expense could be put on hold as only 10-15% of the City households have

Pat Klaers indicated that the majority of the equipment for cable TV would

meetings and to have the Council meetings go over the TV monitors within the
City Hall (i.e. in the training room). The Council agreed to proceed with a
reasonable amount of Cable TV expenditures, but to also keep the Council
advised of when these expenditures are to be made, what the expenditures are
for, and in what amounts.
