Town priority, and Pepi Gramshammer stated he was angry over how much staff time and
expense was spent on the project when he felt the pool would not work here. Ron

to be reviewed every two years. Peter Patten commented that would protect the bed
base of the town, especially if there were a Congress Hall. Mayor Pro Tem Rose made
comments regarding Section 3C that there was no time limit for a unit to be furnished
and made available. After some discussion by Council, it was agreed to add the

read by Mayor Pro Tem Rose. Rick Pylman explained the reasoning for the ordinance and
what language staff wanted to add to the Code. He stated there was one sentence which
the Planning and Environmental Council recommended, but was not included by Larry
Eskwith because it was too subjective. Eric Affeldt agreed with Larry. Eric asked
Kathy Warren of the Design Review Board if she agreed with Larry's language; she felt
it was too loose and was not very comfortable with it. She felt it encouraged two
structures and not one. After some discussion, it was agreed to make the first
sentence of the PEC memo the first sentence of the Section. There was more discussion
as to what the intent should be. After much discussion by Council, staff and Kathy
Warren, it was decided to table the ordinance and rework the wording. A1 Weiss stated

by the Planning and Environmental Commission. Rick Pylman gave background information
on the variance and why staff recommended denial and overturn the PEC decision. Kathy

strictly enforce, an ordinance to be passed, or whatever it would take, to require
these vehicles to stay in single file, use bikepaths and not the roadways, etc.
After discussion by Council and Peter, it was decided to pass the information on to
be reviewed as a part of the Vail Village Master Plan.
Hermann Staufer instructed Peter Patten to push the Cemetery Committee to keep
active.

RE: Regional Transportation System
Dear Dick:
Members of the Regional Transportation Council, which has been established
administratively by the County, have received a memorandum from Lee
Metcalfe dated July 27, 1987 with an attachment a summary by Beth Whittier
concerning the "Eastern Eagle Valley Transportation Council".
The memorandum states that the Board of County Commissioners would be
willing to consider a proposal for a"trial program" for a bus system
similar to the "Summit Stage". The memorandum also states, "The funding
structure would have to include the towns, the metro districts, the county
and appropriate private sector participants."
The Vail Town Council believes that it is appropriate to consider funding
of such a system only from the County since all residents of the County,
whether they live within a municipality or not, pays property taxes to the
County. Also, it is our understanding that the County receives in the
neighborhood of $200,000 a year from the U.S. Forest Service as the
County's share of revenue from ski area receipts for transportation
purposes. Another new taxing district or a complicated form of
contracting among numerous government and private entities does not seem
to be necessary in light of these facts.
Sincerely,
Paul R. Johnston
Mayor

SUBJECT: LEGAL OPTIONS FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF A REGIONAL
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM
Former County Attorney, Beth Whittier, did considerable
research on the above subject and reported on that research
to the "Eastern Eagle Valley Transportation Council" in June
of 1984. A summary of her research is attached.
I believe the Board oP County Commissioners would be willing
to consider a proposal for a"trial program" for a bus
system similar to the "Summit Stage." The funding structure
would have to incIude the towns, the metro districts, the
County and appropriate private sector participants.
My recommendation to the Commissioners would be to earmark a
portion of our sales tax revenues for this program. •
Since the local taxing entities are about to enter their
budget preparation cycles, we need to get the financial
aspects of this proposal defined quickly.

F) LEGAL OPTIONS FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF A REGIONAL
TRAr1SPORTATION SYSTEM In a memorandum from the Fagle County Attorney to
the Transportation Council, the legal options for the
establishment of a regional transportation system was
discussed. This memorandum discussed two methods for
providing a regional transportation system:
intergovernmental agreements and regional service
authorities. Of the two methods discussed, it appears
that the intergovernmental agreements are the only method
available to the County at this time in that a regional
service authority needs to include all of the territory
of at least two counties. There is, however, the
possibility that the legislation could be changed in
upcoming years to allow a regional service authority to
exist in one or portions of one County. We have,
therefore, included it in this discussion.
Intergovernraental agreements are the method used in both
Pitkin County and Summit County.

