1 Proposal: Project Manager - L28 Team
Executive Summary
Background
The L28 Team has made progress in le aps and bounds over the last six months and has built up a lot of momentum in terms of establishing a conventional format for each episode that L28 produces, as well as a production schedule that has allowed for dozens of stories to be produced and filmed. Though I am proud that L28 is now broadcasting episodes that promote the highlights of our City for all to see, there are improvements to be made by leveraging our available talents and assigning roles for team members based on their strengths and weaknesses, as well as maintaining a high level of consistency in the quality of written stories and performance on-screen.
On occasion, the levels of entertainment and professionalism vary across the stories produced by L28. Since we are so early in the process of rebranding via social media and discovering "our voice" as a local public broadcast station, it is imperative that the stories broadcasted by the L28 Team be relevant, entertaining, enriching, and local. Just as important, is the need for the content to be well- researched, informative, and compelling. The episodes shared via channel 28 and on the City of Lancaster’s YouTube Channel present an exciting opportunity to promote the City to both existing and potential business partners, current employees, and residents and visitors of the community. We need to maximize the utility of this platform to promote the City of Lancaster both internally and externally, and to highlight the best that the City has to offer. Under the supervision and direction of the Project Manager, L28 will produce positive stories that both encourage and uplift the community, while successfully executing the vision of the City Manager’s Office and the Communications Department.
The Communications Dept. regularly have their hands full and are preoccupied with other pertinent tasks at City Hall. The distance and lack of proximity to the L28 team during stages of pre- production, production, and post-production of the L28 episodes, makes it difficult for City Management to convey their revisions, suggested edits and apply direction to the team. This often results in the misinterpretation or misunderstanding of City Management’s notes and directions by the L28 team, which results in bottlenecks and delays to the production calendar for L28 episodes.
Furthermore, it is necessary for the L28 team to be assigned roles based on their individual strengths, natural talents, and other criteria. Being able to identify and communicate these roles in person will improve the shortcomings of our team and help to eliminate inconsistencies in quality of reporting, writing, and on-camera presence. Identifying the team's strengths improves the overall production value of the content produced.
Overview
I am proposing the creation of a Project Manager position to be directly responsible for overseeing the team to produce the best content possible. This position will allow for around-t he-clock
EXHIBIT A
oversight of the content being produced by the L28 team, and to ensure that the standards of story writing, videography, and on-camera presence meet the expectations of City Leadership, the City Manager's Office, and Communications Department. The Project Manager will act as an on-site producer and manager on shoot dates of L28 episodes, in-studio and "out in the field" interviews and 2 event coverage. The established presence and proximity will allow the project manager to identify and address errors, complications, and miscommunication as it is presented. The Project Manager will improve the flow of communication from the City Manager’s Office and the Communication Dept. to the L28 Team, eliminating bottlenecks and delays due to misinterpretation or misunderstandings of directions, delayed responses, or limited oversight, while lightening the workload of leadership at City Hall.
I have been with the City of Lancaster as a Project Assistant sinc e September 2021, during which
time I applied my skill sets towards the pro duction of video & photo assets for the City of Lancaster's marketing and community outreach purposes, and most recently for our L28 News Channel. I've coordinated with management in the Communications Dept. to provide coverage of the City's many events across its social media channels, as well as L28. Aside from my work with the City, I have over 7 years work experience in all aspects of video production including but not limited to; scriptwriting, camera-operating, and post production editing. In my time with the City of Lancaster, I’ve had the great opportunity to connect and build a strong rapport with my colleagues and managers. My work experience, along with the relationships I’ve built with Community leaders, make me the best fit candidate to build on the progress we have made thus far, and leverage the resources available to us to deliver better content for our City and community. I’ve learned and grown so much since my start with the City, and I am prepared to expand my role as the Project Manager of the L28 team to better amplify the signal of our City’s brand, image, and culture, and act as an administrator of the City's goals and expectations.
Scope and Strategy
Objectives
As Project Manager, I plan to communicate the best that the City ha s to offer through the content that we create. It is my goal to increase the performance and productivity of the City of Lancaster’s L28 project by coordinating call-times, managing production schedules, and coordinating coverage of events while meeting weekly deadlines accordingly. It is my mission to inform the public in an engaging and uplifting manner, while promoting Lancaster’s values to the community at large, including our business partners, residents, and employees. To capitalize on the momentum and progress L28 h
as made, and further refine the production of media for the City of Lancaster, I have identified the followi
ng three immediate objectives for this project:
1. To maximize productivity and eliminate preventable bottlenecks in production by:
• Promptly issuing notes, revisions and feedback on stories, scripts, and footage • Utilizing experience as a producer to stay on top of production schedules, the City's calendar, and
assist in coordinating the team
• Being present in team meetings, in-studio shoots, and both in-studio and field interviews • Discussing overall vision and expected outcome of each interview, story, episode etc. • Utilizing strong communication skills to delegate roles, proofread scripts and interview questions
2. Assigning roles based on an individuals’ strengths, skills, and abilities-- to improve professionalism and performance by:
3 • Working closely with Comm. Dept. and CMO to identify areas of improvement • Implementing workshops focused on “hard skills” and “soft skills” and team building exercises to build cohesion and improve production process • Evaluating the team on an individual level using tools like personality tests (Myers Briggs, 16Personalities, etc.)
