Summary

Staff reported PTMTV has roughly $8,000 remaining in its trust and recommended the nonprofit write to the city council to request distribution of the remaining funds to clear bills as PTMTV looks to streamline operations.

Staff told the commission that PTMTV remains active but lean and that much of its equipment is stored at the high school; the PTMTV trust balance is low and staff recommended the organization seek distribution from the city council to settle outstanding bills.

"There's only about $8,000 in the trust," the staff liaison said, and recommended PTMTV write to the city council requesting the distribution of remaining funds rather than pursuing a committee-level allocation. Staff said the trust will continue to receive diminishing franchise-fee payments and may be terminated if receipts fall below a minimum threshold, in which case PTMTV would need to pursue independent fundraising.
