The packet contains a memo highlighting the key deal points, the ordi- <br />nance summary for publication, Comcast Side Letter, and the Cable Television Franchise <br />Ordinance. <br />Prior to approval of the franchise ordinance, the City Council must hold a public hearing. <br />Unless the Council proposes amendments to the ordinance after the public hearing, it is <br />ready for adoption. <br />As the ordinance is lengthy at about 100 pages with appendices, it can be published by title <br />and summary. As summary publication requires a 4/5 vote, staff recommend adopting the <br />ordinance and summary for publication in separate motions. <br />OPTIONS: <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: <br />Motion to adopt Ordinance No. 17-04 Cable Television Franchise Ordinance and the Com- <br />cast Side Letter as presented. <br />Motion to approve publication of Ordinance No. 17-04 Cable Television Franchise Ordi- <br />nance by title and summary. <br />
