D'Acquisto stated his reasons for bringing forward: receiving input putting together the necessary chain of command regarding cable TV from other entities to be presented during contract negotiations and programming. Molter stated it needs to be determined exactly what the Board would do. This will not be like the Library or Parks and Rec Boards which are governed by state statute. D'Acquisto stated as board would handle those matters with the Council having final opposed to Public Services Committee handling cable matters, this authority. Mayor stated a department head is still needed to administer. Pionek stated he prefers a committee to work on the upcoming contract rather than a permanent board and have Public Services continue to review general cable matters. D'Acquisto recommends the Board be involved in the contract negotiations. Mayor stated the input from the other entities is important but does not expressed concerns about establishing a free standing Board; he support other representatives negotiating the contract. Patterson prefers the establishment of a subcommittee under the direction of Public Services Committee. There is risk if this is not under the City's control. Molter recommends joining a consortium and hiring a cable consultant to seriously negotiate. Patterson suggested creating a subcommittee to do research and bring back recommendations. Mayor stated recommendations made by subcommittees, following months of work, are not always accepted by the Council. Mayor also advised that there is the issue of time being available to schedule additional City; the City holds the liability bag. Sanders stated this is not meetings. Molter expressed concerns about control being far from the clear. If policies need to be set up or problems exist, let Public Services address. Salentine stated you are mixing up cable board with contract negotiations. She sees the Board reporting to the Council and possibly being comprised of 3 citizens, a school rep and an Common Council Minutes April 8, 1997 Page 4 alderperson. She does not see the board negotiating the contract. D'Acquisto clarified that it was not his intent that this Board would negotiate the contract but provide input.
