ITEM 4.3. <br /> <br />~"v of <br /> <br />iver <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />Sandra Thackeray, City Clerk <br /> <br />February 2, 1998 <br /> <br />Government Cable TV Producer <br /> <br />In November, 1997, staff received council authorization to advertise <br />for the position of Government Cable TV Producer. Following <br />advertisement of this position, 4 application were received. The City <br />Clerk and consultant Bill Bruce interviewed 3 of the applicants. <br /> <br />Staff is requesting authorization to hire Marissa Lee at $9 per hour <br />with a maximum of 15 hours per week. Marissa will be trained by <br />Bill Bruce and will begin work on February 9. Attached is a job <br />description for this position. <br /> <br />Currently the city video tapes one council meeting, one planning <br />commission meeting, one EDA meeting and one school board <br />meeting per month. Once we have a Cable Producer hired, we would <br />have the opportunity to increase the number of meetings that are <br />video taped. <br /> <br />The Cable Commission has authorized the expenditure of up to <br />approximately $22,000 for equipment and labor to allow live <br />playback. When this happens, the City will have its own channel. <br />The Cable Producer will be responsible for programming and <br />scheduling of the channel. We anticipate this to happen sometime <br />this year, hopefully by Spring. <br /> <br />ACTION REQUESTED <br /> <br />Motion to hire Marissa Lee for as Cable Television Programming <br />Producer at $9.00 per hour effective February 9. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
