Amendment to
contract…
*Following seven years as Host of Cathedral City’s Discover Cathedral City Television (CCTV), Conrad Angel Corral and the City’s Communication / Special Events Managers have produced over 62 CCTV segments. Utilizing Public, Education and Government (PEG) Access Channel funds, the City’s visibility and social media presence has flourished. *As the City grows, the need for more CCTV segments has increased. *Within Conrad’s numerous community endeavors, he has partnered with local production company (CV Productions), which to date has produced over 200 social media segments and provided related services to desert agencies. With the support of the Communication / Special Events Manager, Conrad is asking to amend his existing Contract for Services to include videography, producing, writing and editing of CCTV New Business, Government Programming and Special Events segments. *Programming direction and final approval will continue to be under the leadership of the City’s Communication / Events Manager. *This new collaboration will increase CCTV production and foster opportunities for new segment development. Together, CCTV will continue to promote the City as a premier destination for living, working and visiting.

Utilizing PEG Funds, amend Conrad’s yearly CCTV Contract for Services to include the services of CV Productions and partner Alan Kraemer.
Contract may be extended yearly and/or terminate at the City’s discretion, and returned to the original contract.
CV Productions will: 1) reduce city staff commitment
(approximately four - five hours per segment), 2) increase CCTV development (from one to two segments every three months to one to two per month), and 3) abridge segments for enhanced social media appeal.
Per segment cost: $900. Estimated annual budget: $21,600.
Current yearly budget for this program: $6,000, which has never been fully realized.
CV Productions will utilize their own equipment, with access to city production equipment as needed. Stipend to cover: City collaboration, hosting, script writing, VO, videography, editing, producing, final product and incidentals.
Conrad/CV Productions services will be available to the City, where needed, and on an as-needed basis.
