Gary DATE: October 16, 1984 FILE: City Manager SUBJECT: Resolution Appointing the Panel of Arbi- trators for Cable S�lgarkZMe rill Television Penalties FROM: Assistant to the City Manager for REFERENCES: Intergovernmental Affairs/Cable ENCLOSURES: Resolution "It is recommended that the attached Resolution formalizing the appoint- ment of a panel of cable television arbitrators and allocating funds to support their activities be pre- sented to the City Commission for their approval." On October 10, 1984, the City Commission passed Ordinance No. 9915 establishing a new process for assessing penalties against the cable licensee for alleged violations against the Cable License Ordinance. By Motion M84-977 the City Commission, i on September 20, 1984 appointed Marshall Harris, Hannibal Cox, and Rev. Anthony Ramos to serve as a panel of arbitrators who would hear and consider all recommendations of the City Manager for the assessment of penalties against the cable television licensee. Under this process, it is preferable that the Administration maintain an arms length approach in providing the staff support _a to the panel of cable arbitrators. In order to accomplish this, I am recommending that the staff be selected by and report to the panel of arbitrators. Office space and administrative support for that person can be provided by the City, or the panel can make appropriate arrangements, using the funds allocated. CM/mmm ? .k' Encl. 84-1289 RALPH G.