Section 29-1-203(1), C.R.S., specifical y~ provides, in
part :
"Governments may cooperate or contract with
one another to provide any function, service
or facility lawfully authorized to each of
the cooperating or contracting units,
including the sharing of costs, the imposition of taxes, or the incurring of
debt, only if such cooperation or contracts
are authorized by each party thereto with
the approval of its legislative body or
other authority having the power to so
approve.
o14
"Governments" are defined in Section 29-1-202(1),
C.R.S., to include any political subdivision of the
state, agencies, or departments of state government, or
the United States and; any political subdivision of an
adjoining state. "Political subdivisions" are, in turn,
defined to include counties, cities, towns, service
authorities, school districts, local improvement
districts, law enforcement authorities, all types of
special districts, and any other kind of municipal,
quasi-municipal, or public corporation organized pursuant
to law.
The establishment of a regional transportation
system under the above statuto ry framework would involve
an intergovernmental agreement between political
subdivisions respectively empowered to p rovide
transportation se rvices. Counr_ies are authorized by
-virtue of Section 30-11-101(1)(f), C.R.S., to develop,
maintain and operate mass transportation systems, either
individually or jointly with any government or political
subdivision. Likewise, towns are authorized bv virtue of
Section 31-15-7.11(1)(g), C.p,.S.,.and in.all likelihood
their respective home rule charters, to_develop,
maintain, and.operate mass transportation systems, ei.ther
individually or jointly with any government, county, or
other political subdivision.
W1tI7 respect to special districts, the following
discussion only addresses the powers of inetropolitan
districts since all of the special districts under
consideration are metropolitan districts with the
eYCeption of the Edwards Water District which is
p resently in the process of converting to the Edwards
Metropolitan District. Section 32-1-1004(5), C.R.S., of
the Special District Act provides that a metropolitan
district has the power to establish, maintain and operate
a system to transport the public by bus, rail, or any
other means of conveyance, or any combination thereof,
and nay contract pursuant to an intergovernmental
agree~aent. A metropolitan district cannot on its own `
establish such a transportation system in a county, city
or any other political subdivision which is actually
operating a transportation system except pursuant to such
an intergovernmental agreement. If the raetropolitan
o15
district was not originally organized as having the power
to provide transportation services, the district cannot
e;;ercise such power until the same is app roved by the
district court in accordance with the statutory y
procedures for initial organization of a special
district, and unless authorized, at a regular or special
election, by a majority_of the electors of the district
voting on the question of whether the district should
exercise such transportation poever.
Reoional Service Authorities. Section 17, Article
XIV, of the Colorado Constitution authorizes the general
assembly to provide by statute for the organization,
structure, functions, services, facilities, and poiaers of
service authorities pursuant to certain constitutional
requirements including:
1) a service authority may be formed only upon
the approval of a majority of the qualified
electors voting thereon in the territory to
be included and
2) - the territory within a service auttiority may
. include all or part.of one countv. or home
rule county or all or part of two or caore
_ adjoining counties or home rule counties,
but shall not include only a part of any
city and county, hor.te _rule city or town, or
statutory city or town at the time of
formation of the service authority.
The Colorado Constit.ution further provides that a
service authority shall be a body corporate and a
political subdivision of the state, and raay contract with
any other political subdivision to provide or receive any
fiinction, service, or facility designated by statute; but a service authority shall not be invested with any taxing
pocaer as a consequence of such contract.
The Service Authority Act of 1972, Section
32-7-I01, et seq., C„R,5,, implements the
the aforesaiT constitutional provision. Theolegislative
policies for the enactment of the Act can be found in
Section 32-7-102, C.F,.S., which provides, in pertinent
part :
o16
"It is further declared to be the policy of
the State of Colorado to encourage the
utilization of si_ngle service authorities to
provide those functions, services, and
facilities which transcend local government
boundaries, thus reducing the duplication,
proliferation, and f_ragmentation of local
government. To these ends, this article
shall be liberally construed."
As a brief general overview, the for-mation of a
service authority is initiated by a petition signed by a
