Copies of the tapes would be made available on a check-out basis for residents with tapes stored for posterity at Town Hall. Their committee agreed that top quality was essential and recommended approval of the higher end budget. He noted that other cities had not necessarily gone for the higher quality but so many changes had been made since their systems had been put in that it was difficult to make a valid comparison. The equipment could be rented but not the operators. He also commented that Los Altos and Palo Alto did not know what their viewership was. Mr. Wythe commented on the issue of webtv and suggested that he go back to his committee and get more information about this to bring back to Council and also obtain a more specific cost proposal. Michael Scott, 27856 Black Mountain Road, offered the Council the alternative option of webtv and briefly explained how this could work. David Vellequette, 13944 Fremont Pines Lane, cautioned that presently homes could not get the best quality off the webtv. He suggested renting the tv equipment at this time and going with webtv when advancements had been made in the area of home reception quality. Council thanked the Utility and Information Systems Committee for all of their work on this project and the excellent presentation. They supported proceeding with this project with the higher quality equipment. It was agreed the committee would obtain more specific information and bring this back to Council at a future meeting. Dauber did ask the committee to find out who administered this project in other cities and if done by staff approximately how much time it took. • 3. PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT 4.
