Earl Diller, City Manager
DATE• August 12, 1974
SUBJECT Possibility of Running Temporary FROM• Edward T. Putz, Assistant City Engineer:
Limited Cable TV Service to the Southeast Quadrant of the City
I have contacted Gary Dennis, the manager of the local Storer Cable TV in Hermosa,
and inquired about the possibility of supplying limited temporary cable TV service
in the subject area east of the highway. Mr. Dennis informed me that any extension
•
•
of service would have to be authorized by William Shiller, vice president of Storer's
West Coast operations. If the extension of service was authorized, there would
be another three to five month delay before construction could begin, due to the
necessity of Storer applying for and receiving permits from both the G 3neral Tele-
phone Company and the Southern California Ed ison Company for the use of their
poles. Other sources of possible construction delay would be the need to obtain
a construction permit from the Coastal Zone Commission and a permit from the
California Department of Transportation to bring the wires across Pacific Coast
Highway. Once all the permits had been received, construction would take
between one and two weeks.
