Proposal for: The City of Palm Desert
Re: Low-power city radio system (1610 AM)
This is a proposal regarding the writing and production of your station information tapes.
From February 1, 1996 to February 1, 1997 (52 weeks), I propose to write, voice and
produce, on a weekly basis,five-minute audio cassette tapes to be aired on the city's traffic radio
system (1610 AM). The city would fax me the basic information at least two weeks in advance of
the start of air time. From that material, I would be responsible for writing,voicing and
producing the five-minute program on audio cassette tape,ready to be input into the city radio
system.
I propose to do this service, based on a two-hour writing and productionperiod,per five-
minute tape, per week,for$28 per hour or$2,912.00 for the year. Any additional work will be
considered separate from this proposal.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Willi Rose
