Item Number: 2 <br />Meeting Date: April 6, 2008 <br />Type of Business: WS <br />Administrator Review: _____ <br /> <br /> City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Desaree Crane, Assistant City Clerk-Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: Discuss the Role of the Cable Committee <br /> <br /> <br />It has come to the attention of Staff that there is no record of any officially adopted <br />Cable Committee bylaws and guidelines. Staff thought that this would be a great <br />opportunity to have an open discussion with the City Council on the role/mission of the <br />Cable Committee. Below are some questions of discussion: <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, <br />then should there be term limits in place? <br /> <br />Attached are rough drafts of Cable Committee bylaws and guidelines, submitted by the <br />Cable Committee, for your review and comments. There is a joint meeting with the City <br />Council and the Cable Committee scheduled for the May Work Session to discuss cable <br />programming, the bylaws/guidelines of the committee, and the role/mission of the Cable <br />Committee. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Desaree Crane
