The City Manager responded that California Cablesystems has put aside $500,000 for schools and that the prorated share for the Lynwood School District is $74,000. Mr. Jones inquired what the rationale was for selection of California Cablesystems, and-was advised by the City Manager that selection was based upon the company's reliability, con- tract record, expense of the programs, responsiveness to needs, rate structure, penetration factor, and service re- liability. Mr. Jones, speaking in behalf of the school district, stated that the school district is not satisfied with the selection made in that the District feels that the residuals offered by the other company in terms of jobs and labor and labor market far outweigh the benefits California Cablesystems offers and that, therefore, an objection to the selection is being voiced. Mr. Jones stated that the concern of the school district is that California Cable- systems did not make an in-depth assessment that would re- flect the needs of the community. Mr. Jones stated it was his understanding that the costs of working with the stu~ dents was to be over and above the $74,000 paid to the ,,.... school district. Bob Downs, 3920 Carlin Avenue, inquired how the study was B.

Councilman Morris responded that a non-profit commission would be set up to review, consider, and suggest different types of programming that would be worthwhile. Dr. Floyd re Dr. Charles L. Floyd, 12503 Harris Avenue, inquired how cable payments the payment of $74, 000 would be made to the school to schools .district and the City Manager explained that $37,000 would be paid to the school district upon execution of the contract, and the second payment of $37,000 would be made within one year. Dr. Floyd inquired what could be purchased with $37,000, and was advised that the school district could purchase a hardware package for $27,000 , which would include connections to school classrooms, connections between different schools, and portable equipment packages. Dr. Floyd stated that another cable television company had offered $112,000 in hardware alone to the school district and for this reason the school system feels it is being short-changed. The City Manager stated that an additional $865,000 will be available to the City and that it is possible some of that money could be used for non-profit groups. Mr. Cerio stated that the ordinance sets up two separate corporations: (1) a Community Access Committee which will oversee access chan- nels within the City, and (2) a Municipal Endowment Fund which would review requests such as Dr. Floyd's. Dr. Floyd asked how the members of the committee would be selected and was advised by the. Mayor that the City Council would make the determination. Dr. Floyd inquired if the City of Lynwood will be getting a studio. The City Manager respond- ed that a studio will be located between the City of Para- mount and the City of Lynwood. Dr. Floyd stated that he would like to have a studio in Lynwood. He inquired why California Cablesystems was selected in view of T~le- prompter's lower rates. The City Manager responded that penetration figure was a factor. Dr. Floyd inquired how California Cablesystems arrived at the penetration figure and Mr. Cerio responded that it was based on the results of a survey and a comparison with other penetration figures in the. Los Angeles area. Dr. Floyd asked how arrangements will be made for use of the Downey studio and the City Manager responded that all communities will be able to use the studio and that a schedule will be set up. Dr. Floyd asked whether Lynwood residents will be employed and was advised by the City Manager that the studio will hire local residents. Dr. Floyd inquired about training for the system and Mr. Cerio responded there would be two training programs, one through Calif- ornia Cablesystems, and .another through CERE, a County CETA program. Dr. Floyd asked where the training program-will be located. Mr. Cerio responded that CERE operates out of Pico Rivera, and that the training program will include classroom work and some training at the actual work sites. Dr. Floyd asked what kind of incentive would be offered to young people of Lynwood, and was advised by Mr. Cerio that the CETA program provides some transportation money and that a number of positions will be held open to be filled by graduates of the program.

Singleterry Champ Singleterry, 11201 Elm Street, inquired if the fran- i f franchise chise is non-exclusive. The Mayor responded in the i s non-excl us. affirmative. Bob Downs, referring to a letter from California Cable- B. Downs, re systems, dated August 17, 1981, which states that Spanish Spanish programs language programs will be offered, stated that as a black, being offered he feels left out. He asked what Council's intent is re- ,~~ a ,~..._. garding special programs for blacks. Mr. Cerro ex- plained that approximately one-third of the residents of the consortium are bilingual and, for that reason, one or two channels may carry language for non-English speaking persons; the remainder will be for people who speak English as the primary language. Mr. Downs in- quired about the procedure for revocation of the franchise. The City .Attorney discussed .Section 14.1. Mr. Downs stated he agrees with Dr. Floyd that the ~^^ franchise not be awarded at this time on the grounds that a proper survey and a proper cross-section have not been made. R. Downs, con Dave Richman, 11060 Benwell Drive, requested information regarding the corporate .structure of California Cable- systems. Mr. Cerro responded that the parent company of California Cablesystems is Rogers Cablesystems, Inc., Toronto. Mr. Richman stated that foreign interests are taking over American organizations and recommended that the City do business with American companies and buy American products. Irma Jean Carter, 3524 Mulford Avenue, inquired how much money will be allocated for bilingual teaching, and was advised to direct her question to the School Board. William Cunningham, 10821 Cornish Avenue, inquired about the financial backing of California Cablesystems. He requested Council to defer making a decision until the technological, financial and other aspects of the tele- communications field are studied further. D. Richman corporate structure c Ccal i forn i Cablesyster I. Carter money al- located fo bilingual W. Cunning ham re fin backing of California Cablesyster Sondra