specified percentage of qualified electors of the
proposed service authority, or by resolution adopted by a
majority of the governing bodies of the counties and
municipalities having territory within the Uoundries of
the proposed service authority. The petition or
_ resolution is filed with the district court and,
subsequent to a hearing on the sufficiency of such
petition or resolution, the court will appoint an
organizational committee and election committee. The
purposes of the organizational committee include the
deterr.?ination of the maximum ad valorem mill lew (other
than for debt purposes)..=nec.es.sary_to .support each
designated se rvice oF the proposed sPrvice authority upon
its forr,iation; the division -of the service authority into
compact districts of approximately equal population; and
the scheduling of a date for the election for forciati_on
of the service authority. The election is held in
accordance with strict procedures, and for the purpose of
deciding whether a service authority is to be forr.ied, to
provide an opportunity for the voters to approve the
services and maximum ad valorem mill levy of the service
authority, and to elect the board of directors of the
se rvice authority:
A service authorit_y may provide services on a
concurrent or e:cclusive basis, subject to voter
approval. Concurrent basis means that a se rvice may be
provided by a service authority but the adainistration of such service..shall not preclude counties, municipalities
or special districts from providing the sacae or similar
service. Exclusive basis means that the service
authority shall have the sole governmental responsibility
0
17
, . ,
and authority for the provision of such service within
its boundaries; and counties, municipalities and special
disrricts are prohibited from providing such service
within the boundaries of the service authority.
A service authority is empowered, by way of
example only, to sue and be sued; to enter into contracts
and to contract with private persons, associations or
corporations for the provision of any service within or
without its boundaries; to borrow money and incur
indebtedness; to issue general obligation or revenue
bonds; to exercise the power of eminent domain; to levy
and collect ad valorem taxes; to fix and collect rates,
fees, tolls, and other service charges pertaining to the
se rvices of the service authority; to levy and collect
special assessments; to plan for the territory within the
se rvice authority, including the review of all
comprehensive plans of local governments within the
boundaries of the service authority; and to establish
special taxing districts and local improvements
districts.
A service authority may be formed ro include
provision for public surface transportation. In addition
to the general powers of service authorities, a service
authority providino public stir.face transportation shall
have any additional special nowers as provided in the
Regional Transportation District Act, Section 32-9-101-et
sea., C.R.S. However, such a service authority shall be
li ited for the transportation service to a general ad
valorera property tax levy not to exceed one-half mill on
each dollar of valuation for assessment each year.
The najor stumbling block to the fornation of an
Eagle County Regional Transportation Service Authority is
the territorial requirements enacted bv the Legislature.
thation 32-7-104, C..R.S,, provides, in pertinent part,
a service authority shall include all
of the territorv of at least two counties--
_and may include such additional entire
counties as ma_y be proposed, if any county
has some contiguity with another county
18
within the service authoritv and does not result in the
forrsation oF an enclave (Emphasis added)
and further:
It . no coiinty may Ue divided upon
forrnation of service authority or thereafter
excent in the case of a municipality having
territor_y in tioo counties which are not
within the same service authority, either
proposed or formed, in whicti event the
municipality may be included in either of
two service authorities without regard to
count;r boundary lines. . . "
As noted previotisly, the Colorado Constitution provides
that a.11 or part of one count_y may he included within a
service authority, which language appears inconsistent
with its statutory counterpart. The tindersigned has been
unable to find a Colorado appellate court decision which
has directly addressed this inconsistency, or the issue
of wtiether a service authority could be established
within a portion of onlv one countv. I have discussed
this issue with a number of attorneys who have been
involved in the formation of special districts and
service authorities, and their majority opinion is that
strict statutory construction requires an interpretation
that at least two counties be included within the
boundaries of a proposed service authority.
If the Council desires to pursue investihating the
availability of this option, Iwould suggest that a
fornal Attorney General's opinion be requested.

