AGENDA ITEMS
1. BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - POSITION DELETION/POSITION CREATIONS AND
WEBCASTING SYSTEM PROJECT
Mr. Ward presented the resolution to delete one (1) General Fund/General Purpose (GF/GP) Full -time
Eligible (FTE) Secretary - Board of Commissioners I position, to create one (1) GF/GP, FTE Board of
Commissioners Community Liaison position and decrease the classification from a Grade 11 to Grade 10,
to create one (1) GF/GP, Part-time Non-Eligible (PTNE), 1,000 hours per year College Intern position, and
to authorize the Video Camera, Production and Webcasting System Project in the amount of $44,796.
The Board of Commissioners (BOC) has webcasted its meetings since 2012 . In order to continue in the
most efficient and cost-effective way, the Technology Review Study Group , consisting of Commissioners
Spisz, Berman and McGillivray, has met on several occasions and approves of the proposed system. This
system will allow for long-term cost savings and for the BOC to be responsible for their own quality control.
There will be three cameras mounted in Committee Room A and three cameras in the auditorium with tilt
and pan capabilities, creating less disruption during meetings. The system will stream to YouTube Live and
provide closed captioning in order to be in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The
overall expenditure will not exceed $44,796, which includes contingency, installation, and IT support.
Implementing this system will avoid an approximate expenditure of $40,000 for a patch bay and truck pad
that would be required to be laid due to security enhancements . The capital expenditure will be paid from
the Board of Commissio ners Special Projects Fund.
The full-time Community Liaison position will include the support and operation of the cameras, editing of
the closed captioning as needed, and supporting the Senior Community Liaison. In addition, the college
intern will be made into a permanent position. C ost savings will be made available by the elimination of
ongoing costs of contracting with a private vendor for webcasting services.
Gershenson moved to recommend approval of the attached suggested resolution . Supported by
Hoffman.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote with Kowall and Woodward abs ent.
Hoffman moved to directly refer the resolution to the Human Resources, Planning & Building and
Finance Committees. Supported by Fleming .
Motion to refer carried on a voice vote.
COMMUNICATIONS
None.
