ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—February 14, 2011 4 <br /> 2.C. North Suburban Communication Commission (continued) <br /> Ms. Wilson stated the cities get franchise fees from the cable company and a portion of this is <br /> used to support the Commission. Access Corporation is largely funded by an operating grant that <br /> was negotiated with the cable company in the 1980's to provide community programming. The _ <br /> NSCC also utilizes an equipment grant. <br /> Councilmember Holmes asked what type of consultants would be hired by NSCC for the <br /> negotiations and if these consultants would be local residents. <br /> Ms. Wilson stated NSCC would need to hire engineering consultants who understand cable <br /> systems and how they are built to evaluate how the current system is working and what the future <br /> needs will be, a financial consultant to evaluate the cable company's financials, and a needs <br /> assessment person to meet with cities, schools, non profits, and employees to find out what they <br /> feel their future cable needs will be. Because of the specialized nature of these consultants it is <br /> not likely they will be local residents. <br /> Mayor Grant thanked Ms. Wilson for the cable TV update. <br /> PUBLIC <br /> Mayor Grant opened the Public Inquiries/Informational at 7:54 p.m, <br /> Mayor Grant closed the Public Inquiries/Informational at 7:55 p.m. <br /> 3.
