Page 4 <br />Mounds View pays a monthly fee to NSAC for the hosting, scheduling and <br />playback of video on government access channel 16 and for the recording <br />and web streaming of city meetings. There are several ways to achieve <br />these same services, from owning and operating the equipment to other <br />service providers. Periodic review of possible solutions and current <br />technology is appropriate. <br />Periodic assessment of the relationship to investigate whether the needs and interests <br />of the City of Mounds View and the residents are best being met through this <br />organization. <br />The current arrangement of franchise oversight and public, educational, <br />government access has been in place since 1981. Does the current <br />arrangement still represent the best use of resources to support the City <br />and residents? <br />NSCC Withdrawal Process <br />Terms of withdrawal from the Commission from <br />http://www.ctvnorthsuburbs.com/content/franchise/exhibita.pdf <br />Section 2.