Sibley, 12028 Gertrude Drive, asked if her under- standing is correct that there is no guarantee of a "`~"" studio in Lynwood and if allocation of $865, 000 is to S. S i bley be decided solely by Council. The City Manager responded studio in that both understandings are correct, but that it would Lynwood be a determination of the School Board to fund a studio at the high school with the $74,000 allocated to the school district. Mrs. Sibley inquired about a black access channel and a religious .access channel, and was. advised by the City Manager that they would be available through the community. access channel.. -Mrs. Sibley in- quired about drops in the churches and was advised that the drops were a variable that were brought up after the proposals had been submitted. Mrs. Sibley inquired if Council will make a decision tonight based on the hear- ings, and if so, w~.at the basis for the decision is. The City Manager advised that the recommendation is to intro- duce the ordinance tonight and to .have a second reading of the ordinance on September 15. Mrs. Sibley stated she is confused in that. Council did not answer questions and do not appear to understand the pr©posed ordinance. Mrs. Sibley stated that the-questions being asked at this public hearing are the same ones asked at the previous hearing; namely, questions regarding the studio at the high school, the religious drop, items-that she understood were to be negotiated. She requested Council to inform ~,,, her what things asked for at the last. hearing are in- eluded in the present proposal, and specifically, what ~ happened to the studio at the high school.. The Mayor re- sponded that it is possible to do the things indicated, but perhaps in a different manner and that advisory groups will be formed to assist Council to determine the expendi- ture of funds for the greatest benefit. Mrs. Sibley re- quested that there be specifics in the contract, such as dollar amounts.. Mrs. Sibley stated she does not feel re- presented in terms of the school district or with respect to the black access channel. Councilman Morris inquired how much negotiation would be necessary to have a studio and was advised by Mr. Cerro that California Cablesystems determined that three studios in the consortium are ., sufficient and more might create overloading. Mrs. Sibley requested clarification of Section 9, Page 44, of the proposal_prdinance stating that she does not understand how the Council can appoint themselves as a non-profit organization.. The Mayor stated that it is his understanding that Council can designate who sits on a non-profit corporation-and can create a non-profit corporation, and added that Council will receive recommendations from a commission or a group within the commission. Mrs. Sibley asked if there is a possibility of using part of the $865,000 for a studio. The Mayor responded that this could be a consideration. R. Jones cash Robert Jones asked California Cablesystems to cash out out some i terns some of the items ~ in the program. H. Wanner re Hartley Wanner stated that since the high school will high school be getting a lesser amount of money, it is being short- being short- changed. Mr. Wanner discussed programming from satellites. changed Mr. Cerio stated that ten future channels will be held in reserve.. W. Wood re- William Wood, 3524 Mulford Avenue, stated that he is dis- questing a heartened. about the way the community's needs are being black channel left out. He stated that with an 80+ channel capacity, with two scheduled for Spanish-speaking, there is vali- dity in requesting one channel for black access in view of the fact that the population of the City is 40% black. Mr. Wood stated•it is an insult to hold 10 channels in reserve for the future when the needs of the present are not being met. He questioned why California Cablesystems' -rate is $8.95 for an 80+ capacity when Teleprompter's rate is $6.95 for 103 channel capacity. Mr. Wood stated that .the children have been short-changed since the schools will receive $40,000 less from California Cable- systems, and that it does not make sense to sign a contract which will result in less money for the schools. Mr. Wood critized Council action stating that it is up to the people to register protest at the next election. C. Law, where Claude Law, 3866 Walnut Avenue, stated that he was under is the money the impression that at the last public hearing an agree- com i ng from? ment had been reached with regard to negotiations . He stated he had .discussions regarding education and training with Councilman Morris a.nd that he was disappointed in him. In response to Mr. Law's inquiry as to where the $865,000 was coming from, the Mayor stated the money will come from the cable company and from the community. Mr. Law stated that Council has no feeling for the community; that he ex- pected more from the Council with regard to responding to the needs of the community; that citizens are being left out; and that the community feels they have not been dealt with fairly. D. Richamn re Dave Richman, expressed concern that the City Council is establishing establishing a non-profit group to handle $865,000 with a non-profit the intention of appointing themselves. He recommended group for Cal that the City Council adopt an ordinance with a ;~rovi- „~~„ Cablesystems Sion eliminating participation of members of the City monies Council on a non-profit commission or board. The City Attorney discussed Section 9.3, Community Access Corpora- tion, which provides that the non-profit corporation will be independent. S. Sibley Sondra Sibley asked Mr. Cerio to explain if he had been community informed of what citizens requested at the first public requests for hearing as to what was wanted as a community. Mr. Cerio cabl etel ev i s i on responded that a whole range of concerns of each of the various communities was discussed, and it was decided that 4 "` { the vehicle of changing the hard commitments into dollars would allow .flexibility to each individual city to be able to address the concern that was specific to the residents. Mrs.. Sibley stated she was not satis- fied with the answers and asked if there was another way besides the vehicle of $865,000. She asked if it would be possible to have specifics in terms of dollar amounts for each project. The Mayor inquired if anyone else wished to be heard. There was no response and the public hearing was closed.
