ND CITIES CABLE COMMUNICATIONS <br /> <br />COMMISSION <br /> <br />July 2, 1984 <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Chief Andy Revering, Anoka Police Dept. <br />Chief Ron Harwood, Champlin Police Dept. <br />Cheil Mike Auspos, Ramsay Police Dept. <br />Sheriff R.W."Buster" Talbot, Anoka County Sheriff's Dept. <br />Undersheriff Don Dwyer, Anoka County Sheriff's Dept. <br />Sheriff Don Omodt, Hennepin County Sheriff's Dept. <br /> <br />RE: Quad Cities Cable TV Emergency Alert Override System <br /> <br />The Quad Cities Cable TV system is equipped with an emergency override system <br />as provided for In our Joint Cable TV Franchise. In accordance with the <br />Franchise Ordinance the City or Commission is to designate an entlty that is <br />to control the alert system. Article III, Section 5, Paragraph C of the <br />Franchise Ordinance 5tares as follows: <br /> <br />"Grantee will provide an audio/video emergency alert override system <br />that will permit the Interruption by designated City officials of <br />all audio(including FM) and video programming, instructing citizens <br />to switch to Channel 10 (Government Channel) for emergency announcements." <br /> <br />The Commission at .their meeting in June determined the Cities would be best <br />served if a demonstration and explanation of the alert system was held solely <br />for the authorized departments. The Commission decided the only appropriate <br />way to determine a controlllng authority was to receive input from your <br />respective departments. <br /> <br />I have scheduled a demonstration seminar to be held at the Group W Cable <br />facility located at 737 East River Road, Anoka on Wednesday, July I1 at 1:30pm. <br />You, and any member in your department that would benefit, are invited to attend. <br /> <br />In addition, I will give a brief explanation of the cable system that serves <br />the four communities and its two-way interactive capabilities between Cities. <br /> <br />If I have chosen an inappropriate date or you are unavailable, I am flexible <br />to re-schedule or arrange a private demonstration, If you have concerns, please <br />contact me at the above number. <br /> <br />Thank you for your time. <br /> <br />Si. ncerely, <br /> <br />Terry 0'Conneil <br />Cable Franchise Administrator <br /> <br />cc: City Managers <br /> <br /> <br />
