the City's Cable Communication Office's professional staff and is provided from the City's cable

regulations and can only be used for capital expenses associated with the City's PEG programming
facilities.
Adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance will allow the Cable Communication Office to cover the
minor capital costs associated with the City's PEG programming facilities that are anticipated to occur
during the remainder of the current fiscal year. The City's purchasing policy will continue to be followed
and any costs in excess of $3,000.00 will be sent through the Purchasing Division for competitive bidding.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations
and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current capital budget,
as appropriated, of the Special Trust Fund.
