II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
8/22: Discussion
9/6: MOTION: I move to approve the five-year agreement with the Tri-Cities Visitor and
Convention Bureau for promotion of tourism and, further, authorize the Mayor to
sign the agreement.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Estimated $70,000 annual expense; approximately half from room tax and half from the
general fund.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) All three cities have long allocated a portion of their respective room tax receipts to the
Visitor &Convention Bureau (VCB) to provide for the promotion of visitors and tourists
to the community. In addition to promotional activities, the statute which authorizes the
room tax to be collected also permits the funds to be expended on acquisition and
operation of tourism related facilities (i.e., stadiums, convention centers, performing arts
facilities, etc.).
B) Since 1991, the three cities have maintained contracts with the Bureau which provide for
the same general outline of services. The payment for those services has been fixed at a
percentage of the average annual room tax receipts in the respective jurisdiction over the
preceding five years. Initially, Pasco provided 40% of its receipts (through 1995); in
1995, the city agreed to increase that percentage to 50% over the ensuing five years
(increasing 2% each year). Thus, since CY 2000, Pasco has provided 50% of its average
annual receipts as payment for the Bureau's services (consistent with the other two
cities).
C) The collection of hotel/motel revenues (room tax receipts) over the past five years is
reflected in attachment 1. Room tax receipts have been fairly static over the past several
years, with a notable rise (approximately 8%) in 2004 and a similar increase projected for
2005. Most of the increase in room tax receipts are attributable to the presence of
additional hotel rooms (AmeriSuites facility _opened last year and the Best Western
opened earlier this year).
D) The proposed agreement is essentially the same as the prior agreement, although it
reflects a greater emphasis on sports marketing than did the old agreement. It is
anticipated that sports marketing will benefit Pasco in view of the sport-related facilities
(i.e., Edgar Brown Stadium, soccer complex and softball complex). Thus, the promotion
of tourism is not only essential to sustain historical levels of room tax receipts, but also to
promote more use of local facilities which will generate more tourism and, in turn,
positively influence that segment of the Pasco and Tri-Cities economy (and local room
tax receipts).
V. DISCUSSION:
A) Given the need to market the community's sport facilities coupled with the growth in
rooms available in the Pasco market, it is vitally important to maintain an effective
marketing program through the VCB. To that end, the proposed agreement will sustain
the current program and, in view of the modifications of the agreement, should result in
greater use of the sport facilities in Pasco over the next five years. As such, staff 3(a)
recommends approval of the agreement.

III. FISCAL IMPACT
None.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. In April, 2002, the Washington State Legislature required the
payment of a $10.00 surcharge on all documents recorded in the
County Auditor's office. Funds collected would be used for housing
programs for people earning below 50 percent of area median
income.
B. At present, Franklin County has collected approximately $248,000
in surcharge revenue. The County collects about $80,000
annually.
C. All projects assisted with these funds must be in accordance with
an Inter-local agreement between the County and the City in which
the project is located.
D. On June 22-23, 2005 the Franklin County Commissioners
conducted workshops to develop a policy for the allocation of
affordable housing funds. The workshops were attended by the
below listed people:

Notes from the two workshops are attached as Exhibit B.

V. DISCUSSION:
A. Under the terms of the draft Inter-local Agreement, funds would be
deposited in a housing trust fund to be administered by the "Pasco
Housing Authority, or similar entity, a qualified independent third
party organization." The administrative entity is to distribute the
funds through a competitive process. The Inter-local would be in
force for a period of five years. Any party, however, may terminate
the agreement upon a 12 month written notice. The administrative
entity will be under an oversight committee of five people (one from
each City and one from the County).
B. Approval of this inter-local as now drafted would give control of the
funds to the PHA and a committee heavily weighted toward the
small towns and rural areas of the County.
C. The County is asking for comments by August 31 st. Some of the
questions that should be asked include:
(1) The population of Pasco is now 44,190. The combined
population of the three small cities and unincorporated area is
16,310. What is the rationale for giving Pasco only 1 vote in 5
when over 73% of the population resides in Pasco?
(2) The City and PHA are not in agreement on housing priorities.
What control will the City have over the nature and location of
projects proposed to be located in Pasco? .
(3) What specific authority will the oversight committee have over
the PHA or a similar entity? Project approval?
(4) What is a "similar entity"? After the Inter-local is signed, how
would a "similar entity" be designated?
(5) What criteria will be used to evaluate projects? The
competitive process needs to be defined.
D. By signing the Agreement as now drafted, the City would be giving
the PHA and a committee representing rural areas authority to
allocate funds as they see fit. The Agreement needs to be revised to
give Pasco more weight on the oversight committee in recognition
of the fact that almost 3/4 of the population resides in the City of
Pasco. It would also be appropriate for each city to pre-approve
and/or endorse any projects proposed for funding within its
corporate limits.
E. Based on discussions at the workshop, staff will prepare a
comment letter for submission to the County prior to the
August 31st deadline.

