H. Warren Anderson, Arcadia' Community Church of God. Mayor Robert J. Considine Present: . Councilmen Arth, Butterworth,_ Forman, Rage, Considine Absent: None The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of February 20 and the Adjourned Regular Meeting of February 26 were APPROVED on' MOTION by Councilman Hage, seconded by Councilman Arth and carried unanimously, Due to the large number of persons in attendance1expressing an interest in an extension of the April 6 deadline for the removal of business signs, Council considered t~e matter out of,agenda sequence. For the record, be it noted that requests for an extension had been received from: <!.'~:"" 'i "It l Walter Gockley, Chairman,ad hoc committee, for sign ordinance'revisions "..J . .,: James Harvey, President, Chamber of C~~~r~~, L. E. Beauchamp, President, West Arcadia Business and Professional Association C. L. Hoke, President, Huntington M~ors, Inc' '-, Mr. Gockley advised that suggestions have been. prepared and are, " ; ready for submission at any time so designated by the City Council. It was the consensus of the Council'that they be presented formally to the Planning Commission at its next regular meeting and that an extension of 120 days from thi's date be granted. ,It was noted by Mayor, Considine that the City Council is not specifically", indicating at this time that it will change the sign ordinance, but is anxious to review the recommendations and those forthcoming from the Planning Commission; that they will be given every consideration. The 120 day extension is approximately 90 days beyond the April 6 deadline. At, the Council meeting of February 26, representatives of the two firms which had submitted proposals for a city franchise on a community antenna installation presented detailed accounts of service and rates. Council indicated concern as to the reaction of said companies to a proposa'l protecting customers in the event of discontinuation of service, either at the instigation of the company or the city, to protect,the residents while a new - 1 - 3-5-68 18:7199 franchise organization was being selected; the second concern, which applies primarily to the Foothill Cable TV Corporation, was that the cash offered to the city might be of less interest to the city than a reduction in the charges to be made. Council asked the officials of the corporation to meet with city staff to discuss these two points. The City Manager advised that Foothill had offered two reductions in rates; 1) the charge for an underground connection reduced from $39.95 to $19.95 and 2) reduction in the monthly service charge for an additional outlet in a residence from $2 to $1 per month. The company had also submitted a proposal which in I' effect would allow the city, in the event of discontinuance of service,to continue the operation for up to 9 months during which period a new franchise organization would be selected. He also noted that the representative of the other firm, International Cable TV, had indicated a willingness to accept such a provision. National TV Cable was also contacted in like manner. He continued that reactions had been received from persons now being served who are satisfied with their service and object to an increase in rate. He suggested notifying these persons when proceedings reach the public hearing stage. Dan Jones, owner and operator of the Arcadia TV Company at 129 E. Huntington Drive, stated in part. that ~is interest was purely personal in that he feels that the residents are entitled to the best television reception possible; tRat he had checked with his.. service department, which sends servicemen into hundreds of homes each week, and has been told that without doubt, Foothill TV at the present time are giving the best service, better pictures with less interruptiqn, with more channels and that its customers are satisfied. He concluded,by stating that he was not connected with any cable company in any, way. The representative of the International Cable TV was handed a copy of the proposed franchise agreement and studied it briefly. He referred to the condition concerning default and read in full a letter addressed to Mayor Considine &etting forth that should his company be awarded the franchise and in the event it was declared in default of the provisions, it would give the city immediate possession of all of the facilities which it had installed within the city, and would immediately execute any and all documents necessary to make the transfer and if it were using a head-in location outside the city it would furnish uninterrupted high quality signal to the city free of charge for one year; transfer would be without payment or any considera- tion whatsoever to the company by the city. Rates were then explored by International - the underground installation rate remains at $5.95 and it was noted that in the original proposal their charge for an additional outlet was 75~, a difference of I 25~ from Foothill. Areas now being served were enumerated and it was stated in part that the basis of rate is determined by the number of subscribers; that said company is in a position to service large numbers of customers in San Gabriel Valley and consequently its rates will be lower. Emphasis was placed by the representative on the willingness and ability to render high quality service and the award of ,the franchise to his company was requested. The Vice President of the Foothill TV Cable Company, nn answer to an inquiry, stated in part that his. company would be willing to abide by any language set forth in the agreement and would guarantee continuation of service in the event of default as a protection to subscribers against sudden loss of service for a 3-5-68 - 2 - 18:7200 period of some months. Although a remote possibility, he commented that if the city could not get another franchisee during the nine month period, the city would have to buy the system - as distinguished from the offer made by International. In answer to a query concerning the posBibility of lowering the rates should a large number of subscribers be obtained, it was stated that this is an unknown entity; that it has been the history of the business that services continue to be added