CHAIRMAN Council was referred to the minutes of the Cable Committee Meetins (4-9-87). Chairman Bill Bauer explained the current voting procedures are based on population (one vote per 5,000 population), and the NSCC is reviewing a procedure whereby proportionate representation would be based on the number of subscribers or franchise fees. He stated any change would have little effect on Arden Hills, since we now have 6.45% of the vote and with proportionate revenue we would receive 6.39%. Bauer advised that if a change occurs, it will require Council approval and he asked for Council direction. After discussion, Council consensus was that the cities that are most impacted by the change should make the decision.

RD, E Council was referred to the Public Safety/Works Committee Meeting (4-16-87), re: the request for no parking on the south side of County Road E, from Lake high voltage power lines. Johanna Blvd., to the Councilmember Hansen reported that she had checked the number of parking spaces with Deputy Herbst and found there were over 200 spaces (not including the boat trailer parking); at 2 or 3 persons per car there would be 400-600 people using the beach. She cited swimming safety, safety of persons walking to the beach, and erosion of the ditches in the area as factors for approving the no parking request. Ken Lausen at Ramsey County adVised he would prefer to have all County Roads posted no parking. Hansen also discussed with Lausen the concept of charging fees for for lake usage; the County advised if the Village wants to charge fees they can take over the maintenance of the park. In discussions w.ith New Brighton City Manager, this will be the first year they will charge for usage of the park; Hansen noted this may increase the number of persons using Lake Johanna. Hansen stated the ditch erosion damage is mostly from the high voltage lines to . New Brighton Road and it would be more practical and effective to restrict the parking past the high voltage lines; also for enforcement purposes. Hansen moved, seconded by Winiecki, that Council request Ramsey County to restrict parking on the south side of County Road E from Lake Johanna Bo"levard to New Brighten Road. Motion carried unanimously.
