Board reviews $16,500 estimate to have ECTV record and produce multi‑camera board meeting videos
Summary
Staff presented two options for ECTV recording—live multi‑camera production with district audio provided or ECTV recording with file delivery—at an estimated $16,500 annual ballpark for two meetings a month; additional charges possible for meetings over 90 minutes and for audio production by ECTV.
District staff presented a cost estimate for contracting ECTV to record board meetings and produce a multi‑camera video feed. The ballpark figure presented to the board was $16,500, based on two meetings per month with a 90‑minute run time per meeting. Staff said meetings that exceed 90 minutes could incur additional charges.
Staff explained two options: (1) ECTV performs video production while district IT provides and controls audio for live streaming, or (2) ECTV records and sends a finished file to the district for upload to the district YouTube channel. Staff said the second option would eliminate live streaming on the district YouTube channel but could simplify production and upload.
The cost estimate did not include ECTV‑provided audio; additional audio services were available for an added fee. The board requested the information be included in the Friday packet for further consideration and indicated they would take a consensus at a future meeting if they wished to proceed.
