Councilman Leary Study Session to be set for Storer/ Scripps Howard Administrator Wurl Councilman Cussen Motion Withdrawn Page -5- Assured council that Scripps-Howard would honor the agreement and legally will be bound by all the terms and conditions of the agree- ment. Advised that Lafayette construction crews would be working in that area within the next 2 months and at that time will hook-up the Medema subdivision if Council approves the contract. Mr. Lyons requested that they too be pro- vided with a list of items that have not been provided by Storer. Requested this written list be provided in advance of their next meeting with the City. Addressing the remote control equipment to be used in the field - advised this would be made available either from Longmont or Lafayette and the system was already in oper- ation. As to origination equipment requested that these be itemized and presented to Scripps- Howard. General consensus that councilmembers pre- sent their concerns to Attorney Rautenstraus, a copy be given to Mr. Lyons, Attorney for Scripps-Howard, and these be discussed at 7:00 P.M. before the council meeting. Felt that if Council was going to discuss an agenda item before the regular meeting, the meeting should commence at 7:00 P.M. He felt it was inappropriate to have these discussions outside an official meeting, as the public should be notified of the discussion. Councilwoman Morris moved, Councilman Leary seconded that a study session be set with Storer Cable TV and Scripps-Howard agreement. Councilman Leary suggested that other items be added to the study session. Advised that a tentative study session date of April 21st has been set with Boulder County. If the Storer/ Scripps Howard discussion would take and hour - Boulder County could be asked to come at 8:30 P.M. Expressed concern that the item then would not be dealt with until the May 3rd council meeting and would cause undue delay for service. Councilwoman Morris withdrew her motion with the assurance that the discussion would be held only during the regular council meeting.
