SIGNED BOARD REPORTX��"*��Restricted Revenue Account 020-2883 to ITD BU 1930-8140 to finance Monterey County's

share of limited Government Television Channel activities and for projects supporting the

County fiber optic network I-NET). The County of Monterey share of costs for projects

supporting the government channel and for I-NET projects for 2009-10 is estimated not to

exceed $350,000. Operation activities include video recording of public meetings held in the

Board Chambers, production and editing of programs for the government channel, and support

for direct broadcast of the channel including hardware and software support and equipment

needs. Existing agreements with outside vendors resulted from an RFP process in 2007 for 3

years of support have cumulatively exceeded the Contracts / Purchasing Officer's authority.

Therefore, ITD requests that the Board of Supervisors authorize the Contracts / Purchasing

Officer to sign amendments to the existing agreements provided that no amendment exceeds

$100,000.00 for work done in fiscal year 2009 / 2010.

Financial support for PEG television facilities and programming is collected from cable

subscribers in unincorporated Monterey County. The County deposits PEG funds received from

its franchises into a restricted revenue account established for the purpose of supporting

Government Channel activities. On March 17, 2009; the Board of Supervisors adopted

Ordinance 5128 setting PEG fees for providers of digital video services under the State Digital

Infrastructure and Video Competition Act of 2006 DIVCA). Currently two providers Charter

Cable and AT&T) are providing services under state franchise as established by DIVCA while

Comcast continues to provide services under a local franchise. PEG fee payments from those

providers should continue to be deposited into a reserve fund for PEG activities.

It is requested that your Board approve the transfer of funds from the restricted revenue Cable

TV Funds Account to provide for the costs of government channel activities as those costs are

incurred. The actual transfer will not be performed until after the PEG costs are incurred to

ensure that PEG funds are applied to their designated purpose. Board approval in advance will

establish a PEG expenditure limit for the fiscal year and ensure that the General Fund is

reimbursed for PEG expenses from the PEG funds.

OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:

The County Administrative Office, Intergovernmental and Legislative Affairs Division will

oversee content, programming, and scheduling for the Monterey County Government Channel.

The ITD will oversee equipment purchase, technical specifications, and contract management.

The individual agreements for the specific programming and services to be funded have been

approved by County Counsel as to legal form and pending this Board action, will be submitted to

the County Contracts / Purchasing Officer for execution.

FINANCING:

Approval of recommended actions will have no impact on the General Fund. Monies collected

by cable television companies under state or county franchises for the purpose of PEG access are

deposited into a special revenue account for funding agreements for services. The FY 2009-10

operational costs are not estimated to deplete the Cable TV-PEG fund account, as the transferred

dollars will be replaced by quarterly payments from the cable television franchisees. The Cable

TV-PEG fund receives approximately $225,000 per year and the balance in the account as of

June 26, 2009, is approximately $1,538,000.
