THE FCC SPECTRUM AUCTION
and REPACKING
MATC Public Television Committee
September 15, 2015
Ellis Bromberg
MPTV General Manager
THE AUCTION TIMELINE UNTIL NOW

OPTIONS
A. Do not participate in the Auction: no change, WMVS on ch. 8;
WMVT on ch. 35
B. Channel share with ourselves on high-V: keep both licenses, but
WMVT shares ch. 8 with WMVS
C. Move WMVT to a high-V channel: maintaining two channels on
high-V
D. Channel share with ourselves on U: keep both licenses but
WMVS shares ch. 35 with WMVT
E. Relinquish WMVT license: keep only ch. 8
F. Relinquish WMVS license: keep only ch. 35
G. Move WMVT to low-V, keeping WMVS a high V: maintaining one
high-V on ch. 8 and one low-V
H. Channel share with another licensee
KEEP IN MIND
• The auction will be competitive in nature. Receiving auction proceeds is not
guaranteed to any station.
• Opening bids are the maximum, intended to drive up participation but not
guaranteed.
• Proceeds will be unevenly distributed: many licensees will receive no actual bids
for their stations. But wireless providers may be particularly interested in
Milwaukee stations because of the sizable population and large number of UHF
TV stations in the Chicago-Milwaukee corridor.
• Spectrum revenue could be an opportunity to make important innovations, to
invest in technology that audiences prefer, and to increase educational and
public service.
• A single payment of auction revenue cannot sustain MPTV indefinitely.
• The continued support of the college, members, donors, underwriters and
state/federal funding will remain critically important.
• Don’t forget the Repack: if we do not participate in the Auction and are
involuntarily repacked, the Feds will cover most of the costs; if we do participate
in the Auction, we will cover our own costs to move our channel(s).

