10 Cable T.V. Update
it Dennis Murphy, 3412 Downers Drive, who is the City Representative on the
12 North Suburban Cable Commission, was present to discuss the current
13 issues facing that Commission.
14 Mr. Murphy distributed a four page report to the Councilmembers and
15 staff which listed four major issues which were discussed. He discussed
16 in depth the Commission's plan for taking over public access television
17 from North Central Cable.
18 Mr. Murphy called the council's attention to the two items which had
19 caused the most concern in the plan, which were that the Cable Company
20 had not provided the required funding to the community programming
01function; and that, without approval of the Commission, the Cable
2 Company had reduced the performance bonds. Mr. Murphy does feel,
23 however, that the Cable Company and Commission will come to agreement,
24 possibly as early as August, 1989.
25 Mayor Pro Tem Ranallo inquired as to Mr. Murphy's thoughts on cable
26 deregulation. Mr. Murphy indicated that federal legislation appears
27 to be headed back towards regulation. Both men agreed that cable T.V.
28 costs have increased almost 40% since deregulation went into effect.
29 Mr. Murphy also asked for Council opinion on televising City Council and
30 Planning Commission meetings. Overall, Councilmembers agreed they would
31 be in favor of televising their meetings, but expressed concerns about
32 costs to the City, equipment, quality, community interest, and the
33 City's ability to find a person with the expertise to film the meetings
34 on a consistent basis.
35 Mr. Murphy responded to Council's concern about costs by saying the City
36 receives $21,000 plus from franchise money or, he suggested applying for
37 available grant money.
38 Councilmember Makowske's suggestion to wait until a new City Manager is
39 in place before looking into this matter further met with a motion by
40 Councilmember Marks to direct staff to set up televising City Council
41 and Planning Commission meetings with a target date of two months. The
• 3
1 motion failed to receive a second, whereupon the following motion was
2 made:
• 3 Motion by Marks, seconded by Makowske to direct staff to investigate
4 televising City Council and Planning. Commission meetings; to ascertain
5 appropriate costs, availability of equipment, and other related
6 information to be ready for presentation at the September 12, 1989
7 Council meeting.
8 Motion carried unanimously.

12 Flaherty. The other Councilmembers echoed their agreement and said Mr.
13 Flaherty had been a community leader of the highest regard for many
14 years and he will be greatly missed.
15 Barb Olsonoski of Apache Plaza, informed the Mayor Pro Tem that Apache
16 will not be sponsoring a queen for next year. Council and staff will
17 research other community service organizations as to interest in this
18 sponsorship. The cost to the sponsor would be about $3 ,000 for
19 conducting the pageant, advertising, selection, and entering the queen
20 in the Aquatennial and Winter Carnival contests. Ms. Olsonoski agreed
21 to assist another sponsor if one is found.
•22 Mayor Pro Tem Ranallo also spoke about the success of the VillageFest

10 The owner's son, Dr. John Cheng, had contacted Acting City Manager
11 VanderHeyden prior to the hearing and indicated he had been unaware of .
12 the large amount of overdue bills but would like to attempt to pay the
13 bills before they are certified to the County. Ms. VanderHeyden
14 suggested that, because the son was very cooperative and the City has
15 until October to certify, she would recommend the Council approve
16 Resolution 89-020 and the resolution would not be certified to the
17 County for one month, allowing the Cheng's to yet resolve the issue.

19 that the City could indeed certify the assessment if all costs are not
