Mayor Eggert requested that Council consider rescinding Ordinance ~~197 relating to changes in the Cable TV matters. He explained that the intent of X6197 was to permit equipment changes at the discretion of the North Suburban Cable Commission and since most equipment changes • have been made and the hardware in place, there is no further need for the ordinance. Since the ordinance has been broadly interpreted to mean franchise changes could be approved by the Commission, rescinding would assure that Council would be included in any decision making in regard to franchise changes.