rEMo TO: Honorable Mayor and Town Council
FROM: William D. James, Town Manager
SUBJECT: T.V. Translator System
Summary of Attached Report
~
' The estimated capital cost of a translator system is between
$152,500 and $246,600; annual operating cost from $65,466 to
$69,258. We believe we can provide a financing package that
will establish a charge of no more than $2.00 per home equiva-
lent. We also believe that we could raise significant dollars
from the private sector to help pay for capital costs and
initial engineering. This report will be made available to the
Metro Districts at their August meetings.
The question before the Town is whether or not the Town shall
be the lead agency. linder our proposal, we have reviewed how
the area from Vail to Wolcott can be served by agreement with
the various Districts and Towns in this area. We are not recom-
mending that the County be the lead agency, because of the com-
plexity of serving all of Eagle County and the assessment of a
mill levy.
We appreciate the Council's support, and look forward to working
with you on this project. Upon appropriate action by all agencies, we will develop a detailed budget for costs and funding for
approval. ACTION REQUESTED:
Direct the Town Manager to proceed with the development of an Upper Eagle Valley T.V. Translatoz System.

COMMLJNICATION: CRUCIAL TO WESTERN COLORADO'S FUTURE
By U.S. Rep. Ben Nighthorse Campbell
Much of Western Colorado's charm springs from the majestic
peaks of unparalleled beauty that surround the area. The other
side of the coin, however, is that the mountain ranges that
crisscross the Third Congressional District make travel in the
area difficult and wreak havoc with systems of communication.
The conference today, "Western Colorado Television:
Improving the Picture," gives overdue regional attention to a
problem that affects all residents of Western Colorado. The
coordinating sponsors, District 10 Regional Planning Commission,
Montezuma/Dolores County Metropolitan Recreation District and the
Ouray-Delta-Montrose Board of Television Commissioners, should be
congratulated. For it has become obvious that outdated
communication doesn't link well with the concept of attracting
21st-century businesses and opportunities to our communities.
A zecent article in the Denver Post noted a trend that
modern manufacturing companies are seeking rural communities in
which to relocate. They want a good labor force and a pleasant
climate both of which we can provide in Western Colorado. But
without the convenience of transportation, to move raw materials
and finished products, and effective communication making it
easier to keep in touch with the rest of the world, these job-
- providing companies could become disenchanted or disinterested.

haven for retirees and the babyboomers are less than 20 years
away from that benchmark. But retirees want ready access to the ~
vast world of television, a"luxury" they've become accustomed to
in metropolitan areas. Tourists, too, want to be able to keep in
touch as they seek rest and recreation. .
The picture of television with over-the-air reception,
undependable translator systems, cable companies and the growing
satellite-dish industry is out of focus in Western Colorado.
But a conference such as this, which covers the whole dial of
interests, can do a lot to provide the direction we need to take.
Is fine tuning enough or should we make more dramatic
adjustments? I pledge to help in whatever course is chosen.

