about local government, and it has been a pleasure for him to
serve.

Mr. Maley informed the council that he had checked with
Dade County officials regarding the manner they have been award-
ing cable television franchises to various companies and assign-
ing service areas in different parts of the County. He was ad-
vised that these areas are not exclusive. After study, Mr. Maley
said he would recommend awarding the Bal Harbour franchise to
UltaCom of Dade County, Inc. for the following reasons: The
proximity of their main offices in North Bay Village which will
allow our citizens easier access to their offices and broadcast
studio; better coordination with local utilities; familiarity
with the area which would permit dispatchers to route emergency
calls to the proper agencies; being served by the same company
as our neighboring communities will allow us to band together
to ensure better programing and service. Mr. Charles Hermanowski
