Cable TV Coordinator Craig Nowack recommends City Council approval of an
amendment to the City of Dubuque Code of Ordinances Title 2 Boards and
Commissions Chapter 11 to more accurately reflect the duties of the Cable TV
Commission.
At their meeting on January 8, 2020, the Cable TV Commissioners discussed the
Commission's future. Realizing that the City of Dubuque no longer has any regulatory
authority over the local cable provider, and that their main function now is to make
recommendations for funding from the Capital Grant for Access Equipment and facilities
(the PEG Fund), the Commission is recommending reducing the size of the
Commission from seven to five members, thus reducing the number of Commissioners
required for a quorum from four to three, in order to make it easier to conduct a meeting.
In addition, since the Commission's main purpose is to make recommendations on
funding requests, eliminating the requirement to meet once per quarter of the calendar
year would eliminate the need to meet when there are no funding requests to consider.
The third and final change is to remove from the ordinance language that pertains to
oversight of the cable company, since federal and state lawmakers, in conjunction with
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules, have already done so.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to recommend amending the City of Dubuque Code of
Ordinances to more accurately reflect the duties of the Cable TV Commission.
BACKGROUND
At their meeting on January 8, 2020, the Cable TV Commissioners discussed the Commission's
future. Realizing that the City of Dubuque no longer has any regulatory authority over the local
cable provider, and that their main function now is to make recommendations for funding from
the Capital Grant for Access Equipment and Facilities (the PEG Fund), they wondered if some
changes to the ordinance under which they operate might be beneficial.
First among these changes is reducing the size of the Commission from seven to five members,
and thus reducing the number of Commissioners required for a quorum from four to three, in
order to make it easier to conduct a meeting. Second, because the Commission's main
purpose is to make recommendations on funding requests, eliminating the requirement to meet
once per quarter of the calendar year would eliminate the need to meet when there are no
funding requests to consider. The third and final change is to remove from the ordinance
language that pertains to oversight of the cable company, since federal and state lawmakers, in
conjunction with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules, have already done so.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Senior Counsel Barry Lindahl and I have drafted an amendment to City of Dubuque Code of
Ordinances Title 2 Boards and Commissions Chapter 11 to reflect these changes. I respectfully
request that you forward this proposed amendment to the City Council to receive, file, and
approve.
