COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
Attached is the proposed setup ; please let us know if you'd like any changes made .
Attached are copies of two proposed setups. Please let us know your preference along with any
modifications you 'd like made .
City Council discussed the proposed competitive cable franch ise ordinance at the June 18, 200 7
Study Session.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff se eks Coun ci l support for a proposed Emergency Bi ll for an Ordinance that sets forth a re view
and evaluation process in connection with competitive r ,:,le franchise applications . The Bill has
been drafted as an Emergency Ordinance because it w,c• I,! be beneficial to have this process in
place before a recent FCC order goes into effect that in,µnses restrictions and tim , limits on the
application process .
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTHNATIVES IDENTIFIED
The Federal Communications Commission has issued an order that, among other things, changes
the process for negotiating cable franchises in areas currentl1/ served by another cable operator.
Th e order places much shorter time limits on negotiations and limits local franchising authorities'
abilities to obtain pertinent information related to finances , :~chnoiogy plans, and services levels
unless the pro vision of that information is required by state or local law .
This proposed Bill for an Ordinance sets requirements anrl criteri• in place for competitive franchise
applicants, allowing the City to gather information at th (; ,·Ju!set that will help us make a thorough
and comprehensive evaluation of applicants wishing lo obtain a competitive cable franchise
agreement from the City of Englewood.
The model ordinance from which this ordinanc,~ was drafted contained language that allowed for a
waiver of permit fees associated with the application. The fee waiver language has been removed
from this proposed ordinance .
If City Council approve, the proposed ordinance, staff will bring forward for Council's consideration •
(at a subseo •.1 ent meeting) a Re1olution that sets the application fees referred to in this ordinance .
FINANCIAL IMPACT
No financial Impact Is expected as a result of this ordinance .
