DATE: April 6th, 2021 <br /> <br />TO: Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />FROM: Jake Dickson, Assistant City Administrator <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Summary of Ordinance Publication <br /> <br /> <br />Introduction: <br />The City Council is asked to approve the summary of the ordinance which approved the renewal <br />of the Cable Television Franchise with Comcast, so that it may be published in the City’ s legal <br />newspaper. <br /> <br />Background: <br />At its meeting of April 6th, 2021, the City Council considered and approved on first reading, action <br />to agree to a ten-year renewal of a cable-television franchise ordinance with Comcast. <br /> <br />Because of the physical length of the ordinance approving the franchise renewal (more than 60 <br />pages including exhibits), the City Council should publish an ordinance summary. This summary <br />(attached) outlines the major points of the renewal, and offers a significant savings in the costs of <br />legal publication. Anyone wishing to see the entire document can access it through the City <br />website, but there is a legal requirement to publish at least a summary. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />I recommend that the City Council approve the publication of the ordinance summary. <br /> <br />Action Required: <br />If the Council concurs, it should, by motion, approve the summary of the proposed cable franchise <br />ordinance, and approve its publication. <br /> <br />The action requires supermajority (4/5) approval. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
