The city is in the process of testing the
sound and video, and at this time we’re trying out the best
place for the speakers to be placed. The video is not an easy
problem to solve. The investment for a box is $3500, which
Town Hall and the School are both in need of. The city is
going from digital, to analog to digital and the retail cost
is $200. The cost for the school is also $3500. Would be
saving $700. Staff recommends that the city purchase both
video containers. This cost would later on be addressed in a
supplemental and brought to council for approval. Would like
to have councils approval to purchase both boxes.
Mrs. Thompson made a motion to approve
the purchase of both boxes, seconded by Mrs. Branson.
Roll call: Mr. Lickliter, aye; Mrs. Long,
aye; Mrs. Thompson, aye; Mr. Winkler, aye; Mr. Bowles, aye;
Mrs.Branson, aye; Mayor Humphries, aye.
In 2005 there had been a Sewer problem on
Marie Place. The resident flow was running slowly and we had
it jutted out. This particular sewer runs under the railroad
tracks and creates settling in the sewer lines. Service
Director has indicated this is running slow again, Service
Director has contacted the company to run a video camera
thru this again and then we can compare the compact. To fix
the solution will cost $150,000 - $200,000. The Service
Department will be keeping an eye open for this.
Franklin has informed us that they will
be running the Water Treatment Plant. Asked if our water rate
will decrease, was informed no, but the increase won’t be as
great.
City if having problems with street
lights in the Industrial Park, we are working with Duke Energy
to solve the problem. Another subject relating lighting is for
the island, as you enter the city, with purchasing the
property at 300 Central Avenue we would be able to go under
the road to supply the lighting for the island.
In council’s packet is information
regarding Records Retention.
National League of Cities has provided
information going to Washington March 8-12th. Would
need to know asap.

AN ORDINANCE DETERMINING THE VIDEO
SERVICE PROVIDER FEE TO BE PAID BY A VIDEO SERVICE PROVIDER
OFFERING VIDEO SERVICE IN THE CITY PURSUANT TO STATE
AUTHORIZATION; AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO GIVE NOTICE T
OTHE VIDEO SERVICE PROVIDER OF THE FEE; AND DECLARING AN
EMERGENCY.
Discussion: The SB117 passed earlier in
the year which provides for a state franchising system video
service that is to be provided over wire or cables. This bill
does allow existing franchises and competitions video service
agreements to continue until their expiration. This prohibits
the renewal or extension of those franchise or agreements and
allows a person to apply for a Video Service Agreement when
its current franchise or agreement expires. Our franchise
agreement does not expire until 2008, however, the new bill
puts a stipulation on all agreements in 2012. Now it seems
that Time Warner has two other companies that want to
providing comparable services. AT&T and Cincinnati Bell. For
us to continue in collecting franchise fees we must pass
legislation that would allow us to collect franchise fees from
these new entries.