Re: Report on Legal Issues in Connection with FCC TV Spectrum Auction and Repack
Dear Ellis:
This report provides our analysis of the legal activities and costs that would be associated
with circumstances facing noncommercial educational stations WMVS and WMVT, licensed to
the Milwaukee Area Technical College, in connection with the FCC’s upcoming TV spectrum
incentive auction and repack. We examine the legal activities that would likely be necessary and
appropriate in connection with a bid to move WMVT from a UHF to a VHF channel, with a bid
for WMVS to share its channel with WMVT, and with the possible repack of one or both
stations. This report also discusses issues relating to coverage replication in the event of any of
these outcomes.
SECTION 1 – Legal Activities and Costs
If MATC determines to participate in the reverse auction, we believe it will require and
benefit from regular and continuing advice from us throughout the process, as it works through
whether to participate, its bidding strategy, its auction application, it actual auction participation
and, ultimately, its effectuation of the results of the auction and the possible repack of either or
both of its stations. Even if MATC is not successful as a bidder in the auction, or MATC
determines not to participate in the reverse auction at all, it still may require legal assistance as a
result of the repack of either or both of its stations.
The analysis below provides what we believe are the legal activities of FCC counsel
necessary to support MATC under the possible outcomes of the auction and repack process.
We believe that there are four (4) possible outcomes: (1) MATC is successful in a bid to
move WMVT from a UHF to a VHF channel; (2) MATC is successful in a bid to have WMVT
share the WMVS channel; (3) MATC is not successful in either auction bid but WMVT is
repacked; and (4) WMVS is repacked (which we view as unlikely, but possible).
May 29, 2015
Page 2
We have assigned cost estimates to each of the legal activities associated with each of
these four outcomes. These are good faith estimates only – none of us has ever been through this
process before, and therefore none of us can say with certainty how difficult or time-intensive
these activities may be. It is possible that final costs could be lower or higher, and in the event
of serious and intractable issues, including disputes with the FCC or other broadcasters over such
matters as cost reimbursement, coverage replication and interference, the costs could be much
higher.
Based on our estimates, we believe that MATC needs to plan on an FCC legal budget
ranging from a low of about $5,000 (in the event that MATC ultimately decides not to participate
in the auction and neither WMVS nor WMVT is repacked) to a high of nearly $50,000 (in the
unlikely event that MATC participates in the auction and both WMVS and WMVT are
repacked). Including pre-auction and auction participation activities, we estimate that the legal
costs associated with a successful UHF to VHF bid for WMVT would be about $25,500, and the
costs associated with a successful channel sharing bid would be about $22,500.
Here are the legal activities that we have identified and their estimated costs.
Activities Associated with Pre-Auction Deliberations, Preparation for Auction and Auction
Participation:
1.
Advise on FCC auction rules and processes and auction participation options and
strategies, as well as FCC anti-collusion rules as they apply to MATC board
members, officers, employees and other representatives ($5,000)
2.
Advise on determination of the “walk-away price” for any contemplated auction
participation option, and on MATC’s bidding strategy in the event that MATC
might pursue more than one bidding option in the auction ($2,500)
3.
Assist in preparation, submission and prosecution of MATC’s application to
participate in the auction and respond to any FCC inquiries and issues re same
($2,500)
4.
Assist MATC in preparing its authorized bidding representative(s) for
conducting bidding in the auction (note that due to FCC anti-collusion rules and
other factors FCC counsel cannot actually conduct bidding on behalf of MATC)
($2,000)
5.
Advise on questions arising during auction process, including implementation of
bidding strategy, application of anti-collusion rules, and bidding questions arising
in the event that the reverse auction is not successful during the first stage and
therefore one or more additional stages is required ($2,500)
May 29, 2015
Page 3
6.
Evaluate FCC auction result (which may include acceptance of VHF move bid for
WMVT, acceptance of channel sharing bid, repacking of WMVT onto some other
UHF channel, repacking WMVS onto some other high VHF channel or none of
the above) and advise MATC on next steps ($1,500)
Activities associated with a successful bid to move WMVT to VHF channel:
1.
Assist in preparation, submission and prosecution of construction permit
application(s) for new facilities for WMVT ($2,500)
2.
Assist in preparation, submission and prosecution of any requests for special
temporary authorization in connection with “temporary” WMVT facilities during
construction of new permanent facilities ($2,500)
3.
Advise and assist in connection with construction issues and/or delays, as they
may require a modified construction permit and/or an extended construction
period ($2,500)
4.
Assist in the preparation and submission of the WMVT license application to
cover the new facilities ($1,000)
5.
Advise and assist in connection with post-auction and repack transition
requirements, including consumer education requirements and transition notices
to MVPDs (e.g., cable systems and DBS carriers) ($1,000)
Activities associated with a successful bid for WMVT to share WMVS channel:
1.
Advise and assist MATC in preparing a very simple “channel sharing agreement”
for a situation where one licensee shares a channel with itself ($2,500)
2.
Assist in preparation, submission and prosecution of license applications for both
WMVS and WMVT ($2,000)
3.
Activities associated with a repack of WMVT In the event that any auction bids for WMVT are
unsuccessful:
1.
application(s) for new facilities for WMVT, and in preparation and submission of
repacking cost estimate form ($5,000)
May 29, 2015
Page 4
2.
temporary authorization in connection with “temporary” WMVT facilities during
3.
period, and assist in preparation, submission and prosecution of extension
application(s) ($5,000)
4.
Assist in the preparation and submission of the WMVT license application to
cover the new facilities and filings associated with the final accounting for repack
expenses ($3,000)
5.
Activities associated with a repack of WMVS:
1.
application(s) for new facilities for WMVS, and in preparation and submission of
repacking cost estimate form ($5,000)
2.
temporary authorization in connection with “temporary” WMVS facilities during
3.
period ($5,000)
4.
Assist in the preparation and submission of the WMVS license application to
cover the new facilities and filings associated with the final accounting for repack
expenses ($3,000)
5.
In addition, depending on the outcome of the auction and repack process, MATC will
also likely need to seek counsel from an attorney on matters of state and local laws and
regulations. These are not matters within the expertise of our law firm. Therefore, we are unable
to provide cost estimates relating to these activities.
May 29, 2015
Page 5
Here are the local counsel legal activities that we have identified:
1.
Advise on legal (e.g., zoning or land use) requirements associated with changes to
the broadcast tower (removal of Channel 35 antenna, addition of new VHF
antenna(s) (in event that WMVT move to VHF is successful and/or WMVS is
repacked) or new or modified UHF antenna (in the event that WMVT’s auction
participation is unsuccessful but WMVT is repacked)
2.
Advise on legal requirements that might be applicable to the MATC Board’s
consideration of and deliberations regarding auction participation options,
including matters of confidentiality, open meetings and open records
3.
Advise on legal requirements that might be applicable to the relinquishment or
disposition of what might be regarded as an “asset” of MATC in the auction
4.
Advise on tax consequences and considerations applicable to MATC’s receipt of
auction proceeds in the event that a bid by WMVT to move to a VHF channel, or
a channel share between WMVS and WMVT, is successful (at our request, FCC
has asked the IRS to prepare an analysis of possible tax consequences of a
station’s participation in the auction and repack where the licensee of the station
is a non-profit or governmental entity, and we expect that analysis, once released,
will provide significant guidance for local counsel on these issues)
SECTION 2 – Coverage Replication
In the Spectrum Act (which is the legal basis for the FCC’s auction and repack plans),
Congress required the FCC to make “all reasonable efforts to preserve … the coverage area … of
each broadcast television licensee….” Thus, in connection with the possible move by WMVT
from a UHF to a VHF channel, or in connection with the possible repack of either WMVT or
WMVS, the FCC is required to take all reasonable efforts to preserve the stations’ existing
coverages. Of course, in the event that WMVS shares its channel with WMVT, there would be
no change in the coverage of WMVS, and the coverage of WMVT would become the same as
WMVS (which I understand might result in a coverage improvement for WMVT).
The FCC has determined that the “coverage area” that it must try to preserve refers to the
“service area” of the stations, as defined in Section 73.622(e) of the FCC’s rules – their noiselimited F(50,90) contours where the signal strength is predicted to exceed the noise-limited
service level.
Thus, in the event that the FCC assigns WMVT a VHF channel pursuant to a successful
UHF to VHF bid in the auction, or the FCC repacks WMVT to a different (presumably lower)
UHF channel and/or repacks WMVS to a different high VHF channel, the FCC is obligated to
make all reasonable efforts to replicate the stations’ service areas on these new channels.
May 29, 2015
Page 6
In the FCC’s announcement of auction and repack results, in the event that channel
changes will take place, the FCC will specify the technical parameters and facilities that the
station will use on the new channel. These parameters and facilities will be based on the use of
the station’s existing transmitter site and should result in replication of the station’s previous
coverage. But if a station has concerns about whether the new channel and the specified
parameters and facilities will replicate current coverage, the FCC will provide two opportunities
for the station to apply for alternate or expanded facilities.
First, in the application process immediately following the auction (such applications to
be submitted within 90 days of the auction decision), the FCC will allow stations to propose
transmission facilities that increase coverage if the enhanced facilities (1) are necessary to
achieve coverage replication or address loss of coverage resulting from the new channel
assignment, (2) will not extend the station’s noise-limited contour by more than 1% in any
direction, and (3) will not cause new interference to other stations (with a rounding tolerance of
0.5%). However, the 1% limitation will not apply to winning UHF to VHF bidders – due to
antenna pattern variations between UHF and VHF antennas, the FCC will permit stations moving
from UHF to VHF channels to specify an antenna that would result in a larger contour, subject
only to not causing new interference to other stations.
Second, after the FCC has substantially completed processing of applications filed
immediately following the auction, the FCC will announce an opportunity for stations to request
an alternate channel, or to seek “expanded facilities” on their new channels, subject to not
causing new interference to other stations. These might include changes in height above average
terrain, effective radiated power and transmitter location, including changes that would result in
an increase in the station’s contour more than 1% in any direction.
As a result of the FCC’s mandate to replicate coverage areas in the auction and repack
process, and the two opportunities to improve original FCC-specified facilities, we hope and
expect that MATC’s stations will replicate their over-the-air coverage.
In addition to over-the-air reception by viewers, MATC relies on carriage of the WMVS
and WMVT signals by cable systems operated by Time Warner, Charter, Comcast and AT&T
U-verse and direct broadcast satellite (“DBS”) carriers DirecTV and Dish Network. A
substantial majority of station viewers receive their signals over cable or satellite. Thus, an
analysis of coverage replication requires consideration of cable and DBS carriage of the WMVS
and WMVT signals.
The requirement of a cable system to carry a noncommercial educational station’s signal
is dependent on whether the cable system’s principal head-end is located either within the
coverage contour (the noise-limited contour) of the station or within 50 miles of the reference
point of the station’s city of license. Thus, cable systems are currently required to carry the
primary streams of WMVS and/or WMVT if their principal head-ends are located in the stations’
coverage contours or within 50 miles of the reference point of the city of Milwaukee.
May 29, 2015
Page 7
In the auction and repack, it is contemplated that the coverage contour of WMVS and
WMVT will be replicated (other than in the context of a channel share, in which case the WMVT
contour will become the same as the WMVS contour), and there will be no change in either
station’s city of license. Thus, any carriage of the stations’ primary streams pursuant to the FCC
must-carry rules should continue without disruption.
We understand that, among the cable systems, Comcast (which carries WMVS’s primary
stream only) and AT&T U-verse (which carries WMVS’s and WMVT’s primary streams) are
probably the only systems that are carrying signals pursuant to the must-carry requirements of
the FCC. We also understand that Comcast may not be carrying the WMVT primary signal
because that station’s signal does not reach the Comcast head-end. In these circumstances,
existing signal carriage requirements will remain in place following the auction and repack.
Indeed, in the event that WMVT ultimately comes to share the WMVS signal, it may be possible
for MATC to request carriage of WMVT’s primary stream (36.1) on the Comcast system, as the
WMVS signal will then reach the Comcast headend.
We understand that Time Warner and Charter are carrying primary streams and multiple
multicast streams of both WMVS and WMVT. In the case of Time Warner, which carries all of
the over-the-air streams of both stations, this carriage may be voluntary, resulting from a
historically good relationship between MATC and Time Warner in the area. In the case of
Charter, which carries the primary streams of both stations as well as four of their multicast
streams, such carriage may be required by an industry agreement entered into years ago by the
NCTA (National Cable Television Association) and public television representatives. That
agreement provides for carriage of both primary and non-duplicated multicast signals in certain
circumstances. In both cases, their carriage of the stations’ signals should not be affected by
MATC’s participation in the spectrum auction and repack, other than if a channel sharing
arrangement results from the auction, in which case the total number of multicast signals
transmitted over the stations may be reduced, and some of the existing multicast signals may no
longer be available for cable carriage.
The requirement of a DBS carrier to carry a noncommercial educational station’s signal
is dependent on the market in which the station is located. If a DBS carrier provides service to a
market and carries the signal of any local television station, it is required to carry all local
television stations in that market upon request. Thus, DirecTV and Dish Network are required
to carry the WMVS and WMVT signals because both carriers provide service in the Milwaukee
market (the market being the Milwaukee Designated Market Area, or “DMA”), both carriers
carry local television stations, and they are therefore required to carry the primary streams of all
local television signals upon request. Both carriers do indeed carry the WMVS and WMVT
primary programming streams.
In the auction and repack, we foresee no change to the Milwaukee DMA or to the
assignment of WMVS and WMVT to the Milwaukee DMA. Thus, existing DBS carriage of the
stations should also continue without disruption.

