It was our intention to present this letter and the signatures to the Council. However, upon arriving home at Judson Terrace, we discovered the letter was still in our possession. We are so pleased that the Council voted favorably on the issue of approving the`Basic Cable." This new option will make cable service affordable to many of our residents who have gone without it, due to the monthly charge, now at $44.68 (total) .. We wish to thank you for allowing our viewpoint to be heard and the - fact that you addressed the agenda issue out of order to accommodate our "early-to-bed ers"was very gracious!

Jump, Manager 3000 Augusta Street/San Luis Obispo, California 93401/Telephone 805/544-1600 Honorable Mayor and San Luis Obispo City Council Members City Hall, 990 Palm Street San Luis Obispo, California 93401 April 6, 2004 RE: Council Meeting April 6, 2004 7:00 p.m. Agenda Item: Development of a "Basic Cable" package at a lower fee than the "Full Service"package offered by Charter Communications @ $44.68 per month Dear Mr. Mayor and Council Members: We learned on very short notice that a "Basic.Cable" package was to be considered by you at this evening's meeting. While we would like to represent our senior community of Judson Terrace Homes, in person, many of us cannot, due to lack of transportation, or reduced vision for driving after dark. Please understand that this is an important issue to us elderly, trying to make our Social Security income cover our needs. The present cost of cable t.v. service is prohibitive. Many of our residents simply cannot have t.v. in their apartments because $44.68 is too big a "bite" out of our fixed monthly income. We simply go without t.v. Several of our residents are homebound and have no family in the area. For those, t.v. would be their link to the world and current events, allowing them to remain alert and interested in life beyond their apartment walls and declining health. We do not need 55 or more channels. We feel that many new customers would subscribe to a "Basic Cable" package at a reduced rate. Certainly that would happen in our population of 110 residents,,if the price didn't"break-the-bank.!" We are asking that you favorably consider making a lower priced package of service available within San Luis Obispo city limits.

Jump, Manager 3000 Augusta Street/San Luis Obispo, California 93401/Telephone 805/544-1600 April 6,2004 Please consider this list of signatures to be a continuation of the conclusion of the letter on the previous page. We are all seeking a favorable decision by the City Council in giving their approval to the proposal tonight, that a "Basic Cable" package be made available within San Luis Obispo's city limits.
