BOOK 91 FAGS 549 <br />Dr. Gary Norris, Superintendent of Schools, advised that <br />Falcon's lines extend almost to the Gifford Middle 6 School, but <br />the problem is that they use a different type of cable than that <br />used by TCI. A micro wave signal would have to be set up to bring <br />in the north county which he felt would be really great. Up to <br />now, however, there has been no reason to do it. <br />Commissioner Macht suggested that we negotiate doing that <br />through our franchise agreement. <br />Dr. Norris stressed that the programming would have to be on <br />a trial basis until it is determined in June whether enough young <br />people will continue to be interested in the program. There has to <br />be a sufficient number of students to alternate shooting the <br />weekly meetings and the special meetings. After that is determined <br />in June, they may be in a position to televise all four monthly <br />meetings. <br />Chairman Tippin believed there is a definite interest by the <br />public to have these meetings televised. <br />It was Dr. Norris's estimation that $100 an hour would go <br />directly to the Vero Beach High School to help pay for tape and <br />equipment and maybe to fund a work/study program for the students <br />to receive a few dollars an hour for their extra efforts, and to <br />pay some of the sponsors for their extra time and involvement. He <br />assured the Board that the School Board would not reap any of this <br />money and that it will go back into the program. <br />Bill Koolage of Vista Gardens encouraged the Board to go ahead <br />with the programming which will give the residents a chance to view <br />BCC meetings in their homes. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Macht, the Board unanimously approved <br />the proposed televised programming of BCC meetings <br />as set out by staff. <br />20 <br />