111. FISCAL IMPACT
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. In September, 2002 the City Council approved an Agreement with the
Pasco Downtown Development Association (PDDA) for the management
of the Downtown Commercial Kitchen Business Incubator located at
106-108 South 411, Avenue.
B. Since the inception of the Agreement, the City has allocated CDBG funds
to the PDDA to offset operating costs of the facility. Additional CDBG
funding is not part of this Agreement. The PDDA request for CDBG
funding will be considered later this year along with funding requests by
other.agencies.
C. The PDDA has asked that the Agreement be updated and clarified.
V. DISCUSSION.
A. It has been the City's expectation that the kitchen would be operated like
a traditional business in which revenues will be used to maintain and
periodically update the facility. Any surplus funds beyond that
expectation could be used to support PDDA economic restructuring
activities. It is hoped that eventually the kitchen will be self-supporting.
B. The revisions to the Agreement are more for clarification than policy
changes. The notable changes are as follows:
1) Condition #1 explicably states that the PDDA has the authority to
operate the facility.
2) Condition #7 states that the PDDA will not be compelled to subsidize
the kitchen in the event that expenses or costs exceed revenues.
3) Condition #8 reflects the reality that funding will be from the CDBG
program on a year-to-year basis.
4) Condition #14 The Agreement will remain in effect until terminated by
one of the parties upon thirty (30) days notice.
C. The PDDA is in agreement with the revised contract.

III. FISCAL IMPACT
$10,000 Federal HOME funds.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. Pasco entered into a HOME consortium Agreement with Richland
and Kennewick in 1995 making the City eligible for Federal HOME
funds. In April 2005, this Agreement was extended to 2007.
B. Pasco has utilized its share of HOME funds for a new construction
program in the vicinity of 24th Avenue and Henry streets. Under
the terms of this program the City built 23 new homes and sold
them at a write-down that was affordable to lower income families.
This project is now completed.
C. As of today, the City has over $850,000 available in new HOME
funds and program income from the sale of homes in the Henry
Street project. Under Federal regulations these funds need to be
under contract with a third party by December 31, 2005.
D. At the March, 2004 City Council Retreat, "Neighborhood
Redevelopment" was listed as a goal for 2004-2005. The
Redevelopment Strategy Plan, accepted by Council in 2004,
recommends that assistance programs be concentrated in two
neighborhoods in the vicinity of Longfellow School and the
Franklin County Historical Museum (see Exhibit B).
E. Key elements of the Revitalization Plan are providing financial
assistance for the rehab of existing homes and providing down
payment assistance to encourage owner occupants to move into
the area.

F. The City recently hired a full-time "Urban Development
Coordinator" to replace the one half-time CDBG Coordinator who
was responsible for grant administration. The Urban Development
Coordinator will be responsible for both downtown and
neighborhood improvement programs as well as grant
administration.
G. The administration of housing rehabilitation and down payment
assistance programs is staff intensive and complex requiring:
1) Development of program regulations in accordance with Federal
requirements;
2) Marketing the program to homeowners, contractors and lending
institutions;
3) Certifying the incomes of program participants;
4) Inspecting properties, preparing plans and specifications for bid
documents, bidding out the jobs, and inspection of the work.
H. To assist the Urban Development Coordinator, staff advertised for
the assistance of a qualified consultant to set up and eventually
administer these programs.
V. DISCUSSION:
A. In response to the Request for Qualifications, the City received one
response from Creative Housing Solutions in Yakima.
B. Staff believes that Creative Housing Solutions is well qualified to
perform this work and would recommend that a contract for the
development of program regulations for housing rehab and down
payment assistance programs be entered into.
C. Upon Council approval of the program regulations it is anticipated
that a second contract for administration of the programs would be
presented to City Council for review and approval.
D. A standard professional services agreement is attached. The work
will be completed within 30 days. The consultant will bill the City
at the rate of $65.00 per hour for actual costs incurred in an
amount not to exceed $10,000.

