and procedures in order to approve the Central St. Croix Joint Cable Commission's 1998
budget. ` They would like to discuss this issue at the January 13, 1998 Council meeting.
If you could please send this information to City Hall, I would appreciate it. If you have
- . any questions, please do not hesitate to call. Thank you and happy holidays.
Very truly yours,
Melanie Mesko

To: Melanie Mesko, Administrative Intern
From: Karen Wandmacher, Valley Access Channels
I returned from vacation Monday, January 12th. 1 am faxing you the
information you requested so it will be available for the January 13th
meeting.
I have included a copy of the Corporation's 1998 budget and the current
grant policy that has been in effect since 1991. I believe it is important to
know that the grant monies are not part of the operating budget as they are
received from private foundations and used to promote public access to
television in our community.
The board is in the process of updating the current grant policy and making
a few minor changes to the grant application. The final draft will be
presented at the January 20th Valley Access Channels Board meeting.
Putting the grant information in your newsletter would bo a great idea.
Producing television programming is very time consuming. It takes work
and out of pocket expenses. Having grant monies available to the public for
programming of community interest can be an incentive.
If the City Council is interested in the final grant policy and would like some
applications available at City Hall. please let me know.
Please contact me at 430-0074 if you have any questions or would like more
Plea Y
information about public access to television.
