To object to the proposal as presented by Andover <br />due mainly to the fact that because of the in- <br />clusion of very sparsely populated areas of <br />Andover in the initial service area, the entire <br />cable service territory would not be as economi- <br />cally feasible as initially Proposed. The pro- <br />posed Andover portion of the cable service <br />territory would be inconsistent with similarly <br />situated portions of the City of Ramsey which were <br />not in the initial service area of the initial <br />cable service territory proposal. <br /> <br />To direct legal counsel to draft a position paper <br />regarding the Commission's position on the Andover <br />proposal. Said position paper will be forwarded <br />to the State Cable Board and the city of Andover <br />with legal counsel in attendance at the next <br />meeting of the State Cable Board to explain the <br />Commission's position. <br /> <br />To propose to the State Cable Board a 30-day <br />layover forr the purpose~ of allowing Andover an <br />opportunity, if it so desires, to amend its pro- <br />posed amendment to the cable service territory. <br /> <br />To invite the City of Andover to send a repre- <br />sentative to the next meeting of the Commission. <br /> <br />VI. <br /> <br />Discussion of_.

The Com- <br />mission discussed the probability that they would spend <br />one or two meetings conducting needs assessments, <br />analyzing needs assessments, and familiarizing itself <br />with policy information and literature on cable communi- <br />cations. <br /> <br />VII . <br /> <br />Other business. <br /> <br />The Commission discussed the need to know more infor- <br />mation regarding municipal ownership.
