CONSULTANT'S REPORT OF BUILDING DEPARTMENT ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously accepted the Consultant's Report on the Building Department. The Building Department 'Transfer. and Implementation Plan for Indian River County is on file in the Office of the Administrative Aide to the Board of County Commissioners. CABLE TV ORDINANCE - PROPOSED AMENDMENT The Board reviewed the following information: TO: Members of the. Board DATE: August 25, 1982 FILE: of County Commissioners of Indian River County SUBJECT: Amendment to Cable TV Ordinance FROM: Gary M. Brandenburg REFERENCES: County Attorney The County Commission previously received a request to amend Section 5 C. CHANNEL REQUIREMENTS, to limit the requirements of providing free CATV service to schools and libraries. The following are three (3) alternative approaches to the situation; 1. Retain present wording. The ordinance currently reads "If any CATV subscribers are being served within a radius of one quarter mile of a school or library, the licensee shall provide basic CATV services to the school or library without charge; provided, however, the installation charges shall be borne by the school or library pursuant to and in compliance with the provisions of this Ordinance." Thislanguage provides free service to all schools and all libraries and raises the question as to -what constitutes a school or library within the meaning of the ordinance. The current ordinance does not provide a definition for these two terms. 2. Change the wording of the ordinance to read "To schools that are licensed to provide service in accordance with the compulsory attendance law of the State of Florida and public libraries." ;1 This change would eliminate some of the ambiguity by limiting the free service to public and private schools and all.other homes, institutions, etc. that qualify under state law. 22
