<br />Staff recommended entering into a three-year agreement with CCN for 10 screens, <br />with provisions to allow expansion to 20 screens, allowing only for CPI increases in <br />price. <br /> <br />Councilmember Alvarez questioned the need for the project and reiterated her <br />interest in hearing about alternative uses for the Adelphia capital grant money. Mr. <br />Mouet and Mr. Fletcher explained the restrictions for use of these funds. <br /> <br />Councilmember Bist asked about staff and/or Parks and Recreation Commission <br />discussions about the need to replace Time-Warner programming on Channel 3 <br />once it ceases in a year. Mr. Mouet responded that preliminary discussion had <br />focused on opportunities to use community-based programming prepared by other <br />organizations and sources. Creating new programming would require additional <br />funds. <br /> <br />The Committee discussed the advantages and disadvantages of proceeding with <br />the project without reaching consensus. <br /> <br />3. Status Report on Utilities Online Payment Project <br /> <br />Ms. Calderon reported on fees and charges proposed for the ability to make on- <br />line utilities payments. This project has been impacted by a recent court case that <br />has determined that water rate increases are subject to the provisions of <br />Proposition 218. Mr. Fletcher explained the protest process for increasing water <br />fees and rates required as a result of this case. <br /> <br />Staff requested a delay of this item until the next meeting to allow time to review <br />potential financial impacts, to see if existing water funds can cover the cost to <br />implement the program prior to going through a Proposition 218 process. <br /> <br />4. Webcasting of City Council Meetings - Tom Gergen <br /> <br />Mr. Gergen reported on options for video on demand, including costs and features. <br />Three vendors were contacted, representing the range of services available. <br /> <br />Councilmember Bist requested that staff come back next month with suggestions <br />for promoting the availability of existing City Council meeting webcasts. <br /> <br />The Committee directed staff to initiate the RFP process.
