Mre De Harvey said that his <br />objective was to outline f or Council what these changes were going to be and <br />said that he was involved with all the touching communities. Mr. De Harvey <br />said that there was little or no discussion on mutual combinations and it <br />looked as though each community wished to go it alone; that Gates Mills did <br />not even have radio equipment now and did not plan to have:atty.; Mr. Mason <br />asked what other alternatives were possible and whether other villages could <br />go in togetherm Mr. De Ilarvey said that sharing the cost would:be the main <br />thing and this had not been discussed and he could not say at this time. That <br />there was no such system as University Heights that could be shared by othersm <br />Mr. De Harvey went into this plan in detail and said that it certainly would <br />reduce costs if such a.system could be worked outm It was brought out that <br />Mr. Porter was attending a meeting at Lyndhurst to get the feeling of other <br />communities as to this system. Mr. De Harvey said that the dividing line <br />for this would be Cedar Road; that this line was set by a research group; <br />however, the radio signals could go fnrther but would be on a different <br />f requency and would not interfere with traffic; that on the North side would <br />be one frequency and on the South side another frequency and none of the b'ig . <br />stations are interested in taking on any other community.
