Mr. Smith indicated that the intent when working out the schedule was to provide <br />a block of fairly consistent time to be allocated to the Indian River Community College <br />telecourses so students could rely on the schedules. In working with the Indian River <br />School District, there was a block of time from approximately 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. where <br />the telecourses could be accommodated on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. <br />An agreement was reached later for some weekend time. Some of the replay slots for <br />government meetings are lost. <br />Commissioner Adams thought that the intent of the channel is government access <br />and she has received feedback from people who enjoy seeing 24 hour replays. Bottom <br />line, she felt that the government programming should be on the government channel and <br />the educational programming should be on an educational channel. She believed that if <br />the educational channel starts in January, maybe that was when the educational <br />programming should start. <br />Administrator Chandler explained that there is no provision in our franchise for an <br />educational channel, but staff is working with all concerned entities to work it out and get <br />the additional channel for education. It will take some time because of the differences in <br />the individual franchises. <br />Commissioner Ginn noted that much of the Board of County Commissioners <br />replay occurred in the wee hours of the morning. She asked if it would be possible to <br />extend the replay to 8 p.m. on Wednesday. <br />Mr. Smith advised that the "Agency", "Story Time", and "Library" programming <br />is not yet developed, but the time has been allocated. <br />It seemed to Chairman Eggert that "Story Time" would be better in the "Agency" <br />slots on Wednesday. Commissioner Ginn agreed that it would allow extra time for the <br />Board of County Commissioners' meeting replays to occur. <br />Mr. Smith offered several examples and indicated that the schedule was "cast in <br />Jello" because the various meetings differ from week to week and vary in length and <br />time. <br />Administrator Chandler commented that those "live" governmental meetings that <br />are scheduled and those which change times and dates are the ones that are "cast in <br />stone." The proposed schedule was worked around those. <br />Mr. Smith pointed out that it is impossible to show on one schedule all the changes <br />that will occur from week to week and day to day. <br />77 <br />August 12, 1997 <br />680K t�s�, f' GE •, <br />
