CONSIDER APPROVAL FOR BOTH A WRITTEN AND TAPED
TRANSCRIPTION OF THAT PORTION OF THE JANUARY 17, 1995
MINUTES PERTAINING TO THE PRINDLE REQUEST FOR A
FEASIBILITY STUDY.
FEBRUARY 6, 1995
In accordance' with the Council Bylaws, all requests for verbatim
transcription of Council meeting minutes must be approved by the City
Council.
Attached is a letter from William Prindle requesting a complete audio tape
and a verbatim transcript of the official minutes from the January 17, 1995
Council meeting.
Mr. Prindle has stated that he will pay the costs. The Council should
determine a fee for both the verbatim transcript and the audio taping. The
verbatim transcript is expected to take from one to four hours, however, it
could be longer depending on the speed of the person who will be doing
the typing and the quality of the tape. The audio taping will take
approximately 1 hour of staff time plus the cost of the cassette.
We intend to have a person from a temporary agency do the transcription.
Our cost is based on $15.00 per hour plus an additional $15.00 to cover
billing, mailing and other costs. The cost of recording the meeting will be
$25.00 (1 hr. x $16.42 per hr x 1.5 to cover benefits and other expenses).
