Joe Martin, who identified himself as a Monona employee working in the community media department and the day-to-day person at WVMO, said he has lined up local participants for recordings and is seeking moderators and volunteers to broaden voices on the program.

\"My hope is that we can get a variety of voices,\" Joe said, noting planned recordings with Sukhar and Elizabeth Cook, the Monona Grove School Board president. Joe asked committee members to suggest moderators and volunteers and said recordings would be edited for broadcast.

Members suggested pairing city staff or community leaders with volunteer moderators so listeners hear friendly conversations that humanize city staff. Nancy and others proposed senior-center and other community voices for segments; Molly and Diane were mentioned as potential guests for senior-center coverage. Joe said additional recorded segments should be ready by April.

Will outlined WVMO’s 10th anniversary plans: a beer garden kickoff at San Damiano on Aug. 14 featuring Wheelhouse, and efforts to schedule a national act around the week of Aug. 18. He noted Aug. 20 is the station’s 10th anniversary and National Radio Day, and the Friends of WVMO are seeking volunteers to staff tents at summer beer gardens and to support anniversary events. The Friends will hold a meeting on March 18 at 7 p.m. at City Hall to plan anniversary activities and staffing needs.

Committee members encouraged new voices to volunteer for short, edited segments and asked Joe and station volunteers to circulate opportunities and scheduling information.","Committee members discussed expanding WVMO programming, recruitment of segment hosts for the \"Let's Be Civil\" series, upcoming recordings with Monona Grove School Board President Elizabeth Cook, and plans for WVMO's 10th anniversary in August, including a beer garden event at San Damiano and a Friends of WVMO meeting on March 18.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6113545,"Committee weighs ways to promote Monona Go app as subscription cost review continues",335,1911000,2246000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2745103-58bc7182c82583ac41e2109238a2e4e2&start=1911&end=2246","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2745103-58bc7182c82583ac41e2109238a2e4e2/thumbnail_1911000.jpg","/articles/6113545/Monona/Dane-County/Wisconsin/Committee-weighs-ways-to-promote-Monona-Go-app-as-subscription-cost-review-continues","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6113545-32b0139f04b12dad59634cbd8ba94f6f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771155823&Signature=oOhXPVusnGEhGjNfIg0wypiNJiXVl5ooU1IhxRlCnjR76HNfvcqZL4k0zJvuf9ps1SkupnauMGeJmNn2vE6A6x7a~tEbtgJe1k8UMEP-2gm-FhIM0KkQ-ThQBGTaPUXJvjVuuHEVor~Xn7yL4VnM-yZSUkbihDSI1lZnAdDUXezJuH3-8cv2qG8a02~9cs81Y1vimhMG7mBIwx01rMp0iaMaOHLOEHOxNu4TPbDuvsmT7ZPXS9YAqGTO2NIb9hgJJS-L3N63qJP-IncjZuw~s98a1wAHoN4G7XmQPxBN~jB-6R-EgPSlXKsI5Pss5Wbl6mA8cSnBSHq49dtt29cBbw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Community Media Committee discussed strategies to increase usage of the Monona Go app and weighed its annual cost during the March 13 meeting. Committee members asked staff to gather past suggestions and report on which promotion ideas have been tried to create follow-up accountability.

Will (committee member) reported high-level platform costs: “So we spend 5,200 on the whole platform,” and said a portion of that — roughly $1,300 — is a continuing fee required to support streaming, although he noted he did not have the numbers in front of him and offered a range as an approximation. Members cautioned the exact recurring amount was not specified during the meeting and asked staff to confirm the line-item breakdown.

Bill Graff suggested tracking previously proposed promotion ideas in a simple spreadsheet or scorecard so the committee can assign follow-up and monitor what has and has not been implemented. “There have been some good ideas that, like, we should put a QR code in the athletic programs or whatever,” Graff said, and recommended assigning someone to report back on each item so the committee can be “more specific and have a little bit of follow-up and accountability.”

