PARR VIDEO
Administrative Assistant Batchelder stated he had
received a final draft of the park video entitled
"Celebrate Mendota Heights Parks" from Paul Pieper the
freelance producer hired by Northern Dakota County Cable
Commission to produce the park video. Batchelder stated
this park video had been produced under a grant from
Northern Dakota County Cable Commission's Government
Access Department. Batchelder stated NDC-4 would
eventually air this video on Government Access Channel 18
for information for Mendota Heights residents.
Batchelder stated this final draft was being previewed
for the Commission tonight in order for them to provide
input and comments on the production. Batchelder stated
the master copy is essentially complete at this time and
final comments could be incorporated into the video.
The Parks Commission viewed the video and provided
comments to staff on technical aspects of the video.
Several Commissioners were concerned about the length of
the video which is 27 minutes. Batchelder stated he
would be meeting with Judy Skiei-Voss of NDC-4 to review
the final draft video and make any appropriate changes to
dress up the video prior to public airing.
