CABLE TV COMMITTEE - TRUSTEE PETRI & RETTBERG The Regional Cable TV Committee met on November 11 , 1993 and discussed the following: 1 . Renewal of the Franchise Agreement with Continental Cablevision - The Committee is in the early stages of that process, basically the public assessment portion. Elk Grove Village as well as the other communities involved will be conducting a public hearing date which has yet to be announced. The hearings must be concluded by March 1, 1993 . A questionnaire will be developed so that the assessment throughout the communities will have some consistency in terms of what questions are asked as far the public interests and what the citizens want from Cable Television and what the service has been up to now in terms of reception, content and programming. 2 . Channel 6 (Elk Grove Park District) has notified the communities that with respect to local access television the rates that the Elk Grove Park 5 11-23-93 District has been charging would increase by almost double the previous rate . The rate increase from the Park District was based upon a study that they did which shows that the cost of production was not anywhere near the $33 . 00 that was being charged but up near the $70 . 00 range . This provoked some of the member communities of the Cable TV Group and at least one community stated that if this is the case they will opt out of the Channel 6 programming and go on a stand alone system. There had been no indication from the Park District that they were considering that size of an increase . The Park District feels that they are bearing a disproportionate share of the production costs and also that Elk Grove Village is contributing a greater proportion of the cost to the station for the operation of the Community Television, that should be shared with the other communities . 3 . Trustee Petri and Trustee Rettberg will be meeting with the Elk Grove Park District Cable TV Committee on Wednesday, November 24 , 1993 and among the things that will be discussed will be this situation with Channel 6 and the possibility of the other cable communities opting out and see if there is something that can be done to prevent this from happening; and a proposal from Ray Broderick, Principal of Elk Grove High School to run an informational video on the positive aspects of the High School and its roll in the community. b.
