REFERRAL NO. 2 CABLE TV Council considered the interim report of the Assistant to the City Manager dated October 10, 1973, pertaining to a proposed cable communication system within the City. Staff recommended postponement of any action relative to a TV Cable franchise until the City of Anaheim has received Federal Communication Commission approval of its franchise documents so as to benefit from the data and extensive studies of Anaheim and eliminate unnecessary expenditures of time and energy which would only result in a duplication of effort. After discussion, Council informally agreed with the recommendation, however, it was indicated that an interim report was advisable before February, 1975, or at any time that significant developments occurred with the Anaheim franchise. Council consensus was that a cable communication system within the City was desirable for many reasons, including increased revenues, more diversified entertainment and educational programs, increased communication, and possible use by industry. (Referral No. 2 to be retained on Council Referral List and periodic reports shall be provided to Council as developments warrant.) REFERRAL NO. 7 - MEYERS- MILIAS-BROWN ACT Council considered the report of the Director of Personnel dated September 11, 1973, relating to the formalization of an employer/employee relations resolution.

(Referral No. 7 to be retained on Council Referral List with target completion date of December, 1973.) REFERRAL NO. 15 - DISPOSI- TION OF BRONZE PLAQUES' Council considered the report of the City Manager dated June 28, 1973, relating to the plaques which had been removed from the Old City Hall building.
