The Colorado Communications and Utility Alliance’s (CCUA) year-around efforts focus on technology policy, rights-of way issues, broadband deployment and communication practices. We are proud to offer our members timely information and aid in advocacy for local authorities.

9 - 10:15 a.m. Regulatory/Legislative Small Cells in the ROW

Concurrent Session I Main Hall

In 2017, the Colorado General Assembly passed legislation creating some limits in local government control over small cell wireless facilities in the public rights-of-way. Fourteen months later, the Federal Communications Commission adopted its own new rules which stated both that it preempted almost nothing in any of the state small cell laws, but then went on to adopt multiple provisions directly in conflict with Colorado’s legislation. This session will suggest various ways local governments can best comply with the Federal and State regulatory landscape, assert the regulatory control still available to preserve the aesthetics of our communities, and will also describe what one Colorado city is doing to manage small cell deployment as it navigates the legal hurdles. Panelists:

Ben Bolinger, Senior Attorney, Office of the City Attorney, City of Colorado Springs Dr. Jonathan M. Samet, MD, MS, Dean of Colorado School of Public Health Scott Harry, Government Relations Manager, West Region Small Cell & Fiber Solutions, Crown Castle

Moderator:

Geoff Wilson, Attorney, Murray Dahl Beery & Renaud L.L.P.

Conference Schedule Communications Game of Drones Be in the Know Before You Fly and Tell Your Story!

Small Hall

The FAA estimates that there will be over 7 million purchased commercial and recreational Unmanned Aircraft Systems (drones) filling our skies by 2020. Their rapidly expanding use has created both new opportunities as well as new legal and regulatory challenges that must be navigated just as skillfully as a drone must be piloted. Hear the very latest on the drone regulatory and legal front, suggestions for adopting good drone policies in your organization, and how awardwinning drone pilots use these aircraft to successfully to add new dimensions to their storytelling.

Brandon Dittman, Esq., Associate, Kissinger & Fellman, P.C. Christina Savan, Producer, AuroraTV

How are you delivering your content to the new “OTT” - Over The Top audience? Over the top (OTT) is a term used to refer to content providers that distribute streaming media as a standalone product directly to viewers over the Internet, bypassing telecommunications, multichannel television, and broadcast television platforms that traditionally act as a controller or distributor of such content. What are your results?

Communications Media Training for Elected Officials

Small Hall

Today’s media atmosphere is ever-changing. As elected officials and government staff, we see the effects of smaller staff at the larger media outlets and less experienced reporters having more of a presence throughout the state. Combine these factors with the competitive media atmosphere and we have the makings of very challenging situations for elected officials and their staffs. Knowing how best to meet the information needs of your community, while also managing how your messages are communicated with/to the media is a challenge. Seasoned communications professionals will give you, and those who train elected officials, the foundations of how to be successful. Panelists:

Todd Barnes, Communications Director, City of Thornton Patrick Von Keyserling, Director of Communications, City of Boulder Kelli Narde, Director of Communications & Marketing, City of Littleton

Moderator: Todd Barnes, Communications Director, City of Thornton
