To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Sheila R. Gilligan, Assistant City Manager
Subject: Three Month Extension of Cable Television Franchise Agreement
Date: March 22, 2001
Discussion
The City Council extended the subject franchise agreement in September to expire on March 31,
2001. Bill Rudell, the Technology Committee, and staff continue to work with Time Warner on
resolution of a number of issues, including and especially the length of the agreement.
The Technology Committee will consider additional input from Bob Barlow of Time Warner at
its April meeting. Because final resolution has not yet been reached, we are asking that the City
Council extend the agreement for an additional three month period to expire June 30, 2001.
Recommendation
Waive further reading and adopt.
