She said she would be moving to Springfield, Illinois. Carl Stephens, Ranchlands Homeowners Association, spoke about the park the City has constructed on Tradewinds Road. He said Cil Artman, Public Works Director, has asked the Homeowners Association to select a name, and the name they have selected is "Ranchlands Park". The concensus of the Commission was the approval of the name. Diane Pickett, representing Cablevision of Central Florida, spoke about the recent price increases. She said there were many reasons for the cost of cable going up at this time. One reason was the increase in programming costs; another reason was employee costs, employee benefits; another reason was federally mandated programs and pole attachment agreements with electric and telephone companies have also increased. One of the federally mandated programs is that Cablevision is now required to check quarterly every mile of their system with special equipment. Mrs. Pickett said the F.C.C. is doing some studies on cable and possibly by the end of summer they will come out with some rulings. Congress is also looking at the cable industry. She said Cablevision has put a tremendous amount of capital investment back into this area. In February the City was completely hooked up with the fiber optic cable run, which will provide for better picture quality and fewer interruptions. The City is about 95% built out in the residential area and the Ranchlands area has recently been completed. . Mrs. Pickett did a survey of various cities in the State as follows: Boca Raton $18.45 . . .
