Commissioner Scurlock noted that this also will be addressed in the new franchise agreements. Director Pinto pointed out that all these various things are related to the cost; so, we must decide on a policy which is approved by the Board and then negotiate with the vendor. Then you must look at cost versus service and see whether that balances out. Commissioner Scurlock believed there has been some discussion on the Board about regulating the commercial side also. Chairman Eggert stated that she personally had a real problem with the one week notice. Normally we have a 15 day notice, and she is not sure one week is sufficient time. She felt possibly there should be a longer notice set up and also some display ads since we don't send out individual notices. Director Pinto suggested that you don't advertise too far in advance - not much further than 10 days - but felt you might want to say it should be advertised for 3 consecutive days. Attorney Vitunac advised that the requirement for notice is very broad; so, the Board can decide what it wants to do. Commissioner Scurlock noted that he would recommend we keep the actual ordinance as flexible as possible, but as a policy matter, he thought the Commission can be much more definite in things we direct staff to do in terms of advertising and he would encourage having a display ad prior to that particular meeting. He further noted that once you actually set up your billing cycle, the most appropriate way to contact people is through the billing process. Director Pinto advised that we want to take this to public hearing the first week of August, and if the Board feels it is adequate, he will place a 4 'x 4 ad as just discussed. Chairman Eggert requested that the definitions be put in the front of the ordinance, and Commissioner Bowman commented that she sees a big loophole in Section 6 which gives an exemption to 5 3 J U l 101990
