AGENDA REPORT
City Manager Approval:
Item to be presented by: Michael Haviland /
DATE: September 25, 2001
SUBJECT: TRANSFER OF FILM OFFICE FUNCTION TO THE CITY OF SANTA
CLARITA
DEPARTMENT: City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council accept the transfer of the film function from the Chamber of Commerce to the City
of Santa Clarita, approve an additional Administrative Analyst position to be assigned to the City
Manager's Office for the purpose of film office functions, approve a transfer from Council
Contingency account number 1240-7401 in the amount of $46,230, appropriate as outlined in
Attachment A, and direct staff to expand film permitting.
BACKGROUND
The City has contracted out film promotion services (film bureau) to the Chamber of Commerce
for over ten years.
On September 11, 2001, members of the film bureau requested the City Council consider the
notion of transferring the film functions from the Chamber to the City. City Council directed staff
to analyze this proposal. Staff met with Chamber members and researched the proposal.
Subsequently, on September 18, 2001 the Chamber of Commerce approved unanimously to
transfer the film functions to the City of Santa Clarita. Bringing the film function into the City
gives an opportunity to both upgrade the program, and to expand film permitting as a potential
revenue source. Currently, there is no staff in this function; therefore, it is to the City's benefit
to staff this position expeditiously to remain competitive in the film industry.
FISCAL IMPACT
The on-going annual cost is estimated at $110,675. For fiscal year 2001-2002, $46,230 is being
requested from the City Council Contingency fund for the Film Office.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
