INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to forward a recommendation from the Cable TV Tele-
Programming Commission to approve a request for funding from the Capital Grant for Access
Equipment and Facilities.
BACKGROUND
The Capital Grant for Access Equipment and Facilities created by the cable franchise
agreement that went into effect on June 5, 2005, began FY08 with a balance of $285,721.
Quarterly adjustments and interest have added $22,771 this fiscal year. Currently there is a
balance to be awarded of $95,298.
At its meeting yesterday, the Commission recommended a grant of $4,500 from this fund for an
editing computer and hard-drive recorder for Wahlert High School; a copy of the grant
application is attached. This funding will facilitate the recording and editing of material for
Wahlert productions. The high school is a frequent contributor to shared educational access
channel 17.
RECOMMENDED ACTION

the City Council to receive, file, and approve. Thank you.