WESTERN COLORADO TELEVISION: IMPROVING THE PICTURE
May 27-28, 1987, Montrose, Colorado
Dear Friend,
Enclosed herewith are the materials - Registration Form, Program
Agenda, List of Invited Participants, and information on Motels and
Transportation Services - for your use in attending the two-day con-
ference referred to above.
This seminar has been organized to bring together television
signal originators and distributors with television consumer repre-
sentatives on the Western Slope of Colorado, in an effort to coopera-
tively elarify the issues involved in improving the general availability
of TV signals in the region.
Television services are vital to Western Colorado residents as an
important source of news, information and entertainment. Additionally,
as more people with urban living experiences relocate to Western Colo-
rado for its unique beauty and relaxed lifestyles, and as Western
Slope communities begin more strenuously to market themselves as retire-
ment meccas, the amenities of life, i.e., good TV service, assume even
greater importance, both to newcomers and to traditional populations.
The effort to access and distribute TV signals in Western Colorado
has traditionally been undertaken by small groups, private individuals
or, more recently, by local governmental entities. These efforts have
provided television coverage to some areas, while others still suffer
with little coverage or poor quality_signals.
- The seminar's purposes are to assess the challenges and review
the possibilities, so that all participants may benefit from a better
understanding of the work ahead.
We sincerely hope you can attend WESTERN COLORADO TELEVISION;
IMPROVING THE PICTURE. If there are others who you feel could add
their'expertise, please feel free to share this information with them..
And please contact S.R. "Stan" Broome or myself at District 10 if
you desire further information.
Sincerely,
i

Dear Mr. Connell,
as per our phone conversation, I contacted Netlink
in regards to an LPTV system for Avon, using their six
channels available on Satcom F1.
Ug to two weeks ago, they were able to supply signals
if those signals were in turn "encrypted" (or moved to off
band UHF) on retransmission to insure protection under the
copyright laws. Further legal examination nas caused them
to'temporarily suspend this servicewhile the laws are
being studied in congress.
Depending on now your franchise c,Tith He-ritage is
worded, Avon might have frequency space on the existing
cabie structure; it would bea simple matter, in most cases,
to tie in your own signals. .
In any case, I suggest satellite reception over micro-
wave, as it is less costly and of much higher quality.
Total equipment costs should be less than $30,000 for an
LPTV system broadcasting the six (Denver 4,6,7,9, & 31, and
Aspen/Vail channel 2) Netlink programs. Of course, the widest choice of programming is already
'available to TVRO owners, and Netlinks annual fee of $79.50
for private users compares favorably with the $72.00 one
pays in Red Cliff for two stations of questionable quality
and frequent interruption.
If I ean be of any help with your project, please let
) me know,

Dear A1:
In regard to our previous conversations, please find the information
on pricing for the Bellyache Ridge electronics site below.
Based on your space needs for five (5) translators, each requiring
48" of rack space, and five (5) Scola PR450-U antennas, the rent will
be no more than $510.00 per month. This amount may be reduced, if
the equipment can be combined to use less space.
in addition, the BLM requires a yearly fee. For most customers the
~ fee normally runs $200.00 a year.
If there is any other information you need, please let me know.

Dear Sirs:
In response to the request by Mr. Cal Thomas, I have attached a
copy of the rate page from our FCC tariff applicable to video mi-
crowave service delivery in your area by Western Tele-Communica-
tions, Inc. (WTCI).
The areas we discussed are Avon, Minturn, Eagle, Berry Creek, Ed-
wards, East Vail, and Eagle County in general. The applicable
rate section is Mountain Division Zone 4._ The number of homes
will be based upon the 1980 census population data for the loca-
tions within your translator or other system service coverage
area, divided by a factor of 3.5 persons per home, to determine
- the number_ of homes.
As an example, if the population in your service area was 12,500
persons, the number of homes would be 3,571, and the monthly rate
for the five Denver channels would be $4,263.90/month ($3,750 for
first 3,000 homes plus $.90 each for 571 additional homes =
. $3,750 + a513.90).
a
As we discussed yesterday, microwave service requires path
planning, frequency coordination, and system engineering efforts
to determine feasibility of providing service to your proposed
translator location. This is necessary for WTCI to determine any
special construction charges and one-time construction charges
- applicable to providing service. We require a payment of $1,500
to cover the cost of this engineering for each site location you
propose.
1 of 2
PO BOX 41 17 ENGLEWOOD. COLORADO B0155
This payment will be credited towards the total one-time con-
struction charge at such time as service is provided. If seve-
ral translator site locations are. engineered, only one $1,500
payment will be credited if service is ordered to only one of
these engineered locations. -
It is important to caution you that WTCI may desire to discon-
tinue at a future time our video distribution services using ter- restrial microwave radio systems.. Our costs for maintenance and
operation of the transmission systems have increased substantial-
ly since start-up of these services. In a,ddition, a satellite
distribution service is in operation which provides similar video
channel services to various customers. Due to these and other
factors, it may not be economical for us and our customers to
continue to use our terrestrial microwave network.
If you desire a firm quotation for service to a specific loca-
tion, please provide us with a letter along with an attached
check for '51,500. This letter must also identify 1) the channels
required..2) a technical person point of contaet, 3) the techni-
cal characteristics and 4) the service coverage of your transla-
tor and/or other system equipment. Please attach a list of the
system(s) cities and unincorporated areas serviced by your sys-
tem(s) with population based upon the 1980 census.
Please call Mr. Jim Carlson'or me directly if you require addi-
tional information.

