After some discussion as to the location, Councilman Borgmeyer, jmoved that the request be granted. Central Pat Healey, Systems Manager of T.C.I .Cablevision, Inc. , stated Mobilphonci that the matter needs further study since this tower may be in the Inc. ': microwave path between Fulton and the Jefferson City receive tower ;' which could wipe out reception of out of town stations . Councilman Brant offered a substitute motion that the Cable lj V Company have their engineers or personnel to look into the mat- iter to see if it is a problem and converse with Mobilphone people and jointly get back to the Council at the next meeting. Motion passed. - - - - - - - - - - T.C.I. j Pat Healey, Systems Manager, T.C.I .Cablevision, Inc. , appeared Cablevision,:= before the Council in regard to approval of the Council of the sale Inc. o£ the Cable T V System to Telecommunications, Inc. He presented the following report to the Council: fA report on the future plans of TCI Cablevision has been requested A by members of the Council. This will be that report. TCI Cablevision, Inc. , which recently purchased the tangible ;B assets of the Jefferson City Cable Television System, has a number iof exciting plans for Jefferson City. Some of these plans have j already been implemented, as will be explained later. First, TCI Cablevision, Inc. , wants to provide service to '! anyone in the City who desires it. However, economic realities 11 preclude serving some areas , due to sparseness of population and 110ther factors . The Council has recognized these limitations, as expressed in the franchise. We do want to discuss the line exten- sion policy at a later date, so that it more realistically !� recognizes the financial limitations of the present policy. In the meantime, we mean to live with the current policy of. the franchise iF to the best of our ability. Some of the new services which were planned to be announced i j this report have already been implemented. One such service is the 364 Regular Council. Meeting, .J u I y 5, 1978. 11Christian Broadcasting Network. During the two-month trial run of 1 am ,this service, public acceptance was enormous . When the service was 'terminated at the end of the test, reaction was immediate and all ,negative. Hundreds of people expressed their displeasure at the ,lend of the test to our employees , and we are aware, to members of ;the Council. As a result of this reaction, and after discussing the ;,matter of CBN with Mayor Hyder, the decision was made to start full ''carriage of this service on June 20, 1978. This service is now lrunning twenty-four days per day, at no extra charge, for all sub- �I scribers. 11 A recent survey indicated tremendous support for the Home Box ! Office Service, which was already in operation in our neighbor :cities of Moberly and Columbia. HBO has also received overwhelming lacceptance nationwide. HBO service encompasses late movies , stage ;shows , comedy shows , sports, and other material . HBO is owned by T.C.I. ;:Time, Inc. , and the quality of the service is first-rate. Our Cablevision, ;;charge for this service is $20.00 for installation, and $8.00 per Inc. ;month service charge. Also, through the use of the latest technol- ! ogy, a way was found to institute this service through the use of a . ;converter, and our customers now have an even more broad-based wvariety of services than before. i! TCI Cablevision has had a policy, for some time, of providing service trenches for customers at no charge, and no reason was seen to change the policy for Jefferson City. We now have started to } provide service trenches for all customers served .by underground !drops. Of course, the Council can see the anomaly here: the ; customers who have underground service requiring the trench pay they Iisame installation charge as the customers serviced from overhead ,cables. We intend to approach the Council at a later date to ask Ifor an adjustment in installation charges to reflect the much I�greater cost of installing service underground. We think a two- , tiered approach in installation charges would be much more fair to : all our subscribers . For instance, the present installation might II be kept for overhead-serviced customers , while another, higher, charge might instituted for those with underground service. TCI Cablevision fully recognizes the City Council 's right to dregulate Cable Television rates in a just and fair manner, should ( it desire to do so. We have no desire to attempt to circumvent thisi : right, should the Council continue to desire to express the right. tTherefara, at a later date, as yet to be decided, we will approach the Council with a rate proposal which we deem fair to both the , subscribers of TCI Cablevision, and the stockholders of our company.;' : Finally, we at TCI Cablevision desire an end to the # divisiveness which has marked our relations with the Council in the , . past. Therefore, we propose to inform the Council of our progress ,din serving the City, and any problems we might meet in attempting to do so. It is our firm belief that in this way most problems .: may be avoided, or solved before they become major problems . Yours very truly, /s/ J. P. nealey System Manager. }� i' ,I Mayor Hyder inquired as to the purchase rice of the local Cable TV 'System. He was informed that it was 92,112,885.00. Councilman Brant asked if all of the hookups had been completed. Mr. Healey !i said all but two, which would be completed this week.
