2019.
Mark Creighton, a 14-year veteran of the Baraboo Police Department was hired for the vacant Sergeant position. His

The department is now up to full staff. That is something we haven’t been able to say for the last 2+ years.

agreed to cover the cost of the repair.
BUILDING:
We were able to find funds to replace the back door and squad room carpet out of 2019 budget monies. We were not

Media Coordinator Report – December
• Highlights:
o VOD is live! That’s right – you can watch Columbus Cable and Columbus School District’s
channels online LIVE! From OUTSIDE City Hall, browse to the city website and click the
“Videos” link on the left sidebar or browse to
http://66.186.53.18:8086/CablecastPublicSite/. I’m still working on the internal
connection within City Hall, so you’ll need to turn off Wi-Fi and access the link using
cellular data for the moment. This is something that I’ve been working on requires
collaboration with Ontech over the past month. I have to give Ryan Custer great credit
for helping me bridge the gap between A/V and IT. I am confident that he will help us
with a good internal connection as well.
o The CP Holiday Train rolled in to town on December 3rd, and Columbus Cable was there
to capture the fun. You can watch the recording on Columbus Cable (Spectrum channel
980), or online (see above). Many thanks to Zach Navin for lending the DPW pickup to
film from, Chief Koehn and Chief Weiner for giving me a great spot to park, and many
others.
From a Tourism standpoint, the Holiday Train seemed to be a hit despite the event
taking place on a Tuesday night. This year, Tourism Commission dropped some of
the more traditional methods of advertising and spent less, but still achieved
solid results. A good opportunity in the form of extra flyers from Capital
Newspapers also came in, which were distributed to local businesses. A joint
effort Facebook event with CDDC was also made, which achieved great results –
see the statistics below for an indication. 476 replied as “Going” to the event; an
additional 3.1 thousand marked “Interested”.
o New Channel look! If you tune in to Columbus Cable on Spectrum, you may have
noticed that the channel is looking more polished than before. That’s the new broadcast
system at work! I’ve spent time learning all of the great features that our new Cablecast
system has to offer and have been making some changes to the look of the channel. The
community bulletin board (in between programming) now features a 3-day forecast and
a feed from the News Flash section of the city website, as well as space for an alert
ticker when needed and a large section of the screen devoted to City and community
announcements.
• New programming recorded in December:
o Common Council/COW: 12/2, 12/10, 12/17
o Plan Commission: 12/19
o School Board: 12/9
o CP Holiday Train, 12/3
• December program submissions from public:
o Columbus United Methodist Church services, 12/1, 12/8, 12/15, 12/22
o Zion Lutheran Church services, 12/1, 12/8, 12/15, 12/22
o Faith Lutheran Church services, 12/1, 12/8, 12/15, 12/22
• Cable/equipment issues:
o I’m happy to report that the audio “challenges” have been worked through and we have
clear-sounding audio both in Council Chambers and on Channel 980. Channel 981 has
some remaining audio issues; suspected cause is the signal modulator. I will follow up
with Steve Fraser of Spectrum to resolve this issue in the coming weeks.

COW AGENDA ITEM # 12
CITY OF COLUMBUS
FOR COW MEETING OF: JANUARY 21, 2020
FOR CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF: FEBUARY 4, 2020
REQUEST FROM/DEPARTMENT: INTERIM CITY ADMINISTRATOR
AGENDA ITEM/REQUEST: REVIEW AND DISCUSS CAPITAL PROJECTS AMENDMENT
***************************************************
DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE OF PROJECT/ITEM WITH KEY ISSUES NOTED:
At the Council meeting of Dec. 10th the Council reviewed a report by the City Engineer for the
Hibbard St Construction project. The Council has approved this project and a Task order to the
City Engineer to prepare the design of the street and utilities which is now done. The Council
plans to borrow to pay for this project. As requested, the City Engineer, at the meeting of Dec.
10th, also presented options for streets whose condition is such that a mill & overlay application
may be appropriate at this point in time and could be added to the bid documents and included
in the anticipated borrowing package. In addition, Dept. Heads and the Finance Director
presented a list of other projects that may be included as well in said borrowing for 2020. After
discussion I recommended further review of other sources of funding for Capital projects, if you
have funds on hand, and you believe the project or projects should be done this year, they
should be considered and applied before borrowing! Working with the Finance Director and
Dept. Heads I’ve evaluated their priorities and have tried to take a balanced approach with
limited funding options. I suggested in my reports that what the Council should consider is
balancing priorities with funding in the form of an amendment to the 2020 Capital Projects
budget. Attached is my report and recommendations. Refer to attached power point slides that
I’m requesting an opportunity review with you at the meeting.
