The City of Warren Communications Department has alwaysfostered a vision to reach out to all Macomb County communities to enrich television (pre-production, production and post-production) planning and production.The primary benefit of this proposal is to enrich all the communities choosing to partner with this service during difficult economic times where individual community PEG services may be diminished. By combining efforts, the City of Warren Communications Department's advanced technological infrastructure can remain intact to continue to serve its own community, while using economies of scale to benefit communities with fewer resources.These combined resources will further support the replacement andmaintenance of equipment and facilities in keeping with TV Warren's history of excellent programming to its residents. This goal can be maintained by the potential client community contributing to multi-media services (television facilities, mobile production truck rental, etc.) with their franchise fee dollars, without having to bear the cost of maintaining these assets themselves.BARRIERS TO COLLABORATION:- Funding and legal considerations for operating within a Special Revenue Fund.- Establishment and consideration of Franchise Fees,- Technology upgrades.
