Expansion of the Initial Board of
Directors of the Miami Cable Access
Corporation (MCAC) from Five to
Seven Members
"I recommend that the attached resolution be
presented to the City Commission for their
approval to expand the Miami Cable Access
Corporation (11CAC) Initial Board of Direc-
tors from five (5) to seven (7) members to
include a representative from the Miami -
Dade Community College and the Dade County
School System and to formalize the method
of appointment."
On April 1,.1,32, the City Commission adopted resolution number 82-303 which estab-
lished the Initial, Board of Directors for the MCAC. The attached resolution expands
the initi,dl board of the MCAC from 5 to 7 members to include representation from the
Dade County Superintendent of Public Schools and the Miami -Dade Community College.
The Miami -Dade Community College and the Dade County Public School system have made
a substantial commitment to the education and training of persons who choose tele-
vision and cable television programming and technology as a career. The Dade County
Public School system is in the process of developing a $7 million facility which can
produce local programming and train local citizens in the use of television Equip-
ment. This facility is located in the heart of Miami in the new Anna Brenner Meyers
Educational Telecommunications Center at 172 N.E. 15th Street. The availability of
this television communications facility will expand the capability to provide local
origination and public access programming.
This resolution also provides for the appointment of the Initial Board of Directors
by the City Commission, once the institutions to be represented have identified the
person whom they recommend to serve on the Board. This process should be completed
prior to the June 24, 1982 Commission meeting.