Committee members discussed barriers to adoption — members anecdotally noted some residents do not want many phone apps — and considered cross-promotion using radio, the newsletter and presence at events. The committee did not vote to cancel or continue the subscription; members left promotion planning and a request for a concise list of previous suggestions as follow-up items.","Members discussed promoting the Monona Go app to boost usership and whether continued subscription is worth the roughly $5,200 annual platform cost, with recurring streaming or service fees of roughly $1,300–$2,101 noted by committee members.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6113549,"Monona media committee reviews newsletter survey, considers second mailing and volunteer features",1248,68000,1316000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2745103-58bc7182c82583ac41e2109238a2e4e2&start=68&end=1316","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2745103-58bc7182c82583ac41e2109238a2e4e2/thumbnail_68000.jpg","/articles/6113549/Monona/Dane-County/Wisconsin/Monona-media-committee-reviews-newsletter-survey-considers-second-mailing-and-volunteer-features","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6113549-92735b1102729d88c81272762bce076f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771155823&Signature=HquorWNc6eG44obP3adm-OUiFgNbZMDjvmqih41RFeuXjPhl58oXC9X76Mswuulc4EgGOjJS7xaCSqL3d5qpni3Q5OvulKGUKR6VFWB-Y3OYqX-9z0KN0m-eeFKphquE6b9a7CHcerIw81D7r7KBhCl6ZL6tpDnMZrYUllaL5islfXEnXRIYQ8sQdPuWoIZEOJ~XiNeAvt1Ih5ycH91BbQgA9VfQEN-PuF5lb0RCd4JmHRyxx3goWV26LDlHh8fh9PjL-zhAqDixb9nXG3xZ5KY6zI-kUEnXcxBQ9tgFh37eFHaSvg2XAr3aXzUHuChlophF4HAqw2dueSUiNOBukg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Monona Community Media Committee on March 13 reviewed results from a newsletter survey and discussed follow-up steps including a possible second mailing, a push to drive readers to the city website for more detail, and adding a recurring volunteer feature.

The committee’s interim figures showed 50 survey responses out of roughly 1,109 newsletter subscribers — about 4 percent of recipients. Will (committee member) described the respondent profile as weighted to older residents: “The majority is 65 plus,” he said, and noted that the 55–64 bracket made up a sizable minority. Committee members said that while the response rate is small, several suggestions worth pursuing surfaced in the free-text answers.

Committee members debated whether to send a second blast to increase responses. “If we want to see if we want to get more, we could certainly do that,” Will said. Members also discussed design and content changes: shorten newsletter copy with “read more” links that point to the website, make use of existing city web pages (for example the public works construction page), and check the newsletter platform’s responsiveness across devices. Anita and Amanda, who currently assemble the newsletter, said they will review layout and length to balance readability and depth.

One recurrent content idea was a volunteer-focused piece: several members suggested featuring volunteers and listing how residents can sign up for opportunities tied to city events (for example, the summer beer gardens). Dave Brunner proposed a regular “Volunteer Corner” to both highlight volunteers’ work and advertise openings. The committee suggested adding a contact name and calendar timing for seasonal volunteer needs (for example, recruit in May for summer events), and agreed linking to the website would allow longer, dynamic content while keeping the newsletter compact.

Members also flagged items that are time-sensitive and difficult to pin to a monthly newsletter — notably road work and other weather-dependent projects. The committee recommended using WVMO (the city radio station) and the city website for immediate updates, and reserving the newsletter for summaries and links to more current pages.

No formal decision to send a second mailing was recorded; committee members left the idea on the table for future meetings and asked staff to consider follow-up timing and messaging.","The Community Media Committee reviewed results of a recent newsletter survey that drew 50 responses from about 1,109 subscribers (about 4%). Members discussed a second mailing, linking newsletter items to the city website, shorter item text with “read more” links, and a recurring volunteer feature to promote local opportunities.","actionData","errors"]
