candidates for the positions of Solid Waste Administrator and Recycling
Coordinator, which he said he hoped to complete next week.
Vickie Kelley said her employer, Northwest Arkansas Waste Management, was 53.3
struggling with some tests at the landfill, and she encouraged the City Board to
remain open-minded until tests results are completed. She said when you have a
contaminated spring, as has been identified, the tests should be approached in
the nature of "let's find out how the spring got polluted" and not as if "we want
to prove that the landfill did it."

WARNER CABLE FRANCHISE
The Mayor introduced a report from the City Manager regarding an action plan for
moving forward on consideration of a proposed cable franchise ordinance;
postponed indefinitely at the January 17 Board meeting.
City Manager Pennington said the staff developed a plan, should the City wish to
proceed to build a City -owned cable system. He said this would not eliminate the
idea of looking for another cable company. He said the plan consisted of three
recommendations:
1.
Retain the services of an experienced cable consulting firm. The firm
would be required to review the market feasibility, estimated cost of
construction including head ends, cable amplifiers, line relocation,
pole rental, underground cabling and yard restoration, personnel and
operating costs,etc., as well as a time frame in which this could be
accomplished.' The firm should be familiar with both the legal and
technical aspects of cable television. Pennington estimated a cost
ranging from $30,000 to $50,000. He added that a preliminary review
could cost from $5,000 to $12,000.
2. As soon as possible after reaching the decision, form a Cable
Television Commission as required by statute with regard to the
existing franchise holder.
3. It would not be cost effective to establish a "hot-line" for cable
complaints to monitor Warner Cable over the remaining life of Warner's
existing franchise, as suggested by some Board members. Instead, we
should announce clearly through public service announcements and
newspaper ads that concerns or legitimate and provable complaints
should be put in writing and directed to the City Manager. Forms
should be developed, clearly advertised and made available in the
community, which would be used for citizen comments. These will be
included in a cable review file. These written documents would of
legal necessity, have to be specific in nature rather than general.
It should be noted that this item could be used as a monitor to
determine compliance withnotonly the existing, but any new franchise
if one is issued now or in the future.
Pennington said a letter was sent to the City from Warner Cable and has been
transmitted to the City Board, regarding some possible changes in the language of
the proposed franchise. He said the changes dealt with the time frame when the
franchise would go into effect. He said the letter, dated February 13, indicates
