Commission Seat III - John Langellotti:
Commissioner Langellotti reported he attended an Urban Administration Meeting of
the Florida League of Cities in Orlando. On November 3rd and 4th there is to be
a Legislative Day in Tallahassee and quite a few topics are going to be discussed.
He said he was going to lobby DOT while he was there. There are streets in the
City with 20 mph speed limits and lots of people are complaining about that.
Commission Seat IV - Terri Donnelly:
No report.
Commission Seat I - John V. Torcaso:
Commissioner Torcaso reported there will be a Meet the Candidates Night at Hacienda
Village on October 31 at 7:00 p. m.
Commissioner Torcaso said Cablevision is charging the people $2:97 for carrying
three stations that have always been free. He said he did not like it and was
going to ask the Commission to look at the contract and maybe change it or go
out for bids for another company.
Commissioner Jonas said he has spoken with two other cable companies who are in
competition with Cablevision. He asked them why they do not come into Winter Springs
and their answer was they could not afford to come into Winter Springs.
Commissioner Jonas said there is a tremendous fight going on between Cablevision and
American Tel and Tel. The solution to the cablevision is if you are able to accept
cable through your telephone networks, but obviously the cable systems are going to
fight that. He said that is the market we hope for in the future to lower our rates.
John Ferring, Benitawood Court, spoke about Cablevision of Central Florida and that
they are prohibiting satellite dishes in developments. As far as other companies
not wanting to do business in this City, he said there are satellite companies that
are presently being formed and shaped that can come in on competition.
