The Cities of Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton, and San Ramon formed Tri-
Valley Community Television Corporation, as a non-profit entity to oversee
community access programming. The programming appears on Channel 30 and a
majority of the funding has been provided by the member agencies. Each
City has 2 appointments to the Board of Directors. Currently, ,the City of
Dublin's second appointment is held by Councilmember Howard. In addition,
the Board of Directors appoints three at-large positions. Recently, one of
those positions was filled by the Board's appointment of Radi Sodhi, a
Dublin resident and employee of Pacific Bell.
Staff has contacted Dublin residents who have indicated an interest in the
recent at-large position, as well as an individual suggested by Ms.
McCormick. These individuals were invited to submit a letter of interest
to the City Council. Staff also solicited letters of interest from
residents through the issuance of a press release which appeared in local
newspapers' and was posted in the community. At the time of preparation of
the Staff report, no letters of interest had been received from Dublin
residents.
Staff would recommend that Staff be directed to initiate additional
advertising regarding the vacancy. Staff would also recommend that the
City Council appoint a subcommittee to interview any interested applicants.
The subcommittee would make a recommendation to the City Council on the
final appointment at a future meeting.
