For the past seventeen years, the City of Santa Ana has contracted with
Communications Support Group for cable television franchise consulting
services. 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, the annual comprehensive technical FCC performance test of the
subscriber cable systems will be performed and the annual cable regulatory
report will be prepared documenting overall cable company activity and
performance.
Communications Support Group will continue to maintain the community
bulletin board and monitor the transition plan to continue programming
services on Channel 3. The consultant will continue the coordination of the
upgrade to 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
