'/ <br />/h L'~- / II ~ Iv [~.-______ <br /> <br />CONTINUED TO <br /> <br />FILE NUMBER <br /> <br />CITY MANAGER <br /> <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> <br />Award a contract to A-Vidd Electronics Company to provide all labor, <br />materials, and incidentals to implement a community bulletin board <br />system and a stand-alone playback system in the City Hall Council <br />Chambers in the amount of $30,889.25. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />The City's existing cable television franchise with Adelphia <br />Communications is scheduled to expire on February 18, 2005. While the <br />terms of a new agreement are not finalized, changes in federal law make <br />it likely that Adelphia will no longer be required to provide the full <br />range of programming services available under the current agreement. <br />These impacted services may include the City's Channel 3 community <br />bulletin board and the playback of recorded City Council meetings. <br /> <br />In order to be prepared to continue to provide these basic services, <br />the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency recommends the <br />purchase and installation of cable production equipment. The bulletin <br />board system equipment will provide advanced graphics, photography and <br />video for the display of this information to the community. The <br />playback equipment includes a master controller and video record decks <br />to allow for electronic playback of the City Council meetings. <br /> <br />22F-1 <br /> <br />CS 383 <br />
