TO- THE CITY COUNCIL DATE
FROM: THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE February 1986.
SUBJECT: CABLE TELEVISION FRANCHISING/RE:FRANCHISING APPLICATION FILING EFE
RECONMEMED ACTION: That the City Council adopt Resolution
establishing a cable television
franchise/refranchise filing fee of $5,000.
NO_
BACKGROUND INFORMKI"ON: As the City Council is aware, King Videocable
Ccupany is in the process of responding to 13he
City's Request for Proposal for the refranchising
of the local cable television system. Section 5.16.040 of the City's cable
television ordinance provides that "an application for a franchise or
franchise renewal . . . shall be in writing and accompanied by a payment tc
the City in an amount to be established and amended from time to time by
resolution of the City Council." The information which will be presentc
by King Videocable in support of its request for franchise renewal will, i;:
sane portions be quite technical and could well be beyond the capabilities
of the staff to analyze and evaluate. Technical assistance will probably
be necessary and the cost of this service should logically be borne by the
cable television cernpany. It is unlikely the cost will exceed the.
recomnended filing fee, and the unexpended remainder of the fee would teen
be returned to the ccntany. I have discussed tUs with Mr. Richard Shay,
Vice President of King Videocable Ccampany, and he has no problem with this
approach.
The City Attorney and I will be pleased to answer my questions
Councilmesmbers may have.
