Mayor Froberg explained that the PSO position would be funded by contributions from each city in the same amount as each city is presently paying for Municipal and Private Services Incorporated (MAPSI). If a member city wishes to contribute more than that amount, they may do so at their own discretion. If one city does not contribute to the position, the position does not exist.

CABLE COMMUNICATIONS: The City Council, Attorney Larson, Sandy Brunton, and Chris Donaldson discussed at length the proposed Joint Powers Agreement establishing the Lake Minnetonka Cable Communications Commission. Councilman Leonardo expressed four major concerns that he has with the present Joint Powers Agreement. They are: 1] That the yearly expenditures of the Commission should not exceed the Franchise Fees collected annually by the Commission. 2] That the Commission's start-up budget should have a cap, and that cap should be equal to the sum of the initial contribu- tion of the member cities. 3] That the Commission should not have to travel out-of-state to investigate the operations of other cable systems. 4] That the Franchise Fees collected by the Commission should first be used to repay the initiation costs of the member cities. e . . e SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING - 2 - August 30, 1982 Councilman Leonardo moved, Haugen seconded, to accept the Joint Powers Agreement only if the other member cities agreed to changes in the a~ree- ment that stipulated the four concerns expressed.