CONCLUSION
In this report, we have outlined the legal activities and costs associated with the various
possible outcomes of the FCC’s auction and repack process, and we have provided an analysis of
coverage replication for the stations. We would invite any additional or follow up questions that
MATC might have.

Reminder of the Different Options for MATC
in FCC Reverse Auction
Stations Can…
OPTION 3
NOT PARTICIPATE
Go off the air and
obtain the proceeds
from the reverse auction
OPTION 1
Opt for new VHF channels
in their local markets and obtain
proceeds from the reverse auction
OPTION 2
Channel share with another
station or stations in the market
(can be either commercial or noncommercial) and share in the proceeds
from shared stations going off the air
3
Option 1
Move WMVT (Channel 35) to a Possible New VHF Channel
 Proceeds from FCC would be less than
completely relinquishing the license, but
still substantial
 Suffer from poorer reception on VHF
channel with existing power levels
 Difficulty/Possible inability to offer
mobile services as devices need longer
antenna to be received effectively even
with new ATSC 3.0
4
Option 1
(cont’d)
 Proceeds from FCC would be less than completely
relinquishing the license, but still substantial
 Milwaukee stations encroach on Chicago market substantially
 Very congested UHF spectrum in these markets
 FCC will need MANY volunteers in these markets to clear up
enough spectrum
 Resulting prices paid for relinquishing license or moving to
VHF channel will be substantial
 Potential to reinvest these proceeds into new programming
and other services
5
Option 1
(cont’d)
 Suffer from poorer reception on VHF channel with
existing power levels
 High VHF stations have greater difficulty in reaching audiences
over the air with existing power levels
 FCC has suggested that they may be open for increased power
levels after the repacking
 Extreme uncertainty about increased power levels given the
significant number of VHF stations operating now and in the
future in this geographic area
6
Option 1
(cont’d)
 Difficulty receiving on mobile devices (longer
antenna need that will not fit in mobile devices)
 Mobile advertising is fastest growing sector of local media
marketplace
 Existing Mobile DTV service rolled out several years ago and was
NOT successful




Not provided throughout the U.S.
Programming was not compelling
Difficulty in receiving signals
Extra external hardware required
7
Option 1
(cont’d)
 New transmission technology (ATSC
3.0) will be more robust when
transmitting to mobile devices
 Still in development
 Several years for deployment and acceptance
by consumers in television receivers: 3 to 5
years optimistically
 Several years for deployment by mobile
device (phones, tablets) makers
 Very likely that phone manufacturers will
not put in VHF antennas– too few VHF
stations with more challenging
requirements
8
Option 2
WMVT (Channel 35) or WMVS (Channel 8) Channel Sharing
 One possibility: channel share with each other and retain the two
licenses (other PBS stations are considering this option)
 If WMVT moves to WMVS




Largest amount of proceeds since MATC would be relinquishing a UHF
channel
Suffer from the same constraints as moving to a new VHF channel as
discussed before
Increased reach of WMVT
Reduced number and/or over-the-air quality of multicast signals
 If WMVS moves to WMVT



Smaller amount of proceeds (50-67% of UHF amounts) since MATC would
be relinquishing a VHF channel
Improved technical properties of WMVS signal on UHF band
Reduced number and/or over-the-air quality of multicast signals
9
Option 2
WMVT (Channel 35) or WMVS (Channel 8) Channel Sharing
(cont’d)
 Another possibility: channel share with another
commercial station in market and retain the 2 licenses
 If WMVS channel shares with another local UHF
station
 Need to share some of proceeds with new
“partner”

Still substantial amounts of proceeds to reinvest
in new programming and new services
 Reduced number and/or over-the-air quality of
multicast signals
 Improved technical properties of WMVS signal
on UHF band
10
Option 3
Relinquishing the License of Either WMVS or WMVT
 Less proceeds (50-67%) from relinquishing
WMVS license instead of WMVT
 Still should be very substantial to reinvest in new
programming and/or new services
 Relinquishing WMVT license leads to the
disadvantages presently and in future (with
ATSC 3.0) of having a VHF transmission
11
Summary
 MATC has several options to strengthen its financial
position while still providing services to local
community
 Weighing the disadvantages of VHF transmission
versus the financial payments of moving off UHF
spectrum
 Possibility of increased power might mitigate some of these
disadvantages
 Introduction of new transmission technology still several
years off
 Mobile services, while attractive, may not be so compelling
 Other option of channel sharing can lead to some
strengthening of financial position without
disadvantaging the signal properties

