ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Update and Timeline for potential Cable TV Franchises in Richfield.
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
No action at this time. Presented for information only.
III. BACKGROUND
The City and the Southwest Suburban Cable Commission (SWSCC) have received
written requests from WideOpenWest (WOW) and Everest Communications
(Everest) for a franchise to construct, operate and maintain a cable communications
system in the City. Pursuant to those requests, Brian Grogan, Attorney for the
SWSCC, has prepared a schedule of events that would need to be followed in order
for each member City of the SWSCC to comply with state statutes pertaining to
granting of a cable franchise. The overall process will likely take from June through
November 2000 to complete. The purpose of this Study Session item is to inform
Council Members of this process and timeline.
III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION
A. POLICY
• Minnesota Cities must comply with Minnesota Statutes governing the
issuance of cable communications franchises. A schedule of events
Cable Schedule
has been prepared in order for the City to comply with these
requirements.
B. CRITICAL ISSUES
• The timing of this process is critical in order to comply with state
requirements.
C. FINANCIAL
• The cost of the franchise application process will be funded equally by
the applicants.
• More franchises in the City may provide the City with greater revenues
as well as more public/government access services and features.
D. LEGAL
• The City must carefully follow the provisions of the existing franchise
agreement with Time Warner as well as the state statutes. The "level
playing field" and public access sections are especially critical.
IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION~S~
• None, at this time.
V. ATTACI-IMENTS
• .Projected schedule of events for the franchising process.
VI. PRINCIPAL PARTIES EXPECTED AT MEETING
• None.
