MEMORANDUM <br />TO:Mayor Keis and Members of the City Council <br />FROM:Bryce Shearen, Parks & Recreation/Community Services Manager <br />DATE:March 27, 2019 <br />RE:CTV Production Topics <br />BACKGROUND INFORMATION <br />At the March 13th Council Workshop, CTV Executive Director Dana Healy discussed ways to <br />maximize the relationship between CTV and the City. One of the items that was discussed is <br />what original content the City Council would like CTV to produce. According to our contract, <br />CTV will produce a minimum of two productions per year related to Little Canada which will be <br />cable casted, webcasted, and archived for city use (see below). This program replaces the hourly <br />allotment that each member community received in prior years. <br />Neighborhood Network Services: <br />The NSAC agrees to produce at least 2 productions a year for the City of Little Canada <br />Cablecast, web stream, and distribute via link to the City the final product; <br />Storage of recorded videos for up to 6 months. <br />The North Suburban Access Cable (NSAC) contract includes a municipal producer to record and <br />broadcast live City Council meetings, Parks and Recreation, and Planning Commission meetings, <br />not to exceed 132 hours of production and/or set up time per year. If we need additional services <br />related to municipal production, the City may contract with NSAC at a flat rate of $40 per hour. <br />Items that may be included under the NSAC contract or additional services would include a State <br />of the City Address, the League of Women Voters candidate forums, or other meetings that take <br />place in Council Chambers and utilize our existing studio equipment. Based on this information, <br />the Neighborhood Network Programming should be dedicated to projects that require a higher <br />level of production. Examples of this may include productions on community events such as: <br />Spooner Park Playground Community Build <br />1st Annual Little Canada Sap Run 5K or Canadian Days 5K <br />Broad overview of Parks & Recreation programming (youth & adult activities) <br />Meet your Firefighters – Fire Prevention Day <br />Ramsey County Sheriff’s Department Events (Coffee /Hot Dog with a Deputy) <br />Special events such as Cookies w/ Santa <br />Farmers Market Highlights <br />Arbor Day Celebration <br />Ice Cream Social or other community events
