REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BRYON HORN, Chief Information Officer
Information Services Department
SUBJECT
Title
Approve the Second Amendment to the Agreement between the City of Fresno and Community Media Access Collaborative (CMAC) to increase the per person per hour production rate to $85.00 per hour.
Body
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends City Council approve the Second Amendment to Services Agreement (Amendment) to increase the per person per production hour rate to $85.00 an hour and authorize the Chief Information Officer, or designee, to execute all related documents.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
CMAC has provided video services for the City of Fresno (City) since 2010. In that time, video hours have increased, but the rate has remained at $50 per person per production hour. This Amendment will increase CMAC's per person per hour rate to $85.00, which is the rate other organizations are currently paying. Given inflation, the rising costs of doing business, and no rate increase for the past nine years, City desires to increase CMAC's rate to the industry standard. In fiscal year 2023, the City spent $20,942.50 on CMAC services. We anticipate that the rate increase will result in additional costs of $14,659 which will revise our annual estimated payments to be approximately $35,602 for fiscal year 2024.
BACKGROUND
