7) The Community Producer 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 District 57 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

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participation and funding is withdrawn, the Village shall not be obligated to fund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 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 January 31, 2002. Thirty (30) 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 for an additional two (2) years ending December 31, 2004. 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.