• Reinforcing effectiveness of workshops through literary analysis of related readings, visual aids, and presentations
• Leveraging team’s abilities and skillsets and assign roles and responsibilities accordingly
3. Delivering positive, well-researched, and relevant episodes every week by:
• Effectively assigning stories to writers, scheduling events for reporters, and call-times for the production team
• Acting as editor for stories, providing feedback and fact checking claims in a timely manner • Strictl
y abiding to production schedule, while actively searching for adjustments and improvements to be made
• Providing notes, revisions, and suggested edits on first cut of video within 24 hours • Being an integral part of the team, i.e. continui ng to contribute high quality content in the form of photos, videos, interviews, and reporting when needed.
Alignment with Strategic Goals
To actively improve the caliber of L28’s story writing and reporting, as well as the team’s on-screen presence, I plan to implement regular skills training workshops. These workshops will be supplemented by visual aids and presentations along with excerpts from assigned reading to reinforce understanding of concepts, techniques, and principles. The workshops will be centered around both hard skills and soft skills. Examples of these skills workshops and concepts that will be highlighted include:
Hard skills:
o Videography: Mise en scène, adjusting settings and navigating menus to get the most aesthetic possible
o Photography: Framing, rule of thirds, exposure settings, and depth of field o Writing: fundamentals of story writing, addressing the 5 w’s for relevance and proximity. How to communicate concisely without “filler” o Research: The importance of research, citing evidence and understanding the three- part structure of argument. (claim, evidence, and warrant) o Teleprompter ability
Soft skills:
o Nonverbal communication: The importance of posture, body language, rate, pitch volume, and tone of voice.
o Confidence: How to build and maintain a positive attitude and self-image o Professionalism: The importance of being a team player, communication, operating under deadlines, and conflict resolution

Terms
This proposal is for a (12) month agreement as a contracted Project Manager for the City of Lancaster’s L28 News. I am requesting funding for my annual salary in the amount of $135,000. The requested funding was determined in consideration of the management role and responsibilities of this position, the projected maintenance, replacement, and depreciation costs of video production equipment and software that are necessary for the job, and to offset the cost of living, health insurance, and other benefits that are not being offered to me as a contractor. 6 Conclusion
I am excited for the opportunity to be a Project Manager for L28’s several productions and work hard to ensure that the standards of reporting, videography, and the team’s on-screen presence are e
levated to meet the expectations of the City Manager's Office and Communications Department. I am confident in my experience and abilities to maximize productivity and eliminate preventable bottlenecks in production. I will work to maximize the potential of L28’s impact and influence which can only be made possible through team work, commitment, and planning. I will work to ensure that the content produced and broadcasted by L28, and the City of Lancaster, is relevant, entertaining, and enriching.
And equally as important, well-researched, informative, and compelling for the betterment of our community, business partners and beyond.

1 I. The coverage we provide your business under this policy:
This policy only covers your business for loss caused by occurrences during the policy period. An “occurrence” means an accident, including continuous or repeated exposure to substantially the same general harmful conditions that begin during the policy period. “Occurrence” also includes an error or omission by your business. Should any part of this policy, on its effective date, conflict with the laws of the state where your business is based, then that part of this policy will be automatically amended to meet the minimum requirements of those laws.
For your business’ property: We cover your business for theft of and physical damage to property your business owns or leases. As a direct result of a property loss we pay, your business may have increased operating expenses or lose net income. After the Waiting Period on the Summary, we will cover these amounts as Business Interruption until your business resumes normal operations (or until either Business Interruption limit on the Summary is reached). “Net income” means (i) net profit or loss before income taxes and (ii) continuing normal operating expenses, including payroll.
Unauthorized modification of electronic data is physical damage to property.
For your business’ liability to others: We cover your business for amounts it is legally required to pay others as the result of an occurrence. We will provide legal counsel to defend any such claims.
Employees of your business acting on its behalf and Additional Insureds working with your business are also covered the same way your business would be. Additional Insured automatically includes any required Additional Insured in a contract made before starting work.
We also cover (i) claims of negligence, errors, or omissions in providing professional services, and (ii) claims against directors or officers of your business arising from their actions taken on behalf of your business. For these kinds of claims, if your business first learns about the claim during this policy, and previously had continuous insurance coverage that would have covered the claim, we will cover that claim even though it is not the result of an occurrence during this policy.
For Auto: We cover damage to or accidents involving vehicles on the Summary the same way we cover property and liability claims, but with the Auto limits listed on the Summary.
For Cyber: We provide your business with crisis management, data and system review and recovery services, breach notification, and credit monitoring, following a data breach or computer system hack.
Workers’ compensation insurance: Every state has workers’ compensation laws that provide benefits for injured employees. We cover your business for and will promptly pay amounts required by state workers’ compensation law. We will pay all installments of the compensation that may be awarded or agreed upon in connection with those injuries.
II. If something goes wrong:
If your business has a property loss from an occurrence, we will pay to repair the damaged property if possible, or replace it with something of similar capabilities. We only pay for buildings or vehicles that are on the Summary, up to the Limit for each. For all other property (other than a building or a vehicle) that is damaged by an occurrence, we will pay up to the amount listed for Other Property on the Summary.
We will also pay necessary costs to keep your business going or to minimize the time it is out of business after a loss that we cover. We will pay these expenses until listed vehicles are repaired or
