1/17/84' <br />Page -13- <br />LOUISVILLE COMMUNICATIONS Couricilmembers had a copy of the letter from <br />CORP. WRITTEN RESPONSE Charles T. Romano of the Louisville Communi- <br />cations Cable TV Corp. <br />Mayor Meier commented that it was feeling <br />that: the letter did answer some of the <br />que:~tions asked at the public hearing but <br />answered them basically the same as their <br />previous response and some of the concerns <br />were still not addressed. Wished to have <br />disc:ussion with council as to their reaction <br />to t:he response letter. <br />Councilwoman Morris Commented that there was one issue that had <br />beers addressed that did not appear in the <br />letter. The question had come up regarding <br />differing packages, the possibility of making <br />up your own package rather than those previously <br />offE.red by the company. On the basic Rainbow, <br />you can now pick basic and any three premiums <br />and still get it at the $8.00 rate, aside from <br />Disney, which would be the $9.00 rate. <br />Councilman Cussen Stal=ed he would like something in writing <br />reg<~rding make your own package which seems <br />to be a great concern and too often we hear <br />there things, but felt it should be in writing. <br />His overall response was that he still was <br />not pleased with the response of this letter. <br />Felt it was the same rhetoric over again. <br />The agreement concerning the rates - the con- <br />tract does say the basic rates; but there <br />certainly was indication at the time that <br />we ;negotiated this contract that there would <br />not be a raising of the rates and the comment <br />was•-certainly we wouldn't do that as soon as <br />we take over. That has already happened. <br />Advance notification - we didn't address that <br />in the agreement and probably should have. <br />The response to advance notification certainly <br />didn't satisfy him. The Lafayette rate <br />differential - he surmised they had the right <br />to have a considerable difference, at least <br />20% difference, in the rates that they charge <br />Louisville and Lafayette residents $49.00 <br />versus $63.00 for the Rainbow Gold package, <br />to him was an exhorbitant amount. On the <br />quality of reception, he did not want to be <br />the one that people call - would rather they <br />call Scripps/Howard. In the past few days <br />
