<br />May 17,2001 <br />Communications Ad Hoc Committee Meeting Minutes <br />items were be more visible to the viewer. Discussion ensued in regards to the placement <br />of same and the understanding of the optimum camera angle. Mr. Klang suggested <br />placement on an alternative walL Ms. Amson suggested that if the City desired to cable <br />cast large amounts smaller items, a piece of equipment called an Elmo could be <br />considered. Chair Brenner questioned whether this was being utilized by the City of <br />Blaine. Ms. Amson stated that the City of Blaine was utilizing a camera stationed on the <br />ceiling. Ms. Amson stated that the City of Spring Lake Park is utilizing an Elmo and <br />described same. Mr. Klang questioned an estimated purchase price of same. Ms. Amson <br />stated that she would forward same to the Committee. Mr. Klang stated that the <br />information would be useful for future consideration; however, he felt that the correct <br />positioning of the plans, sketches or diagrams could correct the current problem. <br /> <br />Chair Brenner stated that just recently, staff was replaying Council meetings on a daily <br />basis and does the City have the capability to program same during the evening and <br />weekends. Mr. Klang stated that when he video tapes/cable casts the Council meetings <br />he must manually switch from the Scala systems to cable casting. Ms. Amson suggested <br />the purchase of a Leightonix Switcher which will remotely operate numerous playback <br />VCRs and respective timing software. Ms. Amson stated that the Cities of Blaine and <br />Lexington. Ms. Amson stated that she would also forward this information to the <br />Committee. <br /> <br />Ms. Amson also suggested that a free-lance consultant, who has been used by other <br />cities, could be utilized to design Council Chambers to its ultimate cable casting <br />arrangements. <br /> <br />Chair Brenner questioned whether the Committee desired to recommend any summer <br />events so the opportunities would not be missed. Chair Brenner questioned whether Mr. <br />Klang or classmates desired to become involved in same. Mr. Klang stated that <br />dependent upon scheduling, the possibility could be viable. Chair Brenner stated that the <br />Committee needed to research these possibilities and discuss same at their next meeting. <br />Ms. Amson questioned whether the City had staff that is in charge of assembling and <br />distributing upcoming events or press releases. Committee Member Fairbrother stated <br />that he felt that this was one (1) of the areas where communications is lacking due to the <br />fact that each Committee/Commission is doing their own thing. Ms. Amson eXplained <br />the reasoning behind her addressing this issue was because NMTC is also looking for <br />events to cover for news stories. Chair Brenner stated that NMTC should be contacted <br />first and coordinate scheduling of taping ofthe event(s). The program could be played on <br />Channel 15 and a duplicate tape could be provided to the City for playback on Channel <br />16. Mr. Klang stated that Centennial High School offers numerous incentives for <br />students for involvement in video production outside of the day-to-day school curriculum <br />and that NMTC has contacted them on many occasions. Mr. Klang stated that Mr. Peter <br />Crawford was Centennial High School's video production instructor. Consensus was that <br />the more video production coverage of school activities the more viewers there would be. <br />Mr. Tronson stated that typically, events such as Fete des Lacs, NMTC would compile <br />enough background and events to encompass an entire show. <br /> <br />Mr. Klang stated that what the City needed was to first have someone look over the <br />City's existing equipment to determine is current capabilities. Committee Member <br />Fairbrother questioned whether this was something the NMTC could provide. Ms. <br />Amson concurred. <br /> <br />Page 3 00 <br />
