Cable TV - were sent out C types of cable summarized the responses. As phoning those Administrator Whittaker reported that 51 surveys and only 4 were returned. He explained the different companies and the services they provide. Whittaker questions posed in the survey and reviewed the a means of providing more data, he suggested companies who did not respond. The general conclusion from the returned surveys was that Cimarron was the most desireable area and the company who serviced Cimarron would be the one who, most likely, would bid on the rest of the City. Ten years was indicated as the minimum franchim most of the companies would consider. Mottaz felt the key question was answered when three. of the companies indicated a franchise in Cimarron alone would preclude franchising the rest of the City later. Fraser maintained that developing a coherent plan is the key to the whole question. Council members discussed whether there is an overall interest in providing cable tv for the entire City. Mrs. Truskolaski, potential cable committee volunteer, said she has had no contact with or from Tri-Lakes residents about cable service. Whittaker said the question is whether to bid Cimarron alone or the whole City. Either way would require going through the franchise process; but the Council should decide if they are willing to permit a franchise in Cimarron only. This is a judgement question.
