Mr. Jamesom called the meeting to order and stated that this meeting was called
for the express purpose of discussing the' awarding of a non-exclusive franchise for
C.A.T.V. The Board of Public Works and Safety has made every effort to follow procedure
set out by the Statutes of the State of Indiana in regards to awarding a franchise.
All of the proposals that had been received were tabulated and each applicant had been
furnished with the final tabulations. After careful study and consideration of allIII
proposals received it is agreed by all members of the Board of Public Works and Safety
thct the proposal of the Clearview Cable of Richmond, Indiana was the best bid received
for the City of Richmond, Indiana and to the citizens that it will serve. This being a
public meeting, and all applicants were advised of the same, the Board of Works would
now hear a tone who desired to express themselves.
Mr. John Von Pein requested that the Board of Public Works and Safety make further
study on two subjects. Do the citizens of Richmond really want C.A.T.V? The City
should postpone action until a ruling is made by the U.S. Congress to control C.A.T.V.
in the United States.
Mr; Lester Spencer questioned the term "In no event shall a redetermination of
rates be made within five (5) years after the date hereof, and thereafter, made only with
the express written approval of the Board of Public Works and Safety of said City".
The question was "is it meant from time of the agreement is signed or after service is
installed?" Mr. Ken Goodwell and Mr. Robert O'Maley also asked the same question. Mr.
Keller stated from date of signing contract after ratification by Council.
Mr. Keller also stated that all applicants submitted their proposals on the basis
of same non-exclusive franchise. This franchise had been studied with all applicants
at many meetings and it was agreed by all that it was the best franchise written for
the present day operation of C.A.T.V. He also stated that this Board of Works realizes
that there are some parts that wouldn't apply to the future, but this body would be
open-minded enough to receive and make study of any amendments that would be best
suited to give the City the best service available. This should hold true to the
successors of this board.
It was noted that the Clearview Cable, Inc. did file with the City Clerk, proof
of publication of Notice Of Hearing printed in the Richmond Palladium-Item on the
date of November 21, 1966. There was also filed Proof of Posting of Notices in ten
different public places in the City of Richmond, Indiana.
After hearing all persons present, Mr. Jameson stated that the City Attorney would
ptepare an ordinance for Council's consideration to authorize the Board of Public
Works and Safety to enter into and with the Clearview Cable, Inc. of Richmond Indiana.
