This being the time and place, as advertised, for a public hearing on the granting of an additional Television Antenna Franchise in the City, Mayor Ander- son d~clared the hearing open. Mr. Leon Papernow, representing Community Cable Casting Corporation, stated that in case the Council decides to issue an addi- tional franchise, his Company is an applicant for such additional franchise. Mr. Papermow recon~nended that the Council impose restrictions on the franchise of Mission Cable, Inc., at this time which would prohibit him from going beyond the areas in which he has now made partial installation. Also that the Council re- ceive applications for franchises from others to service the rest of the City. Attorney DeWitt Higgs, representing Video Cable Systems, asked that the Council open up other areas in the City for bidding by television antenna com- panies for franchises. Mr. Gibbs, District Manager of Video Cable Systems, requested that the Council consider splitting the City into roughly two geographical areas with "L" Street as the dividing line, and granting a new franchise for the area south of "L" Street; that pole rights be made available to any other company that might be selected and that specific terms for completion of work as per schedule be set up for any company who might be granted a franchise. Mr. Henry Goldstein~ Vice President of Mission Cable TV, Inc., stated that in his opinion his company has substantially conformed to all the require- ments of their franchise to-date in an effort to bring community television an- tenna service to Chula Vista. Mr. Dick Brown, Manager of the Pacific Telephone Company in Chula Vista, answered questions asked by the Councilmen. The President of the San Diego Community Antenna Television indicated to the Council that his company is interested in rendering service to the City of Chula Vista in case the Council decides to issue another franchise. In order to have time to study new material received on the matter of television antenna franchises~ it was moved by Councilman McAllister, seconded by Councilman McMains, and carried that the public hearing be held over until July 13 at 7:00 P.M.
