RE: Cable Access - Saint Paul, Inc. ( S ) By-Laws endm ts
CC: Neal Gosman, CASP Executive ire tor
By letter dated May 11, 1989, Mr. Neal os an, Executive Direct of Cable Access - Saint
Paul, Inc. (CASP) transmitted actions of the CASP Board of Dire ors taken at two annual
meetings, that of May 9, 1989 and that f ay 29, 1986. The co spondence is attached.
Back rg ound
CASP's By-Laws currently require that ny amendments to thos y-Laws enacted by the
CASP Board of Directors must be app ve by the City Council.
Ma 9 198 B -Laws Amendment
The May 9, 1989 Board actions are no changes which perm the Board to act more
effectively in situations of temporarily ac nt Board seats.
Ma 29 19 6 -Laws Amen ment
At the 1986 general membership meeti g, e CASP Board adop d a By-Laws amendment
which would remove the requirement f ity Council approval By-Laws changes.
In 1986, the CASP Board had been fu cti ning with its then-ne Executive Director, Mr.

Gosman, about a year. The cited CA P oard By-Laws chang came on the heels of a
period of CASP turmoil as the Board s ff found their footing Because of the problems
and issues with CASP at that time, t e ity Council in 1986 id over indefinitely the
requested By-Laws change.
CASP's performance during the last th e ears has steadily imp ved. CASP has carried
out well its obligations to the City unde pr visions of the cable chise and the Board of
Directors has provided solid leadership I Quarter I, 1989, the oard completed a sound
strategic planning process which provid s idance for the next e years.
Recommendation
I have attached two Council resolutio . ne resolution appro s the May 1989 CASP
Board By-Iaws actions. The other app ov s the May 1986 CAS Board By-La.ws action,
which would remove the requirement o C uncil approval of CA P By-La.ws.
I believe it is time that the City recogni SP's improved track ecord and take steps to
disengage itself from direct involvemen in ASP matters, permi ing CASP to expand its
accountability for its own affairs. I re o end that the resolu ' n be submitted to the
Council, and approved by that body, w 'ch emoves the necessi for Council approval of
CASP By-I,aws changes (resolution u er Green Sheet numb 3778). The practical
impacts are few, but the vote of confide ce in CASP is importan .
attachments:
1. Green Sheet 3778 -Resolution re o ng requirement for C ncil approval of CASP
By-Laws changes.
2. Green Sheet 3779 - Resolution a pr 'ng May 9, 1989 cha es to CASP By-Laws.
