MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS Litm,x, FROM: MARY SAARION, DIRECTOR 6 • PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY DATE: MARCH 7, 1990 SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL CABLE CASTING EQUIPMENT Recently, the Council received a copy of a letter requesting funds from North Suburban Cable Commission for the purchase of additional cable casting equipment. Because the city has approximately $10,000 carryover in the cable fund currently and is expecting an additional $19,000 for 1990 expenditures, the Commission suggested that this money be used for our equipment purchases. Jerry Skelly, Jr. has requested the purchase of this new equipment to expand our current video-taping quality playback and production capabilities with the purchase of additional equipment. The equipment which is requested for purchase includes: Hi Fi-S-VHS Editing recorder/player S-VHS Hi Fi Editing source player S-VHS Hi Fi Editing controller Dubbing cable The quoted price of this package from EPA is $7,895.00. This additional equipment would provide the ability to edit programs on-site and would give the opportunity to produce better quality tapes and programs. Three bids have been received and are as follows: Blumbergs $9,100.00 MPCS $8,550.00 EPA $7,895.00 EPA is a company which is local and has a good reputation for quality equipment and service. Of the three bids, Jerry Skelly, Jr. recommends the EPA package of equipment for an editing recorder and player, editing source player, editing controller and dubbing cable. Jerry Skelly, Jr. will be at the council meeting on Monday evening to answer any questions that you may have. RECOMMENDATION: To approve the purchase of video taping equipment including an editing recorder/player, editing source player, editing controller, and dubbing cable, at a sum total of $7,895.00 from EPA, to be funded from monies in the Cable Fund.
