BACKGROUND; In April of 2000, the County of San Bernardino Department of Aging and Adult Services (DAAS) solicited proposals from the City's CATV Division and several other agencies for the provision of video production services. (DAAS wants to video tape their training sessions and public hearings and make copies of the tapes available for public viewing and distribution to their various offices.) On August 22, 2000 the City's CATV Division was awarded a production services contract with DAAS after the County determined that the City's CATV Division best meets the needs of the County due to the City's extensive experience in delivering a high quality video product with an appropriate cost of service. The period of the contract is August 1, 2000 through July 31, 2001. Production services committed to in the contract are 3 camera studio productions, 3 camera remote productions, single camera remotes, editing, script writing, and videotape duplications. Also included in the contract are 4 to 5 out-of-town remotes required to meet the County's production needs. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Based on anticipated production, it is estimated that the City will receive $50,000 in revenue for performing the production services outlined in the attached agreement. Costs to the Telecommunications Division to carry out these services are estimated to be $10,000. The net increase in revenue to the CATV Fund will be $40,000. Notification of the award was made after the budget was finalized for the Telecommunications Division. Therefore, a budget amendment is needed to properly reflect the revenues and expenditures associated with this contract. Outlined below is the budget amendment necessary to reflect increased expenditures of $10,000 and the increased revenue of$50,000. Increased Expenditures: 107-261-5502 (other professional services- to pay for per-diem production staff) $5,000 107-261-5132 (meetings and conferences-to pay travel costs to production sites) $5,000 Increased Revenue: 107-000-4922(estimated revenue to be received from the County) $50,000 RECOMMENDATION: That the Mayor and Common Council authorize the execution of an agreement between the County of San Bernardino and the City for the provision of CATV production services to the County; and authorize the Director of Finance to amend the FY 2000-2001 CATV budget to increase revenue and expenditures in the CATV Fund to reflect both anticipated revenue of $50,000 to be received from the County for CATV production services and the associated cost of $10,000 to be incurred by the City in providing these services.
