WHEREAS, Rad io Station KGMC is the sole radio station lo-
cated within the boundaries of the City of Englewood, Colorado, and
has been, and is, rendering primary service to said City: and
WHEREAS, Radio Station KGMC, and its management have, since
its establishment in 1952, adopted the policy that said Radio Station
should become an integral part of the community life of this City and
have, as a result of this policy, become an indispensable media for
communication of community affaiTs, as exemplified by their broadcast
of the Englewood City Hall dedication ceremonies, the ground-breaking
ceremonies for the construction of "New Englewood" (a multi-million
dollar shoppinq comp l ex, a~~iqncd to revitalize this City's business
conununity), the annual Christmas Tree lighting ceremonies, and the
annual elementary and primary Christmas programs of the local public
and parochial schools, as wel l ~s their continued emphasis upon com-
munity and local news and sports coverage, and
WHEREAS, the City of Englewood has, in the fifteen years since
the date of the establishment of Radio Station KGMC, experienced great
growth, in terms of population, land boundaries and business activity,
and, with the redevelopment of the City's core area through construction
of "New Englewood," it is anticipated that this growth trend, particu-
larly in business activity, will gain increased impetus to the point
that this City will be the major shopping area for the entire southern
portion of the Denver metropolitan area, and
WHEREAS, it appears to this Council that an increase in the
power of Radio Station KGMC is both necessary and desirable in order
to enable it effectively to continue the community service which it
has rendered to this City and its residents in the past, and
WHEREAS, this Council has been advised that Radio Station
KGMC has, or will in the near future, file its application with the
Federal Conununications Conunission in which it seeks authority and
permission to increase its power from 1,000 watts to 5,000 watts,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ENGLEWOOD that this Council, and each member hereof, do hereby
support the aforesaid application and do hereby respectfully request
the Federal Conununications Conunission to give its approval thereto.
