The Vote: Unanimous Ayes. ' CATV FRANCHISE APPLICATIONS At the request of John Spann, counsel for Finer Living, Inc. , Item 10-A of the agenda was taken as the first item of business due to storm warnings that have been issued and an engineer, appearing at tonight's meeting, planned to return to Oregon as soon as possible. City Attorney Murphy reported four applications for CATV Franchise had been received prior to 5 P. M. -this date: Fine r Living, Inc. Western Cable TV Inc. ��� Victor Muscat, BSF Corp. TelePrompter Corp. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kriegsman, seconded by Councilman Denny that franchise applications be referred to the CATV Committee of the Council for study and report, and that the CATV Committee be instructed by the Council to place the franchise applications in a safe place and leave them unopened until 10:00 A. M. o'clock December 3, 1963, at which time they shall open the franchise applications in the Conference Room adjacent to the City Attorney's office and comxnence their . study and comparison of the applications for subsequent report to Council. I incorporate this requested instruction to the committee. so _that our franchise applications will not be opened and become public information prior to the closing date for submitting applications to the City of Chico, with whom, up till now, we have cooperated closely in the preparation of CATV franch�se ordinances and the establishment of appropriate c'�r.iteria for determining who shall be the successful applicant. John Spann stated throughout all the considerations on CATV the records would indicate that Finer Living, Inc. , and Sacramento Valley T. V. , Inc. , had been cooperative; at this time he would like to know the s_tatus of the applications. Was he right in his under- � . ��� standing that no other applications would be received or considered? � Further, he found it difficult to understand why the Redding City Council deferred their decision for Chico - why their decision hinged on what another City does. He was, aware of the argument that one applicant could do the job at less expense and better, however he was not certain of this. The December 2nd deadline for Chico was only a suggested deadline - it was not certain what , action would be taken at their meeting to be held on the 19th. Councilmen concurred no further applications for CATV franchise would be received or considered, and City Attorney Murphy advised no requests for an extension of time had been received as a result of the letter sent to interested parties under date of November 8th asking the inclusion of additional information in their bid. Councilman Kriegsman informed Mr. Spann it was felt if all the applications and bids were made public record it might influence the applications and bids to be received by Chico and in the two week period it would allow the bidders to revise their bids; by waiting two weeks only, we feel we are more fair not only to the Chico area but the Redding area. Although he understood Mr. Spannts consternation, , delay was the better way. City Attorney Murphy� stressed that councilmen were not delegating their responsibility, but only that they were willingto work cooperatively with the City of Chico. Voting was as follows: �yf��� Ayes: Councilmen - Denny, Kriegsman, Moty and Martin Noes: Councilmen - None Absent: Councilmen - Chatfield � .�z John Spann spoke of previous discussions regarding the provisions that Channel 7 transmit on Channel 7, Channel 12 on 12 and .the fact that Sacramento Valley TV had urged it was important for Stations to keep their identity, and of the letter that had been received from Western Cable TV saying there we.re technical ob- jections to this. That Mr. Ed Malone, from Oregon, had a solution that was vital to the Sacramento Valley TV and to Mr. Smullin. _ - � _ �: _ , , . . Mr, Ed Malone, Chief Engineer:from Medford, Oregon, part owner of Pacific Teletronics andtEngineer for Channel 5, Medford, Oreg:on and a radio station in Grants Pass, Oregon, advised having any channel transmit on any other channel was common practice and that at the present time several companies were making this equipment. Considering the overall costs, this would be a very minor item of cost. City Attorney Murphy spoke of his telephone conversation with Mr. Snyder of Tele- Prompter who had stated a letter would follow explaining in.further :detail the problems that would axaise if Channel 7 transmitted on Channel 5 or below that number which would require single conversion only, but that transmission on Channel 6 would require two conversions. The letter had not arrived. He then explained the bids were bids on the probability the franchise ordinance would be amended. COMMUNICA TION5 � Redding Redevelopment Agency . Robert Hill, Chairman of the Redding Redevelopment Agency, advised their agency had recommended that City Council submit a letter to the Housing and Home Finance Agency stating its intention to request a recertification���� 3 of the Workable Progra�n for the City of Redding; further, the terms of Robert I�ill.and R.

The General Plan as it affected this particular area did riot's��em to be �presently � desirable and you eould not afford to delay the growth of the City during the time it' takes to bring the Master Plan to date. 455 Councilman.Moty. stated after talking with Planning Director Keyes he had come to the conclusion identical with Couneilman Kriegsman; that the Planning Commission should be given time to submit their recommendations for relief of subject area. Motion seconded by Councilman Moty: , . , Joe Curto advised Mr. Orsini has a pending sale of property, dependent upon rezoning;, that up to, this time he had been unable to sell due to the drainage ditch running through his property. Delay would materially affect him. John Orsini asked if this action taken tonight meant all zonings would be held up, or just his, pending revision of the Master Plan. Cit.y Attorney Murphy. adv�sed if application for rezoning had evidence it was urgent and immediate action was necessary, action could be taken, otherwise Plarining Commission should recommend denial until the Master Plan was r .updated. However, under the 5tate Planning Act Council could institute / y. interim zoning that was good for one year only, to be reviewed by Council mandatorily each year, � Voting was a.s follows: . .
