DISCUSSION REGARDING INVITING OWNERS OF CABLE TV COMPANIES TO <br />DISCUSS RATE INCREASES AND RESTRUCTURING <br />The Board reviewed the following drafted letter dated 1/27/93: <br />BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />1840 25th Sheet, Vero Beach, Florida 32960 <br />s <br />Telephone: (407) 5674MM <br />January 27, 1993 <br />Mr. James Foody, General Manager <br />TCI Cablevision of the Treasure Coast <br />Post Office Box 2530 <br />Vero Beach, FL 32961 <br />Dear Mr. Foody: <br />Suncom Telephone: 224-1011 <br />0 <br />Under the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992, <br />and the rules which the Federal Communication Commission will adopt by April, <br />1993, there is a strong likelihood that Indian River County will again be <br />empowered to regulate certain future rate increases by TCI within Indian <br />River County. In addition the reasonableness of existing rates and charges <br />may be inquired into by the County for a period of six months after the <br />effective date of the new rules. <br />Since TCI has recently increased its rates and even more recently has <br />restructured the composition of its Basic and Expanded Basic channel menus, <br />the Board of County Commissioners invites TCI to attend an information <br />session before the public and the Board to explain the new rates and channel <br />offerings. This meeting will enable the Commission and public to understand <br />the existing rates so that future requests for increases and changes can be <br />more efficiently analyzed. <br />I would appreciate it if you would please call Mrs. Cindy White, the County's <br />cable TV coordinator, to schedule this presentation. We look forward to <br />hearing from you. <br />Sincerely, <br />BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />Richard N. Bird, Chairman <br />RNB/Vk <br />51 <br />
