February 26, 2007 <br /> <br />CITIZEN COMMENTS <br />Beverly Hacker, 3710 A Connecticut <br /> <br />Ms. Hacker is connected with what is called PEG people. She said that with <br />Senator’s Bray’s threat of filibustering SB 284, they were able to get a few <br />changes. Ms. Hacker encouraged the city to insist on PEG in exchange for use of <br />their right-of-ways. The bill limits the PEG channels to three being required but <br />now grandfathers in any existing channels. Another point that Ms. Hacker <br />emphasized that the city needs to do is to inquire about who is going to pay for the <br />connection and equipment needed for educational channels. Lastly, she <br />encouraged the Council to protect the CALOP funding as they have produced <br />great educational materials. <br /> <br />This Public Hearing was closed at 8:45 p.m. <br /> <br />3.
