Smektz Mayor of the City of Rochester • City Hall Rochester, Minnesota Dear Mayor Smekta: Re: Ordinance No. 984, Rochester Video, Inc., Franchise We are writing to call attention to what we believe to be an unintential ambiguity in the language finally appearing in Section 7 of Ordinance No. 984, which grants a franchise to Rochester Video, Inc., to operate a community antenna facility in the City. In the last sentence of Section 7--which section was amended on the floor at the time of the Ordinance's adoption by the Council -- there appears an ambiguity as to the purposes for which these facilities may be used. By contrast, it is my memory that the intention expressed in the dis- cussion of this amendment was clear and unambiguious. This sentence is the one which was proposed as an amendment to confine the purposes of the franchise so as to exclude the possibility of their use for "pay television"programs. Were the sentence to include the word "only", I feel sure that the expressed intention of the Council would be clear in the Ordinance. Wihtout that word, however, the sentence seems to fail to convey a clear meaning. In order that this error of inadvertence may be corrected, may I respect- fully request you to propose to the Alderman the adoption of an amendment, during the period prior to the effective date of this Ordinance, haveingthe effect of correcting this omission. Such an amendment could be expressed to take effect on the same date as Ordinance No. 984, and the amendment will -thus have no tendency to delay. A draft of such an amendment is enclosed. In view of the major considerations that were involved in the Council decision to amend Section 7 at the time of adoption of this Ordinance, we earnestly urge the bringing of this omission to the attention of the Council and its correction by amendment. Very trespectfully yours, /s JOHN de J. PEMBERTON, JR." The following proposed amendment to Section 7 of the said Ordinance was also submitted and upon motion by McGuckin, second by Hanlon, the City Attorney was instructed to prepare an ordinance • including the same: Section 7. The Grantee shall provide a minimum of four (4) channels availabe to its customers at any one time, provided satisfactory reception of a minimumof four channels is available in the area, and programs broadcasted on the channels made available shall be transmitted in their entirety without interruption, except for causes beyond the control of the Grantee. By the acceptance of this franchise the Grantee agrees to use its facilities only for the purpose of distributing television signals at broadcast frequencies, such signals originiating from off the air pick-up of regularly licensed television broadcasting stations. �- A letter signed by Stanley F.
