The Town Clerk offered for the record the Affidavit of Posting
and Publication duly signed and notarized by Beatrice Osten of
the W&SD News. (These Affidavits are attached hereto and made
a part thereof of the minutes of this Hearing).
Supervisor Diehl explained that the present rate is $4..55 and
the company is petitioning for an increase to $6.00 per month.
Mr. Calhoun, General Manager of US Cablevision stated that a
financial statement had been filed with the Town Clerk. He went
into detail why they were requesting this increase. Operating
costs were mounting all the time and even this increase would
only cover a portion of it.
Mr. Gus Tullo asked about the local station and why they didn't
broadcast the Pop Warner football games and other sport and local
events.
Mr. Calhoun said they hoped to increase coverage on local station.
He presented a statement addressed to Mr. Diehl which supported
his request for a rate increase. In comparison to other towns,
Wappinger was still low.
Mr. Jensen stated that residents in the Myers Corners Area, Oakwood
Knolls Development complained of reception; he had received
numerous calls and generally reception was very bad around 9 to
9:30 at night.
Mr. Calhoun said he would check it out if given names and
addresses. He just wanted to keep the customers happy.
No one else spoke.
Mr. Holt moved to close the Hearing, seconded by Mr. Jensen
and unanimously carried.
The Hearing closed at 7:25 P.M.
