Information <br />ver <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: City Council <br />FROM: Tina Allard, City Clerk <br />DATE: December 7, 2009 <br />SUBJECT: Cable Commission Update <br />New Cameras <br />You may have noticed the new cameras installed in Council Chambers. They have been <br />upgraded and we'll be ready when Channel 12 switches to high definition (no dates know at <br />this time). Many manufacturers have started to phase out the standard definition equipment <br />and it is getting more difficult to find replacement parts. <br />Commission Cable Producer <br />The Commission has hired Mark Davis as its first employee. Mark will rotate among the <br />various commission cities to provide assistance and produce video projects. Mark recently <br />completed a production of the Northstar Commuter Launch event which will air soon. He <br />also completed a video that was used by all cities regarding Fire Prevention Month and is <br />working on some logo branding options for the Commission. <br />Area Wide Channel <br />The Commission is moving forward with activating an area wide channel. This channel will <br />allow playback of programming among all the households on the Charter Cable system in <br />Sherburne and Wright Counties. <br />Production Trailer <br />The Commission appxoved the purchase of a 24' production trailer. It will have heating and <br />air and allow for an observation camera deck on top. The Sherburne County fair parade is <br />the city's first planned use for this trailer. <br />Elk River Cable Producer <br />Jake is editing an Environment Elk Diver production that will focus on the organics recycling <br />program. The next episode of The Mayor's Show will focus on the Northstar Commuter Rail. <br />PSA's regarding Energy City, Northstar and the Elk River Arena have recently been <br />completed. Liz is currently editing a PSA for the Library regarding their new Book News <br />feature. <br />S:\Administration\Counci] RCA\Cable Commission\120709 Cable Update.doc <br />
