AGENDA REPORT :ACTION: .�
TO: Honorable City Council Tiv:
FROM: John E. Nowak, Assistant City Manager G1�
DATE: 04 August 1999 (Meeting of 08/18/99) ![
SUBJECT: Consider an Extension of the Franchise Renewal
Application Filing Period.
BACKGROUND: On July 24, 1998 the City Council adopted a
schedule for the cable television renewal application
process. The schedule set June 30, 1999 as the deadline
for renewal applications to be submitted. Due to changes
in control and franchise transfers, a notice to renew the
former TCI area was not submitted on time.
DISCUSSION: In July 1998 the City Council set a schedule
for processing cable television franchise renewals. That
schedule required renewal applications to be submitted to
the City no later than June 30, 1999. An application was
received from Century Communications for the franchise
covering the former Entertainment Express Ltd. area. Due
to changes of control and franchise transfers, no
application has been received for the former TCI of Ventura
County franchise area. Adelphia Communications, who will
be the franchise operator after October 1, 1999 has
requested that it be able to submit the application request
with TCI's concurrence. This would be done before
September 1, 1999.
RECOMMENDATION: The City Council is requested to approve
an extension of the filing deadline for cable television
franchise renewal applications to September 1, 1999.
