Council Meeting of Sept. 15,
SUBJECT: Consider an Agreement with Adelphia Communications
Corporation dba Century -TCI California, L.P. for Cable
Television Franchise Renewal
BACKGROUND
On June 6, 1984, the City Council of the City of Moorpark adopted
Resolution No. 84 -99 granting a 15 -year, Non - exclusive Franchise
for the operation of a cable television system to serve the Urban
West Communities' Mountain Meadows Housing Development to Mountain
Meadows Cable Television, L.P. This franchise was scheduled to
expire on June 6, 1999. The franchise agreement for this system
( "Mountain Meadows System ") was extended to December 20, 2000 by
Resolution No. 98 -1550 on December 2, 1998.
On November 21, 1990, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 134
granting a ten -year renewal of a non - exclusive franchise to operate
a cable television system in Moorpark to The Chronicle Publishing
Co. doing business as Ventura County Cable Vision ( "the Moorpark
System "). This franchise was in operation when the City
incorporated in 1983.
A series of actions were taken to approve the transfer of control
for these franchise agreements to various entities as the
telecommunications companies were purchased or as mergers were
completed. The transfer of control of both franchise agreements to
Adelphia was approved by the City of Moorpark between November 21,
1990 and August 18, 1999. A chronological history of these actions
by the City of Moorpark is attached to provide a clear
understanding of the evolution of the Cable TV systems ownership in
Moorpark. In June 2000, the City retained the services of
Telecommunications Management Corporation to provide consulting
services for the development and negotiation of the franchise
renewal and for the development of a revised Cable Television
Regulatory Ordinance.

The City and Adelphia have been engaged in franchise renewal
discussions since December 2001 with interruptions caused chiefly
by the filing for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy by Adelphia in June 2002.
Various staffing changes at all levels of the reorganized Adelphia
following the bankruptcy also served to disrupt and delay the
renewal process.
DISCUSSION
Over the past 15 months, staff has participated in discussions with
Adelphia and has prepared a Draft Franchise Renewal Agreement
combining both franchises.
FRANCHISE AGREEMENT
Staff is presenting a Franchise Renewal Agreement with a term of
fifteen (15) years that conforms to the City's original renewal
objectives. A summary of these objectives is attached to this
report. The City Council's Cable TV Ad Hoc Committee
(Councilmembers Harper and Millhouse) reviewed the final draft of
the agreement and provided comments to staff. The Renewal Agreement
includes funding for a $175,000 one -time capital grant from
Adelphia to support the purchase of equipment for the City's Cable
Access Channel 10. These funds will be made available upon approval
of the franchise renewal by both parties. A subsequent grant of
$150,000 will be available within five years of the renewal date.
These costs may be passed on to system subscribers on a prorated
basis over the life of the franchise and the agreement permits
Adelphia to itemize such costs to customers in their monthly
billing statements. A Summary of these and other key features of
the Renewal Agreement is attached.
CABLE TV REGULATORY ORDINANCE
The City Council is also considering a new Cable TV Regulatory
Ordinance amending Section 5.06 of the Municipal Code. The
Ordinance was introduced by the City Council on July 21, 2004 and
finally adopted on September 1, 2004. The adopted Ordinance is
incorporated by reference in the Franchise Renewal Agreement.

CONSTRUCTION /MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT FOR I -NET
An Agreement for the construction and maintenance of a two -way,
fiber - optic, data and voice communications network between public
buildings in Moorpark (the I -Net) has also been concluded and is
included as an Exhibit to the Franchise Renewal Agreement. Thus the
obligation for Adelphia or any successor cable system operator to
maintain the I -Net will coincide with the full 15 -year term of the
Franchise. The construction of the system and the annual expense to
maintain it are included in the renewal provisions at no cost to
the City. The I -Net Agreement identifies those present and future
public buildings in Moorpark that will be connected to the I -Net
including the new Police Services Center, the proposed new City
Hall /Civic Center, the new Public Works /Parks Department
Corporation Yard and the Arroyo Vista Recreation Center. Present
and future facilities at Moorpark Community College and Moorpark
Unified School District may be connected to the I -Net for a fixed,
proportionate cost for a period of three years from the approval of
the Renewal Agreement if those Agency's wish to do so.

