Unanimous vote. Community Relations Chamber of Commerce City Attorney Edwards reported that the Council had awarded the Chamber of Commerce a sum of $15,000 at their meeting of August 18, 1981, for a program outlined by the Chamber at that time. Mr. Edwards said since August, the Chamber has found need to change their program and these changes are outlined and included in the Agenda Report before the Council tonight. Mr. Edwards stated the request from the Chamber is to approve the changes and to authorize payment of the $15,000 as follows: The sum of $10,00 now and $5,000 January 10, 1982. Discussion followed on the Easter Egg Hunt proposed by the Chamber of Commerce, with one member of the Council feeling that perhaps the Chamber's event could replace the one conducted by the City and thus, save the City some funding; one Council Member felt the City would probably benefit from an additional Easter Egg Hunt. Moved by Councilman Hayes, seconded by Councilwoman Cisneros, to approve the program changes by the Chamber of Commerce and to disburse the $15,000 allocated as requested. Unanimous vote.

Mr. Ochoa, stated that he has completed negotiation with all utilities involved for licensing clearance to enable Buena Vista to proceed with construction and stringing of cable on the various utility poles. Mr. Ochoa stated the main obstacle is the actual pole clearance by the utilities themselves which then allows Buena Vista to place their cable on the utility poles. Mr. Ochoa indicated that they are three months behind their original schedule, however, they are now reporting that the first phase of the project or approximately 100 homes will have cable service by January 1982. Mr. Ochoa stated the entire project should probably be complete by summer should everything continue on target. Mr. Ochoa and Mr. Moctezuma Esparza assured the Council that Buena Vista is sincerely attempting to fulfill their part of the project, they have awarded a contract to Allen Construction to commence cable construction in the first phase; however, all is dependent on third party clearances. Both gentlemen assured the Council they will continue to work in good faith and keep the Council abreast of the work progression. N01V ;; 1981
