r- <br />fees. However., as a result of the pending Amendment Agree- <br />ment No. 1 with Group W Cable, the Cable Commission had <br />decided up to this point not to request contributions from <br />each member city. Amendment Agreement No. 1 includes a <br />$150,000 indemnification payment from Group W Cable which <br />would not be an advance on franchise fees and which would <br />more than fund the Commission for 1985. However, the City <br />of Mounds View has encountered, through no fault of its <br />own, a problem with its Charter in its adoption of Amend- <br />ment Agreement No. 1. That problem has been resolved and <br />Mounds View is expected to proceed now with the adoption <br />of Amendment Agreement No. 1. <br />Although the Commission has no reason to believe that <br />Group W will not sign Amendment Agreement No. 1, or that <br />Mounds View will not adopt it, cash flow concerns of the <br />Commission have resulted in the need for them to request <br />funds from their member cities. The Cities' contributions <br />will then be repaid from the $150,000 to be received from <br />Group W. If for some reason the $150,000 is not forthcoming, <br />the Commission will proceed to request of Group W, as has <br />been the procedure in the past, an advance on the franchise <br />fees. In either event, the member cities will be repaid <br />either as an advance on franchise fees or from the $150,000 <br />indemnification payment. <br />i <br />Each city's contribution appears on the Attachment <br />to this memorandum. The North Suburban Cable Commission <br />would request that the City appropriate the amount indi- <br />cated for your city on the attachment and submit your <br />check to the North Suburban Cable Commission. Please <br />submit your check, along with documentation indicating <br />your expenditure of such funds (such as requisition <br />requests, invoices, etc.) so that said documentation <br />will be available for the Commission to request advance <br />on franchise fees from Group W if such procedures would <br />become necessary. <br />Checks and supporting documentation should be mailed <br />to the North Suburban Cable Commission, Attention: Gale <br />Linebarger, Treasurer, City of Falcon Heights, 2077 West <br />Larpenteur Avenue, Falcon Heights, Minnesota 55113. <br />Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. <br />cc: Directors, North Suburban Cable Commission <br />Bootsie Anderson, Cable Administrator <br />Attachment <br />
