Mr. Heffernan displayed photos of cabinets installed in the public right-of-way, informing
that minimal trenching would be necessary. He further spoke of how competitive price
packages could provide beneficial savings to Cypress residents.
Mayor Seymore asked about the possibility of changing from copper to fiber wiring in
some of the older areas of Cypress.
Mr. Heffernan responded that, in order to avoid trenching and being invasive, an effort
will be made to find eligible units on as many arterial streets and main traffic thru-fairs
instead of getting into each neighborhood and going home to home.
Mayor Seymore asked if the preexisting cabinets will be removed.
Mr. Heffernan replied that the preexisting cabinets will not be removed as the
technicians will still need to access those cabinets for the customers who do not order
the U-verse service.
Council Member Narain commented that he is supportive of competing with the cable
companies and providing similar services at a lower price. However, he asked about
comparable quality.
Mr. Heffernan stated that U-verse has recently been recognized with a residential
television service satisfaction award.
Council Member Narain asked about the service range of the cabinet being 5,000 feet
and residents out of that range.
Mr. Heffernan responded that not every home in the City is being covered, but there is
an initial deployment phase that includes a future offering to ineligible residents.
Council Member Luebben stated that Cypress may have a disadvantage in that there
are two different providers offered to residents.
Council Member Bailey commented that Cypress residents may express concern with
the public education governmental access that is currently afforded to the cable
companies.
Mr. Heffernan responded that a five percent franchise fee will be provided to the City,
with a similar array of channels as to what is being offered now.
Council Member Narain asked about the existing contract with Time Warner Cable.
The City Attorney responded that he would need to review the Time Warner contract.
Council Member Luebben commented on a recent newspaper article in regard to
AT&T's customer agreement, eliminating customers' rights to litigate.
Mr. Heffernan replied that there is now a direct link between customers and AT&T for
contract content.
Council Member Luebben asked that Mr. Heffernan obtain more specific information
and follow-up with City Council at the next meeting.
The Public Works Director stated that AT&T's proposed project includes a request to
install approximately 40, 48" high above-ground cabinets, light tan or green in color,
throughout the Citya

sources can be identified; and 10 would be installed in future projects.

public meeting to allow community input. The Public Works Director further informed of
conditions of approval for the project.

cabinet and where it is being placed in relation to possible hiding places for criminal
activities.
The Public Works Director responded that he has not spoken to the Police Department
in that regard.
Council Member Narain expressed concern with cabinet placement directly in front of
homes and asked if underground placement would be possible.
The Public Works Director replied that underground placement would require an
underground vault which can be more intrusive than above ground cabinets.
Council Member Luebben asked if the cabinets are graffiti resistant and if City
personalization is possible.
Mr. Heffernan replied that the cabinets have an upgraded resistant coating.
Council Member Narain asked about the project timeline.
Mr. Heffernan responded that, typically, the project would be a five-month process from
the initiation of the construction.

The Recreation & Community Services Director discussed proposed changes to the
Non-Profit Contribution Grant process for future awards.
Council Member Luebben asked how the groups obtain liability insurance and if there is
a group insurer that could facilitate such a policy.

the City's broker can be given to the non-profit groups, however, staff does not endorse
a specific insurance carrier.
The Recreation Supervisor discussed residency requirements, stating that there are
nine non-profit groups that do not meet the residency requirement of having at least
50% of their membership living in Cypress.

introduce for first reading the Ordinance by title only, adjusting the City Council monthly
