Set Public Hearing For_ <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Authorize the Finance and Management Services Agency to donate six surplus televisions to <br />community video network program participants. <br />DISCUSSION <br />In 2006, the City entered into a three year agreement with CCN USA for a community video <br />network marketing program at ten locations. The screens were located at the following locations <br />within the City. <br />1 Bowers Museum 6 Knowlwoods Restaurant <br />2 City Hall 7 McDonalds (Edinger/Raitt) <br />3 Coastal Communities Hospital 8 Santa Ana College Bookstore <br />4 Crevier BMW 9 Regional Transportation Center <br />5 Southwest Senior Center 10 Western Medical Center <br />The program has since ended, at the TV's are now the property of the City. Three TV's remain at <br />City facilities, and the TV from the McDonald's location has been returned to the City. In order to <br />minimize expenses and staff time, staff recommends donating the remaining six screens to Bowers <br />Museum, Coastal Communities Hospital, Crevier BMW, Knowlwoods, Santa Ana College, and <br />Western Medical Center. This will save on a contract expenses to remove the TV's, brackets, <br />cabling, patch walls, texture match, and paint. <br />The going rate for a used 50" flat screen TV with 2006 technology is approximately $300. The cost <br />to remove the screen will be approximately $250 - $350, including contractor time to remove the <br />TV and bracket, patch, texture match, and paint. This does not include the staff time needed to <br />coordinate one or two job walks to the six locations. The businesses accepting the TV's will be <br />fully responsible for maintenance and all other operational issues once they take ownership. <br />19D-1
