of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners this year. Those entities are:
Birmingham Community Television (on behalf of the Birmingham Area Cable Board)
Civic Center Media, LLC (on behalf of the Greater West Bloomfield Cable Communications

We are proposing that each of the entities produce and distribute coverage of one OCBC meeting at NO
cost to the Commission. The recordings will be provided to local governmental information channels in
each Oakland County city. township, and village for cablecasting at their discretion.
The partner communities ask that this proposal be considered and approved by the General Government

of Commissioners at its February 18 meeting. Given approval by both bodies, coverage would begin
with the March 3, 2010 Commission meeting.

Thanks again for your support of open and accessible government and your affirmation of the value of
