MOUNT PROSPECT CABLE COMMISSION
MARCH 15, 1984
I. ROLL CALL
Commission Chairman John Coleman called the meeting to
order at 7:30 p.m., in the Trustees' Room of the Village
Hall. Present at the meeting were: John Coleman,
Michaele Skowron and John Bowman, Administrative
Assistant to the Village Manager. Members absent include
John Rogers, John Ruckstatter and Mary Wajer.
II. MINUTES
There being no quorum, approval of the Minutes of the
February 9 meeting will be deferred to a future meeting.
III. OLD BUSINESS
Chairman Coleman distributed the following items for
discussion: A draft letter to non-profit organization
members, application form and guidelines for production
grants from the Center for New Television, application
and guidelines for a grant program from the City of
Evanston and a sample agreement for public access project
grant award. Commission members continued their discussion
on possible criteria for a grant program, looking
specifically at the examples presented. The application
form from the City of Evanston appeared to be most
adaptable to Mount Prospect and was used as a guide for
discussions.
Chairman Coleman suggested that the budget summary in
the Evanston form does not provide sufficient detail on
expenses and income, and the Mount Prospect Commission
may want to request more detailed information froman
applicant. Commissioner Skowron suggested that the
sub -headings be clarified and include examples. It was
noted that the more information that is requested, the
better the applicant will know the project and the quality
will be enhanced.
Other items discussed include the stage of production,
the application procedures, support material, review
procedures and timetable and eligibility. Also discussed
was the issue of project follow-up and feedback from
the applicants.
IV. NEW BUSINESS
The Commission members discussed the spring conference,
"Building Community Television," sponsored by NFLCP.
embers expressing a desire to attend include: John
Coleman, Michaels Skowron and Mary Wajer. Conference
information will be sent to the Commission members not
present so that they may also consider attending.
V. ADJOURNMENT

Thursday of the month, the Commission agreed to meet
again on Thursday, April 5 for a special meeting. The
Cable Commission meeting adjourned at 10:00 p.m.
