heretofore by Resolution No. 4184 adopted September 6, 1966, registered
a strong protest to said decision as an infringement upon the franchise
rights of the City of Chula Vista, and
WHEREAS, in addition to the consistently announced policy of
the City of Chula Vista to provide cable T.V. service to all of the

all purchasers in new subdivisions in the City of Chula Vista could be
potentially deprived of an_y future possibility of cable T.V. service

Dear Mayor Mc Corquodale and Members of the Council:
The recent Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
decision restricting the expansion of our cable TV system has
had a direct impact on citizens of Chula Vista. You granted
our company a franchise and thus have a vested interest in
the continued expansion of our system. The present restriction
directly affects revenues the City will receive, our ability
to provide our service to the areas of the City without it
and the City's plan to restrict the placing of TV antennas on
roof tops.
The Rules and Regulations of the FCC provide for
Petitions for Reconsideration to be filed. We would like the
Council to consider directing the City Attorney to file such
a petition for the benefit of the citizens of Chula Vista.
The last day for filing such a petition is July 29, 1968. We
would be pleased to appear at a Council meeting to discuss
the matter prior to that day.
Very truly o ,
