242 Progress Report - CATV . City Manager introduced Mr , William Sinkunas , Vice President of Peninsula Cable Television Company , and stated he had been asked to make the progress report to Council . Mr . Sinkunas , 1318 Marlin Avenue , Foster City , advised of the marketing program which had now been mailed to potential subscribers to this service and of the first mass installation of sutscribers which had been made to the cable . He advised hereafter , weather permitting , of their hope to make 100 to 250 installations per week . He gave assurance of their being well able to meet the schedule set forth in the franchise granted their company . Mr , Sinkunas also explained change in their personnel in that Mr . Laughton was still a stockholder and Director in the company , but that he now intended to pursue his other interests in the CATV field on a full time status . Mr . Sinkunas then reviewed his own experience and qulifications . In answer to questions by Council , Mr . Sinkunas explained 15 miles of line now prepared by the PG&E and PT&T for their cable lines ; working in area of Finger and Warwick Streets because of the master antenna locations which had to be used as feed lines to proceed in certain directions , but that it was hoped Farm Hill area would be ready for service by March . He affirmed the rates charged for the service as set out by the Council in the franchise ( $4 . 75 , plus $ 1 .25 per additional outlet to a residence - no installation charge ) .

Sinkunas advised of their attempts to make this point , but also advised of Federal rulings relating to restrictions on number of channels cable operators allowed , but which he thought would still be referred back to Federal Courts for further ruling , He explained , however , how this did not affect their company or service as cable lines were already installed in Redwood City by their own efforts prior to the time these rulings came into effect , which released them from compliance .
