Dear Mr. Thayer:
On April 20, 1981, the Tustin City Council adopted P, esolutton Number 81-48
which allowed Community Cablevtston Company the flexibility to charge cer-
tain new rates for its new 27 channel services which began April 30, lgS1.
Part 2 of the Resolution states.the City- Council shall consider, in ninety
{gO) days, a rate increase for those subscribers electing to maintain 12
channel service as fol?ows.'

(t) Association Rate
(ii) Singl? Rate
C. Additional Outltts
$10.00
6.70
8.00
Z.O0 per month {each)
The purpose for .postponement of the approval of this section was to allow
necessary time for the Laurelwood Homeowners' Association to work out an
acceptable legal method to increase rates to the residents since there was
some question concerning the percentage increase and the limiting statement
contained in their ¢.C. & Rs.
I have discussed this with Margarete Thompson., the President of the Laurel-
wood Homeowners' Association'and amadvtsed that the problem has been worked
out.and we can proceed to include this item on the. agenda.
Please.place this on your Council agenda for the meeting of July 20, 1981.
