Estimated revenues include: Franchise fees based on the actual first quarter <br />franchise fee payment. PEG fees are based on the actual first quarter PEG fee <br />payment. Because of a franchise fee review settlement with Comcast, PEG <br />funding through 2017 is no longer threatened by recent FCC orders.

Interest income is estimated based on the first quarter interest earnings <br />of this year. <br />. Estimated expenditures include the operating expenses, capital expenses, and the <br />franchise fee payment to the cities. Franchise fees back to cities are budgeted at <br />$335,385. <br />.

The total value of owed <br />vacation, sick, and comp time to employees. <br />o The Capital equipment fund is money set aside for the purchase of major <br />video production equipment systems. Examples of what this could be <br />used for include an upcoming master control upgrade. The current <br />automated system will need upgrading andlor replacement within the next <br />couple of years. <br />o The truck replacement fund is to replace the production truck. The <br />current truck is eight years old. It may need to be replaced in five to six <br />years. The cost of replacement is 175,000-185,000. <br /> <br />I <br />P.l <br /> <br />~L, <br />
