OLD BUSINESS---City Council CoveraRe
Staff explained that two more proposals for equipment had been received (one from
Shoreline, and one from Don Anderson) and that Mr. Arnold and Group W Engineer
Evan Guyer would be examining the proposals. Mr. Arnold asked that any action on
this matter be postponed until next month, and asked staff to write a letter to
the Seal Beach Planning Commission asking that the Commission allow for future
4.~cablecasting of their meetings. During the discussion that followed, the subject
of insuring Foundation was briefly discussed. Also, a lengthy discussion took
place between members of the Board and Mr. John Monsen, General Manager of the
Group W Seal Beach office. This discussion concerned the Board's request for a
breakdown of costs for local origination programs, and a definition of staff ass-
ignments and responsibilities concerning those agreed to in the Amendment to the
Franchise Agreement with the City of Seal Beach. Considering the absence of Mrs.
Jones, it was decided that Mr. Monsen meet with Mrs. Jones and Mr. Arnold at a
later date to discuss these issues. The Board also asked that a report on access
fees and a maintenance account be available by their next meeting.

There was a complete discussion of Mr. Ewing's proposal to produce coverage of
four Los Alamitos High School Basketball games. After this discussion, Mr. Ar-

January 9, 1987) with Mr. Ewing to return to the Board at their January meeting,
with this proposal, with the understanding that any in-kind funding or donations
from other agencies be reported. This motion failed for lack of a second.
Mr. Looney then moved that the Board fund one game at $685.00 with the producer to
return a proposal to the Board at their January meeting; this motion failed for
lack of a second.
At this point. Mr. Ewing respectfully withdrew his proposal.
It was the consensus of the Board, and so ordered by the Chair, to adjourn the
Seal Beach Cable Communications Foundation at 9:35 p.m.
