Cable Television - Request for Franchise Wm. D. Elkins, Western Regional Manager of TelePrompter Corp. , Eugene, Oregon, advised they wished to apply for a franchise to install and operate a community antenna television system in Redding, � . . The let�er states that a number of their systems carry Educational Television in �he form of ETV s.tations or origination in the local schools.with distri- bution over their, cables. . _ Councilman Krieg;sman stated a meeting had been held this morning with the � ,� 'City Attorney, City Aqanager, George O'Brien, Pacific Gas and Electric :� �",� _ � �;�.C#omgany, .t�§,rea 4members, of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company, ' . Gene .Dais.and Councilman Denny in attendance. It was their thinking the ��� first phase would'be the development of an ordinance befpre any negotiations were carried on for a franchise with the applicants; the second phase would be to negotiate,through committee to get the most advantageous contract for . the City. He outlined the use of poles jointly owned by the City with the P. G. & E. ' and poles jointly owned by the City with P. T. and T. , 'advising there were two alternatives; leasing the lines and service, or a lease based on poles 358 owned by the applicants for their own lines. This would require maintenance crews to handle this cable, and leasing the line s from the P. T. and T. was � more advantageous•to the City. Councilman Kriegsman suggested the City Attorney draft an ordinance based on the Watsonville ordinance with certain modifications to make it applicable for Redding. Mayor Martin stated the mayor of Chico had asked him, or a representative, to attend a conference to be held in Chico in August; that it would be.well if Chico, Marysville, Red Bluff and Redding work in concert; that the County, too, should be included in any discussion group. City Manager Cowden stated he had talked with the two applicants and it was their opinion the cost of using the P. T. and T. lines would be too high. The line charge from San Francisco to Chico would be approximately $7000 to $7500 per month and they hoped to do this for about $2000 by building their own line system, cable to be of sufficient capacity to carry - � as many channels as there are positions on the dial. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kriegsman, seconded by Councilman Denny ' to instruct the City Attorney to draft an ordinance for first reading at the next council meeting. The Vote: Unanimous ayes. � Mr. Fred Marler, speaking from the floor, advised that he and Mrs.. Reynolds, Chairman of the Northern California Educational T. V. As soc�iati�on, and representing educational t. v. , were quite concerned with these applications from an educational viewpoint. This would raise a grave problem on the duplication of service and reduce their chances for finding financial supportA. . That it would, no doubt, kill their chances for a locally operated and owned station. They were of the opinion an educational station locally owned and � operated would be better than a station from San Francisco as,the programs would be more flexible and.the supplemental material so necessary would be available as required. Asked about the financing, Mr. Marler stated a major portion.of the funds would be pledged from Counties participating and purchasing in-school telecasting time based on -their daily attendance. It was stressed they pl�nned to operate a non-commercial educational• channel. Report on Pending Legislation .� ,� Z City Attorney Murphy reported that A.
