MASTERMAN <br />FACSIMILE (612) 546-1003 <br />April 2, 1998 <br />As you know, the current extension of the cable television franchise ordinance expires on April <br />20, 1998. We have now fundamentally completed negotiation of a renewed franchise and the <br />North Suburban Communications Commission will consider the franchise at its regular meeting <br />Thursday, April 2, 1998. We fully expect that the Commission will make a positive <br />recommendation to its member cities regarding adoption of the franchise and that the final <br />documents will be provided to the member cities in the very near future. <br />However, time is needed for cities to fully review the proposed franchise and because some cities <br />have lengthy ordinance adoption requirements including first and second readings which will <br />likely prevent effective adoption of the franchise ordinance by April 20th, we are recommending <br />further extension of the current franchise. Enclosed please find a proposed Ordinance Amendment <br />extending the franchise for an additional ninety (90) days. This additional extension period has <br />been agreed to by the Company in order to prevent a lapse in the franchise. Of course, this <br />further extension does not change the underlying terms of the current franchise, and simply <br />permits the orderly adoption of the renewed franchise. <br />Please adopt the enclosed Ordinance Amendment and send notification to this office. <br />Page 1 <br />
