Farley; Trustees Ralph Arthur, Mark Busse, Timothy Corcoran, Leo Floros, George Van Geern and Theodore Wattenberg. Also present at the meeting were: Assistant Village Manager John Burg, Cable Television Administrator Cheryl Pasalic; three members of the press and 40 persons in the audience. H. MINUTES The Minutes of the Committee of the Whole meeting of September 11, 1990 were accepted and filed. 1111. CITIZENS TO HE HEARD Lois Heitzman, 615 North Forest, was concerned that the Village had not moved forward in trying to address the flooding problems in her neighborhood. She said she had heard there was going to be a meeting between Village officials, Arlington Heights officials and District 214 on September 27, and she asked for information so that she could attend the meeting. Mayor Farley asked her to leave her name and phone number so that staff can contact her. aamlff��- -�' W'W.36K19 Mayor Farley indicated that appropriate notice for the Hearing was provided in the newspaper and on channel 63. He also said that Telenois was notified of the Hearing. Mayor Farley then introduced the topic, noting the reasons for the Hearing. Cable Television Administrator Pasalic then gave a presentation outlining the problems the Village has been having with Telenois/TCI. She noted that last year the Village received 320 unresolved complaints. The Village already has 274 unresolved complaints this year. She said that complaints have been increasing every month since she has been in her position. She asked Telenois/TCI to provide further information on how they keep track of and handle complaints. Ms. Pasalic also indicated that phone calls have risen drastically system -wide. She indicated there were over 40,000 phone calls for service during the most recent year. She asked if Telenois can do something to decrease these service calls. She also asked for further clarification on how Telenois trains its customer service representatives. Ms. Pasalic noted that an engineer who looked at the technical performance of the system was also concerned about this situation. Mayor Farley then opened the floor to comments by the public. Fourteen people in the audience spoke regarding the performance of the cable system. The complaints consisted basically of the following: 1. There is a long wait on the phone to talk to customer service. Then it takes a very long time to get a serviceman, usually three to five days. 2. There are frequent picture outages. 3. The picture quality is very poor. 4. There is sloppy workmanship. The servicemen do not bury the cable. Debris is often left behind after the job is completed. 5. Rates are very high but service is poor. 6. The cable is sometimes improperly installed on the buildings. 7. Bills are mailed late often with only one day left to pay the bill. Sometimes the bill arrives after the due date. One person said that he had no problems with the service but suggested going to the one cable. Trustee Van Geem then tried to summarize the 19 letters received by people who were unable to attend the Evaluation Hearing. He summarized 14 of these letters but then indicated that the remaining letters were on file with the Village Clerk. Basically, these letters were letters of complaint very similar to the complaints lodged by individuals who testified at the Evaluation Hearing. However, one letter was from an individual who would like to see a single cable system. Mayor Farley then asked the representatives of Telenois/TCI to make their presentation. -2- System Manager Kelvin Fee gave the presentation on behalf of Telenois/TCI. He noted that the upgrade in the system has caused many problems recently. He noted that some situations beyond their control such as power outages and cables cut by contractors increased during the summer season. He said a significant number of the outages were caused by these two problems. Mr. Fee said his company has hired a full-time trainer and is making efforts to improve customer service. He also noted that the rates are close to the national average. He said Telenois would be willing to reduce the bill by $2.50 per month if they were allowed to go to a single cable. He said that 35% of the service calls are related to the converter box, and he suggested going to the single -cable system thus eliminating the converter box. The Committee asked numerous questions of the System Manager Kelvin Fee. The Committe-t was very disappointed at the performance of Telenois/TCL The Committee was concerned about all the problems noted by residents and felt the complaints presented an accurate picture of the poor performance of Telenois/TCL Of particular concern was the failure on the part of Telenois/TCI to address these problems especially in the customer service area. Failure to submit the proper financial information was also noted. The Committee was not convinced the offer to reduce the rate by $2.50 per month if a single cable system were allowed would benefit the Village and the residents since Telenois/TCI's track record has been so poor and the Village cannot regulate rates. Mayor Farley asked Mr. Fee to meet with Cheryl Pasalic and to work on improving performance during the next 60 days. After 60 days, the Board will again consider the matter to see if there has been progress. V. MANAGER'S REPORT None. VI. ANY OTHER BUSIMM There being no further business to come before the Committee of the Whole, the Committee moved on to the next item of business. VII. ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 10:25 p.m. Respectfully submitted, JON BURG 141, JPB/rcw Assistant Village Manager -3- Village of'6--,Cunt Prospect ��,; 'Mount Prospect, Illinois �' INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM"' TO: MAYOR GERALD L. FARLEY AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES FROM: VILLAGE MANAGER DATE: OCTOBER 5, 1990 SUBJECT: STREET LIGHT REQUEST - LAKE BRIARWOOD SUBDIVISION Attached is information concerning a request by a subcommittee of the Lake Briarwood Homeowners Association regarding street lights at Lake Briarwood. Residents of Lake Briarwood have indicated a desire to put street lights in their subdivision. When staff was first approached by the Association, we indicated the standard size street lights standards that we use throughout the Village. They indicated they did not think that was attractive enough for their subdivision and wish to have a different type of fixture put in. They then looked at lights that are on Prospect and Busse Avenues in the Village to determine the type of lights they felt would be attractive for their subdivision. There was a Special Service District put in place for the street-scape in the downtown area. When this Special Service District was put into place, it included the pedestrian - scale street lights, paver bricks, benches and other landscape amenities in the downtown area. It was determined at that time that there was a public benefit of 75% that was picked up by the Village. This was to urge the business people in the downtown area to cooperate on this venture. There was significant compromise during discussions so that there would be cooperation from the business people in the downtown which ended up being 75% public benefit participation by the Village. In looking at Lake Briarwood, it would be hard to determine percentage of public benefit. Public benefit is usually derived at by the amount of other than people outside the area who would utilize that area. I believe that 10% public benefit would be generous for Lake Briarwood. The Board should also be informed that the street lights that are being requested by the Lake Briarwood Association are not consistent with the street lights that we have in the downtown area. They are a slightly different design with different, special reflective devices. If the Village is to be involved in maintenance and upkeep of these, it would have to keep an additional inventory of this type of standard as well as all the other requirements for illumination which are different from what we have already. We presently carry six different light standards. The street standards that are used on the major thoroughfares are consistent except for different heights and base types. The only pedestrian -scale street lights we have are on Prospect and Busse Avenues. The Board should also be aware that there are several other subdivision areas throughout the Village that do not have street lighting and there could be a precedent set with allowing street lights to be paid partially by the Village in the Lake Briarwood area. Establishing a flat 50% public benefit for street lights in the Lake Briarwood area would, in my estimation, cause an awful lot of future street light requests to come into the Village indicating that there are other subdivisions with more of a public benefit and they would plead cases for, I am sure, 75% public benefit in relationship to the Lake Briarwood subdivision. I also wish to remind the Board that the Village is paying substantial funds for a traffic signal that will be put in at Lake Briarwood Drive and Algonquin sometime within the next twelve months. There is no participation from either the Village of Arlington Heights or any of the subdivisions or residents of the Village. This is a totally Village - funded project. I urge the Board to review this request in light of budget priorities to determine what areas we might eliminate if, in fact, the Board determines we should cooperate in this venture. There would be substantial funds paid out up front plus ongoing maintenance and repair responsibilities which will end up being in the thousands of dollars a few years out. While illuminating an area is beneficial from a policing standpoint, many subdivisions and streets throughout the Village do that by turning on their