CALL TO ORDER - ROLL CALL II. ACCEPTANCE OF MINUTES OF FEBRUARY 23, 1982. III. CABLE TV INTERCONNECTION COOPERATION MENMENEW A Task Force of member communities of the Northwest Municipal Conference has been working for sometime on the methods and procedures whereby member communities can design future cooperation levels with Cable TV. Currently, two basic proposals are under study and the Conference will be seeking direction from its member municipalities by March 26. The first alternative, referred to as Level 1, would be an independent intergovernmental group whose membership would be open to the entire Conference. The group would be staffed by Conference personnel and fees would be levied against the participating communities. At this level, it is anticipated that the total program would cost $22,200 forthe first year and Mount Prospect's share would be $1,700. The specific objective at this Level would be coordination in communication between the various companies and municipalities in the Northwest Municipal Conference with special focus on system interconnection and overall programming. The other alternative, referred to as Level'll, would also provide an independent intergovernmental agency whose membership would be limited to those communities with the same contract and franchisee. This agency, therefore, focuses upon communities with the same Cable TV system. The agency could be staffed by the Conference with costs of staffing passed on to the member municipalities and it is estimated that the first year's cost would be $28,750 with Mount Prospect's share being $3,700. Enclosed are various documents drafted to outline the objective and procedures of the various levels. The tendency now appears that the member municipalities generally are supporting Level 1 in that it provides the broadest base participation and coordination when compared to Level 11. Eventually, in order to demonstrate our desire to participate, we will have to adopt an Ordinance, which is also enclosed as a draft from the Northwest Municipal Conference. IV. NORTHWEST MUNICIPAL CONFERENCE -TAXI CAB STUDY Over a year ago, the Village of Mount Prospect initiated some meetings with adjoining communities to discuss possible taxi cab deregulation or, at the minimum, better coordination of services and rates for our sub -region. These purposes were substantiated in a report prepared by the Chicago area Transportation Study, CATS, and through a number of presentatations attended by representatives of CATS, the taxi cab industry, municipalities and the Northwest Municipal Conference, it was decided to pursue the idea on a voluntary basis with the efforts coordinated by the Northwest Municipal Conference. In December of 1981, the Conference prepared a proposed Ordinance, a copy of which is enclosed. Patrick Luehring, our Director of Health Services, has been the staff liaison person assigned to this task and he will be available at the meeting to discuss the salient features of the Ordinance. The major questions to be resolved are whether or not to join in a cooperative effort to standardize our local. regulations on taxis and whether or not to establish standard region -wide focus or move to some form of fare deregulation. These matters are presented for your review and information only and no specific decision is required at this time. V. 1982-1983 BUDGET Staff will be prepared to review with the Board the budgets covering Community Development and the Health Department. This will include pages 50 thru 67. VI. MANAGER'S REPORT 1.