the General Petty Cash Fund of the City and increasing the reimbursement limit.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF;
The General Petty Cash Fund of the City was first established in 1965 at $200. It has been amended
several times and currently totals $3,265. The Finance Division of the Administrative and
Community Services Department has recently hired additional staff and is in need of an additional
cash drawer for the additional Customer Service Representative (Cashier) and some additional funds
to make change for the Cashiers.
V. DISCUSSION:
Finance receives many requests for petty cash reimbursements and has a $500 cash box for this
purpose. Finance also has a $500 change fund in order to keep and make change for the Customer
Service Representatives when their small change dwindles during the day. It would severely limit
the change fund to take $200 from the cash box to make up the additional cash box. Staff is
requesting an additional amount to be put into the Petty Cash Fund to reduce the frequent trips to the
bank for small change The request is to increase the total amount in the General Petty Cash Fund
account to a total of$4,000.
Staff is also requesting the limit on a single receipt reimbursement be increased from$15 to$25.

III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Decrease in City's maintenance expense and increase in revenue from TCYSA over the
remainder of the agreement.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) The City and the Youth Soccer Association entered into an agreement for the
development and use of the soccer complex at Road 68 in February 1995. The '
agreement has served well for a number of years, however, changing conditions
have prompted both the City and TCYSA to consider amendments which are
summarized below:
1) TCYSA requested an option to extend the agreement for an additional term of
10 years. This has been incorporated into the agreement (Paragraph 1) with the
proviso that in exchange for such option, the association agrees to paying 50% of
the City's annual maintenance expense for the complex for such term.
2) Unnecessary language regarding the original development of the facility
(Paragraph 2) has been eliminated and language on the provision of utilities
updated.
3) Maintenance responsibilities (Paragraph 3) are shifted to place the cost of the
building and restrooms on TCYSA as opposed to the City, for the life of the
amended agreement.
4) Use of Premises (Paragraph 4) is clarified including the City's right to
schedule fields.
5) Parking revenues are assigned to the TCYSA. These were formally collected
by the City, however, the City had no control over the scheduling of tournaments
which impacted such revenues. Net revenue has gradually decreased from a high
of nearly $18k in 2000 to a low of$4.2k in 2003. This revenue will be more than
offset by the loss of the restroom maintenance responsibility and the increased
payment from TCYSA to the City (See#6, below) in 2005.
3{g}
6) Payments to the City by TCYSA for maintenance of the fields is increased
from $10,000 to $15,000 in 2005 and thereafter increasing by $5,000 per year
until total annual payment is $30,000 (Paragraph 6).
7) Paragraph 11 was revised to allow rental use of the facility provided
appropriate hold harmless and insurance agreements are secured.
8) The paragraph on early termination (Paragraph 12) was revised to update
replacement costs and incorporate the extension option.
B) The Youth Soccer Association has approved the agreement. Staff recommends
Council approval.