Moorpark, California, by and between the City of Moorpark, a municipal
corporation of the State of California and Century-TCI California, L.P., a limited
partnership doing business as Adelphia Cable Communications.

Chapter 5.06 of the Moorpark Municipal Code, is authorized to grant and renew
one or more non - exclusive revocable franchises to operate, construct, maintain
and reconstruct a Cable System within the City; and
2. On June 6, 1984, through Resolution No. 84 -99, the Moorpark City
Council granted a Cable System Franchise to Mountain Meadows Cable
Television, a California Limited Partnership. The Franchise authorized service in
the "Mountain Meadows" development of the City; and
3. In 1989, the City enacted Chapter 6, Title 5 of the Municipal Code.
Pursuant to the requirements of this Chapter, the City renewed its previously
granted Franchise with the Chronicle Publishing Company ( "Chronicle "), dba

contained in Ordinance No. 134, adopted November 21, 1990. The service area
for this Franchise included all of the City except the Mountain Meadows
development; and
1 6;001.89
4. In June 1995, Chronicle entered into an agreement with Tele-
Communications, Inc. ( "TCI ") by which TCI acquired Chronicle's Cable System
assets. The City approved the transfer of the VCC Franchise to TCI through
Resolution No. 96 -1190, adopted March 20, 1996. Subsequently, TCI placed its
Cable Systems into a partnership controlled by Century Communications Corp.
( "Century"). The City approved the change of control to Century under
Resolution No. 99 -1641, adopted October 11, 1999; and
5. At approximately the same time the Century partnership was
established, Century itself was acquired by Adelphia Communications Corp.
( "Adelphia "). Adelphia has been operating the City's Cable System since late
1999; and
6. Adelphia acquired the Mountain Meadows Cable System, as
approved by Resolution No. 99 -1643, adopted August 18, 1999; and
7. The City, on July 21, 2004, amended Chapter 5.06 of the Moorpark
Municipal Code, which amendment applies to all Cable System Franchises
granted or renewed after the Effective Date of the amendment; and
8. The City, after due evaluation of Adelphia, and after public
hearings, has determined that it is in the best interests of the City and its
residents to renew its Franchise with Adelphia, and to consolidate the two (2)
existing Franchises into one (1) Franchise; and
9. NOW, THEREFORE, the City of Moorpark (hereinafter the
"Grantor ") hereby grants to Adelphia (hereinafter the "Grantee ") a renewal of its
Cable System Franchises in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 5.06 of
the Moorpark Municipal Code and this Agreement.

2.7 Procedure for Remedying Franchise Violations
(a) The procedure for remedying Franchise violations or
breaches shall be consistent with the procedures of Chapter 5.06.1520 of the
Moorpark Municipal Code. Grantor, by action of the City Manager or a delegate,
shall first notify Grantee of the violation in writing by personal delivery or
registered or certified mail, and demand correction or commencement of
correction within a reasonable time, which shall not be less than fifteen (15) days
in the case of the failure of the Grantee to pay any sum or other amount due the
Grantor under this Agreement or Chapter 5.06 of the Moorpark Municipal Code,
and thirty (30) days in all other cases. If Grantee fails to demonstrate that a
violation has not occurred, or to correct the violation within the time prescribed,
or if Grantee fails to commence corrective action within the time prescribed and
diligently remedy such violation thereafter, or if the violation is not correctable,
the Grantee shall then be given written notice from the City Manager finding the
Grantee in violation of this Agreement. Said notice shall specify the violations
alleged to have occurred.
(b) In the event the City Manager finds that a material violation
exists and that Grantee has not corrected the same in a satisfactory manner or

