The VHF spectrum must be used for the provision of at least one (1) of the PEG Access Channels. Nothing herein shall diminish the City's rights to secure additional channels pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 238.084, Subd. 1(z), and applicable FCC regulations. b. Responsibility for PEG Access. The City will operate, administer, and manage PEG Access programming pursuant to this Section 4.2. The City will be responsible for the channel currently used for public access programming. The City may delegate its PEG Access authority and responsibilities to the Commission. FiberNet acknowledges that the Commission may coordinate the expenditure of Franchise Fees and PEG Capital Fees by and among the Commission's member municipalities. Nothing herein shall obligate the City to make equipment or channels available for public access programming or to any particular programmer. c. Narrowcast. If in the future FiberNet serves areas outside the City, at least one (1) PEG Access Channel must permit the City to provide "narrowcast" programming of events; i.e. permits a program to be cablecast on such channel for viewing solely by City residents while residents in adjoining townships or cities served by FiberNet simultaneously view other programming on that channel. This provision may be waived by the City if FiberNet provides sufficient channels to allow all served areas to view all programmed events. • d. Live Origination. FiberNet must ensure that live programming may be originated and cablecast from the public institutional sites listed in Exhibit A attached hereto provided however, that FiberNet shall only be required to pay the cost of the first one hundred and fifty (150) feet of any new system construction necessary to permit live origination at such site and shall not be required to provide end-user equipment. The City may designate additional live programming sites. The City shall pay any additional, actual construction costs prior to additional construction and shall be responsible for the provision of end- user equipment. FiberNet must ensure that the system meets the technical standards attached hereto as Exhibit B at all live origination sites. FiberNet must further ensure that the City can "narrowcast" programming originated from all of the sites designated pursuant to this paragraph unless FiberNet provides sufficient channels to allow all served areas to view all programmed events. e. PEG Access Capital Support. In addition to the requirements of Section 4.2(a)-(d) above, the City may require FiberNet to collect and remit a PEG Capital Fee of up to eighty-five cents ($.85) per subscriber, per month to support community programming. FiberNet shall remit such payments on the same schedule as the Franchise Fee. All amounts paid shall be subject to audit and recomputation and acceptance thereof does not constitute an accord that amounts paid are correct. FiberNet must be notified in writing on or before October 1st of the amount of the PEG Capital Fee to be effective on January 1St • City of Monticello Ordinance 514 5
