that the City recently changed vendors from Adelphia to Times Warner and was now
running live broadcasts of City Council Meetings. The City Public Access Channels are:
Cox Communication, Channel 19; Times Warner, Channel 24. The City does have the
capability to run a rolling calendar of events on the two Public Access Channels; however,
currently there are neither funds nor staff to provide the service.
C. Discussion on Revenue Generators
Commissioner Folescu reported on potential arts revenue generators for the Commission.
Discussion ensued and the Commission determined that this issue would be best

Additionally, policy issues would need to be addressed before embarking on such a
venture.
