Sherburne/Wright County Cable Communications Commission Policy on Access and Appointment of New Commission Representative The City Administrator indicated that he would like the City Council to consider a policy on cable communications access and an appointment to replace him on the cable commission. The City Administrator indicated that a committee has been formed regarding cable communications access. The City Administrator indicated that orig- inally it was proposed that there would be one central studio located in Buffalo. The City Administrator further indicated that the committee has now determined that use must be readily available and therefore, it would be better to be decentral- ized through the cable communications system. The City Administrator indicated that the City of Elk River is very interested in the decentralization as the City of Elk River is located on the far edge of the system and yet is the biggest city and school district. The City Administrator indicated that as part of the decentral- ization, a small studio could be established at the school and further indicated that the City and School both support the decentralization.
