<br />Item No: 08B <br />Meeting Date: August 24, 2009 <br />Type of Business: CA <br />Administrator Review : ____ <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Desaree M. Crane, Assistant City Clerk-Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7487 Approving the Mounds View Cable <br />Committee By-laws <br /> <br /> <br />At the April, June and August Work Sessions, the City Council discussed the role/mission <br />of the Cable Committee. Below are some of the questions discussed: <br /> <br />1. What is the role/mission of the Cable Committee? Are they an advisory <br />committee to the City Council? <br /> <br />2. Who has the final authority on City cable programming? Does the City <br />Council have the final authority or is it the Cable Committee? <br /> <br />3. Should the Cable Committee be appointed by the City Council? There are <br />no City Code guidelines on appointments to committees. The Streets and <br />Utilities Committee was appointed by the City Council. What excludes the <br />City Council from appointing members to the Cable Committee? <br /> <br />4. If the City Council wishes to appoint members to the Cable Committee, then <br />should there be term limits in place? <br /> <br />Rough drafts of the By-laws were presented to the City Council at the April, June and <br />August Work Sessions for comment. Using the comments raised at all Work Sessions, the <br />City Council, City Staff and the Cable Committee have been working together on drafting <br />Cable Committee By-laws. Attached is a final draft of the By-laws, which was approved by <br />the Cable Committee at their last meeting on August 17, 2009. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends approval of Resolution 7487, approving the Mounds View Cable <br />Committee By-laws. <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br />________________________ <br />Desaree Crane <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