This report provides an evaluation for Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC) to consider
utilizing a VHF channel to replace the current UHF service for WMVT DTV channel 35 should that
channel be relinquished in the FCC Repack. The scope of the project was to evaluate what VHF
channels may be suitable for replacing the existing WMVT coverage and service to its viewership
and then to develop a plan and estimate the cost of such a plan. The analysis consists of area
and population coverage, interference analysis to other existing stations on each VHF High Band
channel, and a thorough estimate of the materials and services needed to implement a new VHF
channel.
Accordingly, the report is broken down into three sections in a natural flow sequence covering:
(1) potential interference making certain assumptions regarding the repack which will determine
the coverage area, (2) population and area to be served including a comparison to WMVS, and
(3) the cost of building and making a new VHF transmission system operational.
INTERFERENCE ANALYSIS POTENTIAL
Interference to other potential stations is the prime limiting factor in determining the Effective
Radiated Power (ERP) for a VHF channel with Milwaukee as its transmission origin. Therefore,
the issue of interference with potential other stations is addressed first. In order to assess the
interference potential to VHF facilities Channels 7 through 13 were evaluated with the exception
of channel 8 (because WMVS already operates on this channel). The post-repack scenario is not
known. However, it was assumed that stations already on these channels would remain in place
with their existing ERP and coverage area. This assumption was determined by looking at the
amount of spectrum needed versus what could be cleared. The Middle Class Tax Reform Act
asserts that the FCC would make all reasonable efforts to preserve existing coverage area and
population served. Thus, these channels would be “repurposed” only if the spectrum clearing
target was not met by obtaining sufficient UHF spectrum. On the basis of this assumption,
individual channel interference analyses were executed for channels 7, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13. The
results of the analysis yielded that channel 7 and 9 were both good candidates with equal
coverage capability and an ERP of about 20 kW. The other channels resulted in the very low ERP
still with significant interference present to existing stations. An antenna pattern equivalent to
WMVS was used as the initial selection target since it is known that this pattern it could be
duplicated and it makes better use of transmitter power rather than using an omni pattern, which
would radiate over Lake Michigan. After channels 7 & 9, three of the other four channels required
another antenna to be substituted in order to get any ERP at all for minimal coverage. The table
below indicates the channel evaluated, the station-licensee receiving the most interference on
that channel, the community of license, and the approximate maximum ERP available for WMVT
to operate on that channel without exceeding the threshold of interference.

None of the stations listed above are likely to relinquish their spectrum because it likely means
moving to Low Band channels 2-6 which have significant obstacles to overcome. Those obstacles
are known and can be covered independently from this report. If one station were to relinquish its
spectrum and move it could likely be WLUK as it has a duopoly in the market. Hypothetically, it
could transfer its Fox affiliate status to channel 14 and move the CW service to the lowband
channel. If this were to occur, use of channel 11 would be attractive since it would likely offer a
higher ERP (close to the existing 32 kW for WMVS) than either channel 7 or 9.
COVERAGE ANALYSIS AND ASSESSMENT
To maintain the reliability of the MATC DTV signal and the transmission facilities that produce it,
the most appropriate action was to maximize the coverage for the available ERP for channels 7
or 9. To establish as much signal as possible elliptical polarization was chosen as opposed to
Horizontal only. The potential of multiplexing channel 7 or 9 into the channel 8 antenna was
considered. However, two factors favor the selection of a new antenna and transmission line.
The expected VSWR for operation on channel 7 or 9 (channel 9 was 1.3:1 and channel 7 was
even higher) and the critical transmission line length for channel 8 versus channel 9 would dictate
that channel 9 would need 19.5 foot lengths instead of the channel 8 use of 20 foot sections. So
this option is not viable for reliable operation. Channel 7 can use the same 20 foot lengths as
channel 8 but the VSWR was still the limiting factor. Channels 7 and 9 were evaluated as the
primary channels to assess coverage at the ERP of roughly 20 kW. Another constraint assumed
was that the existing MATC tower site and maximum height would be used. Other sites could be
considered but the financial impact of site development was considered to be not worth the time
and financial resources required. To address auxiliary or backup transmission, it was assumed
that an auxiliary antenna similar in design to the channel 7 or 9 antenna for the MATC tower
would be mounted on the “Sinclair” tower above the channel 8 WMVS antenna.
When channel 7 or 9 was evaluated using the same azimuth pattern as channel 8 in both
horizontal and vertical polarizations, the maximum ERP that could be achieved is roughly 20 kW.
With this ERP figure a coverage comparison with WMVS facility was executed. Coverage and
interference maps for channel 7 and channel 9 are separate attachments.

COST OF IMPLEMENTATION FOR NEW TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS
It is proposed to modify both the MATC (4350 Humboldt) and the Sinclair tower (4400 Humboldt)
transmission sites and upgrade the facilities where possible. Proposals to modify both main and
auxiliary transmission sites were obtained from ERI since they did the most recent work and are
most familiar with the transmission systems.
MATC TOWER (Candelabra) Project Scope
To build the channel 7/9 facility, the channel 35 antenna would be removed and replaced with a
new antenna similar in design to the channel 8 WMVS antenna. The existing 6“ transmission line
would be replaced by new 4 1/16” components of the proper length sections for the channel
chosen.
SINCLAIR TOWER (“T” Bar Tower) Project Scope
To build the auxiliary channel 7/9 facility, the channel 35 antenna would be removed and replaced
with a new antenna similar in design to the channel 8 WMVS antenna but shorter than the
channel 8 antenna. The height of the antenna was adjusted so that the stack would be no taller
than the existing channel 35 antenna and no modification to the ASR would be required. This
results in the antenna being a 4 bay slot antenna as compared to the 6 bay antenna utilized for
channel 8. With the fewer number of bays, the elevation pattern will be broader but the
transmitter power will increase a little. The existing Marmon transmission line for both WMVS and
WMVT for this tower and between buildings would be replaced by new 4 1/16” components of the
proper length sections. The replacement of the Marmon line should improve the VSWR and also
the overall reliability of the auxiliary system.
TRANSMITTER REQUIREMENTS
Using the 4 bay antenna resulted in slightly higher transmitter power level but the transmitter
requirements are still modest. The maximum TPO of 7.5 kW is estimated to achieve the 20 kW
ERP on the Sinclair Tower. A proposal for a transmitter with a minimum TPO of 8 kW was
solicited so as to provide an estimate of the total cost of the RF facilities conversion. A copy of
the proposal for both a liquid-cooled transmitter and an air-cooled transmitter is provided. The
rough cost of the transmitter including dual exciter option and installation (depending on whether
air-cooled or liquid-cooled is chosen) is $230,000.
ANTENNA, TRANSMISSION LINE, AND INSTALLATION COSTS
The attached ERI proposal identifies the cost of procuring and installing new antennas and
removing existing channel 35 antennas. It also includes the installation of the new transmission
line and the removal of the old line. The estimated cost to do this is $1,270,000 in round
numbers. For the quote purposes, channel 9 was chosen.
OTHER COSTS
The total equipment (transmitter, line, and antenna) and installation charge is roughly $1,500,000.
There will be some engineering costs associated with the applications, and coordination with the
suppliers of the equipment, etc. So a figure of $1,550,000 would be an adequate number for a
target budget associated with this project at this time. A more detailed study would provide more
accuracy.
SUMMARY
This DTV report has had to make several assumptions with regard to the stations remaining on
the air and with regard to practical decisions on site development and the amount of investment
for reliable systems to operate. Most of these decisions have significant cost impact and the
scenarios can be adjusted as the factors are changed. Note that only the RF transmission
facilities costs have been identified and other items that are related to the RF transmission
facilities, or that process the signal presented to the RF transmission sites (encoders, studio-totransmitter link, multiplexers, monitoring equipment, test equipment, etc.) are not included.

