Staff would like further clarification regarding the following: <br />Observations: <br />The City of Ramsey is allocated $30,000 annually in salary for Associate Producers who provide the Council <br />meeting broadcast. Associate Producers are paid at a rate of $15.00 per hour. If additional broadcast hours are <br />added, they will be part of the hours (NTE 30 per week) allocated to Ramsey and could reduce coverage of other <br />events or shows. Due to set up logistic, HRA meetings that are not held on a regular Council night are more <br />expenve to cover. HRA meetings on non - council meeting nights could be called "Special" meetings and not <br />normally broadcast and reserved for items that require immediate action and /or a closed discussion, similar to the <br />Council schedule. <br />Funding Source: <br />QCTV staffing is paid via QCTV and fees paid by cable subscribers per the franchise agreement with Comcast. <br />