Dear Cal,
To summerize our recent conversations regarding the use of Eagle
Site Company's Upper powd Electronic Site:
We will be most amenable in working with the Town regarding the
installation of its translators at this site.
Estimated annual site rental for this system will come to
$20,'000.00. . If the system is fed by satellate, we will approve the installation
of necessary receive equipment at the site, rent for this installation
j is extimated at an additional $2,400.00,pes year.
If the system is fed by microwave, through WTCI, annual rent will
amount to about the same figure, that is, microwave receive
equipment will cost about the same in annual terms as the satellite
receive gear, though I would have to evaluate the wind load on
the main tower if microwave is used.
Eagle Site co. can provide installation of your TRANSMISSION
. system for an estimated $5000.00.
ank you for your interest in the Upper powd Site.

Pursuant to our telephone conversation today, this will
confirm that Section 74.731(f) of the FCC's rules permits a
television broadcast translator station to originate up to 30
: seconds per hour of local PSAs, commercial advertising mes-
sages, or emergency announcements.
With respect to commercial messages, however, the FCC ha s
cautioned that the translator operator must not substitute its
commercial message for a commercial message being carried•at
the same time by the originating station.
A copy of therule in question is enclosed for your
reference.
Yours truly,

Dear Mr. Connell:
I have been talking with Mr. Cal Thomas as to the feasibility of you being
able to use the oomron carrier signal from our facility at Sunlight Feak.
Technically, that sounds feasible and it is O.K. with Garfield County as
long as appropriate arrangements are made with our comnon carrier, Western
Tele-Comnunications, Inc. Their charge to us was negotiated based on the
population of our coverage area, so with the additional population of your
-area they would probably require more revenue. We would prefer that you
negotiate with them directly, but if that does not appear feasible, we
will assist you wherever we can. If Garfield incurs any increased cost
,due to your use of the signal we wuld expect to be coripensatec3 for this.
Right now, with the exception of the comrbn carrier, we do not see any
significant areas of increased cost. Be aware however that the Federal
Goverrunent is attempting to collect rental fees from translator sites. We
. are vigorously opposing this, but may be unsuccessful. This may result in
some future unknown cost.
I told Mr. Thomas that I would send you a aopy of our connon carrier
oontract. I have not yet located a copy, so I am sending you a copy of •
the last billing from the corrIInon carrier: Hopefully, that will give you
enough data to get moving. We will oontinue to search for a copy of the
contract and will send it when located. -
If we can be of further assistarice, please call.