MOUNTING FLANGE BOLT CIRCLE2: Quantity (16), 1.38 inch holes for 1.25 inch bolts, equally spaced
on a 21.50 inch bolt circle.
This antenna is designed to be supported by a structure that can resist the antenna base reactions and
which provides a support that is rigid in the three translational and three rotational degrees of freedom.
1 Please note, the listed weights and effective wind areas are based on the PRELIMINARY design of the antenna.
Final As-Built values for the antenna are typically within +/-10% of the Preliminary design values, and will be provided
in the technical manual that accompanies the antenna. Specified loads include the antenna, beacon and lightning
spurs only. Custom mounting brackets/adapters and/or antenna input section are NOT included.
2 The mounting flange specified is the standard ERI mounting flange used for this antenna configuration. In those
instances where an existing top mounted antenna is being replaced the antenna supplied will be designed with a
mounting flange to match that of the existing antenna unless electrical and /or mechanical requirements for the new
antenna preclude the matching flange. Customer responsible for supplying verified flange requirements for the
flange configuration being matched.
3 Based on a wind speed of 90 miles per hour MPH (fastest mile) no ice and 40 MPH with 0.75-inches in base design
ice (2.10-inches actual tiz) with a height above ground level (HAGL) of 1099 feet per ANSI/TIA-222-G. Structure
Class II, Exposure Category C and Topographic Category I. EPA values include four lightning spurs & a standard
beacon.
NOTE: The purchaser or their representative shall be required to contact the tower owner, state and/or local
building officials for specific design requirements and suitable parameters for a particular structure. Any
variation from the parameters shown above must be communicated to ERI for comprehensive assessment.

MOUNTING FLANGE BOLT CIRCLE2: Quantity (16), 1.38 inch holes for 1.25 inch bolts, equally spaced
on a 21.50 inch bolt circle.
This antenna is designed to be supported by a structure that can resist the antenna base reactions and
which provides a support that is rigid in the three translational and three rotational degrees of freedom.
1 Please note, the listed weights and effective wind areas are based on the PRELIMINARY design of the antenna.
Final As-Built values for the antenna are typically within +/-10% of the Preliminary design values, and will be provided
in the technical manual that accompanies the antenna. Specified loads include the antenna, beacon and lightning
spurs only. Custom mounting brackets/adapters and/or antenna input section are NOT included.
2 The mounting flange specified is the standard ERI mounting flange used for this antenna configuration. In those
instances where an existing top mounted antenna is being replaced the antenna supplied will be designed with a
mounting flange to match that of the existing antenna unless electrical and /or mechanical requirements for the new
antenna preclude the matching flange. Customer responsible for supplying verified flange requirements for the
flange configuration being matched.
3 Based on a wind speed of 90 miles per hour MPH (fastest mile) no ice and 40 MPH with 0.75-inches in base design
ice (2.10-inches actual tiz) with a height above ground level (HAGL) of 1099 feet per ANSI/TIA-222-G. Structure
Class II, Exposure Category C and Topographic Category I. EPA values include four lightning spurs & a standard
beacon.
NOTE: The purchaser or their representative shall be required to contact the tower owner, state and/or local
building officials for specific design requirements and suitable parameters for a particular structure. Any
variation from the parameters shown above must be communicated to ERI for comprehensive assessment.

ncement of performance and/or delivery shall
be for Buyer's convenience only and shall not be deemed or construed to be acceptance of Buyer's terms and conditions. If a contract is not earlier

1.7 Change Orders: Buyer change orders must be in writing and no cha
change
nge shall be made pursuant to this clause unless agreed to in writing and
signed by duly authorized representatives of ERI and Buyer. If any such change causes an increase or decrease in the cost or the time required for

commence any extra or changed work without written agreement as to adjustments to contract price and delivery schedules affected
affec
thereby.
1.8 Assignments and Terminations: Any assignment by Buyer of any contract created by the Proposal without the express written consent of ERI
is void. No order may be terminated by Buyer except by mutual agreement in writing. Terminations by mutual agreement
agreem
are subject to the following
conditions: (a) Buyer will pay, at applicable contract prices, for all Products which are completely manufactured and allocable to Buyer at the
t time of
ERI's receipt of a request for mutual termination; (b) Buyer will pay all costs, direct and indirect, which have been incurred by ERI with regard to
Products which have not been completely manufactured at the time of ERI's receipt of a request for mutual termination, plus a pro rata portion of

notice shall be subject to a 20% re-stocking
stocking charge. (e) Orders for non-standard
standard products or specially manufactured products may be canceled
prior to the start of manufacture provided Buyer reimburses ERI for any actual costs incurred on th
the
e order prior to the effective cancellation date. After
manufacture commences, orders for non-standard
standard products or specially manufactured products may not be canceled. In the event Buyer terminates
such orders, Buyer shall be liable to ERI for termination charges, including, but not limited to, reasonable profits. ERI's normal accounting practices
shall be used to determine costs and other charges. To reduce termination charges, ERI will divert completed parts, material or work in process from
terminated contracts to other Buyers whenever, in ERI's sole discretion, it is practicable to do so.
1.9 Damages and Liability: ERI'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY IN DAMAGES OR OTHERWISE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE PAYMENT, IF ANY,
RECEIVED BY ERI FOR THE UNIT OF PRODUCT OR SERV
SERVICE
ICE FURNISHED OR TO BE FURNISHED, AS THE CASE MAY BE, WHICH IS THE
SUBJECT OF CLAIM OR DISPUTE. IN NO EVENT SHALL ERI BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, LIQUIDATED, OR SPECIAL
DAMAGES, HOWSOEVER CAUSED. Liability to third parties for bodily injury, including death, resulting from ERI's performance shall be determined
in accordance with applicable law and shall not be affected by the liability limitations stated above in this paragraph.

resolved in a court of competent jurisdiction in the County of Warrick in the State of Indiana or the United States District Court for the Southern District
of Indiana, Evansville
le Division, and in no other place. Provided, that in ERI's sole discretion, such action may be heard in some other place
designated by ERI if necessary to acquire jurisdiction over third persons so that the dispute can be resolved in one action. Buyer hereby consents to
the jurisdiction of such court or courts and agrees to appear in any such action upon written notice thereof. No action, regardless of form, arising out
of, or in any way connected with, the Products or Services furnished by ERI, may be brought by Buyer more than one (1) year after the cause of action
has occurred. If any part, provision or clause of these `Terms and Conditions of sale, or the application thereof to any person or circumstances,
circumst
is
held invalid, void or unenforceable, such
h holding shall not affect and shall leave valid all other parts, provisions, clauses or applications of these Terms
and Conditions remaining, and to this end these Terms and Conditions shall be treated as severable.
1.11.1 No
o delay or failure on the part of ERI in exercising any right or remedy under any contract resulting from, and/or partial or single
exercise thereof, shall constitute a waiver of such right or any other remedy. ERI's rights and remedies under any contract resulting here
from are cumulative and not alternative.
1.11.2 If any term of any contract resulting here from or the application thereof shall be illegal, such illegality shall not affect any other
term or condition thereof, and such shall continue in full force and effect.