request the City Council to impose liquidated damages, assessable from the
Security Fund, of up to Two Hundred Dollars ($200) per day or per incident for all
violations. Damages shall accrue from the date of the violation.
000201
13
(c) If the City Council elects to assess liquidated damages,
pursuant to the provisions of this Franchise Agreement, then such election shall
constitute Grantor's exclusive remedy for a period of one hundred twenty (120)
days. Thereafter, if the Grantee remains in non - compliance with the
requirements of the Franchise Agreement, the Grantor may pursue any available
remedy, provided, however, that Grantor may institute revocation proceedings
against Grantee only after declaration of default on the grounds set forth in
Section 5.06.1530 of the Moorpark Municipal Code.
(d) When determining whether to impose liquidated damages,
the City Council shall hear and consider all relevant evidence, and thereafter
render written findings and its written decision. The hearing shall provide
Grantee with the full opportunity to participate and present evidence.
(e) In the event the City Council finds that no material violation
exists, the proceedings shall terminate and no penalty or other sanction shall be
imposed. In determining whether a violation is material, Grantor shall take into
consideration the reliability of the evidence of the violation, the nature of the
violation and the damage (if any), caused to the Grantor thereby, whether the
violation was chronic, and any justifying or mitigating circumstances and such
other matters as the Grantor may deem appropriate.
2.8 Reservation of Rights

preemption in any area of Cable System regulation over which it currently
exercises jurisdiction in such manner as to expand rather than limit municipal
regulatory authority, Grantor may, if it so elects, adopt rules and regulations in
these areas, to the extent permitted in the then applicable law. If such
preemption has a material impact upon the term of this Agreement, Grantor and
Grantee agree to negotiate in good faith to attempt to restore the mutual
considerations provided in this Agreement.

CABLE SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AS OF JULY, 2004
(1) DESCRIPTION OF CABLE SYSTEM
Grantee shall operate a state -of- the -art Cable System designed to meet
the needs of Moorpark residents for the foreseeable future.
Grantee's Cable System capacity shall, at a minimum, be an Eight
Hundred Sixty Two Megahertz (862 MHz) hybrid fiber - coaxial (HFC) network
with fiber optics lines from the headend to nodes throughout the Franchise Area.
At each node the signals enters the coaxial network for transmission to the
home.
The Eight Hundred Sixty Two Megahertz (862 MHz) Cable System is
capable of providing hundreds of service using both analog and digital Channels.
Each analog video Channel requires Six Megahertz (6 MHz), however through
the use of digital Channels, Grantee has the ability using existing technology to
provide eight (8) to ten (10) video Channels in the same Six Megahertz (6 MHz)
spectrum.
The two -way capability of the Cable System allows for high -speed Internet
service and "impulse" ordering of pay - per -view services, as well as
accommodating telephony and video -on- demand services in the future. High-
speed Internet services will use the Data Over Cable Service Interface
Specification ( DOCSIS) industry standard, enabling customers to purchase any
DOCSIS cable modem and, should the customer move, use the same modem in
their new location provided the Cable System uses the DOCSIS standard.
Grantees' Cable System standard uses a "node plus four (4)" architecture,
with a goal of no more than four (4) amplifiers used between the fiber node and
homes. This design takes the fiber deeper into the Cable System so fewer
000214
M
homes are sharing the same fiber, resulting in more capacity to meet the
individual needs of customers. Each node is designed to serve approximately
Five Hundred (500) homes.
All nodes have standby power rated to provide a minimum of three (3)
hours of operation in the event of a commercial power disruption. The headend
will have standby power capable of providing Twenty Four (24) hours of power in
the event of a commercial power interruption.
The Cable System forward (to Subscribers) bandwidth is a minimum of
Fifty Four to Eight Hundred Sixty Two Megahertz (54 -862 MHz). The reverse
bandwidth (from Subscribers to Grantee) is a minimum of Five to Thirty
Megahertz (5 -30 MHz).

