Creigrblepramninfegations RF.: North Suburban Cmmmssron Budget for Remainder of 1983 and 1984. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joint and Cooperative Agreement of the North Suburban Cable Carmunications Comission 11 requires the submission of a budget to the nrmher cities of the Commission. Please find enclosed a proposed budget for the C nnission for 1984 and a request for contributions for the remainder of 1983. You need not include the funds in your 1984 city budget since Grasp W will be reimbursing you for cronies spent on the Cammission. The Joint Powers Agreement requires the Commission budget be submitted to the member cities for their questions or Input. You need not fo mally approve the budget. If you chose not to contri- bute 'your city's proportionate share to the Cmnnission, the procedure of the Joint Powers Agreement requires you to withdraw from the Commission by October 15, 1983, in which case you would became respon- sible for administering the cable franchise by yourself. As ,you know, when the new Commission was formed in the Fall of 1982, no request was made of the member cities for additional funds, and the Commission has functioned without any additional funds from the member cities for the first three quarters of 1983, However, construction is in full swing in the North Suburban area and the Camdssion has had to meet once and sanetirres twice a month to rr nitor construction and deal with issues in the construction of the North Suburban system. Therefore, funds are needed for the remainder of 1983. The 1984 budget was developed after a lengthy discussion at the Commission level and after comparing and analyzing budgets for existing cable commissions in the Southwest Suburban area and the Northwest Suburban area. Please find enclosed the proposed budget with Attachment A detailing the 1984 contributions of each member city and the fourth quarter contribution for each member city for 1993.
