3) The Community Producer will meet with officials from District 26 on a regular
basis to determine what types of programming are to be produced, and inform
the Village of these productions. Programming produced by District 26 will be

production activities for the entities involved in this agreement including number
and length of programs produced, pre-production and post-production hours,
training of volunteers and interaction with District 26 staff.
If any of the participants who are a party to this agreement becomes dissatisfied with
the level of service provided, the entity must put the specific grievance in writing and
forward it to the Village for review. After receipt of the grievance the Village shall have
ninety (90) days to respond and attempt to resolve the issue. If the issue is not resolved
to the satisfaction of the agency, the grievant may withdraw from the agreement, and
receive a prorated refund of its contribution based on the amount of time left on the
agreement provided a ninety (90) day written withdrawal notice is forwarded to the
Village prior to withdrawal. If participation and funding is withdrawn the Village shall not
be obligated to fund the Community Producer position beyond the conclusion of the
Village's fiscal year in which the withdrawal action occurred.
By entering into this agreement each participant acknowledges their willingness to
annually budget the necessary funds to cover their assigned portion of the costs. If any
other entity who provides services to the Village residents determines such participation
in this agreement would be beneficial, all participants shall review the funding
requirements for the position to determine whether additional governmental participation
is possible within the existing programming limitation. Any additional participant shall be
assigned a cost as determined by the Village.
This agreement shall expire on December 31, 2001. Thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration of the agreement, the position will be re-evaluated by all parties. If the
