} <br />ES 26 1991C:Jcc�,� �87 <br />!�UO� ..� PAGt � <br />COMMISSIONERS' ITEMS - REQUEST FROM WPTB2 <br />Chairman Bird referred the Board to the following letter: <br />February 21, 1991 <br />Mr. Richard N. Bird, Chairman <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY BOARD OF <br />COUNTY COMMISSIONER <br />1840 25th Street <br />Vero Beacli, FL 32960 <br />Dear Commissioner Bird, <br />oua�xTaQ` , <br />rL�oPo <br />.1,2 <br />- f t <br />WSOVM-fWA <br />P.O. Brno 2 <br />Miami, FL 33261-0002 <br />(305) 949-83tn <br />Tel6m-1305) 940-4610 <br />studios at <br />14901 N.E. Sesame Street <br />Miami, FL <br />(+QMMi mYTF1rM*NKxUNM-CK <br />CF 2OUTH RMD% Irr- <br />TK IMM LrMI-5A PJB <br />33MMUN WIONSCEWS <br />A year ago, the Board of County Commissioners was good <br />enough to endorse our efforts to establish a public television <br />station to serve the Treasure Coast Community. A copy of <br />Commissioner Eggert's letter is attached. For reasons with <br />which you surely are familiar, we were forced to abandon those <br />plans. <br />We seek your heli once again. WPBT2's signal reaches St. <br />Lucie and Indian River Counties via a microwave system from <br />Stuart to the United Artists cable system which in turn brings <br />the signal to residents of the two counties. MCI, owners of <br />the Microwave system, have advised that that system will be <br />dismantled. after October 1, 1991. <br />To assure that there will be no interruption in the WFBT2 <br />service, we propose to construct a replacement microwave <br />system, the cost of which is $350,000. To defray some of the <br />cost, we have applied to the National Telecommunications and <br />Information Agency (NTIA) for $165,000 in financial assistance. <br />Your letter of support for the project would certainly <br />demonstrate to NTIA the importance of funding our grant <br />request. <br />NTIA has a very short deadline for support letters and <br />requires our response by March Ist, so we ask that you fax your <br />letter to us at 305-940-6610. Enclosed is a suggested letter <br />of support for your consideration. <br />We apologize for the short notice, but we are grateful for <br />your assistance and support. <br />cerely, <br />George Dooley <br />President <br />48 <br />