llear Sirs:
i woiild like to express my opinion about ttie TV signals. I live in
ilotclikiss aiid I am t?ooked up to caUle with Delta County 'I'eleCortun. When
Ipciy my caUle '1'V Uill I pay for the 'I'V siynals I receive, wliich include
11135. 11I3S in llelta Cou?lty is on the tax rolls, whic}i cost t}ie resideiits
o[ Uelta Couiity about $36,000 a year. Siiice I am liooked up to cable,
tliis is ot iio Uc»elit to me. Tlie same is true of everyone in the county
• wfio have cable. So wliat this amounts to is that cable customers pay for
tlieir siyiial (('13S} aiid ttlen pay agaici througli taxes for those who do not
liave cable. I ask wtiy is this forced on me, since I receive no benefit
from the tax.
1'o make matters worse, there is talk of bringing in four more stations
and puLting them on the tax roll. If ttiey cost as much as PDS this cost
would be $180,000 a year Eor five stations. 1lgain cable customers would
tioL be?iefit From this.' SJe would actually be paying twice for the same
siynal.
rty solution to this would be to liave the county get out of the TV
business. If a custotner wants good TV signals and cable is not available,
t}iey could buy a disli and a descrarrbler. We have several satellite dish
businesses in the county that would welcome the new custoiners.
I clon' Y, tiiink we need any hialier property taxes in Delta County.

P.O. Box l,1i;~
Hotchkiss, Co. 81419 Re: TV signals
Dear Mr. Allyn,
Thank you for taking the time to express your opinion about
television service in Delta County.
. As the county's public television project director, I would
like to respond to some of your observations.
_ In working with the commissioners of Delta, Ouray and Mont-
rose Counties on their joint PBS project since 1989, I can assure
you they share your concerns about operational costs of the PBS
service and the need to keep property taxes as low as possible.
The 1987 PAS budget assesses Delta County residents a total
of $38,531 as their share of the PBS translator system which
serves all three county areas. This is abcut $1.80 annually
per resident for this over-the-air signal. The counties' involve-
ment with PBS came in 1981, when a group of citizens strongly
supported a county application to a feder.al agency for 75$ of
the construction funds needed to build the four sites in Delta
County.
In turn, the federal agency required the county to ensure
the continued provision of this signal as a public service for a
10-year period from the close of the grant award. As a DCTC cable customer, you do receive the same PBS signal,
whic~ until very recently was taken free from the county's trans-
lator system by the cable company. When DCTC decided to begin
paying for the PBS signal, among others, about two months ago
from the Netlink satellite signal service, the cable company
announced that a rate hike on the basic cable package would be
needed to pay for the new satellite feed, among other costs.
The rate hike, scheduled to take effect Aug. 1, will increase
that basic package fee from $11.50/month - or $138 yearly - to
$19/month - or $168 annually.

/ mate 6,064 county homes. Delta Cable and Paonia Cable serve some
of the remainder. Those county residents outside cable service .
areas`who own dish systems - if they wish to receive the PBS and .
other Denver stations via satellite - must now purchase a Video-
Cypher II (desrambler) and pay Netlink an $80 annual signal
acquisition fee.
A full third of the annual county PBS budget-is paid as a
signal acquisition fee to a commercial common carrier microwave,
Western Telecommunications, Inc., a company connected with Tele-
Communicatio.ns, Inc., one of the nation's largest telecomm com-
panies. After more than three years of persistent discussion,
WTCI at this time still exhibits no willingness to adjust what
we consider to be an excessive rate for this educational signal.
And WTCI also owns 40$ of Netlink, which so far has not sold its
satellite signals to any translator company.
Because the Western Slope is virtually held hostage by
signal purveyors who we think refuse to be reasonable in their
fee assessments, the county commissioners, along with District
10 Regional Planning Commission and a southwestern recreation
district responsible for TV distribution in the Cortez area
sponsored a Western Colorado regional TV meeting in May, attended
by more than 70 telecommunications professionals. The meeting's
purpose was to analyze the present situation, review options and
come up with a task force of volunteers charged with the develop-
ment of a plan for a long-term solution that would hopefully cost
residents less to operate while providing increased TV services
to more residents.
Western Slope residents, by voicing their frustrations con-
cerning inadequate televis.ion services to their elected offi-
cials, have made a study of this problem a region-wide priority.
I think we can all agree that there is a need to keep
Western Colorado dollars working at home.
Sincerely,
Kathy Hopkins, PTP Director md
