This is an increase of <br />$59,433 over the 2000 budget. The increase is due primarily to the creation of two new line items <br />developed to support the organization's stated goals of digital equipment acquisition and facility <br />improvement. It also reflects anticipated additional needs in the legal, consulting, and legislative <br />affairs line items, due to the competitive franchising and renewal processes and heightened <br />lobbying activity to combat legislation that could prove devastating to local franchising authority. <br /> <br />Recommendatil In: <br /> <br />That the Member Cities approve the 2001 Commission Budget as <br />recommended by the Commission Executive Committee and the <br />Operations Committee. <br /> <br />II. 2001 MEDIA CENTER BUDGET <br /> <br />The amended Jont Powers Agreement established an "Operations Committee" which is <br />composed of Member City administrators. Their primary responsibility is to provide input to the <br />operation and budget of the Community Media Center. Enclosed is the 2001 Media Center <br />budget proposed by the Operations Committee and recommended by the Commission Executive <br />Committee for approval by its Member Cities. <br /> <br />1630 - JOIst Avenue Northeast.
