CONSENT CALENDAR
DATE: August 23, 1994
SUBJECT: KBET Generator
DEPARTMENT: Parks, Recreation and Community Services
BACKGROUND
Following the January 17, 1994 Northridge earthquake, KBET radio station was designated the
"Official Emergency Broadcast Station for the City of Santa Clarita." Due to a power failure,
KBET was unable to broadcast for 40 hours following the earthquake.
After hearing of the outstanding service KBET had provided to the community following the
disaster from their employees, a private company announced it would donate one generator to
the City of Santa Clarita to be used specifically by KBET. In the event KBET no longer wishes
to use the generator, it will be returned to the City. The City will then assume all maintenance
and liability of the generator.
RECOMMENDATION
City Council to direct staff to accept contract for use of one generator from a donor wishing to
remain anonymous.
