Authorize the Finance and Management Services Agency to donate six surplus televisions to

DISCUSSION
In 2006, the City entered into a three year agreement with CCN USA for a community video
network marketing program at ten locations. The screens were located at the following locations
within the City.
1 Bowers Museum 6 Knowlwoods Restaurant
2 City Hall 7 McDonalds (Edinger/Raitt)
3 Coastal Communities Hospital 8 Santa Ana College Bookstore
4 Crevier BMW 9 Regional Transportation Center
5 Southwest Senior Center 10 Western Medical Center
The program has since ended, at the TV's are now the property of the City. Three TV's remain at
City facilities, and the TV from the McDonald's location has been returned to the City. In order to
minimize expenses and staff time, staff recommends donating the remaining six screens to Bowers
Museum, Coastal Communities Hospital, Crevier BMW, Knowlwoods, Santa Ana College, and
Western Medical Center. This will save on a contract expenses to remove the TV's, brackets,
cabling, patch walls, texture match, and paint.
The going rate for a used 50" flat screen TV with 2006 technology is approximately $300. The cost
to remove the screen will be approximately $250 - $350, including contractor time to remove the
TV and bracket, patch, texture match, and paint. This does not include the staff time needed to
coordinate one or two job walks to the six locations. The businesses accepting the TV's will be
fully responsible for maintenance and all other operational issues once they take ownership.
