Cable TV franchise fees are used to cover communication and AV equipment costs. Trends: The fee currently is estimated to generate approximately $94,500 per year for the Cable Fund. Developer Reimbursements The County has purchased the TCAAP property. Once plans and phasing have been determined, estimates can be made on developer reimbursements and expenditures for the property. A Development Agreement will be entered into in which the City is reimbursed for its expenses incurred with this acquisition. Trends: No revenues have been budgeted at this time but once plans and phasing have been determined, revenues are expected to offset costs incurred in connection with this project. This will happen as part of the Joint Development Authority with Ramsey County.
