Berger advised the week of August 22 there appeared to be a particularly noticeable severity of odor and frequency of complaints. Councilmember Winiecki commented she had tried to call to register a complaint during the evening hours; she questioned if there was an "after hours" number for registering complaints. Berger stated he would review the Town Crier to locate telephone numbers which were published for registering complaints with the MPCA during evening hours and report his findings to Council. CABLE TV; COMMUNITY ACCESS NORTH SUBURBS Council was referred to a memorandum from Berger dated 8-26-88, regarding a report received from NSCC requesting Council consideration of a resolution supporting Community AccessManagement by a Non-Profit Corporation. William Bauer, Chairman of the Cable Commission, was present to review the document and summarize the proposal which would transfer community access managment functions and resources from Cable T.V. North Central to a non-profit corporation. He advised the report was approved and adopted by the NSCC at its regular meeting held August 4, 1988. Bauer noted the report sets out a skeletal structure of Commission discussion and also outlines an evaluation process for measuring success of community access once the transfer occurs. Bauer reported the NSCC has determined that community access in the north suburbs is important to subscribers and the cities and that Cable T.V. North Central has done less than an adequate job in providing the community access function.
