MOU--N-DitSVV!rW City of Mounds View Staff R Item No: 05F Meeting Date: August 12, 2019 Type of Business: Consent City Administrator Review: To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Nyle Zikmund, City Administrator Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9152 Authorizing contract with CTV Introduction: The City of Mounds View utilizes franchise fees from Cable providers to fund cable casting of our council and commission meetings. In the past, the city has employed a full time Cable Coordinator to ensure these services. Her recent retirement has resulted in the Council exploring other options. Discussion: At the August 5, 2019 Council Workshop, council consensus was to proceed with the proposal from CTV/North Suburban Cable Commission to provide cable casting, web streaming, and staffing for all council meetings and planning and zoning meetings thru 2020. Additionally, the contract provides a specified amount for the production of videos, additional meetings, and technical support. Web page and city newsletter duties previously handled by the Cable Coordinator position will now be handled by the Communication Technician, HR Coordinator, and publishing contractor. Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Maintain good infrastructure in such a way that is walkable & attractive, safe, and affordable and to be a progressive City that is welcoming, and a desirable destination who seek progress through partnerships. Financial Impact: This contract will result in annual expenses estimated at $20,000 per year as compared to the approximate $75,000 wage and benefit package for the full time coordinator. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution 9152 authorizing execution of contract with CTV for services. Respectfully submitted, Nyle Zikmund City Administrator The Mounds View Vision A Thriving Desirable Community