premises to be used for any unlawful purposes.
The TCYSA further agrees to hold at least two (2) major soccer tournaments per year
with the primary purpose of bringing in out-of-town teams and shall have a minimum of
forty (40) teams at each of these tournaments. All revenues collect by TCYSA, i.e.
tournament entry fees, team fees, player fees, and concession revenue shall, except as
Amended Agreement for Land Use&Development/Soccer Complex
-2
otherwise stated herein, belong to the TCYSA for its uses and purposes. Should the City
hold soccer tournaments of its own, revenues therefrom shall belong to the City, with
concession stand revenues subject to addendum and special agreement, as the case may
be, since the TCYSA has sole control and responsibility therefore.
5. Parking. The TCYSA shall have the right to use the parking lot at the adjacent
professional baseball complex for its coaches, spectators, team members and officials and
shall make all reasonable efforts to avoid conflicts between special stadium events and
TCYSA soccer events for stadium parking.
For its events, TCYSA may provide parking attendants and collect a parking fee. The fee
shall be a daily fee in an amount established by TCYSA. All parking fees collected shall
be the exclusive property of TCYSA.
6. Payment to the City. Beginning in 2005, TCYSA shall pay to the City, as partial
compensation for maintenance of the soccer fields, the sum of$15,000. Thereafter, the
annual payment shall be increased by $5,000 per year until the annual payment reaches
$30,000. Thereafter, the annual payment shall be increased by 3% per year through the
end of the term.
7. Development Permits. Because the City is the owner of the property, it agrees to make
application for all necessary permits which may be required for the development of the
soccer complex.
8. Indemnification. In addition to any other indemnities provided by this agreement, and
to the extend permitted by law, each party ("indemnifying party") shall, at its sole cost
and expense, indemnify and save harmless the other, and their respective agents, officers,
or employees ("indemnities") against and from all claims asserted against the other party
or their respective indemnities by reason of any work or things done or not done in, on, or
about the premises or the improvements made in connection with the indemnifying
party's construction, development, maintenance or repair obligations under Sections 2
and 3 of this agreement.
Each party ("indemnifying party") agrees at its sole cost and expense, and to the extend
permitted by law, to indemnify and defend the other party and their respective
indemnities and hold them harmless from all claims, arising from or as a consequence of
the rights granted to or obligations incurred by the indemnifying party under this
agreement, the use of the premises by the indemnifying party or the operation, alteration,
maintenance or removal of the improvements by the indemnifying party. It is the intent
of this paragraph that each indemnifying party shall indemnify the other party with
respect to all claims arising out of the indemnifying party's use, activities, and/or
occupancy of the premises. The provisions of this section shall survive beyond the terms
of this agreement for occurrences which occur during the term.

9. Liens. The TCYSA shall not create or permit to be created or to remain, and shall
discharge as provided in this paragraph, any liens, encumbrance, or charge levied on
account of any mechanics, laborers, or materialmen, or otherwise (collectively, "a lien")
which might be or become a lien, encumbrance or charge upon the premises.
10. Insurance. The City represents that it is a self-insured public entity and a member of a
self-insurance pool of municipalities (Washington Cities Insurance Authority). The
TCYSA shall during the term of this agreement maintain, or cause to be maintained, at its
cost, liability insurance on an occurrence basis with minimum combined limits for
personal injury and property damages in the amount of one million dollars
($1,000,000.00).
11. Fee for Use of Premises. In the event that either the City or TCYSA, intends to impose
any fee or rental for the use of the premises for soccer play it shall first secure an
indemnity agreement from the potential user holding both the City and TCYSA harmless
against all claims, losses and expenses in connection with such user's use of the premises
and further, shall secure a certificate of insurance, comparable to the limits set forth in
Section 10 of this agreement, naming both the City and TCYSA as additional insureds
under such policy of the potential users. This restriction is intended to protect the parties
from liability through the provisions of the State Recreational Land Use Immunity
Statutes. This provision shall not preclude the fees charges by either party for general
registration or tournament entry.
12. Early Termination.
A) Without Cause. Either party may terminate this agreement for any reason by
giving the other party two (2) years advance written notice of its intention to
terminate to the other party. Should termination by the City occur hereinunder,
the amount of compensation due TCYSA shall he 65% of the determined or
agreed replacement cost exclusive of land acquisition for the 2007 year period,
then for each year thereafter the amount of compensation shall be reduced by
five percent(5%)per year.
B) Agreement Extension. In the event that this agreement is extended pursuant to
Section 1, the amount of compensation due from the City in the event of
termination by the City, per paragraph (A), above, shall be calculated on the
basis of a reduction of three percent (3%)per year for the applicable years of the
original agreement plus 10 years of the extension,
13. Arbitration. In the event a dispute exists after they have met and attempted food faith
negotiation, the Parties agree to submit the same to binding arbitration for determination
by a third person. The City and TCYSA agree to request the presiding Judge of the
Superior Court, County of Franklin, State of Washington, to provide a list of the names of
three (3)persons qualified under the circumstances to resolve the particular dispute. Both
City and TCYSA may eliminate one person from such list; the remaining person shall
resolve the dispute.
Amended Agreement for Land Use&Development/Soccer Complex
-4
City and TCYSA agree that the person selected to resolve the dispute may establish the
procedures, rules, methods and processes by which the dispute shall be resolved and that
the City and TCYSA agree to cooperate in good faith with such person to ascertain the
facts necessary to permit resolution. The Arbitrator shall render a decision within thirty
(30) days of the close of the hearing.
14. Remedies. Each of the parties shall have all remedies available by law or in equity,
including specific performance, to force any obligation of the other party to this
agreement. However, except as provided in this agreement, (Section12) termination of
this agreement shall not be available as a remedy for any parry.
15. No Waiver. No failure by any party to insist upon the strict performance of any
covenant, agreement, promise, term or condition of this agreement or to exercise any
right or remedy consequent upon any breach shall constitute a waiver of any breach of a
covenant, agreement, promise term or condition.
16. Notices. All notices required or permitted under this agreement shall be in writing and

