Mayor White called the meeting to order and asked City Manager
Webb to report on Cable T.V.
City Manager Webb introduced Mr. Carl Pilnick, President of
Telecommunications Management Corporation. He said that Mr.
Pilnick and his company have been retained to assist the
City in the franchising processes for Cable T.V.
Mr. Pilnick explained the necessary steps and procedures
for selecting a Cable TV Company for the City. He spoke
about the need for the passage of a regulatory Ordinance,
bid packages, proposales, bond securities, and the importance
of enforcement provisions in the agreement. Mr. Pilnick
also gave examples of different uses for Cable TV and
said that the franchise agreement would have a 15year
term. Cable service could start as soon as 1985.
In response to Council questions, Mr. Pilnick said that the
state laws favor the cable TV companies and it would be
difficult for the City not to renew a company franchise
agreement after the 15 year term. He also responded that
he wi11 provide the City with a written report which wi11
discuss pros and cons of the issue, include a draft ordinance,
request for proposal package and franchise agreement. This
information will inform Council what protection the City
will have.
Mr. Pilnick said there wi11 be a minimum requirement included
in the request for proposals requiring the company to have a
studio facility usually a mobile van) plus a business office
located in the City of Baldwin Park. He also explained cable
connections, On-TV and over the air frequencies, and the
different companies that other cities are using for Cable TV
service.
Mayor White then asked if anyone in the audience would like
to speak on the Cable TV subject.
Leo Lowe, 3302 Patritti was concerned about the assurance
that after 15 years the agreement would have a cut off
should the City not want to renew the contract. Mr. Pilnick
said the city would have no obligation to renew, but it
would be difficult to get the company out.
Mayor White said if Council decides in several years they
don't want the service any more they can change it and
