The Marion council postponed initial approval of a cable television ordinance for two weeks as council members call for a thorough study. They cite concerns over extending service to low density areas and unequal costs for underground and above ground drops, with a $20 to $25 installation difference and free setup during the first 30 days.
The council failed to end discussion on a cable franchise on a 2-2 vote with Begley joining Kraut and Carl Foster and Victor Klopfenstein opposing the table. After 30 minutes a motion to table passed 4-0 as Pazour Hall and Mayor Grundy were away on vacation. The proposal would yield 3 percent of gross revenue to the city and charge 7.50 monthly per outlet plus 2.00 for each additional outlet. The system would offer 35 channels with one city channel and at least one for education. Next action is set for Aug 3.
The Marion City Council scheduled a public informational meeting for July 31 on the Boyson Road project at Wilkins School. About 55 residents opposed extending Alburnett Road to West Eighth Avenue citing increased traffic loss of houses and park land.
