Approve contract with KVAK Radio for broadcasting of city meetings to include work sessions and special meetings.
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The city has maintained a contract with KVAK Radio to broadcast regular city council
meetings since 2002. Special meetings and work sessions are broadcast only upon request by the City and must be arranged in advance. KVAK streams the council meeting broadcast over the internet from their website at no additional charge. Advertising the agenda content and council meeting date and time is also provided free of charge.
KVAK has requested an amendment to the contract for 2017 which would apply an additional charge of $75.00 for a meeting exceeding three hours (not including a work session prior to a meeting). KVAK must provide a staff person for the radio station during the broadcast and is asking for additional compensation for meetings which extend past 10pm.