a result of its or the Grantor's performance of this Exhibit D, or if, as a result of
any change in applicable law or regulation (or in judicial or other official
interpretations thereof), Grantee reasonably deems that such a proceeding is
likely and has a significant possibility of success on the merits, Grantee may,
without further liability to the Grantor, upon one hundred eighty (180) days written
notice, terminate this Lease as a whole without cause; provided however that
Grantee shall not terminate this Lease or any fiber provided by it during the
pendency of such proceedings or actions if the Grantor agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless Grantee in (pursuant to an indemnification agreement in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Grantee) against all liability, claims, fines or
damages (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Grantee as a result
of the Grantor's continued operations and use of the I -Net unless (a) Grantee is
required to do so by a valid and final order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or
(b) in Grantee's opinion, continued performance or activity by the Grantor under
the terms of this Exhibit would have a present or future material adverse effect
on the local cable or other operations of Grantee, its financial condition or
operating condition or is reasonably likely to result in the imposition of public
utility or common carrier status on Grantee or an adverse modification,
suspension or revocation of such Grantee's operating authority for its services or
its Cable System or the forfeiture of any portion of the Cable System. Grantee
shall control the defense, prosecution and settlement of such claim or demand
but shall allow the Grantor the opportunity to participate in such defense through
counsel of Grantor's own choosing, which participation will be at the sole
expense of the Grantor. If the proceedings or actions would in any event affect
only a portion of the I -Net, Grantee will instead terminate only the lease of the I-
Net that is affected thereby. Upon the effective date of such a termination, the
Grantor shall terminate Grantor's use of the I -Net, remove Grantor's equipment,
and cease operations over such portion of the I -Net..
Article 6 Acceptance of the I -Net
6.1 I -Net Design; Construction, Performance and Maintenance
Standards. Grantee shall construct the I -Net in accordance with the design
standards of Schedule 1 and the Construction and Performance Standards of
Schedule 2 (collectively, the "Standards "). Any mutually approved (in writing)
00021136. ?
W,
change, alteration or modification of such Standards shall not relieve the Grantor
of its payment obligations described in Article 4.1.
6.2 Acceptance Testing. The results of the following acceptance
testing procedures shall be the sole basis upon which the Grantor's acceptance
of the I -Net is conditioned, and the date of such acceptance shall mark the final
completion of the I -Net (the "Acceptance Date ") and trigger provision regarding
payment of the Lease and Maintenance Fee in Article 4.1 hereof.
(a) Physical Inspection. The physical configuration of the I -Net
will be inspected to monitor conformance with the Standards and applicable law.
Inspections of the cable runs and components will be made during the
construction process to maintain the integrity of the design.
(b) Technical Performance Test. Upon the [-Net Completion
Date as defined in Article 5 hereof, Grantee shall conduct a technical
performance test in accordance with testing procedures mutually agreeable to
Grantee and the Grantor, in Grantor's presence, and at a mutually acceptable
time, to demonstrate the continuity on the optical route from the point of origin to
termination and compliance with splice and termination loss specifications
acceptable to the Grantor and compliance with the Standards. The results of
such test(s) shall be submitted to the Grantor.
6.3 Acceptance; Release. Within thirty (30) days of completion of the
testing described in Articles 6.2(a) and (b), the Grantor shall notify Grantee
whether or not it accepts the [-Net. If the Grantor does not provide such
notification within thirty (30) days, the I -Net shall be deemed accepted by the
Grantor and the date of expiration of such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed
to be the Acceptance Date. If the Grantor does not accept the I -Net, the Grantor
shall provide a reasonably detailed written explanation of the reasons it refused
such acceptance. Grantee shall correct any actual deficiencies in the
construction, and retest the I -Net or relevant portion thereof. Acceptance of the I-
Net shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. So long as Grantee is
diligently working to correct any deficiencies and possesses a reasonable and
good faith belief that it constructed and offered to the Grantor a completed I -Net
in substantial compliance with the Standards as of the I -Net Completion Date,
the failure of the Grantor to accept the I -Net shall not be deemed a failure by
Grantee to meet its obligations under this Exhibit. Except as described in Article
8.1 of this Exhibit, as of the Acceptance Date, Grantee and its affiliates shall be
automatically released from any liability resulting from or arising in connection
with the I -Net.

