<br />Item No: 2C <br />Meeting Date: 02/05/07 <br /> Type of Business: WS <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Kurt Ulrich, City Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: NSCC Web-streaming Proposal <br /> <br /> <br />Currently, the North Suburban Cable Commission (NSCC) has been provided the City <br />with the service of live web-streaming of meetings and archived video files of meetings <br />for view by the public. This service has been provided to the City at an introductory rate <br />of $165 per month for much of 2006. The City has been generally satisfied with the <br />web-streaming service and it has greatly improved over the last two years. <br /> <br />This introductory service has allowed the City to test the product, and has allowed NSCC <br />to add additional features of storage and bandwidth capacity to the system. NSCC has <br />given preliminary notice to cities that the cost of the service will be increasing to $250 per <br />month, starting March 1, 2007, subject to approval by their board. According to NSCC, <br />this represents a significant subsidy of the actual costs, but they are mindful of passing a <br />full cost allocation to cities in the middle of a budget year. If this increase goes ahead, <br />the additional cost to the City for 2007 will be $765, allocated to the Cable Fund.
