not on the list. She then explained the reasons for the incompletion of the
itemize list to the Commissioners. Commissioner Lewis stated that one of the
items that was discussed that is not on the list was availability of services on
cable programs for senior citizens here in Lynwood. He stated that many
senior's may or may not know how to utilize the services. He also stated that
there maybe a way that Continental Cablevision can notify the senior citizens
once or twice a year for special services that are available to them. Especially
services regarding health matters and maybe Continental Cablevision can offer
a (800 #) that senior citizens can call if additional help is needed, he continued.
Commissioner Fields stated that she would like to know the total amount of
senior citizens that subscribe to Continental Cablevision here in Lynwood.
Commissioner Lewis stated that based on what Staff person Howard stated in
the June 10, 1996, meeting, there are about 3000 subscribers and it was
estimated that 20% of these subscribers are senior citizens, which would make
a total of 600 senior citizen subscribers here in Lynwood. Commissioner
Cunningham stated that as it was stated in the June 10, 1996, meeting, many
of the senior citizens do not know how to utilize the services that are offered
to them. Commissioner Lewis read Page 3 starting with Line 2 of the June
10, 1996, minutes to the Commissioners. Commissioner Cunningham asked
Commissioner Lewis, are you saying that there is a (800 #) that the seniors can
call? Commissioner Lewis answered no, this is a recommendation I am
making. He stated that what I am saying is, there are a number of seniors
within our community that subscribe to Continental Cablevision and have
cable access that they may not be aware of He stated that what I am
recommending is that Continental Cablevision supply information either by
telephone or by mail and make an (800 #) available to the seniors, so that they
will know what services are available to them. He stated that this should be
also in conjunction with a mailing notice once or twice a year telling them
what services they have. He stated that it would benefit Continental
Cablevision as well as the subscribers. Commissioner Fields suggested that
the Lynwood 'n Perspective newsletter could also be a vehicle where senior
citizens could get information regarding the availability of Continental
Cablevision's services for seniors once or twice a year
Commissioner Lewis stated that most of the recommendations that the
Commissioners requested to Staff person Howard were in general terms.
Staff person Howard apologized to the Commissioners for the incompleteness
of the proposed negotiable items list for the Cable Franchise Agreement.
Commissioner Fields suggested to the Commissioners to take the negotiable
items list home and add their suggestions. She then suggested for the
Commissioners to come up with a deadline for the list to be returned to Staff
person Howard for submission to the City Manager

MINUTES OF THE JULY 8,1996 MEETING
Commissioner Cunningham stated that he does not think that there should be
a deadline, he suggested that Staff person Roberson go over the list and add
the additional items, since he is the one who works in the video production
department and knows what equipment is needed. Commissioner Lewis
stated that the two items that he suggests to be added to the list of negotiable
items are R F Microphones and Headphones. Commissioner McZeal asked
Staff person Howard when is the negotiable items list due back to the City
Manager Staff person Howard stated that the list of negotiable items has not
been submitted to the City Manager yet. She stated that she thought since the
Commissioners requested the list they should review it first. Commissioner
Lewis asked Staff person Howard what date would she like as a deadline for
the Commissioners to return their additional items to her Staff person
Howard suggested that the deadline for submitting additional items to be
added to the list of negotiable items is July 18, 1996 She also stated that the
Commissioners could call the Lynwood Media Services Office if they have
any additional items to add to the list. Commissioner Lewis stated that he
thinks that all additional items should be called in and submitted to Staff
person Howard as soon as possible. He stated that he would like to see the
list completed before the August 10, 1996, meeting. Commissioner Lewis
stated that when Staff person Howard receives the information from the
Commissioners then the sooner she can get the negotiable items list to the
City Manager Commissioner Lewis moved that all additional
recommendations for the list as negotiable items for the Cable Franchise
Agreement be submitted to Staff person Howard no later than July 18, 1996.
Seconded by Commissioner McZeal and all the Commissioners agreed.
