Cable TV Committee - Surve andpointments - Administrator WhittaF er reposed several resients have volunteered to serve on the study committee. Mottaz moved, seconded by Novak, to reconsider the motion to set up a Study Committee. Discussion: Mottaz feels that the previous action is, in effect,setting up a Cable Commit4ee;_which is not the intent of the City at this point. He thinks the questions that need to be addressed can be answered without a committee, by polling the cable companies, as suggested by the Administrator in his April 16 Memo. He recommended that the Administrator draft a letter with 8-10 pertinent questions. After preliminary information is available, the City can decide if a study cable committee is desirable or necessary. Fraser agreed with the basic principle, but feels a preliminary overview is necessary to decide when the City should deal with it. She said Mottazs' suggestion fails to address the question in a manner the weight of the question deserves. Mottaz feels both he and Fraser are looking for the same answer; but their approach differs. The Council discussed the pros and cons of a Preliminary Study Committee. Don Moe, Cimarron committee volunteer, agreed with Fraser's position stating there is a definite need for the preliminary committee. Motion carried 4-0. Mottaz moved, seconded by Novak, to establish a Preliminary Study Committee. Motion failed 1-3. Fraser doting for the motion. Mottaz moved, seconded by Novak, to instruct the Administrator to prepare a questionaire to be sent to the companies providing cable service in the State; and request they respond by May 5. Motion carried 3-1. Fraser opposed. She feels the committee approach would better address the questions. B. Well #2 - Test results are not back on the City Office well. C.
