Long Beach officials plan on reaching out to community programs, examining their wish lists --- with a possible new funding capability from the state.
According to a report recently made to the council, Long Beach is expected to receive "an unspecified amount" of Public Educational Government (PEG) cable funds in January, due to recent changes in state law.
"A variety of programs that should be considered for funding include public access television, the arts, Channel 8 operations, vocational/youth opportunities, and public/private partnerships," the staff report stated.
Public input for the City Council will be gathered by the staff for possible future use of PEG funds.
Details are still pending on the outreach effort --- and the level of program funding.
