0 <br />i Mf:MO TO: MAYOR AND CITY <br />FROM: CLERK-ADMINISTR <br />DATE: MAY 12, 1986 <br />SUBJECT: TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL OF GROUP W <br />CARI.F., INC. <br />Attached to this memorandum you will find several pieces of <br />correspondence f•om North Suburban Cable Commission <br />Administrator Bootsie Anderson and their co -counsels Thomas <br />Creighton and Craig Currie. <br />To summarize the information provided and the recent actions <br />of the North Suburban Cable Commission they are as follows: <br />The Commission adopted a resolution approving the <br />transfer of ownership of Group W Cable from <br />Westinghouse Broadcasting and Cable, Inc. to a group <br />of five individual corporations. These five have <br />been found by attorneys for the Commission as being <br />fully qualified and capable of taking over Group W <br />Cable, Inc. and the North Suburban Cable Franchise <br />and did recommend approval of same. Attached for <br />your consideraton is Resolution No. 2010 Approving <br />the Transfer of ownership of Group W Catie, Inc. <br />The second request presented to the North Suburban <br />Cable Commission called for the transfer of <br />ownership and control of Group W Cab1c of the North <br />Suburbc, Inc. and transfer of the cable <br />communications franchise ordi,iance to North Central <br />Cable Communications owned by Mr. Gustave Hauser. <br />As you may recall, this is the individual on whom we <br />have received significants amounts of information <br />regarding his wholly unacceptable operational <br />practices with respect to cable TV and the fact that <br />he has refused on numerous occassions to provide the <br />North Suburban Cable Commission with adequate <br />financial documentation regardinq his assumption of <br />Group W Cable of the North Suburbs, Inc. The <br />Commission denied this request due to the fact that <br />we have thirty days to approve a request once it is <br />formally submitted to the Commission. Due to the <br />fact that Mr. Hauser refused to supply needed <br />information, the thirty day time timeclock had <br />nearly run out and denial allows the cancellation of <br />the time period betore it expires and transfer is <br />required per provisions of the franchise. <br />Mr. lim bar may resubmit his request fnr trancfPr of <br />ownership and control at a future date and a new <br />thirty day timeclock will commence upon receipt of <br />that request by the Cable Commission. <br />
