NEW BUSINESS Councilman McDowell had a question regarding the lineup of programming on TCI Cable, after which Allen Garner, City Counselor, explained that a number of customers had been receiving certain channels which they should not have been receiving in the first place. In the past, there was not an accurate way for TCI to track these "misdirected" signals. With the new system, TCI can now control what signals its customers get, and the people who were receiving some of the programming for free will no longer be able to do that. Regarding complaints about yard damage created by TCI, he explained that the City has a pretty accurate system of dealing with these complaints and making sure that follow up is performed by TCI to take care of the complaints. The Law Department logs those complaints and follows up to make sure they are being properly addressed. Councilman McDowell stated that she has had questions from citizens regarding inspections of gas furnaces. Keith DeVault, Planning & Code Enforcement Director, explained that the City no longer performs gas furnace inspections, but that Union Election is supposed to be performing them as part of their services.
