'fhe Rosemount Jaycees, in 3n effort to pr�vide service to
the communityt would like to donate �15 , 000 to the City of
Rosernount to be used for the transmissian of community
information through the Star Cablevision cable system in the
City of Rosemount .
The Jaycees would Zike to offer these funds from their
charitable gaming money for use by the City as star[er funds
to promote the community ' s efforts and activities by using
cable television .
The Jaycees realize that currently there is no local
government channel for the City of Rosemount . We know that
the cable franchise agreement alTows the City to request this
channel . It is hoped that the �15 , 000 can be used to get started
_ _ _ , _
on the local government channel . The Jaycess would like to
see the City televise governmental meetings and to provide
a "bulletin board" service. The funds can be used to
purchase a computer , software , and to operate a basic bulletin �
board service or be included with City funds to do a complete
cable telsvision system. The basic bulietin board coul:d provide
current information about local events , activies , and City
meetings and rimes . Access to this bulletin board would be
open to all organizations in the community to promote their
efforts.
