The schedule set June 30, 1999 as the deadline for renewal applications to be submitted.

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. 000465
