VOSE FACSIMILE (612) 546-1003 <br /> WILLIAM S. FORSBERG** <br /> April 2, 1998 <br /> Mr. Chuck Whiting <br /> City Administrator <br /> City of Mounds View <br /> 2401 Highway 10 <br /> Mounds View, MN 55112 <br /> Dear Mr. Whiting: <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 />
