Mr. Ken Downes, City's Cable TV Franchisee addressed Cable TV
Council reporting on current status of City's Cable TV Report
program. He stated the preliminary telephone company
pole agreement has been completed. He feels that it
would be best to establish system all at one time rather
than piecemeal. He is still confident that the system
will be operational by the end of this calendar year.
Major problems encountered revolve around legislation
changes relative to taxation, which in turn cause
financing problems.
In response to a question from Council regarding redlining,
he answered that redlining as defined, is not involved
'in this case. The problem here is the proximity of Azusa
to Los Angeles and its many media outlets.
In response to another question from Council relative
to possibility of power failure and availability of
adequate personnel to restore service, he answered he
has plans for adequate personnel resources.
Council then asked Director of Public Works of possibility
of either City developing and operating its own system,
or finding another franchisee. Director of Public Works
reported negative results over a period of time in search-
ing for, and finding, other companies who would be
willing to operate the City's Cable TV system. Mr.
Downe's company is the only one prepared to undertake the
necessary operation.
