Ft' <br />AGENDA ITEM1A <br />STAFF MEMBER Daniel Tesch, Director of Administration <br />DATE 8 May 2000 <br />SUBJECT Anoka County Board of Commissioners <br />VOTE REQUIRED Simple Majority <br />BACKGROUND <br />The Anoka County Board of Commissioners appears to be one of the last elected bodies <br />in the metropolitan area that do not broadcast their public meetings. We at the North Metro <br />Telecommunication Commission (NMTC) have lately been receiving calls from county residents <br />wondering why they can not view the commissioners as they do their city councils. The <br />Commission (NMTC) felt that if city councils in Anoka County prepared a resolution requesting <br />that the county commissioners begin televising their meetings, they might re -consider their <br />decision. <br />OPTIONS <br />1. Approve the attached resolution and forward it to Anoka County. <br />2. Decline to approve the attached resolution. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />1. Council prerogative. <br />
