We did the install on that. We pay the monthly access for the Verizon line. So that was around that whole package is around $30,000 last year in addition to that our build-out of the TV studio and all the other ancillary things that we've done in the past, maybe four five years has probably amounted to over 200,000. So we're happy to do that because we are getting and we were up from four and a half percent. I totally agree with you. It would be great if the schools could get more but we do have a lot of students that come down. We have five students that are going to be working with us this summer as interns. We had a senior intern we have two graduates from High who both work for Channel 5 who just both received Emmys and they still come down and help us out. So, you know mmtv station studio is available and frequently used by kids at the schools.","url":"https://vimeo.com/721275123#t=1352s","page_url":"/video/402"},{"person":"mcateer-margolis-mary-beth","date":"2022-06-16","video_id":402,"video_title":"Health, Education & Welfare, Protection and License & Appropriations and Oversight Committee Meetings June 16th 2022","meeting_id":4069,"start_sec":1441.65,"end_sec":1444.4,"similarity":0.648,"text":"They each have to provide five percent in the","url":"https://vimeo.com/721275123#t=1441s","page_url":"/video/402"},{"person":"mcateer-margolis-mary-beth","date":"2022-06-16","video_id":402,"video_title":"Health, Education & Welfare, Protection and License & Appropriations and Oversight Committee Meetings June 16th 2022","meeting_id":4069,"start_sec":1449.9,"end_sec":1467.1,"similarity":0.819,"text":"I'm not completely familiar with how the language is, but the way that it's set up is this the peg the public access station gets 80% and the schools get 20% after that big 5%","url":"https://vimeo.com/721275123#t=1449s","page_url":"/video/402"},{"person":"mcateer-margolis-mary-beth","date":"2022-06-16","video_id":402,"video_title":"Health, Education & Welfare, Protection and License & Appropriations and Oversight Committee Meetings June 16th 2022","meeting_id":4069,"start_sec":1470.38,"end_sec":1542.0,"similarity":0.703,"text":"a quick question. Just as you know, we we are the council or second Council to be more online than in person and which certainly led to a lot of information about how technology does or doesn't work for all of us. I understand there's some plans for upgrades to this space to allow us. Could you talk a little bit about that? And when that might come online given that we're well we are we are hoping we we do Kind of squirrel away some of our funds every year in anticipation of big major projects that wouldn't be covered under our annual budget and we hope to be able to do retrogrades to all of this this whole system at City Hall within the year probably to the tune of around 100,000. I think when your IT director speaks to the fiber optic grant that you're getting that will also help with linking all of the other Municipal all of the other municipal buildings together, but yes mmtv will bear the cost of the upgrade to this to this facility.