company at the time of delivery, and all freight and insurance costs shall be for Buyer's account. Risk of loss and/or damage shall pass to Buyer upon
delivery of the Products to the transportation company at the FOB point whether or not installation is provided by or under supervision
s
of
ERI. Confiscation or destruction of, or damage to Products shall not release, reduce or in any way affect the liability of Buyer
therefore. Notwithstanding any defect or nonconformity, or any other matter, such risk of loss and/or damage shall remain in Buyer until the Products
are returned at Buyer's expense to such place as ERI may designate, in writing. Buyer, at its expense, shall fully insure Products against all loss
and/or damage until ERI has been paid in full or the Products have been returned for whatever reason to ERI. All Products must be inspected upon
receiptt and claims should be filed with the transportation company when there is evidence of shipping damage, either concealed or external.
e
As used
in the clauses appearing herein or attached hereto, "delivery" shall occur when the Product is delivered at the F

nonconformity is received by ERI within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Product at Buyer's designated receiving address, provided,
p
that for Products
for which ERI agrees, in writing, to perform acceptance
ptance testing after installation, the completion of ERI's applicable acceptance test, or execution of
ERI's acceptance form by Buyer, shall constitute acceptance of the Product by Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any use of a Product by Buyer,
its agents,
gents, employees, contractors or licensees, for any purpose, after receipt thereof, shall constitute acceptance of that Product
Produ by Buyer. ERI may
repair or, at its option, replace defective or nonconforming parts after receipt of notice of defect or nonco
nonconformity.
2.3 Shipment Delays/Billing in Place: Upon completion of Buyer's order, any delay in shipment attributable to Buyer, including, but not limited to,
Buyer's request to defer the delivery date, shall cause the following to occur: Thirty (30) days after the original shipment date, a storage charge of
1½% of the invoice price per month will be billed to Buyer and title to the shipment will automatically pass to Buyer. ERI will invoice Buyer for
completed goods and Buyer will pay in accordance w
with
ith the terms of the original sale, as the goods will be deemed to have shipped in place. ERI will

2.8.8 Any defective warranted component of an ERI product will be repaired or replaced at the place of manufacture, ex-works,
ex
without
charge if all defective components are returned by the Buyer to ERI, and ERI inspection discloses that such defects are as reported
re
and
are not the result of ERI Exclusions.
2.8.9 Under some circumstances, continuity of service may necessitate immediate shipment of repair parts before ERI inspection of
defective parts. Under these conditions, ERI requires that Buyer place an order for replacement parts and will require that all defective
parts be packaged and returned for factory inspection and determination of warranty status. If failure is determined to be covered by
this warranty, credit will be issued for parts ordered by Buyer to expedite replacement.

Dear Al:
Current Status
The Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC) currently prefunds the other postemployment
benefits (OPEB), which includes medical and life insurance coverage for retirees. As of July 1,
2015, the OPEB plan was 17% funded. Results of the most recent valuation are shown below.

Recent Changes to the Plan
MATC has undertaken several significant initiatives as a response to managing this liability.
These initiatives include the following tangible actions: (a) established a separate trust for prefunding the liability, (b) closed the plan to new entrants (hires) so that they are not eligible for
OPEB benefits, (c) fully funded the Actuarial Required Contribution (ARC) for the most recent
fiscal year, and (d) moved from a self-funded plan for post-65 retirees to a Medicare Advantage
Supplemental Plan sponsored by UnitedHealthcare. As a result, the UAAL has decreased to $118
million currently from over $260 million at the last valuation.
Key Findings
This research study has gathered financial information from the records of state governments,
county governments, and educational institutes. Its purpose is to compare MATC’s funding
method and funded status to those of comparable worth within each category.
States
According to a recent survey by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, total unfunded OPEB liabilities
have been stable, decreasing by 0.1% in 2014 and 3% in 2013, suggesting an emerging trend of
the overall stability despite the fact that most actuarial accrued liabilities remain largely
unfunded. 1 Funding rations for OPEB liability are significantly lower than pension liabilities;
therefore, most states fund OPEB on a pay-as-you-go basis. As of November 2014, 93% of the total
liability for states is unfunded. 2
In 2014, the average liability for the 228 governments reporting a liability was $53.5 million. Sixtyone percent indicated they would not prefund, but rather continue the pay-as-you-go approach
(up from 51% in 2011). About 24% plan to partially or fully fund their annual required
contribution (ARC), up from 22% in 2011. 3
Counties in Wisconsin
Annual financial reports, that were readily available via the internet, were pulled to compare
Wisconsin’s counties’ OPEB funding policy. These counties included Milwaukee County, Racine
County, Kenosha County, Walworth County, and Sheboygan County. All are located in the general
area of MATC. According to the financial reports, Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha, and Sheboygan
counties do not prefund their OPEB. Walworth County fully prefunds their retiree medical. 4
Area Technical Colleges
A comparison of technical colleges throughout the state of Wisconsin revealed that most use the
pay-as-you-go method to fund OPEB. Of the eight Wisconsin technical colleges compared in this
study, only three prefund their OPEB, these include Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College,
Blackhawk Technical College District, and Mid-State Technical College. The rest of the technical
colleges use a pay-as-you-go method.
This study went further to include a small sampling of community colleges. Based on fiscal
yearend financial statements from these colleges, which were readily available on the internet,
80% do not prefund their OPEB. They are all paid fully on a pay-as-you-go basis. Ten percent
partially prefund their plans ranging from 36-38% prefunded. Ten percent fully fund their plans.
Conclusion
Determining which funding ratio works best – from pay-as-you-go (0%) to fully funded (100%) to
overfunding (110%) – will vary from employer to employer. However, the pay-as-you-go method
appears to be a viable option for MATC at the current time – especially in light of the current prefunding, closure of the plan, and comparison to similar organizations.
Please review the attached slides for more information. Thanks for the opportunity to assist with
this project. Let us know if additional information or explanation would be helpful.
Sincerely,
David L. Shaub, FSA

paid or otherwise extinguished. The District Treasurer shall deposit in such Debt Service
Fund (i) all accrued interest received by the District at the time of delivery of and payment
for the Notes; (ii) the taxes herein levied for the specific purpose of meeting principal of and
interest on the Notes when due; (iii) such other sums as may be necessary at any time to

received by the District above the par value of the Notes and accrued interest thereon; (v)
surplus moneys in the Borrowed Money Fund for the Notes; and (vi) such further deposits

taxes from the next succeeding tax collection may be invested in direct obligations of the

principal and interest payments on the Notes may be used to reduce the next succeeding
tax levy, or may, at the option of the District, be invested by purchasing the Notes as
permitted by and subject to Section 67.11(2)(a) of the Wisconsin Statutes in interestbearing obligations of the United States of America, in other obligations of the District or in
other investments permitted by law, which investments shall continue as a part of the Debt
Service Fund.

investments disposed of, any money remaining in the Debt Service Fund shall be
deposited in the general fund of the District, unless the District Board directs otherwise.

segregated accounts in a public depository selected under Chapter 34 of the Wisconsin
Statutes and may be temporarily invested until needed in legal investments subject to the
provisions of Sections 66.0603(1m) and 67.10(3) of the Wisconsin Statutes. All income
derived from such investments shall be regarded as revenues of the District. No such
investment shall be in such a manner as would cause the Notes to be “arbitrage bonds”

Internal Revenue thereunder.
The District Treasurer shall, on the basis of the facts, estimates and circumstances
in existence on the date of closing, make such certifications as are necessary to permit the

closing date, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Note Purchase
Agreement.

