Mr.Ericson asked if the Commission members would entertain the idea of reducing the number of meetings being cablecast for city programming. The consensus from the members was that would be counter to the city's stated goals of communication with the residents and that reduction of meeting broadcasts should not be the authority of individual commissions.
