The Board reviewed the following memo dated December 2, 1992: TO: Board of County Commissioners r � FROM: Terrence P. O'Brien - Assistant County Attorney-lit ttorneyt DATE: December 2, 1992 SUBJECT: PROPOSED ORDINANCE ENTITLED: AN ORDINANCE OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA MAKING AN EDITORIAL REMOVAL OF CHAPTER 4 1/2 CABLE TELEVISION (1974 CODE) AND NOTING THAT IN CHAPTER 211 CABLE TELEVISION (1990 CODE) . A public hearing date of January 12, 1993 is suggested for the subject ordinance. Attorney Vitunac explained that this is just an editorial transfer to the new Code without printing the entire Chapter, because staff knows it is going to be rewritten when Congress adopts the new rules in April. Commissioner Macht mentioned that some representatives at the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) asked him to gather information on the new Cable -TV rules and regulations and perhaps determine what will happen when the new legislation is fully implemented. In response to their request, Commissioner Macht put together a packet of information and informed the AARP representatives that he would ask the Commission to place this item on the agenda for discussion. He thought perhaps the Chairman could be authorized to write a letter to the local franchises (TCE Cable and Falcon Cable) asking them to rescind their recent increases, which were undoubtedly pushed through before the new regulations take effect. He will be bringing this item to the Board for discussion in the near future. The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to b6 -heard in this matter. There being none, he closed the public hearing.. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Macht, the Board unanimously adopted Ordinance 93-4, making an editorial removal of Chapter 4-1/2 Cable Television (1974 Code). and noting that in Chapter 211 Cable Television (1990 code) 43 LJA _N 19BOOK S' FA JE 51
