Summary

The board agreed to a Technologics Zoom demonstration, discussed delaying any full ATSC 3.0 upgrade in favor of ATSC 1.0 channel stacking, and heard updates on carrier lease negotiations (AT&T/Verizon) and conduit work related to tower moves.

Peyton told the board that Technologics offered a transcoder/transcoder set that could be demonstrated over Zoom and recommended the district focus on ATSC 1.0 channel packing rather than an immediate ATSC 3.0 upgrade because of equipment cost and digital-rights-management concerns. The board asked staff to schedule a Technologics presentation for the next meeting.

Staff also updated the board on ongoing negotiations with carriers (AT&T, Verizon) and conduit work at certain sites. Ken reported preparatory work for relocations and confirmed that some carriers were seeking revised terms; staff said they would only proceed with tenants who respond to outreach.

The board tabled some MDOT and KENV relocation items pending more information and agreed to revisit vendor and site motions in subsequent meetings.
