RESOLUTION SUPPORTING COMMUNITY ACCESS MANAGEMENT
BY A NON-PROFIT CORPORATION
WHEREAS, the City of Falcon Heights (hereinafter "City") recognizes the functions
that community access on a cable communication system can perform in serving
the communications needs of the variety of community organizations, institutions
and individuals, and in enriching the cable subscribers/viewers by providing
information about community events and resources plus an awareness of the scope
and dynamics of activity within the ten-city area, and
WHEREAS, the North Suburban Cable Commission (hereinafter "Commission") is
authorized to act on behalf of the City through a joint and cooperative agreement
to oversee and administer the franchise that the City has granted to Cable TV
North Central, and
WHEREAS, the Commission has completed a thorough study of community access
which study's main conclusions include that community access would be best
by a non-profit corporation rather than by the cable communications company, and

• of resources to support and produce a successful access operation;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City directs its Commission representative to
support the Commission's negotiations to effect the orderly transfer of community
access management functions and resources from Cable TV North Central or its
successor to a non-profit corporation which responsibility it is to promote
the community access opportunities and to manage resources provided for same in the
ten-city area, and which will have sufficient funds to perform its duties; and
The City directs its Commission representative to report the result,of negotiations
to the City for review and appropriate action.
