CITY COUNCIL MAY 24, 1983
ARROYO GRANDE, CALIFORNIA PAGE THREE
STEVE BURRELL of Sonic, explained through the use of graphs and
diagrams, how satellite signals are received, where and how the Los Angeles
signals are picked up, and how the microwave distribution system at Cuesta
Peak sends the signals to the various subscribing communities.
MR. HARGAN continued the visual. presentation to clarify SONIC's eco-
nomic situation, stating that if Sonic were following the Consumer Price
Index, the cable rate should be $17.55. He stated. the rate increase being
requested from $8.00 per month to $9.00 per month needs to be in effect
July 1, 1983.
GEORGE HILL, 288 Sunrise Drive, stated that reception of Cable has been
terrible in the Sunrise Terrace Mobile Home Estates. STEVE BURRELL explained
that this mobile home park owns Its Internal cable television system and that
although Sonic had offered to take over the system and upgrade it while the
rest of the City's system was being rebuilt, their offer was not accepted by
the owners of the mobile home park. He stated the reception problems in the
park are due to the internal system being old and in need of repairs; but
.Sonlc's hands are tied to provide better service since they have no control
over It beyond the main connection to the park.
GEORGE BURTON, 350 Sunrise Drive, of the Mobile Home Associates, stated
he has called other areas being served by Sonic when transmission problems
occur at .the park, and, they have also reported outages at the same time.
STEVE GORDON of SONIC explained how outages at certain points effect
lines to various areas being served.
Councilman:Gallagher stated that poor reception was still being received
since the rebuilding of the system. .Mr. Burrell stated. that City Manager
Mack had indicated receiving only three complaints of poor reception since
completion of --the rebuilding.
EDITH LINDLEY, 836 Kingsbury Drive in Sunrise Terrace Mobile Home Park,
complained about the poor reception and service.
RUSS MERRIS, 345 Sunrise Drive, Manager of the 5un'rlse Terrace Mobi Ie
Home Estates, stated the park has 540 residents very disenchanted with Sonic
service. He further requested that a rate increase be held in abeyance until
an independent study is made of the Park's system, which Sonic claims is
defective. The study will be completed by the 31st of this month and a
report on its 'results given the City around the 1st of June.
NEVILLE ROMAIN, The Pike, stated that the TV picture is subject to
regular disruptions and cited his dissatisfaction with the way complaints are
handled by Sonic.
ED AIKEN,.. 432 Gar.den Street, commented regarding poor service and trans-
missions, stating that this should have been corrected by the recent rebuilding.
He further cited his disappointment with Channel 6.
City Manager Mack questioned SONIC on various matters, as follows:
1) What is the anticipated life of the major improvements put in? Mr. Hargan
answered 12 to 15 years; 2) Should the increase be given, would Sonic put in
sufficient monies to maintain the improvements at the quality level of the
stated life of the system? Mr. Hargan answered in the affirmative. 3) City
Manager Mack.asked what criteria this Counci I should use to measure the rate
increase request. Mr. Hargan replied the need for a greater return on
invested capital, which now is less than the national rate. Wi th the rate
increase, Sonic would realize a 14t% composite with a 16% return. 4) City
Manager Mack inquired as to Sonic's previous statement that they have the
uni lateral right to increase the rate without Council approval. Mr. Hargan
stated that this right was available and that Sonic does qualify for deregula-
t ion. 5) City Manager Mack then asked why Sonic keeps coming back before
the Council with its rate increase request. Mr. Hargan briefly outlined
deregulation statutes and indicated Sonic's preference to not deregulate,
because of the paper work involved and fees assessed by the California Public
Broadcas t i ng Sys tem Foundat i on, wh i ch Son i c wou Id rather pay to the City.

Councilman Millis asked how many basic cable subscribers there are from
th i s C i .ty. Mr. Hargan replied 4,222 includir~, the commercial hookups.
.,
Mayor Smith requested clarification of the Sunrise Mobile Home Estates
situation. Mr. Hargan stated that Sonic is waiting outside the gate to take
the system over and that the park is billed a bulk rate, but if Sonic were
to take over the system, the subscribers would be billed individually.
In answer to Councilman Vandeveer, Mr. Hargan stated that Sonic does go
into the park to try to maintain it, even though the system does not belong
to them, but it definitely needs a new rebuilt system.
MRS. LINDLEY reiterated problems with service and transmissions being
experienced by subscribers of Sunrise Park.
GEORGE HILL of Sunrise Terrace commented on Sonic's desire to buy the
internal system.
Mr. Hargan explained further the attempts made to resolve problems with '-'
Sunrise Terrace.ls system.
RUSS .MERRIS commented further, stating they wanted something definite
regarding alleged problems of the Park's system.
STEVE GORDON of Sonic further explained some of the problems with the
Park's internal system.
There being no further public comment on this matter, Mayor Smith
declared the hearing closed.
Council discussed the matter at length, basically having no objection
to the requested rate increase but questioning the quality of transmissions
and servi ce call.s. Further discussion was also held regarding Councilman
Gallagher's previous suggestion that a survey be conducted by Sonic Cable
TV, whereby every fifth'Sonic subscriber is mailed a questionnaire requesting
they respond to que.stions regarding quality of service, response to service
calls, etc., ~/ith responses to be mai led to City Hall where tabulation would
take place.
After Council discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Millis,
seconded by Councilman Gallagher and carried, directing that Sonic Cable TV
have every fifth subscriber picked from its computer list and sent a survey
questionnaire, with the response to be sent to Arroyo Grande City Hall for
:tabulat ion. Said survey to include a request for response to questions
regarding qua.lity of service and Sonic'~ handling of calls for service.
Mr. Hargan pointed out that Sonic needs 21 days lead time to notify
subscribers of a rate increase and that they would not be sending survey
questionnaires to bulk rate subscribers, such as Sunrise Terrace Mobile
Home Estates.
After further Council discussion and direction, City Attorney Shlpsey
prepared and read for its first reading, the title of an Ordinance amending
the Municipal Code to increase the basic Sonic Cable TV's monthly rate from
$8.00 to $9.00. Thereafter, a motion was made by Councilman Vandeveer,
seconded by .Councilman Gallagher and un~nlmously carried, to dispense with
reading the balance of the Ordinance.

parcel be no'more than 80 acre feet. He asked Director of Public Works Karp

ized to make certain it isn't adding more drainage to the Sports Complex.

on the drainage problem. Clark Moore reviewed the history of drainage in
that area .and type of soil in the area and its interaction with the drainage.

the ponds through use of pumps in three days, but the problem now is money.
Mayor SmHh stated this matter would be on the Council's next Agenda to
discuss various options to resolve this matter.

mentation be kept of facts and figures discussed.
