Report

Summary

This contract will provide highly technical, trained and skilled multi-robotics camera operator services for the robotic camera system located in the PHXTV studios, which provides live-broadcast capability for meetings in the City Council Chambers and City Hall Assembly Rooms, both on-air and online. The use of robotic cameras in the City Council Chambers and Assembly Rooms provides the City cost savings and staffing efficiencies, as fewer people are required to produce meeting coverage for broadcast.

 

Contract Term

Upon approval the contract will be extended through Sept. 30, 2024.
