Wilson, City Attorney Edward J. Cooper, and Clerk of the Council Janice C. Guy, as well as members of the press and representatives of Cable TV firms and the Santa Aha Chamber of Commerce. CATV TASKS The Mayor explained that he had met with representatives of the four cable television firms currently under consideration by the City of Santa Ana for a CATV franchise to clarify uncertainties regard- ing the selection process, and that the purpose of this meeting was to establish guidelines for proceeding in an orderly manner with the selection process. The City Manager then distributed copies of a list of tasks rel- ative to the selection process, which had been developed by the CATV Technical Advisory Committee. Councilmembers discussed tasks numbered 1-5 on that list, and specified several modifications which they felt should be included in the process, including, but not limited to, the need to identify specific outputs for each task, a desire to personally interact with the Technical Advisory Committee, and the necessity of identifying a method for selection of the final candidate prior to the date for such selection. The City Manager inquired as to what role the Council wished be assigned the CATV firms in this process, and recommended they be treated as "vendors" of any goods/service to the City. Council agreed to continue discussion of the item on the regular May 4 agenda. ~ /~ ~ ADJOURNMENT The Mayor declared the meeting adjourned at 2:04 p.m. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 143 MAY 4, 1981
