INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
(FUNDING COMMUNITY PRODUCER POSITION)
Preamble
The Village of Mount Prospect (hereinafter referred to as "Village"), the Mount
Prospect Park District (hereinafter referred to as "MPPD") and the Mount Prospect
Public Library (hereinafter referred to as "Library") (all collectively referred to as "the
Parties") desire to participate in programming and production activities for the Village's
government access cable television channel (hereinafter referred to as "MP-I-V") for a
period beginning October 1, 1999 and ending December 31, 2001. Each of the parties
will receive substantial benefit upon the creation of the position.
The Parties therefore agree as follows:
1. The position shall be created as of October 1, 1999 and exist until
December 31, 2001 and shall be funded as follows:
For a period beginning October 1, 1999 and concluding December 31, 1999, the
MPPD and the Library will contribute a total of $2,246.74 ($1,123.37 per party) in
funding assistance for the creation of a Community Producer ("CP") position to support
the Production Assistant currently based at MPTV and employed by the Village. During
the period of January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2000 the contribution of the MPPD and
the Library will be $16,987.00 ($8,493.50 per party). During the period of January 1,
2001 through December 31, 2001, the contribution will be $18,672.50 ($9,336.25 per
Party). Payments to the Village will be made on an annual basis on or before the first
day of the Village's fiscal year (January 1), except for the prorated period October 1,
1999 through December 31, 1999, in which case the payment will be made on or before
October 15, 1999.
2. This Community Producer will generally be responsible for the following:
A. The Community Producer will produce programming for the MPPD and
Library to be shown on MPTV on a regular basis under the supervision of
the Village's Cable Production Coordinator. The CP will be considered an
employee of the Village and Village projects will be the first priority for the
CP. The Village will provide a benefits package for the position equivalent
to a basic full-time permanent position.
B. A minimum of 4 hours of original programming per month will be created
by the CP, the subject of which shall be determined by the Parties' needs.
The CP's time will be divided as follows: Village projects (50%); the
MPPD (25%); and Library projects (25%).
C. The CP will meet with officials from the MPPD and the Library on a regular
basis to determine what types of programming are to be produced. The
CP will provide a written report of such meetings to the Village Cable
Production Coordinator. Programming produced for the MPPD and
Library will be scheduled by MPTV to coordinate with municipal
programming as much as possible, but Village programming will remain
first priority. The selection of programming relevance or scheduling shall
be the sole responsibility of the Village.
D. The CP will maintain and update information messages for the MPPD and
the Library on MPTV's Community Information Guide and in the Cable
Views Village newsletter insert.
E. The CP will coordinate volunteer efforts to produce the MPPD and Library
Programming.
F. The Library and the MPPD will ask for volunteers to be trained by the CP
to help increase the volunteer pool available to produce programming.
G. The CP will provide, on a monthly basis, a report of all 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 MPPD/Library staffs.
3. If any of the Parties become dissatisfied with the level of service provided,
the entity must put the specific grievance in writing and forward it to the Village
Manager 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 grieving party, the grievant, upon 90 days written notice (after the 90-
day resolution period), may withdraw from the agreement, and receive a prorated
refund of its contribution based on the amount of time left on the agreement. If
participation and funding is withdrawn by any Party, the Village may immediately
discontinue the position.
4. By entering into this agreement, each Party acknowledges its willingness
to annually budget the necessary funds to cover their assigned portion of the costs.
Other governmental entities who provide services to the Village residents may petition
the Village for inclusion in this agreement. The Village may permit such additional
participation provided that service to the MPPD and Library will not be diminished. Any
additional party shall be assigned a portion of the cost as determined by the Village.
5. This agreement shall expire on December 31, 2001. Ninety (90) days
prior to the expiration of the agreement, the position will be re-evaluated by all Parties.
If the performance of the position is found to be satisfactory, the agreement may be
renewed upon mutual agreement of the Parties for an additional two (2) years ending
December 31, 2003. If the agreement is extended the projected annual cost of salary
and benefits of the position may be increased to a proportional amount representative
of the original percentage of cost contribution of the original agreement. All
undersigned parties involved are hereby committed for the length of the agreement,
unless one or more parties withdraws under the withdrawal provisions of the
agreement.
