END OF CONSENT AGENDA
John DuBois was present and reviewed the process used in bidding the E-911 PHONE
enhanced 911 emergency telephone system for the Police Facility. He PROPOSALS
reviewed his recommendation of awarding the contract to Sprint/United
Telephone Company, the low compliant bidder. He noted that a representative of
Motorola was present to object to the recommendation. As described in his letter
dated September 15, 1993, Motorola was not compliant with the specifications and
was not the low bidder.
Councilmember Humphrey questioned the reference in the recommendation to
procuring the equipment by a lease/purchase~ He is not in favor of leasing this
particular equipment; it should be an outright purchase.
Sheldon Hawley, of Motorola, was present and said he asked to comment because he
understands the City is considering renting a telephone system for the Police
Facility. Motorola's product is a digital PBX switch that could operate all
telephones in the building as well as the E-911 system. He asked the Council to
consider this entire system and not just the E-911 portion.
Mr. Melena said consideration was given to purchasing or renting a telephone
system before the specifications were prepared. In view of the continual need
for upgrading, a determination was made to rent telephones. Separate quotations
were taken and the Council authorized that contract at its meeting of September
9, 1993.

Mr. Johnson reviewed his memo dated September 20, 1993, concerning CABLE TV RATE
rate regulation of Cable TV. The cable consulting attorney recom- REGULATION
mends that cities file certification of rate regulation with the FCC
as provided by the 1992 Cable Act. This must be filed by October 15th. The
Council could make its decision at the next meeting, October 14th, and meet the
date. That timing would allow the Cable TV Committee to review the information
and make a recommendation.
Lisa Washa, of Star Cablevision, was present and asked for an opportunity to make
a proposal and clarify certain provisions before the City acts. Rollie Bible, of
the Cable TV Committee, was present and said they would like to review and
discuss the proposal.

Mr. Johnson reviewed his memo dated September 9, 1993, concerning the CABLE TV
offer of Star Cablevision to bring the line to and wire the new Police FRANCHISE
Facility in exchange for a franchise extension to June 30, 2003. EXTENSION/
Rollie Bible said the Cable TV Committee reviewed the request at its POLICE
September 13, 1993, meeting. The current franchise calls for a 12-
month notice to Star to provide cable to a City facility. Star is willing to

provide cable immediately in exchange for the five-year franchise extension.
This is a non-exclusive franchise and an extension would have very little risk
for the City. The Committee recommended approving the arrangement.
MOTION:
of Humphrey, seconded by Branning, approving extension of
Star Gablevision's franchise until June 30, 2003, provided
Star brings in the line for the Police Facility and wires up
to nine outlets now and provides the same service for a new
City Hall, with a two-way return line in the new City Hall;
subject to review and preparation of the extension documents
by the attorney.

Councilmember Goodwin asked what the negative aspects of extending the franchise
would be? Mr. Bible said the Committee does not know what would be negative or
what would be changed. The wording of the existing franchise allows upgrading,
amendments, etc., with written notice.
Councilmember Erickson asked what the cable attorney's opinion is on extending
the franchise? Mr. Bible said he has not been consulted. Gouncilmember Erickson
said he would like legal advice before acting.
Vote was taken on the motion. Ayes - 4 - Nays - 1 (Erickson).
Councilmember Humphrey reported that the MVTA Board met last night and
voted to fund the High Speed Bus Mass Transit Plan group on behalf of