and the rates are not normally increased. It was also noted that the rates would be controlled by the city. 1 William Jackson, 1934 Wilson Avenue, stated in part that he was extremely anKious to receive the best possible service and as soon as possible; that he would be willing to pay more with the guarantee of quality service. Ed Hawkins, 1966 A1ta Oaks Drive, referred to underground utilities and Mayor Considine advised that all new subdivisions are required to install underground utilities; that hopefully in due time all would be so constructed. Mr. Hawkins concluded by ,asking for the best service available. Mayor Considine then asked for the individual views of the Councilmen. Councilman Butterworth stated in part that council owes it to the community to arrive at some conclusion; that the residents are interested in quality and although the monthly charge pro- posed by both companies is the same, from the evidence presented he would favor awarding the franchise to Foothill TV Cable Corporation. Councilman Hage agreed; and commented that it was a difficult decision to make; that he was not influenced by the company which would ultimately have the. lowest rates nor which is the largest; that he is more concerned with the quality of service which is really all one has on which to base a decision. Councilman Arth stated in part that the only basic difference between the two companies is the 25~ or $3 per year difference in the additional outlet charge; that he leaned toward International because sufficient evidence has not been shown to him otherwise; that in some minor checking the service has been satisfactory. 1 Councilman Forman observed that action taken at this meeting would only provide for the holding of a public hearing; that regardless of what company is named in the resolution, a change could be made by Council after the hearing depending on the evidence produced at that time as to quality and the like; that persons actually receiving service at the present time will have an opportunity to speak. He had no objection to either company being so named, in the resolution. Mayor Considine in presenting his views stated in part that it must be assumed at this time that both companies are capable of quality service; that the charge difference is minor; that he was influenced somewhat by residents testifying as to high quality of Foothill and the fact that Foothill is already serving the city with a reasonable fee. It was then MOVED by Councilman Butterworth that the franchise for community antenna television installation and operation be awarded to H & B Communications Corporation, a California Corporation doing business under the name and style of Foothill TV Cable Co (said corporation being a wholly owned subsidiary of 3-5-68 - 3 - HEARINGS CONTINUED (Rubbish Collection); /' ..... ., p .

Mayor Considine asked the representative of Foothill TV to supply staff with a list of its customers and if possible to secure a list from National TV, purpose b€ing to notify the residents concerned of the forthcoming public hearing. . Receiving notification that the'processing of applications for 1) Nu Way Rubbish Company, 2) Kas-Sol, Inc., and 3) Corregated Fibre, Inc., and 4) Veron in Rubbish Service, had not been completed, it was MOVED by Councilman Forman, seconded by. Councilman Arth and carried unanimously, that the public hearings be continued until the next regular meeting (March 19). (Hearings open) . . Mr. Veronin, one of the applicants, stated in part that his equipment would meet the requirements through modernization which is being done at the present timf. Application of Kenneth C. Norman,proposed new owner of the City Refuse Service Company, for Council permit to pick up rubbish and garbage from residential, apartment, commercial and' industrial areas. The City Manager advised that staff has completed its investigation of the subject applicant and of his ability to meet the city requirements and regulations. He recommended approval subject to four conditions which in effect would be: 1) that no stock, partnership- or other form of financial interest or management participation shall be trans- ferred to anyone other than the present owner, or seller, the present buyer, his wife, his legal counsel, Latham and Watkins, or his supervisor of operations,' Lloyd Brown, without prior approval of the City Council and, suggested by Council, also include transfers by anyone else, 2) the buyer shall not have an automatic right to serve any territory not within the city limits but which could be in the. future without prior approval of the Council, 3) the buyer must post a performance bond and 4) the buyer must agree to comply with all city and state laws, failure to so do would be grounds for immediate cancellation of 1 the franchise subject to an appeal to the City Council. Mayor Considine declared the hearing open and Henry Grivi, attorney for Paul Thorsen, owner of City,Refuse Service Company, discussed with Council the possibility and.. effect in the event of Mr. Norman's death, or default by Mr.- Norman, in payments of purchase price or whatever it might be, he observed that'neither the present or proposed owner are attempting to keep the Council from having control over the transfer of stock to persons who might be objectionable. Reference was also made to machinery set forth in the present contract whereby if there should be a permanent:: - 4 - 3-5-68 1 18:7202 refusal to abide by the state and city 'laws the contract could be terminated. . Exceptions were noted such as ordinary traffic violations other than Where there might be a pattern of conduct which would indicate irresponsibility. Mr. Grivi asked that he be afforded the opportunity, of reviewing the language in the contract. Council agreed. No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on 'MOTION by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Forman and carried unanimously. Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman Forman that the transfer of the contract from Paul Thorsen, owner of City Refuse Service. Company to Kenneth C. Norman be APPROVED; that the concise wording of the document be legally worked out consistent with council discussion.
