A request from Upper Valley Telecable Company to have the City pass an ordinance
making damage to their lines, obstructing service, unauthorized use of the service,
etc., illegal was referred to the City Attorney to make a recommendation. The
Attorney was also asked to advise the Council on a request made by KID Broadcasting
Company to have the City act on a petition of waiver which regulations require them
to have in order that they might own an interest in the cable television business.
Approval was given to a proposal made through Mayor Turnbow by the City Mainten-
ance Supervisor to remove the drinking fountains in Lions Park since they are not
usable due to damage by the public. Charges against a new boy, who lives across
the street from the park, for recent destruction to one of the fountains is being
handled by the Attorney and the Sheriff's Office.
A copy of a request from the residents of Sabin Drive for further consideration of
speeding problems on that street was presented to Council members and the attorney.
The delegation will be scheduled to appear at the next regular meeting to receive
informed answers to their questions and discuss the situation as needed.
The pos sibility of making bicycle paths in certain places throUghout the city because
of the increased bicycle traffic was presented by Mayor Turnbow for the future con-
sideration of the Council. Opening of such a path through the Horace Smith property
between Ammon Road and the Southwick Addition to provide more safe access to the
Hillview School for Children living east of the Ammon Road was given special em-
phasis, and suggested for a cost study, etc. Mayor Turnbow's proposal to start
registering bicycles in the City beginning in 1974 was felt advisable by the Council,
and the authority for this will be incorporated into the recodification.
