An agreement for the joint use of Insight Cable Channel 3 with the City of Orem and Utah Valley State College (UVSC) will soon be executed, according to Jim Reams, Assistant City Manager. The five-year agreement concerning con-cerning the use of Orem City's Public, Education and Government Govern-ment (PEG) access channel was approved by city council on October Oc-tober 12 and is currently undergoing under-going refinements in language to be worked out by City Attorney Paul Johnson, said Reams. Councilman Chris Yandow said the City is excited to partner with UVSC in this venture. Channel 3 has been used in the past by the City to announce up-" coming community events and city activities through a reader board format. The agreement expands the use and benefit of the Channel. UVSC will continue operation of the reader board and will provide pro-vide future technical services to broadcast city council meetings, a weekly city forum program, and four community events such as Summerfest, the Storytelling .Festival, and the Miss Orem Pageant. . UVSC will also use the channel chan-nel to broadcast various educational educa-tional courses and college events and activities. ; Reams said the college is not be able to provide all of the intended in-tended services immediately. Costs will be based on what services ser-vices are being provided and will eventually reach an annual cost of $10,000, probably within three years. The college will receive $3,000 for the reader board, said Reams, and a weekly broadcast forum will cost another $3,000. When UVSC has the ability to broadcast other city events, they will receive another $4,000. Mayor Stella Welsh lauded the program as beneficial to both the City and UVSC. It will provide pro-vide students with valuable training and the City with more services at a lower cost, she said. According to the agreement, other non-profit entities as well as UVSC may use the PEG chan nel when it is not being used by City of Orem. Priority scheduling goes first to the City, next to UVSC, then to other non-profit community groups and organizations, such as high school, Red Cross, etc, and then BYU Community Channel. The City may interrupt any programming in the event of any emergency. It is expected the system will be in place at UVSC by November 5. Scout troop speaks up at town meet By Jeanne Thayne, City Editor TIPS We want the scoop on what's happening in Orem. Call in news tips. Orem-Geneva Times 51 "iJ'. 225-1340 While many scouts attend city council meetings, take notes on a few boring topics and leave after an hour or so, members of Scout Troop 468, Vermont First Ward, found the city's town meetings a perfect place to get instant answers to things they wanted to ask about but never had an opportunity. oppor-tunity. Following the meeting, Scout leader Ken King said he had nothing noth-ing to do with his scouts' involvement, involve-ment, other than bringing them. He said they did not review the process or discuss any questions before attending the town meeting meet-ing at Cascade School last Tuesday. Tues-day. "They're all just good kids," he said. Scout Mike Swenson asked about curfew and how it works. After Councilman Kelvin Clayton read the curfew ordinance, Scout JedCoomessaidhe is 16 years old and asked, "What if I'm hot walking walk-ing around, but driving a car?" Councilman Clayton told him no one his age can be out at all after 11:30. Coomes also suggested PCs and computer programs be installed in-stalled at the library so students P who don't' have them in their homes could do their homework there. He also suggested expand ing the library into the south end of the building and moving the police department to a new place. Clayton said that might be a good idea as the police department is growing out of its space. Swenson asked about winter recreation programs sponsored by the City and said they ought to be set up so everyone could afford to participate. Recreation Director Direc-tor Jerry Ortiz said a ski program with Sundance is currently being worked out to keep the costs down, but he said those kinds of activities are expensive. Swenson also inquired about a number of trails being removed. He asked if there will be access by car or bike to hunting places, or "will you have to hike forever." Ortiz said he has maps of areas King could pick up at his office. Coomes asked if the City had a place a person could use to sight in guns, or if there were any plans to make a place to sight in high powered rifles. Councilman Clayton said he was not aware of any such plans. He said the police have an area for their use. After the meeting adjourned at 8:30, the scouts swarmed around Councilman Clayton, still asking questions. Seemed kind of refreshing after spending time ' discussing gangs and such activities.