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council August 17, 2005
FROM: Gary Crutchfie +anager Workshop Mtg.. 8/22/05
Regular Mtg.. 9/6/05
SUBJECT: CBC Ramps P ject Financing Agreement
I. REFERENCE(S):
1. Interlocal Agreement: CBC Ramps Project Financing
2. Proposed Addendum to Interlocal Agreement
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
8/22: Discussion
916: MOTION: I move to approve the Addendum to the Interlocal Agreement with
Columbia Basin College and Port of Pasco providing for financing of the CBC
Ramps Project and, further, authorize the Mayor to sign the addendum.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Net cost to city is approximately$400,000; General Fund.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) The City initially proposed to the state highway department construction of an off ramp
from 395 to Argent Road near the northwest corner of the CBC site. The Washington
State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) generally concurred in the benefit of such
a project, but noted it would have to be constructed with local funds. The City, Port and
CBC entered into an interlocal agreement (CBC Ramps Project Financing Agreement) in
summer 2004. That agreement essentially calls for the three parties to share the cost of
the ramps project equally (1/3 each); at that time, the estimated project cost was
$650,000.
B) WSDOT's approval of the design took considerably more time than anticipated and the
Port of Pasco needed to include design parameters associated with its anticipated
development of about 70 acres of industrial property on the north side of Argent Road.
The project was recently approved by the state and out for bid, with the low bid
reflecting a total project cost (for the CBC Ramps) of$1,200,000. As a consequence, the
interlocal agreement must be amended to reflect the higher project cost and delayed
project schedule.
C) In addition to the increased cost for the base project, certain improvements on the north
side of Argent Road are entirely attributable to the changes needed by the Port to
accommodate its industrial development plans. Consequently, the Port has agreed to
reimburse 100% of those particular costs.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) The proposed addendum will make three key changes:
• Declare the new project construction deadline of December 15, 2005;
• Change the maximum project cost to reflect the recent bid award ($1,200,000);
• Provide that the Port will reimburse the City 100% of those improvements on
Argent Road specifically included for benefit of the Port (i.e., Schedule C).
B) Given the substantial improvement to traffic circulation anticipated as a result of the
project and the commitment of both CBC and the Port to equally share the base project
cost, staff advises Council to approve the addendum.

