• <br />• <br />• <br />STAFF MEMBER <br />DATE <br />SUBJECT <br />VOTE REQUIRED <br />AGENDA ITEM 4A <br />Daniel Tesch, Director of Administration <br />23 September 2002 <br />- -Set a Public Hearing for 15Y Reading of Ordinance No. 11 -02, <br />Renewal of Cable Television Franchise <br />-- Authorize Summary Publication of Ordinance No. 11 -02 <br />3/5 for setting public hearing date <br />4/5 vote for Authorizing Summary Publication of Ordinance <br />BACKGROUND <br />The North Metro Telecommunication Commission has renegotiated a cable television <br />franchise on behalf of member cities with ATT Broadband. As this franchise agreement is an <br />ordinance, it will require a public hearing. I recommend that hearing be set for 6:45 p.m., 14 <br />October 2002. <br />As this is quite a lengthy document, staff is also recommending that a summary <br />(prepared by our attorneys) be published in lieu of the entire document. Staffs research indicates <br />this item is appropriate subject matter for the summary publication method. State law provides <br />for the summary publication alternative; however, this requires a 4/5 vote of the Council. <br />Staff requests that two separate actions be taken -- one to set the public hearing, and the <br />second to authorize summary publication. <br />OPTIONS <br />1. Set the public hearing for renewal of cable communication franchise agreement for 14 <br />October at 6:45 p.m. and authorize summary publication of the ordinance. <br />2. Refer back to Staff. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Number One. <br />J: \dtesch \Cable Commission\Franchise Renewal GS.doc <br />
