The work session opened at approximately 5:30 p.m. Council Member Molloy reported
he had provided a copy of his report (included in the packet) to several members of the
public and received some positive comments.
Mr. Krusen reviewed the report included in the packet and a summary sheet provided
as a lay down to the discussion, noting recommendations and approximated costs of
options/supplemental options. They were noted as:
• Delayed cable television (council approved investigating the concept,
working with Kenai Central High School for taping).
• Online archival (planned with 2006 purchase of software/computer, etc.
with possible costs for internet/website hosting)
• Live webcast (Krusen/Molloy -- recommended supplemental option with
purchase of additional software and cost for internet/ web site hosting).
• Radio (Krusen/Molloy -- not recommended due to costs involved).
• Live Cable TV (Krusen/Molloy -- not recommended due to costs involved).
• Live Network Camera (Krusen/Molloy -- recommended alternative
supplemental option).
A brief question and answer period took place. It was noted, the 2006 purchased
software would allow digital recordings of council meetings and would also allow those
recordings to be uploaded to the city's webpage. Additionally, council included $1,500
in the Clerk budget for purchase of additional software to incorporate live webeasting
to the city webpage if council chooses to incorporate that function (with extra costs for
internet and website hosting).
The work session ended at 6:25 p.m.
