� <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br /> FROM: JESSICA LOF'TUS, CITY ADMINISTRATOR <br /> SUBJECT: VIDEOTAPING PLANNING COMMISSION MEETINGS <br /> DATE: JANUARY 26, 2015 <br /> Councilmember Walsh requested an opportunity to discuss whether the City should <br /> videotape the Planning Commission meetings. <br /> Below is some background information that might be helpful during the discussion: <br /> • The camera operator (Daphne) charges $80 per meeting. <br /> • The cameras and recording software are "sunk costs" that are paid whether we <br /> videotape the Planning Commission meetings or not. <br /> • We do not know if Daphne is available to tape the meetings or if we'd need to <br /> recruit someone. <br /> • The cable fund could support recording their 11 meetings for a total cost of <br /> $880 if the Council so chooses. <br /> • There is some additional staff time getting the video edited and posted but we <br /> have the capacity to do so. <br /> • Attached are the latest viewer statistics from our Granicus software to give you <br /> an idea of how many residents are utilizing on-demand video service. <br />
