The CP's time will be divided as follows: Village projects (50%); the MPPD (25%); and Library projects (25%). C. The CP will meet with officials from the MPPD and the Library on a regular basis to determine what types of programming are to be produced. The CP will provide a written report of such meetings to the Village Cable Production Coordinator. Programming produced for the MPPD and Library will be scheduled by MPTV to coordinate with municipal programming as much as possible, but Village programming will remain first priority.

By entering into this agreement, each Party acknowledges its willingness to annually budget the necessary funds to cover their assigned portion of the costs. Other governmental entities who provide services to the Village residents may petition the Village for inclusion in this agreement. The Village may permit such additional participation provided that service to the MPPD and Library will not be diminished.
