BACKGROUND: The purpose of the PEG Advisory Board is to advise the City Council on issues related to public access, educational, and government (PEG) television use in the City of Fayetteville. The PEG Advisory Board was created by Ordinance 6153 on February 5, 2019, and was formerly known as the Telecommunications Board, which itself was formerly known as the Cable Board. The Cable Board was created by City Ordinance 3549 on May 21, 1991. On February 1, 2000, the Cable Board was renamed Telecommunications Board by Ordinance 4219. On July 15, 2003, Ordinance 4504 was created to redefine the composition, officers, staffing, procedures, and the duties of the Telecommunications Board. On May 19, 2015, Ordinance 5774 passed to amend Article IX Telecommunications Board to conform to changes in State Law and to clarify definitions and duties of the board. On November 21, 2017, Ordinance 6011 was passed changing the frequency of the meetings from monthly to bi-monthly. Currently, and with difficulty, the PEG Advisory Board has been attempting to meet at least quarterly. DISCUSSION: For five years with no business to address or discuss, the PEG Advisory Board has not been a functional board since 2017, when it was known as the Telecommunications Board. Your Media, the third -party provider of public access services, has been providing quarterly and annual video reports on the state of the public access operation that are publicly available to view on the FPTV YouTube channel since 2018. In 2018, the board held two meetings. In 2019, zero meetings were held. In 2020, two meetings were held, and in 2021, two meetings were held, some of which were called to order without a quorum purely for presentation purposes. In 2022, to date, zero meetings have been held. Because there have been years with no business to Mailing Address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 attend to and a lack of agenda items, the PEG Advisory Board has difficulty reaching a quorum. The board also is having difficulty filling vacant positions.
