Reports of the Chair <br /> Chair reports that the resolution amending the fee language has proceeded through the Council <br /> although it has not yet been voted on due to a missing Councilmember from that meeting as <br /> Charter amendments require agreement from all members.

Amundsen asked when the franchise fee was initiated due to the statutory time limits for those <br /> things. Discussion followed. <br /> Chair also mentioned some questions have been raised regarding the Cable Committee. The city <br /> has its own Committee in addition to the larger regional Commission. Unfortunately, it is not <br /> mentioned in the Charter nor can staff find any documentation for its initiation or continuing <br /> functions such as By-Laws or Mission Statement. There is no resolution for this issue at this <br /> time but it raises the question that there is no Charter or City Code direction for the operation of <br /> such committees. <br /> 6.
