SCHOOL BOARD Kayor Katzekian stated that a television cable RE TV CABLE had been strung between two poles on Ham Lane and that the Council had had an opportunity to inspect the cable so that they could come to a decision regarding the Lodi Elementary School Board's request for Council approval to extend cable across streets and, further, to attach cables to street light poles, as presented to the Council at its October 2, 1963 meeting. Councilman Culbertson said the cables were far from invisible and he wondered what the reaction of the public would be to the stringing of the cable along streets where power lines are underground. He was also concerned about maintenance because of trees, the height of the wire and the placing of an extra set of poles. Mr. Woodrow Mitchell, President of the Board, answered questions concerning the height of the wire and the problems that would have to be met by the Board. The Council felt that the Board should get permission from adjacent property owners before using the light standards. After further discussion, Councilman Dow moved that the City Council ap rove in principle (1) the crossing p(2) of streets and the use of existing street light standards by the Lodi Elementary School Board for the purpose of hanging television cable, with the conditions that (1) the Board secure U mm Minutes of October 16, 1963 continued permission from property owners adjacent to such light standards to hang said cable and (2) before any installation is made, a contract covering all details (as outlined in the October 2, 1963 letter from Dr. Lawson Smith) be submitted from the County Counsel to the Council for approval.
