Project Status 1. Digital City Remix: Mr. Friedman reported that the product was finished. Mr. Riggs stated that the film meets technical requirements, but may have copyright issues. The grantee told Mr. Nickels that he had rights to use the material in question; the grantee will be asked to provide documentation. It was determined that the commission needs to absolve itself. There was discussion regarding fair use and how it is substantiated. Mr. Friedman will request releases relating to the film, which must be provided by the filmmaker prior to receiving payment. There needs to be a legal opinion as to CALOP’s responsibility level when the producer, not CALOP, shows the film. A copy of the film will be provided to Petree Eastman, Assistant to the City Manager, for review. Discussion was also held on whether CALOP was eligible for legal representation/insurance coverage through the City. Ms. Mullin has a letter from the City Attorney explaining that CALOP is eligible for legal representation and insurance coverage through the City and will provide a copy for the minutes. The commission will review the film. 2. Sutter Meyer House – Some filming has been done and footage is available. 3.
