arrangement was recently discussed publicly during a regular City Council meeting. The benefit of such a program is to afford residents of both central and southem Indian River County the opportunity to learn about various policy, project and program initiatives being directed in the City of Sebastian, as residents in our community have had a similar opportunity to leam and keep abreast of respective matters of other local govemments for quite sometime now, notably via area wide telecasts of Indian River County and the City of Vero Beach governing board sessions. In addition, since the City of Sebastian began directly administering its Channel 25 govemment station in March 2001, we have amicably allotted time to transmit information on behalf of the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners. Most recent examples in this regard include the Department of Utilities 2001 Annual Water Quality Report, as well as countywide benefits associated with the Discretionary Sales Tax Program. As you may recall, Sebastian Regular City Council meetings are held every second and forth Wednesday each month, beginning at 7:00 p.m. Meetings typically last anywhere between 2 to 3 hours long. Since last year, we have been able to offer both live broadcasts while simultaneously videotaping meetings for later repeat telecast. Our interest is to therefore transmit prerecorded meetings countywide, twice monthly to accommodate both aforementioned second and forth weekly sessions, absorbing not more than an average of sic hours of airtime per month. The C ty _f Sebast:an looks forward in receiving full cooperation and assistance regarding this matter. Should you have questions and/or require additional information, please feel free to contact me by calling (772) 388-8203.