porch lights. Other communities have also gone to such a venture. In fact, I am aware of one community where an entire subdivision put in gas lights for their own benefit at their own cost. In light of the budget considerations that face us, I would urge the Board to not accept the proposal from the Lake Briarwood Association but encourage them to find a solution on their own. JOHN FU TON 1 ON JFD/rcw attachment in 01� Mount Prospect Public Works Department INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: Village Manager FROM: Director Public Works DATE: September 26, 1990 SUBJECT: Street Lighting Request - Lake Briarwood Subdivision For over a year, officers of the Lake Briarwood Homeowners Asso- ciation have intermittently been discussing installation of street lights with staff. Initially, Chuck Bencic forwarded information on our street light standards to the association. He had estimated that, in accordance with our development code spacing of 300 feet between fixtures, 26 high-pressure sodium lights with Cobra heads would have to be installed, at-a7.-.:Zti- mated cost of $4000 per light, or $104,000 total. The Lake Briarwood Homeowners Association wants a special type of light fixture which they feel would provide the needed illumi- nation plus be aesthetically more desirable. zhey have in- stalled two of these lights on the island in the center of the lake and these lights appear to provide fair illumination in th,,,t.,T,)a;rticular setting. These lights do not provide the illumi- natio'n of our standard fixture; accordingly, the homeowners association is recommending that the lights be placed at 150 foot spacings, which would require 40 fixtures at an estimated cost of $3000 each, for a projdcted total cost of $120,000. On September 19, 1990, Mike Heaney and Douglas Anderson, repre- senting the Lake Briarwood Homeowners Association, met with Chuck Bencic and me to discuss their lighting proposal. In this subdivision, all utilities are underground, so installation may be difficult and expensive. The homeowners association would like the Village to pay at least half of the cost, and the prop- erty owners would pay the remainder through some type of funding mechanism such as a special assessment. The association would expect the Village to assume all maintenance and pay all energy costs. The homeowners association feels that lights are needed for the safety of pedestrians and joggers, as there are no sidewalks in the subdivision. They also feel that illumination of the subdi- vision would provide extra security from potential burglars. All correspondence and latest proposals for this project were discussed at their annual homeowners association meeting of November 14, 1989. Although this meeting was over nine months ago, their proposal was not brought to our attention until a week ago. They have requested that the Village review their request and respond back to them by November lst so they can report the outcome at their 1990 annual meeting. They also would be interested in discussing their proposal with the Vil- lage Board. It should be noted that, after several years, we have finally got a traffic signal installation scheduled for a March 1991 letting at the Algonquin Road and Briarwood Drive intersection. The homeowners association is not scheduled to participate in the cost of this installation. I would also stress that we may have to have a consultant draw up plans for street lighting, at an estimated cost of $15,000. The association's estimated in- stallation costs of $120,000 has not been verified by any of our staff. While I don't question the need for street illumination in this subdivision, I am hesitant to give approval of the light fixture and pole they want to use. our inventory of replacement parts is already high, and acceptance of this proposal would increase our stockpile. HLW/ td attach. c: Chuck Bencic RESDEV/LAKEBRWD.LGT November 14, 1989 LAKE HRIARWOOD STREET LIGHTING PROPOSAL Prepared by: Mike Heaney INDEX I.r-- OVERVIEW 2. - PROPOSED STREET LIGHT 3. - ENGINEERING PLAN 4. - LIGHTING COSTS S. - FUNDING OPTIONS SECTION 1 OVERVIEW Last year at the 1988 annual meeting of the Lake Briarwood Home Owners Association, a committee was formed to investigate the feasibility of street lighting to improve safety and security of the area. Volunteers for the committee were: Mike Heaney and Carl Gerkin. Input for this report was from the following: - mt. Prospect Village Manager. John Dickson. - Mt. Prospect Public Works Department. Herb Weeks. - Mt. Prospect Engineering Department. 