1. Proposed Agreement with WSDOT for the improvements at 1-182 and Road 68 Interchange
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
08/22 Discussion
08/29: MOTION: I move to approve the Agreement with WSDOT for the improvements at
I-182 and Road 68 Interchange and further, authorize the City Manager
to sign the Agreement.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Arterial Street Fund/Traffic Impact Fees/General Fund
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The proposed agreement with WSDOT is to construct additional improvements at the I-182 and
Road 68 interchange. Last year the City and WSDOT paid for certain improvements, including
the addition of traffic signals. The 2004 improvements provided two lanes of traffic to cross
over I-182 and continue on Road 68 as well as single left turns onto Road 68 from 1-182 at the
new signals. The improvement designed by WSDOT and proposed in the new agreement would
provide double left turns onto Road 68 at the signals and four(4)travel lanes crossing 1-182 and
continuing on Road 68.
The projected costs are identified in Exhibit A of the agreement. The maximum payable by the
City is $503,665.78. The development impact fees based on The Transpo Group study
identified$384,000 for this project., The remaining funds, approximately$120,000, would be
provided by the General Fund.
The 2005-2010 City Capital Improvement program identified $400,000 in 2006 for this project.
With the rapid growth along Road 68, staff believes making improvements as soon as possible
would be in the best interest of the community.
WSDOT scheduled August 22, 2005 to advertise the project for bid. The intent is to construct
the improvements this year.
Staff recommends approval of the agreement, $504,000 be added to the year-end supplemental
budget for the project, and authorize the City Manager to sign the Agreement.

SUBJECT: Ainsworth Closure Update
1. REFERENCE(S):
11. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
08/22: Discussion
09/06 Motion: I move to approve Resolution No. , allowing temporary
closure of Ainsworth Avenue between 9`h Avenue and Gray Street for the
duration of seven(7)months for construction of the Ainsworth Overpass
Project
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
On August 8, 2005 staff discussed with Council the consultant's recommendation to
close Ainsworth Avenue between 9`h Avenue and Gray Street for a six-month
duration for the construction of the Ainsworth Overpass. The project design
consultant, Anderson and Perry, recommends the closure during construction to
reduce costs and construction time. Staff stated that following a proposed mailing to
the residents, staff would report back to council on August 22"°. Following the
meeting the consultant informed staff that the closure would need to be for seven
months instead of the six previously recommended. The time and cost savings would
be the same.
On August 9, 2005, the City sent out 363 letters informing residents and businesses in
the affected area of the possible closure and included a way for citizens to respond
with comments to the City by either mail or telephone.
As of August 16, twenty five (25) responses have been recorded. Nearly every
response favored the project even while acknowledging the closure might
inconvenience them. One concern is access to public transit, which is being
addressed with Ben Franklin Transit in order to provide continuation of services
during the closure.
Staff will continue to monitor and record comments as they come in. At this point
staff recommends Council authorize the closure plan.

