REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
AUTHORIZATION FOR CONTRACT FOR CITY VIDEO
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Redevelopment Agency:
1. Authorize the Assistant City Manager to execute a consultant services contract with PSI, InC,.
for the production of a City of Tustin Video in an amount not to exceed $25,000; and
2. Appropriate $12,500 fi-om the South Central Redevelopment Project Area and $12,500 fi-om
the Town Cemer Redevelopmem Project Area to cover the cost of this contract.
FISCAL IMPACT
This contract is in an amount not to exceed $25,000. No appropriation was made for a video in the
1995-96 budget nor in the proposed 1996-97 budget. Therefore, a specific appropriation is required.
BACKGROUND
On November 8, 1995, the City Council directed staff to seek bids and recommend a contractor for the
preparation of a video of the City of Tustin.
The primary purpose of the video is to provide a portrait of Tustin in a manner which shows it to be a
multi-faceted, dynamic community. The video will provide a "soft sell" marketing approach to inform
William A. Huston, City Manager

existing Tustin residents and businesses of the character and benefits of remaining in Tustin as well as
what services the City provides. It will also be used to give businesses considering locating in Tustin,
most specifically in the Redevelopment Project Areas and the proposed project area on MCAS-Tustin,
basic information about the City ofTustin. -
The request for proposals was sero to over 100 video production firms throughout Southem
California. Fourteen responses were received. Based on a staff review of these proposals, six
production companies were interviewed. The interview panel consisted of the Assistant City Manager,
the Redevelopment Program Manager, the Redevelopment Project Manager, a representative of the
Economic Development Council's Business Attraction Committee as well as a representative of the
Business Retention Committee.
The interview panel unanimously selected PSI, Inc. and staff undertook a reference check. All of the
references received concerning PSI, Inc. were also positive.
DISCUSSION
Staffis recommending the Agency authorize entering into a contract with PSI, Inc. in an amoum not to
exceed $25,000 for the preparation and production of the video. The contract requires PSI, Inc. to
develop, write, script, film, edit and produce a professional, high quality video which provides a
portrait of the Tustin community, its people, its values, its environment, its past and its furore. The
video is expected to be 8 to 12 minutes in length with stereo sound quality. The contract calls for the
delivery of an initial 50 copies. The video will also be designed so that certain information can be 6asily
translated for any proposed Tustin presence on the Interact.
The video will be of high professional quality and utilize the currem state of the art in film production.
It may include still photographs, live action, animation and/or computer graphics. Music' and/or sound
effects will be of the highest quality. Narration, if any, will be by a recognizable voice, if the budget
allows. The video will also be designed so that itis not easily dated and have a long "shelf life". 'While
PSI, Inc. proposed an outline of the video in its proposal, which is attached as part of the proposed
contract, the actual outline of the video has not yet been determined.
The consultant Understands the Agency does not want the standard "city" video; that the Agency
desires a video which is unique in its presentation when compared to videos produced for other cities
but which, at the same time, is acceptable to the expectations and artistic appreciation of the general
public and the business community.
William A. Huston, City Manager

The Agency's 1995-96 Budget did not include an appropriation for a video, nor does the proposed
1996-97 Agency budget. Therefore, staff is recommending the Redevelopment Agency appropriate
$25,000 for the preparation, design and production of the video. The funds would come from both
Project Areas.
Further, as MCAS-Tustin is closed and a project area is created, the video as a marketing tool will be
in place to assist with whatever additional efforts are made for the Base. Because of this, staff expects
that approximately 20% of the cost will be retumed to the South Central and Town Center Project
Areas at some point in the furore once the new MCAS-Tustin project area is formed.
The proposed contract with PSI, Inc. has been reviewed by the City Attorney. If approved by the City
Council, it will be executed by the Assistant City Manager after PSI, Inc. has provided the necessary
insurance certificates.
BENEFIT TO THE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREAS
The preparation of the video adds another facet to the Agency's efforts to eliminate blight and enhance
the economic strength of the South Central and Town Center Project Areas by retaining the businesses
which are located there and attracting additional businesses into undemfllized and/or undeveloped
property. Along with a marketing brochure and newsletter, the Agency will be able to better retain and
attract the type of development needed to strengthen the project areas. Upon completion of the video,
brochure and newsletter, the Agency will use them and other tools to develop its presence on the
Intemet and other communications media to expand these efforts beyond what is currently being done.

17 December 1995
SPEAK UP TUSTIN
AS we fade in from black, a distant driving drum roll is heard. We see
a satellite image of our planet, and immediately begin a high velocity trajectory,
plummeting toward the Earth, hurtling toward a destination in the western
hemisphere, North America, the United States, the'State of California, the County
of Orange, and the City of Tustin, arriving quickly at ground zero on the fifty yard
line of the football field at Tustin High School, and a fisheye view of the high
school marching band arrayed in full uniform. A fanfare of drums punctuated by a
clash of symbols sets the band to marching over and around a ground level and
wide angle camerareye-view.
We dissolve to a fast-paced montage of establishing shots underpinned by
music from the high school marching band. It is a dynamic visual portrait which
features diverse and colorful images of Tustin - from the old city settlement to the
modern communities of Tustin Ranch; from the foothills to the Tustin Marketplace;
highlighting the hustle and bustle of thriving business districts, the campuses of
various schools, the shopping centers, parks and recreational amenities.
Throughout this segment we capture various close-ups and medium shots of
people who live and work in Tustin, waving at the passing camera, greeting
viewers as if they were a familiar neighbor.
.
·
Cut to an establishing shot in old towr{ Tustin, where our narrator, who is a
resident of Tustin. and the official radio voice of the Mighty Ducks hockey team,
stands alongside the wishing well, microphone in hand. He bids the viewer an
official welcome on behalf of the City of Tustin.
Then, after a brief anecdotal explanation of the significance of that colorful
landmark, he sets the tone for the rest of the video. What better way to portray a
.community, he wonders aloud, than through the eyes and voices of the people
who live and work here. Then, as if issuing a neighborly challenge, he says "So
speak up, Tustin!" And so they do.
Methodically, our camera tours the'city, from city hall to shopping centers,
from residential streets to major employment centers, from school campuses t6
city parks and landmarks. And all along the way, our narrator interviews the
people who best know Tustin - members of city government, the Chamber of
Commerce, business leaders, school teachers, shop owners, residents, school
children, city maintenance crews, shoppers, 'hospital workers, major employers,
the local librarian, city historian, the editor.of the local Tustin newspaper, notable
past and present residents of Tustin (baseball players, T. Jefferson Parker, etc.),
perhaps the eldest living resident, ann so on.
And all along the way we learn not only the facts and figures, those vital
statistics indicative of Tustin - supported when and where necessary by colorful
graphics - but we are enveloped by the' texture of a warm and personable
community,' people who are proud tO share the story of their home. People who
tell us not only about the city in which they live, work and play, but who also share
the proximity of Tustin to the infrastructure and attractions of the greater
community, that of Orange 'County and Southern California.
And thus Tustin speaks out, a rich tapestry of voices and images, rendering
the portrait of a diverse and thriving community, energetic and warm, exciting and
self-possessed, rooted firmly in history and tradition, but with a passionate vision
of the future.