Statement, and their use as contemplated in the Note Purchase Agreement, are hereby
approved. The Preliminary Official Statement is “deemed final” as of its date, except for
omissions or subsequent modifications permitted under Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The Chairperson, the Vice Chairperson and Secretary of the
District are authorized and directed to do any and all acts necessary to conclude delivery of
the Notes to the Underwriter, as soon after adoption of this Resolution as is convenient.
Section 11. Book-Entry Only Notes. The Notes shall be transferable as follows:
(a)
Each maturity of Notes will be issued as a single Note in the name of the
Securities Depository, or its nominee, which will act as depository for the Notes. During the
term of the Notes, ownership and subsequent transfers of ownership will be reflected by
book entry on the records of the Securities Depository and those financial institutions for
whom the Securities Depository effects book entry transfers (collectively, the
“Participants”). No person for whom a Participant has an interest in Notes (a “Beneficial
Owner”) shall receive bond certificates representing their respective interest in the Notes
except in the event that the Securities Depository or the District shall determine, at its
option, to terminate the book-entry system described in this Section. Payment of principal
of, and interest on, the Notes will be made by the Fiscal Agent to the Securities Depository
which will in turn remit such payment of principal and interest to its Participants which will in
turn remit such principal and interest to the Beneficial Owners of the Notes until and unless
the Securities Depository or the District elect to terminate the book entry system,
whereupon the District shall deliver bond certificates to the Beneficial Owners of the Notes
or their nominees. Note certificates issued under this Section may not be transferred or
exchanged except as provided in this Section.
(b)
Upon the reduction of the principal amount of any maturity of Notes, the
Registered Noteowner may make a notation of such redemption on the panel of the Note,
stating the amount so redeemed, or may return the Note to the District for exchange for a
new Note in a proper principal amount. Such notation, if made by the Noteowner, may be
made for reference only, and may not be relied upon by any other person as being in any
way determinative of the principal amount of such Note Outstanding, unless the Note
Registrar initialed the notation on the panel.
(c)
Immediately upon delivery of the Notes to the purchasers thereof on the
delivery date, such purchasers shall deposit the bond certificates representing all of the
Notes with the Securities Depository. The Securities Depository, or its nominee, will be the
6
sole Noteowner of the Notes, and no investor or other party purchasing, selling or
otherwise transferring ownership of any Notes will receive, hold or deliver any bond
certificates as long as the Securities Depository holds the Notes immobilized from
circulation.
(d)
The Notes may not be transferred or exchanged except:
(1)
To any successor of the Securities Depository (or its nominee) or any
substitute depository (“Substitute Depository”) designated pursuant to (ii) below,
provided that any successor of the Securities Depository or any Substitute
Depository must be a qualified and registered “clearing agency” as provided in
Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended;
(2)
To a Substitute Depository designated by or acceptable to the District
upon (a) the determination by the Securities Depository that the Notes shall no
longer be eligible for depository services or (b) a determination by the District that
the Securities Depository is no longer able to carry out its functions, provided that
any such Substitute Depository must be qualified to act as such, as provided in
subparagraph (1) above; or
(3)
To those persons to whom transfer is requested in written transfer
instructions in the event that:
(i)
The Securities Depository shall resign or discontinue its
services for the Notes and, only if the District is unable to locate a qualified
successor within two months following the resignation or determination of
noneligibility, or
(ii)
Upon a determination by the District that the continuation of the
book entry system described herein, which precludes the issuance of
certificates to any Noteowner other than the Securities Depository (or its
nominee) is no longer in the best interest of the Beneficial Owners of the
Notes.
(e)
The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, is hereby appointed
the Securities Depository for the Notes.
Section 12. Undertaking to Provide Continuing Disclosure. The (i) Chairperson or
the Vice Chairperson and (ii) Secretary of the District are hereby authorized and directed to
execute on behalf of the District, the Continuing Disclosure Agreement in connection with
the Notes for the purpose of complying with the requirements of Rule 15c2-12 promulgated
by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended.
7
Section 13. Compliance with Federal Tax Laws.
(a)
The District represents and covenants that the project financed by the Notes
and their ownership, management and use will not cause the Notes to be “private activity
bonds” within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code, and the District shall comply with
the provisions of the Code to the extent necessary to maintain the tax-exempt status of the
interest on the Notes.
(b)
The District also covenants to use its best efforts to meet the requirements
and restrictions of any different or additional federal legislation which may be made
applicable to the Notes, provided that in meeting such requirements the District will do so
only to the extent consistent with the proceedings authorizing the Notes and the laws of
Wisconsin, and to the extent there is a reasonable period of time in which to comply.
Section 14. Rebate Fund. If necessary, the District shall establish and maintain, so
long as the Notes are outstanding, a separate account to be known as the “Rebate Fund”
for the purpose of complying with the rebate requirements of Section 148(f) of the Code.
The Rebate Fund is for the sole purpose of paying rebate to the United States of America,
if any, on amounts of bond proceeds held by the District. The District hereby covenants
and agrees that it shall pay from the Rebate Fund the rebate amounts as determined
herein to the United States of America.
The District may engage the services of accountants, attorneys, or other consultants
necessary to assist it in determining rebate amounts. Amounts held in the Rebate Fund
and the investment income therefrom are not pledged as security for the Notes and may
only be used to pay amounts to the United States. The District shall maintain or cause to
be maintained records of such determinations until six (6) years after payment in full of the
Notes and shall make such records available upon reasonable request therefor.
Section 15. Defeasance. When all Notes have been discharged, all pledges,
covenants and other rights granted to the owners thereof by this Resolution shall cease.
The District may discharge all Notes due on any date by irrevocably depositing in escrow
with a suitable bank or trust company a sum of cash and/or bonds or securities issued or
guaranteed as to principal and interest of the U.S. Government, or of a commission, board
or other instrumentality of the U.S. Government (“Government Obligations”), or of
securities wholly and irrevocably secured as to principal and interest by Government
Obligations and rated in the highest rating category of a nationally recognized rating
service, maturing on the dates and bearing interest at the rates required to provide funds
sufficient to pay when due the interest to accrue on each of said Note to its maturity or, at
the District's option, if said Note is prepayable to any prior date upon which it may be called
for redemption, and to pay and redeem the principal amount of each such Note at maturity,
or at the District's option, if said Note is prepayable, at its earliest redemption date, with the
premium required for such redemption, if any, provided that notice of the redemption of all
prepayable Notes on such date has been duly given or provided for.