'Chuck 2encic. - Mt. Prospect Planing and Development: 'Dave Clemins. - Bell and Gustus Lighting. Doug Bagrowski. - Sternberg Light.ing. Bill Dailey. - Dickerson Engineering. Roger Allen. The proposed light shown in section two of this report is a historic turn of the century Victorian light. The committee selected this model for its charm and unique characteristics, i.e. high efficiency, 45% of the light output is focused toward the street and not the houses, low maintenance materials of polycarbonate globes, aluminum posts, stainless steal ' fasteners, and recommended for high vandalism areas by the manufacturer. The lights would be mounted on fourteen foot aluminum poles spaced approximately 150 feet. The spacing, combined with 100 watt sodium vapor lamps, would give a warm yellow glow similar to gas lamps. The engineering plan in section three is a preliminary plan developed by Chuck Bencic and intended for budgetary use by the Lake Briarwood home owners. If the home owners vote to proceed with the street lighting* a detailed construction plan will be developed. The locations of the street lights shown on the Lake Briarwood map are not final. It may be necessary to place some of the lights or even all of the lights an the opposite siva of the street due to the under ground utilities, i.e. water, gas, electric, telephone and cable TV, are all an the lake side of the street. This would make it very difficult to place the concrete pads needed for each light. All home owners will have a final say in the locations if this project is accepted. The estimated costs shown in section four are $3,000.00 for each light. This includes installation. The estimate is based on actual installations performed by Mt. Prospect, Dickerson Engineering and Bell and Gustus. It is very possible that the cost per light can be reduced by as much as $500.00 if Lake Briarwood purchases all material and sub contracts the work. Funds available for this project are limited to self funding and special assessment. Black grant money is only available to low income communities. If the Mount Prospect Board of Trustees approved our appeal for the lighting, the Village would pay half the cost. Mount Prospect would also provide maintenance and pay the electric bill at no additional cost. SECTION 2 PROPOSED STREET LIGHT The proposed street light shown on the following brochure from Hadco Lighting is a turn of the century Victorian II. This light was selected for its attractive appearance and unique characteristics: 1 - HIGH EFFICIENT LIGHT OUTPUT. - 41% of the total light output is focused down toward the street and not in the sky. Only 25% of the light is reflected toward the houses. This is more than double the light output an the streetcompared to similar lights by other manufactures. - The light output of the Victorian fixture with a 150 watt high pressure sodium (HPS) bulb is more efficient than similar lights using 250 watt HPS lamps. This is due to the internal reflector system and the prismatic globe design. The HPS bulb will give a yellow glow similar to gas lamps. 2 - STREET LIGHT CONSTRUCTION. - Polycarbonate globes. This globe is recommended for high vandalism areas. - Durable cast aluminum globe fitter and ballast housing. - Stainless steel fasteners. 3 - LUMEN OUTPUT WITH 150 WATT HPS LAMP. 4 - WARRANTY - The manufacture gives a three year limited warranty.

The plan uses the COBRA street light which is the Village standard. This light is a commercial grade light mounted on a thirty foot pole. The COBRA can be seen an most main thoroughfares. The spacing for this light is 300 feet due to its MOUnting height. A detailed construction plan using the Victorian light will he developed if the home owners proceed with street lighting. The Victorian style of lighting is being used in downtown Mount Prospect on the south side of the railroad tracks at Emerson. The Engineering Plaois based an the actual locat-ion-of each street light to maximize full lighting of street curves and corners. Spacing of the estimated forty street lights needed for Briarwood Drive will be appr-�imately 150 feet apart. Power distribution for the estimated forty lights will be underground and originate at the power transformers that are located periodically around Briarwood Drive. Each of three main electric feeder cables for the three groups of lights will have an electric meter, a fused disconnect switch and a photo electric cell that will turn the lights on at dusk and off at dawn. Some of the street lights or even all of the street lights may have to be located on the opposite side of the street due to the utilities being on the lake side of the street. Mount Prospect Engineering is concerned that the roncrete pads required for the street lights will interfere with the other utilities, i.e. electric, telephone, gas, water and cable TV. The exact locations will be identified an a detailed plan if we proceed. Moving the lights to the other side of the street will not increase the cost. w 4141, M N 2 0 0 1. r tj 41. g r 74 03 'TOLL 2826 C4, 2413 rqf RA y 0 R i rF jj CATH 21Y22 m I'll LUCAS 1*13 C, c 2915 ZB36 scousTu HFLMS 2B35 AsoEFSCN UL-lw 7.S44 A.:Lld ZS4S le, 4 1r�,Kva. :V.Cl A MATERAS + ,ys014 ; 0 6 1 , 2q _.

