Attorney Vitunac clarified that if the agreement is approved <br />today, it would not change any of the law. It is just an <br />agreement that we in good faith will present this ordinance <br />change in in a month. <br />The Chairman asked if anyone else wished to be heard. <br />Fred Mensing, Roseland, informed the Board that there has <br />been some improvement in the cable service, but they still have a <br />problem in the North County. Last night the cable went out for <br />many hours, and he called and reached a woman who really didn't <br />seem to care. Mr. Mensing felt the cable company should provide <br />a better degree of service and questioned the transfer being <br />approved until these issues are resolved or else he felt there <br />should be some language in the transfer that would guaranty in <br />writing that these difficulties will be solved in thirty days. <br />Ken Vickers, General Manager of Jones Intercable, informed <br />the Board that when they rebuilt their system, they upgraded it <br />by replacing all of their power supply units, which would only <br />run on commercial power, with stand-by power supply units which <br />will run about 2-3 hours on their own back-up batteries. In <br />going with 100% stand-by power, they went well beyond what is <br />required in the design of a cable system. Unfortunately, the <br />power was out last night longer than their batteries could last, <br />which he believed is somewhat of an unusual occurrence. <br />Ms. Sims noted that she will have to look into the particu- <br />lar problem cited re last night's outage. She pointed out, <br />however, that while they can supply the stand-by power, they <br />can't guarantee they can have any control over the power company. <br />She also believed what happened last night is a rare occurrence. <br />Director Pinto suggested that it would be a good idea for <br />Ms. Sims to put on the record some of the things discussed as to <br />Falcon's intent re expansion and improvement of the system, and <br />also possibly some of the history showing that Falcon is a <br />reliable company and not one that just gets in and builds their <br />systems and sells them. <br />JAN 12 1988 <br />15 <br />BOOK 70 F,10E 552 <br />
