STAFF REPORT
After meeting with Leslie Lopez, Krey announced Heritage had sent a
proposed franchise agreement to Leslie Lopez, which seems to address
all issues the city's been negotiating. Krey will make copies and mail
to members. After a discussion of channels 30 and 53 shared resources,
the committee decided to gather information from the NFLCP conference
and place this issue on the August agenda. Committee member Mann
expressed concern that Channel 53's proposal to sponsor a specialized
training workshop for access producers and to share all election
programming was not an adequate return for $15,000 the committee
agreed to grant Channel 53 next year.
REPORT FROM JOE WILCOX
Because of the early date of this meeting, Wilcox did not have the
details for his report. He will provide this as soon as possible
through the mail.
REPORT FROM DAVE BARNEY
Barney reported that United Cable will contribute $5000. toward
a new character generator, and the City and De Anza College will split
the remaining balance at $2200. each. Barney also reported that 24
persons have applied for the access position, and the second De Anza
College student had won an Academy Award for film animation.
EQUIPMENT UPGRADES FROM UNITED
Wilcox reported that the switcher is being taken from the van and used
in the television center until the new equipment arrives.
DE ANZA UNITED CABLE EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE PROPOSAL
There was no progress to report. Barney asked that this be deferred
until the August agenda.
~Q~IC~ STATEMENT ACCESS/GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
This item was moved to the August agenda.
PURCHASE OF UNIFIED SET
Barney presented a model of a modular set. Krey said she would check
on how much is budgeted for it. The commission will do more research

access producers felt the model looked too outdated.
