Mr. William Craig
City Manager

Hopkins, MN 55343
Dear Bill:
The Southwest Suburban Cable Commission adopted a
proposed budget for 1982 and 1983 at their meeting
on August 18, 1982. The Joint Powers Agreement be-
tween the five cities indicates that the budget pro
cess for 1982 and 1983 are as follows: Chapter XI,
Section 7, A. Budget Process for Balance of 1982,
"Within 30 'days after the effective date of this
Agreement, the Commission shall prepare and submit
to the Parties a budget for the balance of 1982.
This budget shall become effective upon approval
by a majority of the Parties. B. Budget Process
for Subsequent Years. "A proposed budget for sub-
sequent years shall be formulated and approved by
the Commission and submitted to the Parties on or
before August 1 of each year. No budget shall become
effective unless approved by resolution of the Councils
of a majority of the Parties. If any Council approves
a proposed budget prior to notice having been received
by its Directors of the withdrawal of any Party
(which may be done by notice given prior to October 1
of any year) that approval shall not be binding on
that Party, but that Council may reconsider such prior
approval of the budget. All parties shall.endeavor
to approve the proposed budget on or before November
of each year. If the budget is not approved, the
commission shall promptly formulate a revised budget
and submit it to the Parties for their review and
approval. This process shall be continued until a
budget is approved. The Parties shall use their best
efforts to approve a budget for the then succeeding
year by December 31 of each year."
The Southwest Suburban Cable Commission has proposed
a•budget for 1982 in the amount of $35,210, with the
telephon 869 -7521 (612)
an equal opportunity employer
detail of the expenditures and revenues as indicated on the attached
statement. In addition, the Southwest Suburban Cable Commission has
proposed a budget for 1983 of $58,214 with detail of expenditures
and revenues as shown on the attached statement.
It is necessary for a majority of the parties to approve both the
1982 and 1983 budgets. The 1982 budget needs to be approved as soon
as possible with the 1983 budget to be approved by November 1, 1982.
To that end, I would request that you have your city councils give
consideration to approval of the 1982 budget in the near future. It
is necessary for us to have approval of that budget prior to hiring
a cable coordinator.
If you have any questions concerning the process please feel free
to contact me.
Sincerely yours,
Karl Nollenberger
