RESOLUTION SUPPORTING COMMUNITY ACCESS MANAGEMENT
BY A NON-PROFIT CORPORATION
WHEREAS, the City of Arden Hills (hereinafter "City") recognizes
the functions that community access on a cable communications system can
perform in serving the communications needs of the variety of community
organizations, institutions and individuals, and in enriching the cable
subscribers/viewers by providing information about community events and
resources plus an awareness of the scope and dynamics of activity within
the ten-city area, and
WHEREAS, the North Suburban Cable Commission (hereinafter
"Commission") is authorized to act on behalf of the City through a joint
and cooperative agreement to oversee and administer the franchise that the
City has granted to Cable TV North Central, and
WHEREAS, the Commission has completed a thorough study of
community access which studyls main conclusions include that community
access would best be managed by a non-profit corporation rather than by
the cable communications company, and that Cable TV North Central has
failed in its efforts to provide the proper mix of resources to support
and produce a successful access operation;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City directs its
Commission representative to support the Commission's negotiations to
effect the orderly transfer of community access management functions and
resources from Cable TV North Central or its successor to a non-profit
corporation which responsibility it is to promote the community access
opportunities and to manage resources provided for same in the ten-city
area, and which will have sufficient funds to perform its duties; and
The City directs its Commission representative to report the results of
negotiations to the City for review and appropriate action.
