CABLE TV COMMITTEE - TRUSTEES PETRI & RETTBERG A meeting of the Regional Cable Group was held on October 14 , 1993 . Continental Cablevision notified the participating communities that they wish to initiate the process to renew their franchise agreement which will expire next year. The Village under the formal procedure will have to act on the notice sometime within the next six (6) months . As part of the process requirements there must be a public meeting held by the Village to identify what the future of cable is in the community; what the needs and what the interests are with respect to cable television and review the past performance of the cable operator which is Continental Cablevision. The Operator will submit a proposal to the Village . Essentially the process in evaluating the proposal is based on four (4) different criteria as follows : 1 . That the Cable operator during the existence of the cable franchise agreement in the past has fulfilled the terms of the agreement and complied with the applicable law. 2 . That the quality of the operator' s service includes such things as signal quality, response to consumer complaints, and billing practices . 3 . That the operator has the financial, legal and technical ability to provide the services, facility and equipment . 4 . That the operator' s proposal is reasonable to meet the future cable related community needs and interests taking into account the cost of such services . A scheduled date for the public meeting to hear residents comments with respect to cable services and what is expected in the future will be discussed by Trustees Rettberg and Petri . This will be considered after it is determined by the Regional Group as to whether they are going to follow the formal procedure or try to follow the informal procedure for a period of months . The Regional Group also discussed statistics of the net effect in terms of the rate change under the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act . The consumers in the 5 network cable group: 44°s received an increase and 56k received a decrease . The Village application to the FCC to become a regulator in terms of the cost of the basic cable service has been sent to Washington. b.

NWMC TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE - DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT The committee met this morning, October 26, 1993 and discussed the following: 1 . The Municipal Conference is going to pass a resolution of support for the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) Employee Commute Option Program which the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said did not comply with their guidelines . The EPA identified several objections, their overriding concern seems to be with Illinois, definition of the average vehicle occupancy which is based on the vehicle occupancy rate of automobiles in northeastern Illinois . The US EPA wants transit commuters included as part of the options. Illinois feels the change would be unrealistic to target the employers because Illinois would penalized for having substantial transit service already in place. 2 .
