structure of the access to this channel. Trustee Berman is still not convinced that the document as drafted reflects
the necessary intention for the Village to be determining what programming goes on to Channel 6;he wants the
policy to clearly state that the Village determines what programming goes on Channel 6,and no one other than the
Village has a right to determine or to place any programming on to Channel 6,and he is not yet convinced that this
document provides that protection.
Mr.Raysa stated that he is not prepared to present any language revisions tonight.
Trustees Trilling and Kahn amended the motion to recommend deferral until the next Village Board meeting. Upon
voice vote,the motion was unanimously declared carried.