SUBJECT: Video Taping/ roadcasting of City Meetings
I. REFERENCE(S):
1. Memorandum from Management Assistant dated August 18, 2005
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL /STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
8/22: Discussion
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) Council recently requested that staff research the options for video taping and
broadcasting City Council meetings. The initial research by staff is reflected in
attachment 1 (memorandum from Elden Buerkle, Management Assistant, in the City
Manager's office).
V. DISCUSSION:
A) Council should consider two elements of cost in this matter: first, the "capital cost"
of acquiring and installing the system; second, the "operating cost" necessary to
operate the system and assure timely broadcast of the meetings. The capital cost of
an adequate system should be much closer to the $20,000-$30,000 range rather than
the $150,000 range, as the fundamental purpose of broadcasting the city meeting is to
permit the viewer to witness the meeting just as they would if they were sitting in the
audience; thus, the viewer at home need not have the benefit of close-ups, etc. This
also removes the potential for complaint that some Councilmembers are getting
"more face time" than others. The operating cost (assuming a modest video system
similar to West Richland) should not cost more than about $3,000 a year; this
assumes all Council meetings, Planning Commission and Code Enforcement Board
meetings are taped and rebroadcast on cable.
B) If Council is inclined to pursue installation of a video system, staff recommends a
new audio system be considered as well, for three reasons: first, there have been
periodic complaints that the current system is less than adequate for those with
hearing difficulties; second, the system is 10 years old now and it is becoming more
and more difficult to repair (replacement parts are becoming obsolete); and third,
replacement in conjunction with the video system would allow the audio system to
be integrated and avoid potential conflict. It is guesstimated that a good audio
system will approximate $25,000.
C) Staff requests Council direction in this matter.
MEMORANDUM
August 18, 2005
TO: Gary Crutchfield, City Manager
FROM: Elden Buerkle, Management Assistant
RE: Options for Broadcasting Council Meetings Over the Cable System
We have researched equipment options for installing a system to broadcast City Council
meetings over the Charter cable system
Summary: The cost to install a system to broadcast meetings of the City Council over the Charter
cable system can range from $1,500 for an audio only system, to approximately $150,000 for a
sophisticated video system. We estimate that a system that will meet the Council's needs can be
installed for a minimum of about $20,000. Ongoing expenses to maintain the system would be
required. None of the systems discussed here require staff 100 percent dedicated to their
operation.
Background: We contacted nearby cities to discover what systems they use to broadcast
meetings over cable video systems. We found there was a range of technologies used:
1. Walla Walla only broadcasts audio over the cable system. Interested citizens tune to the
government access cable channel on their TV's and can listen to the council meeting as it
takes place. There is no video. Walla Walla does not record the audio feed over the cable
system.
2. West Richland has a modest video system that was installed several years ago. A wide-angle
lens camera is permanently fixed on the council dais. Another camera is permanently fixed
on the podium. The city clerk is responsible for switching between the council and podium
cameras. West Richland does not make video recordings of council meetings and does not
rebroadcast them(broadcast is live only).
3. Richland has a sophisticated system that cost around $300,000 to install about six years ago.
There is one full-time and one part-time position totally dedicated to cable communications.
Richland records and replays meetings of the city council and other boards and commissions
on a regular schedule. Recordings of meetings and other Richland created programs are
available in either tape or dvd format. Richland also broadcasts 24 hour programming on
their government access channel.
Findings: A range of technologies and costs for broadcasting meetings of the Council and other
boards and commissions is available. Necessary, equipment includes cameras, a switcher to
control the cameras, and recording and playback equipment. There is a range of quality and
prices for this equipment. Because in the last few years video technology has been improving
Broadcasting Equipment Options: page 2
while costs have been coming down, a fairly sophisticated system could be installed for much
less than Richland's experience.
1. High End Video System, Approximately $150,000:
We have a rough estimate of approximately $150,000 for the installation of a high end
system. This would include three or four remotely controlled (pan/tilt), broadcast quality
cameras. They would be zoom lens cameras with the ability to take close-up and wide-angle
shots, or intermediate range shots, and would be remotely operated by a City staff member
located in the Council chamber. Input from the digital presenter (the replacement for the
overhead projector) could be directly fed into the video system. The system would include
the ability to record programs and replay them on a set schedule over the government access
cable channel. Recordings of meetings in tape or dvd format would be available for sale to
the public.
2. Low End Video System, Approximately $20,000:
The installation cost for a minimal video system is estimated at about $20,000. This system
would include three or four less than broadcast quality fixed cameras. One camera could be
fixed on the council dais, one fixed on the podium, and one fixed on staff. As with the high
end system, this system could take input directly from the digital presenter and include it in
the video feed. A City staff member would control what is being broadcast by switching
between cameras as different parties are speaking. As with the more expensive system, the
system could record meetings and replay them on a set schedule over the government access
cable channel. Recordings of meetings in tape or dvd,format would be available for sale to
the public.
The difference between the low end and the high end systems would be in the quality of the
cameras (probably video conference quality rather than broadcast quality). Also, the low end
system would probably only be able to produce one type of shot per camera; that is, the low
end cameras would be unable to zoom or change focus to take close-up shots or wide-angle
shots. It may be possible to install lower quality pan/tilt zoom cameras at around this cost
level.
There is a range of options between the low end system, at an estimated cost of$20,000, and
the high end system estimated at $150,000; for example, one remotely controlled, pan/tilt
camera with a zoom lens could be added to the low end system to allow close ups, scanning
the audience, or capturing presentations other than those on the digital presenter.
3. Audio Only System, Approximately $1,500:
The lowest cost option would be to do as Walla Walla does and broadcast only audio over
the government access cable channel. The cost estimate for a minimal system to broadcast an
audio feed only over the cable system is approximately$1,500
Conclusion: With direction from Council on which of these options they would like to pursue (if
any), staff can find a knowledgeable consultant who can help in the decision-making process and
help format a bid for installation of the system.
