A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING COUNCIL
POLICY FOR CABLE BROADCAST OF
PUBLIC MEETINGS.
WHEREAS, the City Council requested that the Budget and Finance Committee of
the Council review a policy for the broadcast of public meetings on cable television; and
WHEREAS, the Budget and Finance Committee has reviewed the proposed policy
and is recommending its adoption; and
WHEREAS, a resolution of the City Council is necessary to adopt Council policy for
the broadcast of public meetings;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED as follows:
1. All the foregoing recitals are true and correct.
2. Requests to schedule a meeting for broadcast should be submitted at least one
week prior to broadcast date.
3. Parties requesting use of video or computer equipment must provide that
material to the City at least 3 days prior to the meeting.
4. Because of limited broadcast slots available on KGOV for "special" meetings,
City-sponsored meetings would have priority over those requested by other governmental
agencies or organizations.
5. Because of limited broadcast slots available on KGOV, there would be no
guarantee of live broadcast. Re-broadcast of "special" meetings would be scheduled in
order of request.
6. Because there are considerable costs associated with televised meetings, a cost
recovery charge would be created and assessed to agencies or groups other than the City
of Bakersfield. Costs include staff time for Telecommunications, Clerk, Management
Information Systems, and Police Department, including overtime.
7. Regular and special meetings of the City Council, Planning Commission, Board
of Zoning Adjustment, and Redevelopment Agency would take priority over other "special"
meetings requested to be broadcast in the Council Chambers.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing Resolution was passed and adopted
by the Council of the City of Bakersfield at a regular meeting thereof held on AUG 2
