Board of Supervisors Tues Mtg 06-02-26 · Consideration of Annual PEG Presentation

The County of Lake Board of Supervisors held a meeting on June 2, 2026, which included the annual PEG TV presentation as part of their contractual obligations with the cities of Lakeport and Clearlake. The presentation detailed PEG TV's current fiscal year budget, highlighting a $25,000 increase in revenues due to expanded contracts with various local organizations. The operational budget is approximately $56,000, with stipends for key staff and contract services exceeding $30,000. The capital budget is funded by a 1% pass-through from Mediacom cable/internet bills, with plans for a $50,000 investment in new video equipment in partnership with the Zephyr Theatre, though most expenditures are expected in the following fiscal year. The board discussed the need to renegotiate contracts to reflect a new fee structure and salary schedule for PEG staff, which will affect future contract costs. No immediate contract awards or motions were made, but an amendment to increase contract fees will be brought back for board approval. The meeting also covered ongoing and future projects involving youth engagement, local event coverage, and potential grant funding to support PEG TV's operations and equipment purchases.
