REPORT OF VILLAGE ATTORNEY JAMES LYNDEN Resolution No. 84-18, Approving Cable Communications Offering Amendment Agreement No. I and Authorizing Mayor and Clerk Adminis- trator to Execute the Same on Behalf of the City. Ordinance No. 233 - Amending Ordinance No. 226, Cable Communica- tions Ordinance, by Altering the Provisions Therein Relating to Channel Capacity, Two-way Capacity, Facilities, Special Channel and Access Requirements, Construction Completion Date, and Rate Change Procedure. ' Council was referred to draft of Resolution No. 84-18, and to draft of Ordinance No. 233. Wm. Bauer explained that ~ channel chart wi II be forthcoming for attachment Which will list channels 2 through 16. Lynden suggested that paragraph 4 of the Resolution be modified to add "and that a channel chart should be attached as Appendix 3." . Lynden recommended approval of the Resolution and Introduction of the Ordinance by title; noted that Councl I can waive the 1st reading If there Is an urgency. Bauer stated that there Is no urgency; does not affect service or construction. Council was referred to page A-5 (0) Group W's financial goals and the methodology to arrive at such goals. Bauer explained that some of that language developed around the proposal to act~- vate the second cable, If and when It became necessary, and/or desirable. Bauer noted that there were al I sorts of trigger mechanisms discussed; al I sorts of discussion of language, to try to ascertain what sort of a rate Increase - the basic bargain was, If the second cable were activated, they should be able t~ have an Immediate rate Increase to be able to recoup that In- vestment; additional franchise language was worked on to Identify and quantify what that rate Increase would be. Creighton decided that the existing rate change language, and rate of return pro- visions In the franchise, has provided an adequate basis with these amendments, for determining how much of a rate Increase would be obtainable If the second cable were actIvated, or for any other major change In the system.
