and Web Streaming Services From July 1, 2017 Through June 30, 2018, in the
Amount of $135,000, With two One-year Options to Extend (for a Potential 3
Year Total not to Exceed Amount of $405,000)
From: City Manager
Lead Department: IT Department
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve, and authorize the City Manager or his
designee to execute:
Agreement No. C17168334 between the City of Palo Alto and the Midpeninsula Community
Media Center, Inc., for a one-year contract from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, in an
amount not to exceed $135,000, with two one-year options to extend (for a potential not
to exceed amount of $405,000 for a three-year term), for cablecasting and web streaming
services.
Background:
In 1983, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, East Palo Alto, Atherton and San Mateo and Santa Clara
Counties entered into a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) for the purposes of obtaining cable
television service for residents, businesses, and institutions within all or a portion of these
jurisdictions. The City of Palo Alto (City) has been given the sole authority to act on behalf of the
JPA member communities. Cable franchise holders provide various forms of compensation
(e.g., franchise fees; public, education, and government (PEG) fees and channels, etc.) to pay
for access to and use of the JPA’s public rights-of-way.
The City’s Cable Television Ordinance provides that the City may designate a nonprofit
Community Access Organization to operate and administer its PEG facilities, equipment and
channels. In 1991, the City Council designated the Mid-Peninsula Access Corporation (MPAC) as
its Community Access Organization. In 2000, as part of the sale of the Cable Co-op system to
City of Palo Alto Page 2
AT&T, a new nonprofit, the Silicon Valley Community Communications (SVCC) was formed.
AT&T made a charitable donation of $17 million to SVCC. In August 2001, MPAC merged with
SVCC and was renamed the Midpeninsula Community Media Center, Inc. (Media Center). Since
that time, the Media Center has served as the Community Access Organization for the JPA. In
this role, the Media Center administers the JPA’s seven local PEG channels, broadcasts local
community programs, offers video production classes and workshops to community members,
and provides local election coverage. In 2015, the Media Center produced a total of 647 local
programs and provided gavel-to-gavel coverage of 379 live government meetings. Palo Alto
forwards the PEG fees it receives from franchise holders (Comcast and AT&T) to the Media
Center (amounting to $329,813 in 2016) for capital expenditures to support PEG access.
The AT&T donation was used by the Media Center to purchase a state-of-the-art facility (studio,
video production and training facility) located at 900 San Antonio Road in Palo Alto. The
donation monies are also used, on an ongoing basis, to fund a portion of the Media Center’s
annual operating expenditures. Since the Media Center owns its video production facility and
has ongoing income from the AT&T donation to supplement its operating expenditures, there is
a significant barrier to entry for any other provider of this service. Bringing in a new provider
would require an extensive and complex implementation process involving the City’s IT
department, the City’s cable carrier and the new service provider. This cost has already been
spent and the required infrastructure is already in place for the Media Center. As such, the
solicitation of bids for this agreement would be impracticable in accordance with PAMC Section
2.30.360(b)(2).
In May 2016, following the review of the Cable Franchise and PEG Fee Audit, the Policy &
Services Committee directed staff to work with the Media Center to ensure the PEG fee
program complies with federal Cable Act provisions that the restricts use of these fees to
capital expenditures. The City is currently exploring a proposal with the Media Center that
involves using PEG fees to purchase the Media Center’s facility. Staff plans to update the
Council on its work with the Media Center in 2017.
Discussion:
Staff requests that Council approve a one-year agreement, with two one-year options to
extend, between the City and the Media Center, in an amount not to exceed $135,000 annually,
starting on July 1, 2017. This agreement funds: 1) cablecasting of Palo Alto City Council, Council
Committee and Board and Commission meetings; 2) cablecasting of the Mayor’s State of the
City address; 3) cablecasting of the annual City Council retreat; 4) cablecasting of Palo Alto
special events, programs and activities; 5) I-Net operational support services; and 6) web
indexing and archiving services. The Media Center will bill for these services monthly based
upon the standard rates established in the Community Access Organization agreement with the
JPA.
The attached contract includes enhanced provisions relating to web streaming services,
including service standards for maintaining public access to meetings archived on the web, and
City of Palo Alto Page 3
commitments to return the complete archive to the City on termination or expiration of the
agreement.
Resource Impact:
Funds for this agreement are included in the Information Technology Department’s Fiscal Year
Proposed Budget, which is subject to City Council adoption in June 2017. These expenditures
are offset by franchise fee revenue received from Comcast and AT&T. Franchise fee revenue
totaled $939,107 in 2016.

CONSUMER DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Palo Alto (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to
you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for
providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through your DocuSign, Inc.
(DocuSign) Express user account. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly,
and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms
and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the 'I agree' button at the bottom of
this document.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. For such copies, as long as you are an authorized user of the
DocuSign system you will have the ability to download and print any documents we send to you
through your DocuSign user account for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such
documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of
any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may
request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign 'Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of your
DocuSign account. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive
required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use your
DocuSign Express user account to receive required notices and consents electronically from us
or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through your DocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or
made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of
you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
electronically from us.
