RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and
Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement with Communications Support
Group to provide cable television franchise consulting services for a one-
year period in an amount not to exceed $80,370.
DISCUSSION
For the past sixteen years, the City of Santa Ana has contracted with
Communications Support Group for cable television franchise consulting
services. Communication Support Group has agreed to an additional one-year
term with no price increase. Communications Support Group will continue to
provide its standard scope of services, including technical support to
cable programming, customer service, and franchise compliance and
administration. In addition, a comprehensive technical performance test of
the I-Net and subscriber cable systems is performed on an annual basis, and
an annual cable regulatory report is prepared documenting overall cable
company activity and performance.
Communications Support Group will continue to maintain the community
bulletin board and develop a transition plan to continue programming
services on Channel 3. The consultant will also coordinate the upgrade of
the City Council Chamber audio/visual equipment. The Parks, Recreation and
Community Services Agency is satisfied with the quality of services that
Community Support Group has provided and recommends approval of the
recommended action.
