DESCRIPTION Staff has been contacted by Darla Stevens of Community
Television regarding the development of a new community television program
entitled "City Hall Summaries" . Darla is interested in presenting a
one-half hour program each month which gives an overview of those items
which the City deals with on a monthly basis . Those cities which would be
included in each program, should they elect to participate, are Dublin,
Livermore, Pleasanton and San Ramon. Each City would be responsible for a
6-7 minute presentation.
Darla has requested that the City indicate whether it wishes to participate
and if so, prepare a schedule of participants for the next few months .
It appears that this would be an excellent forum to increase community
awareness of City issues , services, etc .

I'emo: "City Hall Summaries" (t,;orking Title)
To: Valley city mayors, councilnembers, city managers
From: Community Television
This is to follow up the conversation begun with (some of) you
regarding the new Community Television production, " City Hall Summaries",
designed to give city councils, mayors, and city managers of all valley
cities a regular time to state information to the community, over television.
':'e have h-2d inquiries over the past six years, from time to time, as to
whether or not we will cover city council meetings. We are ready, tilling,
and able to cover our city council meetings; however, until such an
invitation is issued to us by the city councils and/or community interest
is demonstrated, we would like to serve the viewers and the cities by
producing "City Hall Summaries".
!'he program would be a monthly half-hour program, seen the first Thursday evening
of each month so that it would be a summary of. the preceding month' s council
meetings, and a projection of the coming meetings.
Your portion would consist of 6-7 minutes, during which we would try to get
an overvie?:� of the decisions and issues being processed, in Layman' s terms.
The information could be presented by the city manager, a city councilperson,
or the mayor -- as selected each month by your city. Our Community Television
cre-i 1,oul.d come to the city offices on a specified time and dry -- preferably
the last Thursday in each month. The goal is to bring to viewers a summary
and projection regarding city council activity, presented conversationally.
:e a: jited the outcome of the Sari Ramon incorporation since the ccblecast
area extends to Crow Canyon. ';V'e'll begin production this month gathering
"visuals"for the opening and close of the program. The specific format. --
presenting all. valley cities within one half-hour program, each city having
F-7 minutes of presentation -- was the concept of Sheila Tole, who will.
irecuently be the interviewer helping you to present your information.
Please call me if you have questions or comments; 4.62-3373. ',-:e A-11 be
calling to set up the first interview, which we Yrou.ld like to do if possible
on the last Thursday of this month. The first program should air on
:.Uri' 7 at 8:00, cable chan,;el 30.
','e are looking forward to serving, you with " City Hall Summaries".
Sincerely,
Darla Stevens
