Councilman Spiliotopoulos initiated Council discussion by stating that he could not justify the rate increase for service that was not up to standard. Councilman Rega concurred with Councilman Spiliotopoulos. Councilman Reid stated that he felt that Tele-Vue Systems were trying to re- solve their problems, both technical and in public relations. Mayor Getton admitted that there was room for improvement but also stated that Tele-Vue System's current rate of return of 2.13% was not a fair amount. Discussion ensued regarding the amortization schedule on the rate of return. Mr. Fales advised the Council that his recommendation had included that the amorti- zation be over the 20 year life of the franchise and that this can be reviewed and adjusted if the proposed 5.12% rate of return was not in order. It was moved by Councilman Reid and seconded by Councilman Beratlis that Resolution No. 69-188, amending the existing resolution and ordinance to increase the CATV rates to subscribers from $5.00 to $6.00 per month, the City Franchise tax from 2% to 5%, to eliminate the $25.00 installation fee on all aerial installa- tion and the amortization schedule for Tele-Vue System's rate of return be reviewed every five years, be adopted.
