<br />Item No: 7J <br />Meeting Date: 05/22/06 <br /> Type of Business: CB <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Kurt Ulrich, City Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 6829 Resolution in Support of Local Cable and <br />Video Provider Franchising. <br /> <br />Recently, bills have either been introduced or drafted in Congress that would <br />hinder or preclude the Cities from requiring providers of cable and video services <br />that use City rights-of-way to fully meet local community needs, or to comply with <br />existing franchise fee requirements. There is a concern among local cable <br />administrators that the reduction in fees could severely limit the local public cable <br />services that will remain available. <br /> <br />The NWCC/CTV Administrator, Coralie Wilson, will be present at the Council <br />meeting to review the potential impacts and answer questions in regard to the <br />proposed legislation. <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation <br />The attached Resolution 6829 in Support of Local Cable and Video Provider <br />Franchising is presented for Council adoption. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
