Item <br /> <br />ity 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 Peine, City Clerk <br /> <br />January 24, 2000 <br /> <br />Consider Government Cable Producer Position <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />The City of Elk River is now producing its own government channel. The <br />channel was turned over to the city the last week in December. Since then <br />we have experienced many technical difficulties and have spent many hours <br />troubleshooting. We hope that the residents will be patient as we continue to <br />work to resolve these problems within the next couple of months. <br /> <br />We have plans to provide city programming in the near future. Programs <br />will include items such as city updates by departments, city events, Mayor <br />updates, etc. <br /> <br />The Issue <br /> <br />Marissa Lee has been working for the city for two years. She has recently <br />indicated that she will be resigning from her position sometime in March. <br /> <br />Staff is requesting to hire a full-time employee to fill Marissa's position. The <br />City has budgeted 25 hours per week for Marissa's position for the year 2000 <br />and 10 hours per week for a part-time employee to assist Marissa. We have <br />tried advertising for the part time employee but have had no response. <br /> <br />Since going live, Marissa believes that a full time employee will be necessary <br />if the city wants to produce a quality government channel. I concur with <br />Marissa. Marissa's hours have increased beyond the scheduled 25 per week <br />and this increase does not include any programming. Marissa has put <br />together a list of job duties for this position (attached). <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
