<br /> <br /> STAFF REPORT <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />TO: Mayor Keis and Members of City Council <br /> <br />FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator <br /> <br />DATE: May 24, 2018 <br /> <br />RE: Quote for Recording & Editing Summer Ball Games <br /> <br /> <br />The past two years, Vanessa Van Alstine received approval to utilize CTV North Suburbs to <br />record and edit summer ball games for Little Canada youth teams. Historically, we have tried to <br />have at least one game of every team recorded, edited, and broadcast on our access channel. The <br />summer months prove difficult for Vanessa to handle this on her own given the myriad of duties <br />she attends to. (In the past, we have had part time people help with this but that is also a bit time <br />consuming to get someone hired and trained.) <br /> <br />To ensure this season's games get broadcasted, Vanessa asked if she could once again receive a <br />quote from CTV for this work. Attached is their quote of $290 on a per game basis (this is the <br />same price as last year). We assume that five games will be broadcast. Therefore, the maximum <br />cost would be $1,450. As in the past, payment for this work comes from the Cable TV fund and <br />there are adequate resources to handle this undertaking. <br /> <br />You will also notice this quote includes an announcer at $25 per game. Vanessa has told me that <br />it has been a challenge to get announcers arranged by the teams beforehand and many times they <br />are scrambling to find someone to do it. The games from 2017 included an announcer from CTV <br />which provided better quality audio coverage of the games and less stress for the coaches and <br />parents. <br /> <br />It is my recommendation that we authorize a contract with CTV North Suburbs to record and edit <br />up to five games at a cost not to exceed $290 per game for the 2018 summer ball season. <br /> <br />Cc: Vanessa Van Alstine <br /> <br /> <br />
