<br />The Media Center proposed budget is $773,183. This budget is composed of operating <br />expenditures totaling $581,995 and capital expenditures of $191,188. In addition to the budget, <br />the Operations Committee has also proposed an increase in the subscriber's monthly PEG fee <br />from $2.56/month to $2.64/month. The Memorandum of Understanding between the Member <br />Cities and Comcast allows for an annual cost of living increase in the PEG fee. The eight-cent <br />increase represents a 3.3% CPI average. The increased funding is necessary for the Media Center <br />to meet staffing and equipment goals. The Telecommunications Commission is recommending <br />this increase in the PEG fee. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />That Member Cities approve the 2006 Media Center budget and increase <br />in the PEG fee to $2.64/month as presented by the Telecommunications <br />Commission and Operations Committee. <br /> <br />The Joint Powers Agreement states, "submitted budgets shall be deemed approved <br />by a Member City unless, prior to October 15 preceding the effective date of the <br />proposed budget, the Member City gives notice in writing to the Commission that it is <br />withdrawing from the Commission." <br /> <br />I want to thank the Commission directors, staff, and the Operations Committee for their efforts in <br />preparing these budgets. If you have any questions about either budget please consult with your <br />Commission director or City Administrator. <br /> <br />I look forward to working with all parties, throughout the remainder of 2005, toward reaching the <br />full potential of the Media Center and to increase both the quality and quantity of community <br />programming in 2006. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />) / /l /J \ <br />~~/1-~ <br /> <br />Richard Swanson <br />Chair, NMTC <br /> <br />Ene. <br /> <br />11 <br />
