CASE <br /> <br />ADOPT RESOLUTION AMENDING THE JOINT AND COOPERATIVE POWERS <br />AGREEMENT WITH QUAD CITIES CABLE COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION <br />By: James E. Norman, City Administrator <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Quad Cities Cable Communications Commission has for some time been dealing with and <br />discussing the merits regarding the matter of leasing or purchasing and owning a studio/office <br />facility. This issue wa~ prompted by the fact that the Commission has been operating without a <br />studio and has maximized its current leased office space. Recently, the Commission voted <br />unanimously to seek authorization from its various member City Councils to be granted <br />permission to issue a municipal revenue bond sufficient to construct a government/community <br />production building. All directors on the Cable Commission are in agreement that the owning of <br />an asset is more cost-effective than leasing property. <br /> <br />A resolution has been drafted for consideration by each member city that would amend the <br />current Joint Powers Agreement to authorize the Commission to issue bonds for the purpose of <br />purchasing Real property and constructing a new studio/office facility. The rest)lution also <br />slightly modifies the process for member cities to withdraw from the Joint Powers Commission. <br /> <br />Terry O'Connoll, the Franchise Administrator will be on hand at the Council meeting to discuss <br />the proposed amendment to the Joint and Cooperative Powers Agreement. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff is recommending adoption of the resolution. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br />City Attorney <br /> <br />CC: 05/22/01 <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Motion to adopt Resolution #01-05~XXX amending the Joint and Cooperative Powers <br />Agreement proposed by the Quad Cities Cable Communications Co~nission. <br /> <br />-113- <br /> <br /> <br />
