STAFF REPORT <br />DATE: May 7, 2024 <br /> CONSENT <br /> <br /> <br />TO: Mayor and Council Members <br />FROM: Karissa Goers, Administrative Services Director <br />AGENDA ITEM: Approve Rate for Cable Casters <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: The City of Lake Elmo has contracted with two individuals who provide <br />videographer skills and cable casting services for our broadcasted meetings. They have been with the city <br />for two years. One is currently on a leave of absence, and the other is moving out of state and has given <br />his resignation. We need to advertise for this position and enter into a new contract for an additional <br />cable caster. <br /> <br /> <br />ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: <br />Should the Council approve the new cable caster meeting rate of $65? <br /> <br />PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: <br />Staff is seeking Council approval to increase the meeting rate offered to cable casters. <br /> <br />In researching our meeting rates we are behind other cities in competitive pay. Currently, we pay $55 per <br />meeting for up to 3 hours and $25 per hour for anything over 3 hours. We want to increase our meeting <br />rate to $65 to remain competitive. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT: <br />This amount is still covered by the grant we receive to cover cable caster wages. <br /> <br />OPTIONS: <br /> <br />1) Approve the cable caster meeting rate of $65. <br />2) Do not approve the cable caster meeting rate of $65. <br /> <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />If removed from the consent agenda: <br /> <br />“Motion to approve the cable caster meeting rate of $65.” <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />None
