Workshop Agenda Item No. 2 -- Presentation, discussion and possible action regarding an
analysis of the City's current and needed equipment for televising City Council meetings.
Public Communications and Marketing Manager Kelley Cole introduced Mr. Wayne Pecena,
Director of Engineering for KAMU -TV. Mr. Pecena conducted an in -depth review of the audio
equipment and lighting in the Council Chambers, and provided the following recommendations
to provide a high - quality, in -house production of televised Council meetings and other City
events.
Council Chambers Lighting
The City will need to upgrade lighting in the Council Chambers to equip the room with
broadcast quality lighting of a low to mid — grade, with an estimated cost of $7,000 - $15,000.
Council Meeting 7/22/02 Page 2
404 Camera Equipment and Uses
Mr. Pecena suggested using a three- camera configuration in the Council Chambers. The
cameras would be remote controlled from another room. The Council Chambers would need
stationary cameras and portable equipment for videotaping on- location; to get started the City
could initially purchase portable equipment. The cost for a complete mid -grade system with
stationary and portable equipment ranged from $100,000 to $150,000. A complete lower grade
system would cost about $50,000. He suggested hiring a full -time videographer /editor /producer
to be responsible for this function.
Outsourcing
The City could outsource for six months to one year while preparing for in -house production.
Mr. Pecena thought this project was not complex and did not recommend a consultant. He
offered to help the City write an RFP for vendors to submit equipment lists and installation
services. Additional he offered to review the RFP responses to assist the City in determining the
most feasible, cost - effective option. He did not recommend sharing equipment with another
entity on a long -term basis due to conflicts and logistics issues.
The Council members discussed the option of outsourcing on a temporary basis. This would
provide the City Council the opportunity to experience different levels of quality and allow feed
back from the community.
Council directed staff to examine outsourcing while determining the cost of in -house production.
4 10 They also requested additional information regarding equipment options.
Workshop Agenda Item No. 3 -- Presentation, discussion and possible action on Water and
Wastewater costs of service and rate studies.
Director of Fiscal Services Charles Cryan introduced J. Patrick Wilcox with Black & Veatch
Corporation. Mr. Wilcox described the rate study results on water and wastewater costs of
services. The findings of this rate study indicated that wastewater revenues should be increased
for FY 2003 by approximately 6 percent and an additional revenue increase of 4 percent in FY
2004. Also, proposed were changes to the residential rate, by increasing the maximum amount
of water that will be used for sewer billing from 9,000 gallons per month to 10,000 gallons. He
noted that there were no water rate changes.
Mr. Brymer noted that the cost of service has increased in the wastewater area due to the
expansion of the Lick Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. This increase is necessary in order to
fully recover the additional cost of the additional debt service.
Mr. Cryan remarked that the final decision by the City Council to consider these
recommendations would be made during the budget review process.
No formal action was taken.
Council recessed at 4:36 p.m. for a short break. Council returned at 4:45 p.m.

FY 03 — FY 08 Financial Forecast.
‘11rr
Budget and Strategic Planning Director Jeff Kersten presented the City's financial forecast in
each fund and an overview of assumptions for preparing the proposed FY 03 budget. Mr.
Kersten described significant issues such as the revenue estimates, ongoing expenditures, sales
tax growth, ad valorem tax rate and the parking garage debt service.
Mr. Kersten reviewed the overall forecast assumptions as follows:
• Salary adjustments follow Council adopted pay policy.
• No across the board increases are included for any pay groups.
• Expenditures, other than salaries and benefits, exhibit budgeted increases of 1.5% in FY
04, and then 2% through FY 08.
• Health insurance expenses forecast to increase each year.
• Forecast assumes maintaining current levels of service.
Mr. Kersten noted a one -cent ad valorem tax shift from the Debt Service Fund to the General
Fund in order to pay for the second year of operations and maintenance of Fire Station #5. Also,
the ad valorem tax rate was proposed to increase in FY 04 by 0.8 cents to fund the third year of
operations and maintenance costs associated with Fire Station #5.
