I am pleased and proud to announce that our City has been honored
with two Awards For Excellence. These awards were presented at the
February 23-25, 1978 conference entitled "Cable: A Community Resource"
sponsored by the Pqinnesota Cable Communications Board ("1CC6) and
Anoka-Ramsey Community College.
The program entries were judged on their technical quality, production
values, and creativity by an independent panel of three persons titi�ith
expertise in video production, equipment or program content. Initia7ly
the Fridley entry was produced by our Fire Department. The Fire
Department had produced a video cassette tape entitled "Fire--It Can
Happen to You." This 20 minute tape was edited by P9r. Blake Balzart,
Cormunications Aide within the City Manager's office. All taoes
presented for evaluation were required to be five to seven minutes
in length. There were a total of five general aiaards covering the
areas of Best Overall Program, Best Sports Program, Best Educational/
Informational Program, Best Technical Program, and Best Communitv
Service Program. Our Fire Department entry won the last category,
Best Community Service Program.
In addition, our 3/4 inch video cassette Hron the r�ost coveted award
of all--the Chairman's Ao-lard. I attach a cooy of each Fridley Award
signed 6y Govenor Perpich and the h?CCB Chairman, Gertrude Ulrich.
I am sure that you join me in congratuiatina our Fire Department for
its professionalism and initiative. 'Of course, I am also
proud of Blake Balzart of my office for his editinq and presenting
Fridley's entry to the panel. Finally, I am sure that these avrards
reflect well on the leadership and supryort from our Cab1e T.U.
