MAYOR AND COUNCIL ITEMS: Video-taping Council Meetings City Manager Lewis introduced Economic/Redevelopment Assistant Parrish who reported he had contacted Cablevision who is reviewing a copy of the franchise. Preliminarily, it has been determined that Cablevision does not have to provide the City with equipment or manpower but they can televise the City Council meetings. There are several options available: (1) Televise meetings live on cable; (2) Tape meetings, review and delay broadcast and (3) Tape meetings, edit and present highlights of meetings. Staff recommended selection by City Council of the taping format and suggested proceeding with the most cost-effective alternative. Councilman Roman stated he understood that equipment was available under franchise or that the money was set aside to purchase equipment. Mr. Parrish reported that $89000.00 is available. After discussion on the preferred method of televising the City Council meetings, motion by Councilman Roman, seconded by Mayor Gonzales, to purchase the necessary equipment for live telecast proceeded upon roll call vote: Councilmember Roman and Mayor Gonzales voting AYE. Councilmembers Cisneros, Rehrer and Lofy voting NO. Motion did not carry. Motion by Councilmember Lofy, seconded by Councilmember Cisneros, to purchase equipment necessary to tape the City Council meetings, said tapes to be kept and used for reference only. Unanimous vote.