SECTION 5 FUNDING OPTIONS Funding the Cost Of Our street lights appears to be limited to self funding or special assessment. Federal and State funding is limited to Black Grant Funds for low income communities. The special assessment option could only be realized if Lake Briarwood could convince the Village trustees that a need for street lights exists. If the need is satisfied, the Village would pay 1/2 of the cost including, maintenance and electric. Listed below are several payment scenarios. ASSUMPTIONS: Cost for each street light, $3,000-00.

Moun, rospect, Illinois AN INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM µ TO: MAYOR GERALD L. FARLEY AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES FROM: VILLAGE MANAGER DATE: OCTOBER, 5, 1990 SUBJECT: COW AGENDA - SIGHT OBSTRUCTIONS As you can tell by the information presented, there have been several people over the last few years who have complied with the direction of the Board at staffs request to eliminate obstructions in the parkway and/or to trim existing shrubbery. The Ordinance has been on the books since mid-1980s. I would strongly urge the Board to continue compliance of the Ordinance. From a liability standpoint, the Village still has concerns over people potentially being injured because of sight obstructions that we allow to remain. In addition, I feel we need to be consistent with those people who we have had come into compliance over the last few years. We should continue to enforce the Ordinance as we have in the past. There have been several discussions at Board and Committee meetings concerning this item by individuals who felt that they do not wish to come into compliance or feel that they have a unique circumstance. Several hours of valuable Board time has been spent on this particular item. I would recommend that the Board allow the Village Manager to act as a Hearing Officer for particular requests that may be raised by individuals who feel that they should have modification to the Ordinance or be exempt from the Ordinance. Having people parade before the Board on a regular basis takes away from valuable time the Board could be spending on other items plus encourages other people to come forward with the hopes that they may have their respective concern modified by the Board and, therefore, do not adhere to the request of the staff.

This shows names, addresses and noncomplying plantings from our most recent mailings. We understood our direction was to notify residents of our ordi- nancns and request compliance in the interest of safety and aesthetics. The Forestry Division's practice is to send out approximately 25 letters in a blanket mailing two or three times per year. on all bushes, we ask that they not be over 3011 in height and evergreen trees have branches trimmed up to six feet above ground. This we feel will give a motorist a safety "win- dow." For safety purposes and enforcement of our ordinances, we also ask for complete removal of any plantings within 61 of fire hydrants. In addition to blanket mailings, each year we send out roughly eight to ten letters to individual property owners where we have received complaints. when objections are received, we try to compromise if possible without sacrificing safety. Where fences or other permanent structures are in the public right-of-way, we feel no compromise is possible, as there apparently is no permit and it is a viola- tion of an ordinance passed by the Village Board. One alternative to the present system the Board may wish to consider is to continue the blanket mailings but allow objectors to appeal to the Safety commission on a case-by-case basis. We will accept any decision the Board makes, plus not send any further letters of noncompliance to residents in matters relat- ing to bushes, fences, or rocks on public rights-of-way until the Board has sufficient time to review existing policies. , However, we would caution that we would not want to see a seri- ous accident occur, and should we be directed to discontinue enforcement, legal opinions indicate there may be a liability involved. erbert L.