District, the Governing Body thereof, and any and all officers and agents thereof including,

purposes of this Resolution and to comply with and perform the obligations of the District
under the Notes. The execution or written approval of any document by the Chairperson,
the Vice Chairperson or Secretary of the District herein authorized shall be conclusive
evidence of the approval by the District of such document in accordance with the terms
hereof.
In the event that said officers shall be unable by reason of death, disability, absence
or vacancy of office to perform in timely fashion any of the duties specified herein (such as
the execution of Notes), such duties shall be performed by the officer or official succeeding

Attendance and Punctuality
Reliable and consistent attendance of employees is essential to the
successful operations of the College and service of our students. In this
policy, “absence” refers to the failure of employees to be present at their
scheduled work location at the start of their scheduled work time.
The College expects that all foreseeable absences will be prearranged with
and approved by a supervisor in advance of the absence unless there is an
extenuating circumstance. When an employee is aware of a need for
absences for an extended period of time, such as absences for medical
treatment, the College expects employees to provide at least thirty (30)
days advance notice when possible.
Unscheduled absences include all absences from work without prior
authorization or an approved leave covering the absence. Unscheduled
absences include absences due to unforeseeable circumstances, such as
personal illness.
Supervisors are responsible for monitoring the attendance and punctuality
of employees and for maintaining attendance records. Supervisors will
review attendance records on a quarterly basis for excessive tardiness,
excessive absenteeism, absence from the designated work area, early
departures or other attendance-related behaviors of concern may lead to
disciplinary action.
Examples of excessive absenteeism include:
 No call, no show absences (reviewed immediately following the
absence)
 Unscheduled absences of four or more days in a month (reviewed
monthly)
 Unscheduled absences of 6 or more days in a quarter (reviewed at
the end of the quarter)
 Patterns of unscheduled absences – e.g., taking off every Monday,
Monday/Friday, or the same day each week (reviewed as
appropriate)
Unscheduled absences of less than 50% of the employee’s scheduled shift
including late arrivals to work will be counted as half an absence (.5) for
the purposes of excessive absenteeism.
Reporting of Absences
Employees are expected to report absences from work prior to the start of
the scheduled work day using Department procedures. Where the

Department does not have a procedure, employees are expected to contact
their supervisor by phone or email and leave a message informing the
supervisor of the absence and a general reason for the absence. A daily
call is expected unless a doctor’s documentation indicates a return date or
there are justifiable extenuating circumstances.
Employees are also responsible to report to a supervisor when the
employee anticipates being absent from the scheduled work area for an
unusual reason and/or for an extended period of time.
Absences from work for three (3) consecutive days without notice (no-call,
no-show) without a pre-approved leave or a valid explanation may be
considered job abandonment and subject to discipline up to and including
termination of employment. The circumstance will be reviewed by the
supervisor with the employee to determine if disciplinary action is needed.
Reviewing Attendance
Supervisors should discuss concerns about attendance with the employee
as soon as repeated absence or tardiness occurs. Supervisors are
responsible to review attendance information daily and to document
absenteeism in their Departments, including tardiness, extended breaks,
absence from the designated work area and early departures. Supervisors
are responsible to work with Human Resources to conduct systematic
attendance reviews.
In all cases of absence greater than three consecutive workdays, the
supervisor will immediately inform the Human Resources, Compensation
& Benefits staff of the attendance pattern for purposes of Family Medical
Leave Act (FMLA) and other leave administration.
Disciplinary Action
Please see the Employee Performance Policy, Progressive Discipline
section.

Hiring, Transfer and Promotion
Overview
Milwaukee Area Technical College is committed to recruitment and
selection procedures that are fair, consistent, and in compliance with
applicable federal and state employment laws and regulations.
It is the responsibility of the Hiring Manager to review all College policies
and procedures related to hiring. In doing so, one also must take into
consideration the current diversity of the workforce as well as any
established affirmative action goals for the vacant position or the hiring
division/department in general.
Definitions
Promotion: Any change in assignment that results in movement to a
position that is classified in a higher pay grade outside an employee’s
category than that of the original position, or move from a part-time
position to a full-time position within the College. A non-exempt employee
who is promoted shall be placed in the higher classification such that the
employee receives an increase in wages that is at least five percent.
Demotion: Any change in assignment resulting in movement to a
position that is classified in a lower pay grade than that of the original
position. In the event of a demotion, the individual will be placed in the
lower classification that results in the smallest rate decrease.
Lateral Transfer: A change in an employee’s assignment from one fulltime position to another full-time position or one part-time position to
another part-time position with the same title and rate of pay.
Categorical Transfer: A change in an employee’s assignment from one
full-time position to another full-time position or one part-time position to
another part-time position with a different title but in the same position
category.
Procedure
The College will post notice of vacant positions publicly using the College’s
recruiting and applicant tracking program. A closing date will be
identified for each posting. Existing employees who meet the
qualifications for the positon posted and who are not on probation may
apply at any time prior to the closing date specified in the posting.
October, 2015
Preference for vacant positions shall be given to Internal Transfer
Applicants.
For non-administrative positions, non-probationary employees applying
who are in the same title, if qualified, will be placed in the vacancy, based
on longevity with the college. Thereafter non-probationary employees
applying, who are in the same category shall be placed in the position, if
qualified, based on longevity with the College. In the event that more than
one transfer application is received, the transfer applicant with the longest
longevity with the College will be offered the position. Longevity with the
College will be based on full-time service for full-time positions and parttime service for part-time positions.
In the event there are no internal transfer applicants, the College will fill
the vacant, posted position with the best qualified internal or external
applicant. Selection of the best qualified applicant will be based upon jobrelated factors including the applicant’s experience, education, training,
work record, length of service with the College, including part-time
assignments in the same title as well as the College’s affirmative action
plan. Human Resources maintains a standard process for posting,
interviewing, and hiring personnel and is available for review on the
Human Resources portal page.
MATC encourages employees to apply for promotion and transfer
opportunities that fit the employee’s professional goals. Internal
applicants for vacant positions will be given fair consideration for
positions for which they are qualified. The three (3) internal candidates
meeting qualifications and having the most longevity with the College will
be guaranteed an interview for the vacant position. The College may also
select other internal applicants for interview based upon the applicant’s
qualifications for the position, regardless of longevity. Longevity is
calculated based upon the initial start date (of employment) with the
College. Part-time service will be prorated when calculating longevity.

not the course is judged relevant to the employee’s current job
responsibilities or a reasonable promotion objective within
MATC.
11) An employee who has a course paid for by a grant or scholarship
source other than MATC is not eligible for the Tuition Waiver
Program described in this policy.
