• <br />• <br />• <br />In addition, we would like to dedicate the new camera to the news department. Because <br />of the importance of the news department to the organization, and the often <br />unpredictable nature of news events and interviews, having a camera available 24/7 <br />specifically to the news team will eliminate equipment scheduling conflicts. This will help <br />insure that both staff AND equipment will be available when needed. This camera will <br />cost approximately $10,000. <br />Computer Software /Hardware Upgrades <br />Rose has developed a very effective computer replacement cycle.

That is the case here. <br />While we will continue to communicate in ways that have worked for us in the past, our <br />goal is to make some changes and concentrate efforts in several areas. <br />al Web Site <br />This one is our pet project. We think the web site holds great potential as a very <br />economical and efficient communications tool regarding the Media Center and Cable <br />Commission. We have already taken the most significant step required to make it a <br />
