Please forward this material to the appropriate person on the City Council , so that we can proceed with scheduling of another meeting date. Sin�r Dan Davies for Frank Woytek Metro Cable, Inc. Jr fir A METRO CABLE, INC. Dear City Council Member: At a meeting held in December to discuss Public Access and the proposed changes, it was decided by those in attendance, to write to the City Councils to ask that you select a person to come to a follow-up meeting to continue the discussion. We will continue to discuss the need for a re-organization plan with the possibility of creating a Public Access organization responsible for all four communities . Please call Mr. Woytek or myself on your selection so that we can schedule our next meeting. Sincerely, Dan Davies for Frank Woytek Metro Cable, Inc. 16900 Cedar Avenue South Rosemount, Minnesota 55068 432-2610 r O, METRO CABLE, INC. Summary of Public Access meeting on Thursday, December 18, 1985 A group of representatives of Apple Valley, Lakeville, Farmington and Rosemount met with Frank Woytek, Dan Davies and Chris Oace at the Metro Cable office to discuss proposed changes in the future development of Public Access. Frank opened the meeting with an explanation of the growth and expenditures in the past year on Public Access. He pointed out that the development of the group of people from the four communities into the "Public Access Club" has put increased demand on time and equipment and has also shown a new and enlarged potential for Public Access. There have been over 30 people in attendance at various meetings, showing their interest in working on projects for the channel. Many projects have been started and many ideas expressed. Also many new problems have come up that need to be addressed. Each person in attendance received a proposal in advance of the meeting to review for discussion. The proposal pointed out problems of communications, equipment control and unified direction and purpose for Public Access. It also proposed solutions and goals for the four communities to agree upon. The discussion that followed brought an increased awareness that Metro Cable is in a unique situation in that it has four different Franchise Agreements for the area it serves. Each agreement is different in its dealings with Public Access. This is now causing increased confusion. For example: One person hired for Apple Valley, another person for Lakeville. Equipment purchased by Lakeville for Lakeville residents, equipment plans for Rosemount and Metro Cable purchasing equipment for everyone. It was pointed out that Rosemount and Farmington have minor provisions for Public Access, although people from their communities are in the Public Access group. Since the people in the group come from all the communities, it was noted that this confusion is making it difficult to serve all the communities and to follow through with the kind of leadership and direction necessary for growth. An organizational structure evolving out of the "Public Access Club" was discussed as the overall solution. This structure ideally should be a non- profit organization 16900 Cedar Avenue South Rosemount, Minnesota 55068 432-2610 Page 2 It was suggested that a board of directors elected by the four City Councils would oversee the operation of Public Access. Public Access could function then on its own outside the juresdiction of the Cable Commissions, cities and Metro Cable. It was agreed that Public Access could better serve all the communities with programming produced by members of the Access Group, if all the communities contributed to the effort that would serve everyone rather than each community seperately. All agreed a case had been made for changes, if Public Access should meet its full potential. It was pointed out that Metro Cable has the responsibility to fund the needs of Public Access. Frank then detailed the costs so far and a general picture of overall cable costs and indicated he alone could not meet the increased costs that a re-organization of Public Access would involve. He indicated he would fund a certain amount of dollars into a general fund with each city contributing an agreed upon amount. All present at the meeting agreed this was a difficult solution because of the wording of each franchise agreement and the different Franchise fees paid. But they also agreed it was the only kind of solution that could be addressed. After much discussion, the meeting closed with a recommendation that the four City Councils be notified and asked to send a representative to follow up meetings to be scheduled soon to continue discussion of funding and re-organization of Public Access in the best interest of all . At the conclusion, it was said we should have a proposal and budget set for the next meeting.
