Mr. Michael Maguire, Chairman of the Cable Television Committee, appeared before
the Council regarding the intent of TCI Cablevision to time share C-SPAN and the local
cable access channel on the city's cable system. He stated that it is up to the City
Council as to how to use the local cable access channel; however, he would not

resource to the city which is not used to its full potential. In addition, he felt that many
people would object to taking time away from airing C-SPAN. After discussion, Mr.

DEVELOPNIENT OF WASHINGTON PARK �
As co-president with T�Irs. Robin Williams of the Washington
' 5chool PTA during the i99�-95 school year, our PTA executive
council has authorized me to speak to you on behalf of our
school about the development of T�Jashington Park.
Approximately three years ago our student body joined in
a contest to determine the name of our new neighborhood park,
and the name "Washington Park" was selected by the Farks and
Recreation Department. That same spring the faculty and stu-
dents of Washington School spent one school-day afternoon -
planting the trees in Washington Park. ;�Je were excited: an
attractive , new park was being bui"lt in our neighborhood:
Since that time , the ground has been seeded � two park
benches installed, and a sign nlaced at Washington and N:iddle
Streets designating it as "Washington Park. " �iVe have anxiously
awaited the installation of playground equipment , but to no
avail. We had hoped two or more picnic tables would be placed
under the lar�e � old trees which border the park on Washington
Street. Again, to no avail.
The Washington School PTA requests that funding for the
further development of ��lashington Park be provided in the i99�-95
capital improvements program, so that within the next year we
will have facilities which can be utilized and enjoyed by our
students and the entire neighborhood. •
Respectfully submitted �
