Cable TV Complaint re Overhead Cable Lines - Cost Estimates to Relocate Lines Mrs. Taylor asked how much contribution Group W would expect to re-route or change from aerial to underground. Council referred Mrs. Taylor to the cost estimates from Group W, which Council assumes 100% contribution. Mrs. Taylor asked if Group W would also bury the existing power lines, if they bury the cable lines. McNiesh stated she did not believe Group W could change the power or telephone lines. Mrs. Taylor said the lines are a "real eyesore" as they are now; stated they are not interested in Cable TV; feels Group W should pay the costs. Rauenhorst suggested that because this is a unique situation, Council should ask Group W to reconsider and ask them to absorb a large percentage of the cost in this unique situation; stated she'd like a suggestion from Group W - City and homeowner could then share the balance of the cost. Hicks said he does not want to spend City money; feels it would be o.k. for Group W to pay a percentage and the balance by the resident. Mrs. Taylor, when asked her preference of the two options, said she'd prefer option #2. Rauenhorst moved, seconded by Hicks, that Council recommend to Group W that Group W assume the major portion of the cost of burying the line because of this unique situation and the negative impact the cable has on the Taylor's property; Taylor to assume the balance of the cost. Motion carried unanimously. (4-0) REPORT OF VILLAGE ENGINEER DONALD CHRISTOFFERSEN Bussard Court Drainaqe (Counci1member Rauenhorst withdrew from the Council discussion and action).
