Box 1115 <br />LaPorte, Texas 775711 <br />RE: Cable Television System <br />Progress Report <br />Ladies and Gentlemen: <br />Deer Park • La Porte • Pasadena a South Houston <br />A Harte-Hanks Communications Company <br />June 27, 1980 <br />The following is a brief outline and report as to the progress <br />and development of the Cable Television System in LaPorte, by <br />Kip -Lee CATV, Inc. <br />1. Strand mapping, the first step in system design and construc- <br />tion is completed as previously reported. The strand maps <br />have been forwarded to Mark Russel & Associates, CATV System <br />Designers, for completion of checking and system design. To <br />date, 5 of 23 maps have been processed and returned to us for <br />checking and review. Roger Helgerson, Consulting Engineer for <br />Telefacs, has been hired to complete the remeasuring and <br />checking process. <br />2. It is estimated that system design should be completed and <br />available by late summer. As soon as this process is complete, <br />a final order will be placed with respective suppliers for <br />electronics, cable and other materials. Also, pole applications <br />will be submitted to Southwestern Bell and Houston Lighting <br />and Power. This process cannot be accomplished until design <br />maps are available. <br />3. An order for 70 miles of cable, electronics and other materials <br />has already been placed with suppliers to insure that construc- <br />tion can start at the earliest possible time. The first ship- <br />ments are scheduled for delivery late summer or early fall. <br />4. The system transmitter has already been delivered and is in <br />storage in the warehouse. We have been informed by Scientific <br />Atlanta that the construction of the 7 meter Earth Station <br />(satellite dish) is nearing completion and will be ready for <br />shipment sometime in late July or early August. <br />2223 Strawberry • Suite C-35 9 Pasadena, Texas 77502 • 713/477-2581 <br />
