Regarding a Roseville Board Member for the North Suburban Communications Commission / North Suburban Access Corporation Board, Councilmember Laliberte sought clarification that a contract was to be negotiated this year. Mayor Roe, as current Board Member, advised that the Comcast franchise agree- ment with ten (10) member cities was set to expire late in 2013; and that infor- mation gathering and developing a case for those cities with negotiations had been ongoing for the last two (2) years. Mayor Roe noted that City Manager Malinen served on the Franchise Renewal Group as part of that process, and at this point, key points were being developed to be used during negotiations. Regarding the Access Corporation, Mayor Roe noted that this was specific to public cable ser- vices, training of operations, and facilitating public media within the member communities. Mayor Roe volunteered to continue as the City's designee to the Board,however,he expressed an interest in transitioning off that group. Councilmember McGehee asked that Mayor Roe continue to serve based on the current status of negotiations. Mayor Roe noted that every meeting over the course of the next year would not necessarily involve those negotiations, and suggested an alternate be designated. City Manager Malinen, based on his discussions with Executive Director Cor Wilson, concurred that an alternate be designated. McGehee volunteered to serve as an alternate; however, she noted that she did not have this cable system at her residence, so had no personal experience in its ser- vice.
