Some changes were proposed by the City Manager in the CATV draft ordinance
as prepared by Checchi and Company.
Section 25(a) - The City Council would have the right of approving any loan
or mortgage or conditional sales contract against the system.
Section 34(a) - This section deals with establishing the term of the franchise.
There would be a 10-year term with consideration of additional term or gross receipts
to the city. They could consider an additional 5-year extension to the 10 years.
The City could review the contract prior to the 5-year extension.
Section 11(a) - Deals with the requirement of carrying local FM stations prior
to outside FM stations.
Section 19(h) - Plans and specifications for each phase of the system would
have to be approved by the City.
Section 21(c) - This section would contain the same thing as Section 21(g) of
the ordinance in requiring approval of rates by the Council before they would be-
come effective.
Other suggested changes were presented by the City Manager, as indicated on
the attached sheet. He recommended that the consultants be authorized to proceed
with their final report to the City.
Alderman Boyd commented that fundamental rules have not been given at this
time; that he feels Checchi's advice will be more beneficial after the FCC rules
come down, and that they should not do anything until after the new rules are
established.
Moved by Alderman Boyd that the City Manager be authorized to negotiate with
Checchi for partial payment of the monies they feel is due at this time, and that
no further action be taken on the report until the FCC completes the rules they
are now working on.
Motion seconded by Alderman Campsey.
Alderman Lambert stated that he felt this motion is not necessary because the
report does not commit us to awarding a franchise. Alderman Darner confirmed that
it did not even commit us to the information in the report. When the time comes
to request bids, then that will be the time to delay if we desire. It was suggested
that we not act affirmatively on the motion before us. Alderman Boyd again stated
that he felt Checchi's comments would be more valuable to us after the report of
the FCC comes out than before.
The motion was lost by the following vote:
Ayes : Aldermen Campsey and Boyd
Nays : Aldermen Lambert, Darner, and Drake
Moved by Alderman Lambert that the changes suggested by the City Manager be
approved, with the exception of the second change in Section 11(a) (dealing with
the requirement that the system carry local FM stations) , and that the draft report
be prepared and received with such changes.
Motion seconded by Alderman Drake.
Forrest Whan, KWFT, stated that he had been a consultant many times, but had
never been asked to change his report. He felt that Checchi should make his report,
and then let the Council review it. Alderman Lambert explained that Mr. Fox was
giving some feedback. They City Manager stated that the procedure has been followed
as originally set out, with the exception of the public hearing on the preliminary
draft.
432
Item 10b, Cont'd.
Mr. Whan raised one question on the requirement of 20 percent being locally
owned. He felt that 80 percent should be locally owned and 20 percent outside
of the city. Alderman Lambert stated that he felt this would allow as many
companies as possible to bid or make application.
Lee Sellers, Wichita Falls Communications Services, asked if there would
be another opportunity for interested parties to present their thoughts on a
proposed ordinance before it is adopted. The Council confirmed that there would
be an opportunity.
The motion was carried by the following vote :
Ayes : Mayor Hill, Aldermen Lambert, Darner, and Drake
Nays : Aldermen Campsey and Boyd
Alderman Boyd stated that he felt that there is considerable interest in
this city for a possible municipally owned CATV system. He read a letter from
Verl Wilson with Wichita Beverage Company regarding municipal ownership. He
stated that the City should have control of the cable to protect its lower and
middle class citizens. Mr. Boyd stated that he felt the letter had merit.
Moved by Alderman Boyd that the Mayor appoint a committee of citizens to
check into the possibility of a municipally owned cable TV system, with
September 15 , 1971 as the deadline for such report.
Motion seconded by Alderman Lambert.
Mayor Hill stated that he does not feel that the City of Wichita Falls
should be in competition with the various news media.
The motion was carried unanimously.
Item 10c
