget and the adjusted budget may be seen below. 
Verification of each City Council’s approval is requested at this meeting. 
RECOMMENDATION 
Upon verification from each City Council of approval of the adjusted budget, the TVCTV Board confirm 
the adjusted Capital Budget for FY 2013-2014.