OVERNIGHT PARKING Village Ordinances currently prohibit'overnight parking on all residential streets. This restriction is designed to facilitate snowplowing and street sweeping activities and to enhance crime prevention efforts. However, this Ordinance appears to present a hardship for residents with limited space for off -street -parking. The attached memo summarizes the staff's concern for overnight parking and suggests that some alternatives may be available. V. SEAT BELT POLICY Although the Village Board has.not been unanimous in support of proposed Seat Belt Legislation at the State level, there is concern that the Village's internal policy on seat belt usage should be strengthened. Currently, the Village staff is encouraged but not required to wear seat belts while on Village business. The attached studies indicate that if an aggressive saf_a- Awareness campaign is unsuccessful in changing attitudes towards seat belts, andatbry seat belt policy may be necessary. VI. �IREEK-!A.Nb.`gki Prompted by a recent.judgment against the City of Aurora, the Executive S-afe --v Committee has recommended strict enforcement of existing Village Ordinances which require uire the trimming of trees and shrubs which overhang the public right-of-way. This Ordinance is designed to limit obstruc- tions at street intersections. As indicated in the attached correspondence from Dave Newman, it would appear that the Village may be liable in the event that non -enforcement of the Ordinance led to an accident. VII.

It was the opinion of staff that because there has not been a clear policy on the enforcement practices involved in this issue, a policy direction should be received from your office' Herb Weeks recalled that a few years ago there was an attempt to enforce ' —these regulations and someone appealed to the Village Board and it was reversed against staff. It does appear that we do have a liability exposure in this area. With your direction Department Heads will set up strong, strict enforcement practices, including warning notices and citations to correct this problem in our community. As you will recall, this matter was brought to our attention because of a recent judgement against the City of Aurora. Please advise. (;W, III-Xvitt"a 'Ronald N.

There is also a matter against the Village of Mavwood for con- tributory negligence in an injury receivea d�_e to a street intersection shrubbery obstruction in violation of village ordinances. with re, spect to Mount Prospect regulations, I have examined those contained in Article V of Chapter 9 regarding planting of trees on public property, including streets and parkways, and tri: -ming of trees on private property which overhang any public sidewalk, street or other place in the Village, and it is my opinion that these regulations adequately provide for the planting and the maintenance of trees in such manner so as not to create an obstruction of a street intersection, etc. Specifically, Section 9.501.C.7 limits tree planting to within 6 feet of driveways and 40 feet from intersections. Section 9.503 requires private property owners to trim any tree located on Private property which overhangs any public sidewalk, street, or other public way in such a manner as to impede or inter- fere with traffic or travel on such public way'- I do not believe any strengthening of our current tree regula- tiOns is necessary. However, care must be taken to insure that the Village tree planting and tri=­ing regulations are complied with, so as to avoid the risk of liability in the event of an accident contributed to as a result of a tree or shrubbery ob- struction. .,en, truly yours DNC: ws David C.

" * w The Village Manager explained that the Village in the past has sought to gain compliance with the Ordinance in those situations where 'there was a'clear and signiJ cant public hazard and danger. However, the administration , has in the past exercised a fair degree of discretion as �''.;k it relates to private property and very mature shrubber that only technically violated the!Ordinace. However,',f;, 41 'w based upon the case in the City of and a case a* -s h- few years ago that found a city liable for: a; lack of ,>>a..w ;AX enforcement of its fire prevention' codes, -,'•it is the " recommendation of the administration that the "illage} pursue a more aggressive enforcement policy." A general discussion by the Committee of the Whole ensued and the administration was instructed to enforce the Ordinance that is currently on th- books and send notice to those property owners who are in violation giving then. a reasonable period of time to correct the situation. As with the administration of all Ordinances, sound fielu Judgment will be necessary to.:carry out'the enforcement;•, of the Ordinance. J. ;.

