Council President Victor J. Tedesco and
Hanorable Members of the City Coun.cil
Seventh Floor, City I�all
Saint Pau1, AZinnesota 55102
Dear Fresident Tedesco arid Council Members: ,
On June 24 at the 10:00 a.m. City Council meeting, I will be making a motion to
reconside.r Ordinance No. 278873 dealing with the cable television franchise.
0�1 June 18 the Energy, Utilities and Environment Corrnnittee met as a whole and
. came to an agreement that the City Cotulcil would retain control of the franchising
process, development of RFP, and the duty of_ over.seeing the cable comQnunications
staff and budget. Several amendments were made to Councilman l'Vilson's original
resolution with the intent of maintaining Council. control. However, after
reviewing the �nended resolution ivhich �aas brought back from committee by
Councilman �Vilson and passed by the full Council, it is apparent that the Council
failed to eliminate �vording that wi"11 in fact assign the city acbninistration the
duty of ovexseeing the cable co�rnnwlications staff and budget.
Since this was not the intent of the Energy Cormnittee on June 18, I will be making
a motion to delete paragraph 8 of the resolution dealing with the cable coriununi-
cations staff.
I will also be making a motion to amend the beginning portion of paragraph 9
so it would read as follows:
"FURTf-IER RESOLVED, that the cable staff and consultant ►vill remain under the
st�pervision of the Council; and a task force of representatives of the city
departments be vnmediately formed for the purpose of working with the consultant
and cable staff to:"
In addition, I will be making a motion to add the following wording after
nwnber 7 of paragraph 9:
"FURTI-IER RESOLVEll, that the City Council will begin sereening and hiring one
or more consultants to assist with the process after a period of two weeks from
this date."

I have included a copy of the passed resolution with notations of intended

or amend the resolution so that it is in line with the discussion on June 18,
I would be glad to hear them.
