FROM: RICHARD HARE, DEPUTY CITY MANAG A
ACTION• f
DATE: SEPTE14BER 110 1992
SUBJECT: CONSIDER THE TAPING OF AND CABLECAST OF
THE GENERAL PLAN UPDATE HEARINGS
Staff anticipates that these meetings will take place beginning in
November. Due to the widespread public interest and importance of
the general plan amendment process staff is planning to cablecast
the public hearings.
Discussion
Staff has researched the costs of recording the hearings and
playback with the City's vendor, and estimates that the staff cost
per hour, without general overhead for equipment, will be
approximately $15. Two hours of billable time is required for the
set-up and breakdown of equipment related to the production. Staff
anticipates that each hearing will last between two and four hours.
Currently, between 2 and 4 hearings are scheduled before the
Planning Commission, and there is no limit to the number of
hearings that could occur before the City Council_ Staff does not
anticipate at this time, that the hearings will occur in
conjunction with a regularly scheduled council meeting, therefore,
the cablecast would be in addition to these existing services.
Additional playbacks at different time slots would also cost $15
per hour, however, there would be no set up charge associated with
playback.
Providing for 4 Planning Commission hearings, 4 hearings before the
City Council, and 3 playbacks, the following cost estimate has been
developed:
8 meetings @ 4 hours each 32 hours
3 playbacks @ 32 hours each 96 hours
8 meeting "set-ups & breakdowns 16 hours
Total Hours 144
Total Estimated Cost @ $15/hour $ 2,160

Maya Mayo, Pro Tom Qxmcllmrrmb r Ca,gM r O ncllmemCB,
Funds have been appropriated this budget year for cablecasting city
Council, Planning Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission and
other important public meetings. The Budget and Finance Committee
of the City Council has considered the appropriate funding of the
costs for this public information service and has concluded that it
is consistent with the FY 91/92 budget for cable services. It is
therefore staffs intent to charge the cost for the cablecasting
and playback of these public hearings to account 01.4.118.642 which
is the general fund line item for expenditures related to contract
cable services. Thus far, of the $26,280 appropriated in this line
item, no expenditures have been made as of the date of this report.
It is staffs interpretation that the cablecast and playback of the
General Plan Update hearings is an appropriate expense as
authorized in the FY 91/92 budget.
Recommendation
Receive and file the report.