FARLEY AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES FROM: VILLAGE MANAGER DATE: OCTOBER 5, 1990 M-1 114 PX43101A vy W.11 K11111310 Attached is a memorandum from Cable Television Administrator Pasalic indicating the ability to provide televised programs of the Zoning Board with the understanding that it be necessary to add additional staff. While the cost would be an additional $9,000 for this year, a total amount of approximately $26,000 would be needed in order to staff at the level which the Cable Television Administrator feels is appropriate to provide this additional service. In addition, if we are to consider staffing at this level, we would also have staff available for programs that we have in existence now, however, a major problem that we have is that we do not have an adequate studio or timeframe to utilize the Senior Center to provide the studio facilities for these _programs. I believe we should also address the need for a cable studio. This is an item that very well should be discussed with any modifications to the Cable Franchise. The space that is used by the Cable Division also is not laid out well for utilization by Cable staff plus there is a need for additional space for Human Services to have private counseling areas for the clientele in which they deal. If we were to add additional staff for production purposes of the Zoning Board meetings, which I feel is necessary because the present staff is overtaxed for the amount of work they are providing, we should except more programming to be produced by the Cable staff, however, in order to do so, we need to have an adequate facility for programming purposes.

Emerson Mount Prospect, Illinois 60056 CAROL A FIELDS Rhone: 708 / 392-6000 MEMO Fax: 708 / 392-6022 TO: JOHN F. DIXON, VILLAGE MANAGER V4> FROM: CHERYL L. PASALIC, CABLE TELEVISION ADMINISTRATOR Co -/ � DATE: SEPTEMBER 6, 1990 RE: TRUSTEE VAN GEEM'S REQUEST FOR ZONING BOARD BROADCASTS BEGINNING JANUARY, 1991 This memo is in response to your request for information pertaining to Trustee Van Geem's request that the cable Television Division begin broadcasting the Zoning Board meetings in addition to the Village Board meetings. To accomplish this, several changes and budget increases would have to be implemented. First of all, the Cable Division currently produces the Village Board meetings each week as well as several regular monthly programs (Talk of the Town, Senior Beat, This Is...) and occasional programs (i.e. Issues and Answers) . In addition, we also regularly produce public service announcements on Village programs and services to run within these programs. All of these productions are accomplished with only myself, a Production Assistant (Chris Sanborn) , Community Assistants who are paid a small stipend, a temporary part-time Production Secretary, and occasionally a college intern (when available) . These productions take a good deal more than a regular work week to accomplish. To off -set some of the vast uncompensated overtime that Chris and I must work to complete the existing programs, we each take one morning off during the week, and many times then work additional nights or weekends as well. I agree with the principle that government access programming should include all Boards and Commissions when possible. At this time, the Cable Division could use a part-time production person just to assist with our regular programming. The addition of these other I to 2 meetings per month would definitely require a part-time production person be added or else eliminate some of the regular programming to allow for employee scheduling. This would also mean that the staff and myself would need to work some hours that would not coincide with regular business hours in the office. For this reason, and the existing work -load I have previously discussed with you, I would also recommend that the secretary position be upgraded to a full-time position immediately. Page 2 I would project the total cost of adding these programs and relieving our staffing problems to be an additional $9,221 for the current fiscal year through the end of April. This total is arrived at by calculating the following: A part-time production person would need to be paid approximately $8.50 - 9.00 per hour at approximately 25 hours per week. This would represent a cost of an additional cost of up to $11,700 per year, but since there would only be approximately 16 weeks left in the fiscal year when broadcasting would begin, this would only add $3,600 to the current fiscal year budget. The Production Secretary, if added immediately, would only add an additional $5,101 to this fiscal year, which really reflects the cost of benefits only, and would cost approximately $23,550 for a fiscal year including benefits at $9.00 an hour. We currently have enough trained volunteers to cover the additional nights, but -did not budget for those meetings. The anticipated additional cost for these Community Assistants would be $400 for this fis77il year budget. The anticipated cost of additional video tape no,: ,',,U'dgeted for would be approximately $120 for this fiscal year. As I stated previously, I would not mind adding these additional broadcasts, but some considerations would. ne ' d -to be made in the areas I noted. Please call me with any questions.
