'CITyOOF SAN BERNARDINcP. RE~EST FOR COUNCIL i6TION
STAFF REPORT
On July 17, 1989, you adopted Ordinance Number MC-667 which
adjusted the franchise fee from four to five percent. The
purpose of this staff report is to provide recommendations
regarding the use of the one percent increase.
As you are aware this city, over the past two years, has
moved towards directing the cable franchise fees to
telecommunications activity. The recommendation is that this
one percent be totally directed to Telecommunications.
Several areas are being addressed in keeping with the concept
of one-time equipment even though this funding will continue
from year-to-year. The request for this year is to 1)
retrofit the Council Chamber for effective and efficient,
non-obtrusive telecasting; 2) purchase of remote site van and
some of the equipment; 3) equipment for the additional
channels and 4) staffing necessary for bringing the two
channels on the air. This is the one area where staffing is
recommended because the continued funding is assured.
The Council Chamber retrofit of $65,770 includes the cameras
and servo units, lighting kits, and a control panel. The
remote site production van cost of $56,000 is for the vehicle
and basic equipment. The interior equipment would be
budgeted next year. In the interim, equipment would be moved
from the studio or center in the basement, to the van. The
equipment for bringing additional channels on the air is
$22,430. This is for sequencing system, control boards,
lights, decks, and monitors. The remaining $8,925 will be
used for part-time salaries.
It is respectfully recommended that 1) the franchise revenue
accounts b~ increased to reflect an additional $53,125 in
revenue and 2) Fund 107, Department lOS, Cable TV
Administration budget of expenditures be adjusted as follows:
Personnel Services
Equipment
$ 8,925
144,200
Total
$153,125
