Authorization
REQUEST:
City Manager requesting the City Commission consider a request from
WMFE for financial support.
PURPOSE:
This agenda item is needed for the City Commission to consider a request from
WMFE for financial support of$5,000 per year for a 3-year period.
CONSIDERATIONS:
The local public broadcasting station, WMFE, has made a formal request of the City
Commission to provide multi-year funding for WMFE. This funding will be utilized to support
additional capacity WMFE needs in order to create specific local programming. Examples and
descriptions of the programming to be created are included in WMFE's proposal, previously
transmitted to the Commission by WMFE.
The funding request is for $5,000 per year for a 3-year period, commencing in the spring of 2007
(FY 07). Per WMFE, since the first phase of funding will not be needed until the spring of2007,
the actual amount requested from the City for FY 07 will be $2,500 (i.e., half of the first year's
request of$5,000).
WMFE is seeking proportional funding from other local governments in Orange, Seminole and
Osceola Counties. Local government funding will represent less than 25% of total funding for
their campaign.
FUNDING:
Funding is not currently programmed into the City's FY 07 Budget. If approved, funding of
$2,500 for FY 07, $5,000 for FY 08, $5,000 for FY 09, and $2,500 for FY 10 would need to be
budgeted.
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Manager recommends the City Commission take action as deemed appropriate.
ATTACHMENTS:
The City Commission previously received a packet from WMFE regarding this request.