7.1 Execution of Additional Documents. Grantee shall retain
ownership of the I -Net during the term of the Franchise Agreement.
7.2 Termination, Expiration or Non - renewal of the Franchise
Agreement. Ownership of the I -Net by Grantee shall survive any termination,
expiration or non - renewal of the Franchise Agreement. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary, from and after the date of any termination, expiration or non -
renewal of the Franchise Agreement, Grantee shall have no further obligation to
maintain or repair the I -Net pursuant to Article 3 hereof.
7.3 Continued Operations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if
the Franchise Agreement is terminated, expires or is not renewed and the
Grantor desires to continue to use and maintain the [-Net, then the Grantor shall
reimburse Grantee for all reasonable costs and expenses associated with
disassembling Grantee's System from the I -Net. Such reimbursement shall be
payable within thirty (30) days after the Grantor receives documentation from
Grantee reasonably evidencing such costs and expenses.
7.4 Liens and Encumbrances. The Grantor shall not, either directly or
indirectly, create, impose or suffer to be imposed any lien on (a) any property
interest of Grantee, (b) the rights or title relating thereto, or any interest therein,

as may be necessary to duly discharge any such lien.
Article 8 Warranty; Indemnification
8.1 Warranty. If, at any time, any work performed by Grantee on the I-
Net is found, by independent evaluation, to be defective or not in material
compliance with this Exhibit, then Grantee or its agent, at their expense, shall
correct such defect or non - compliance in a timely fashion upon receipt of written
notice from the Grantor describing the defect or non - compliance with reasonable
accuracy and detail. Grantee shall not be obligated to correct the defect or non-
compliance pursuant to this Article 8.1 until the Grantor demonstrates to Grantee
that such defect or non - compliance is not the result of failures outside the
reasonable control of Grantee.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, GRANTEE
MAKES NO GENERAL SPECIAL, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES AS
TO THE FITNESS OF THE FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT THAT IT IS
OBLIGATED TO PROVIDE UNDER THIS EXHIBIT FOR ANY PARTICULAR
NETWORK APPLICATION OR USE. ANY AND ALL SUCH WARRANTIES

claims for legal and equitable indemnity are hereby expressly reserved by all
parties.

shall be deemed to, grant to any other person any interest (whether as a third
party beneficiary or otherwise) herein.
8.6 Disclaimer of Liability. In relation to any claim pursuant to Section 8.1, but
not Section 8.2, in no event shall Grantee be liable to the Grantor, to any of Grantor's
agents, representatives or employees, or to any user of the I -Net, for special,
consequential, exemplary, or punitive costs, liabilities or damages, whether foreseeable

covenants that it will not utilize the I -Net, or any portion thereof, for the provision of any
form of (i) emergency service to third parties, (ii) essential service to third parties, or (iii)
service to any third party or the public in general of significant economic value to the

governmental services permitted under Article 9.1 hereof. If, however, the Grantor at
any time intends to utilize the I -Net, subject to the provisions of Article 9.1 hereof, for
the provision of any other types of services ( "Additional Services "), then the Grantor
shall provide written notice to Grantee of its intent to provide such Additional Services
(the "Additional Services Notice "). Upon Grantee's receipt of the Additional Services
Notice, the parties shall meet and confer in good faith to determine whether utilization
of the I -Net for the purposes described in the Additional Services Notice impose, or
could reasonably be expected to impose, legal liability upon Grantee for acts and
omissions of parties other than Grantee or for events outside of the reasonable control
of Grantee. To the extent that the Grantor's proposed use of the I -Net, as described in

risks, as determined in Grantee's reasonable discretion, the parties shall negotiate in
good faith mutually acceptable indemnification, waiver, or other forms of agreements
that reasonably mitigate Grantee's concerns (the "Indemnification "). Upon mutual
acceptance of the Additional Indemnification, the Grantor may proceed with the
utilization of the I -Net for the purposes described in the Additional Services Notice, and
will not be considered in breach of the representations and warranties contained in this
Article 8.7 with respect to its use of the I -Net for such approved purposes. In no event,
