IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) The three cities (Kennewick, Pasco and Richland) as urged by the Visitor and
Convention Bureau in 2004, created the Tri- Cities Regional Hotel/Motel
Commission for the purpose of establishing a Tourism Promotion Area (TPA).
The purpose of the TPA is to increase visitor utilization of the hotels and motels
in the Tri- Cities. The promotional expenditures are supported by a special
assessment of $1.50 /night for any of the hotel /motel rooms included in the TPA
program (those facilities with more than 40 rooms). The TPA has operated for
about eight years and has proven to be very helpful in not only increased
promotion of visitor traffic, but the Commission has used a portion of the funds to
encourage various organizations to select the Tri- Cities for their activity, whether
a convention or sporting event.
B) The Hotel/Motel Commission recently determined that the room assessment
should be increased to $2 /night (statutory maximum), so as to increase revenue
for the TPA by about 30 %. The additional revenue is desired by the Commission
to increase the TPA support of the various efforts to expand tourism and visitor
traffic to the Tri- Cities (see references #1 and #2).
V. DISCUSSION:
A) Inasmuch as the TPA room assessment is self - imposed by the hotel industry
within the Tri- Cities, the requested increase should be accommodated by city
action. The purposes for which the funds are used benefit the visitor economy of
the Tri- Cities, generating additional economic benefit to the community in
general (and the cities in particular via sales tax and lodging tax receipts).

The Tri -City Regional Hotel -Motel Commission was formed in 2004 for the purpose of establishing a tourism
promotion area. As a result, with the support of the local hotel community, a tourism promotion assessment
(TPA) was created to generate increased funding for the specific purpose of marketing the Tri- Cities as a preferred
destination for conventions, sports tournaments and events, as well as leisure travel.
The TPA has been an extremely successful endeavor for the Tri- Cities tourism industry. The collection of the
assessment began in October of 2004 and since that time we have been able to provide grants and financial
support to 152 conventions and sporting events, creating an economic impact of $130 million in visitor spending
in the community. In addition we have been able promote the Tri- Cities with spring and fall television ad
campaigns in the Greater Seattle Area for seven consecutive years. We have been able to improve our marketing
materials, launch a new web site, create a destination video, and add sales staff to assist in convention and sports
recruitment.
Local hoteliers and city partners have been very pleased with the return on investment as a result of instituting
the tourism promotion assessment. The current rate of the assessment in the Tri- Cities is $1.50 per room. The
legislation (RCW 35.101) allows that the assessment can be increased to as much as $2.00 per room, as is the
practice in Spokane, Yakima, Vancouver and Seattle.
Recently the Commissioners of the Tri -City Hotel -Motel Commission unanimously passed a resolution to increase
the assessment in the Tri- Cities from $1.50 to $2.00. On August 14 a meeting was held for all hotels that
participate in the assessment to share the details about the increase and to ensure that the industry fully supports
the increase. Although not every hotel invited chose to attend, there were representatives from Fairfield Inn,
Holiday Inn Express, Red Lion Hotels (representing four hotel properties), Best Western, Courtyard by Marriott,
Hilton Garden Inn, Baymont Inn, Clover Island Inn, Hampton Inn and the GuestHouse International in attendance
and there was overall support by the hotels to increase the assessment to $2.00 per room, preferably as soon as
January 1, 2014.
The proceeds from an increase to the TPA would be used to further support the sponsorship of future
conventions and sporting events, the addition of a sports marketing manager to assist in recruiting new
tournaments and sporting events to the Tri- Cities, increased advertising, the addition of a marketing manager to
promote the growing wine industry and the increase in accessibility to Hanford, especially as the Hanford Land
Use Plan and Manhattan National Historical Park become a reality.
The next step is to secure the support of the Pasco City Council, as well as the support of the Kennewick and
Richland City Councils. We would welcome the opportunity to present the merits of an increase to the Pasco City
Council.
We have provided the attached copy of the resolution passed by the Tri -City Regional Hotel -Motel Commission on
July 18, 2013. We are hopeful that the city council will support our request and will pass an ordinance to allow for
the increase to $2.00 in Pasco, and will also approve an amendment to the interlocal agreement amongst the
three cities allowing for the increase.
Mr. Crutchfield, we appreciate the time and effort that you have dedicated to the Tri -City Regional Hotel -Motel
Commission and welcome any questions or comments you may have.
Sincerely,

II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
9/30: Discussion
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
See below.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) LIDs 148 and 149 were formed and the improvements constructed over the past
two years. In conducting the final assessment roll hearings, it was learned that
several property owners desire installation and financing of utility stubs and/or
driveways for certain vacant parcels within the LID boundaries. Council has
continued the assessment roll hearing to be apprised of its options in responding
to the expressed concerns.
B) In reviewing the record of the LID formation and construction, it appears that
references were made during the neighborhood meetings that utility stubs and
driveways could be included but the only letters that mentioned utility
improvements were not very clear as to the owner's opportunity to do so. When
the inspector contacted each household during construction, the vacant parcel
owners were not contacted. Thus, the only vacant parcels requesting utility and/or
driveway improvements were those that initiated contact with the inspector or the
engineering office (perhaps because they understood from prior communications
that they could do so, or perhaps from their own initiative to find out). In any
case, some vacant property owners did not understand their opportunity to do so.
C) The attorney employed by the city to advise on LID matters has reviewed the
circumstances in LID 148 and 149 and has concluded that the city can lawfully
include additional improvements (utility stubs and/or driveways) if carried out
properly. In addition, the attorney notes that the city may include utility
connection fees (capital reimbursement) for those property owners who desire to
finance those fees via LID. In all cases, the attorney advises the city to use an
"application and waiver" form to ensure a clear record of the owner's request and
consent to accept the additional assessment. Once the additional work is
completed, a new final assessment roll hearing process would be required to
establish the revised and final assessment roll.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) The engineering office has reviewed both LID projects with regard to the desire
for utility stubs and driveways on vacant properties (see exhibit 2). Cost
considerations reflect that the installation of utility stubs "after the fact" (after the
street was paved) will cost about 40% more because the street and sidewalk must
be cut to accommodate the stub extension. The LID attorney advises that the city
4(c)
could either: absorb the extra cost and assess the same cost per stub throughout
the LID; or not assess any stub cost within the LID but require full payment of the
actual stub cost at the time of connection (future).
B) The construction records reflect a wide disparity in driveway cost between LID
148 and 149. Engineering estimates the expected cost to install a driveway "after
the fact" at about $2,200. However, the LID attorney advises (again) that either
all driveways in an LID be charged the same rate within the LID or exclude the
driveway costs for assessment and collect the reimbursement at the time of
development. To further complicate the driveway question, engineering advises
the driveways are best left out until placement of the home is known, to avoid
having to duplicate the expense by moving the previous driveway to fit actual
development of the lot (in other words, it is likely cheaper for the lot owner to
place the driveway when the house is built).
C) If Council wishes to accommodate the desire of some owners of vacant properties
to install utility stubs and their driveways, staff recommends the following
process:
• Explicit notice to owners of vacant property of their opportunity to add utility
stubs and/or driveways with a fixed application deadline;
• City design, bid and construct the additional work requested by owner
applications;
• Notify all LID participants of revised final assessment roll;
• Conduct hearing on revised final assessment roll;
• Approve ordinance adopting final assessment roll.
D) Council is requested to discuss this matter at the September 30 workshop to
ensure full understanding of its options and processes, so the continued hearing on
October 7 can result in a conclusion regarding the concerns expressed by owners
of vacant properties.

Memo
To: Gary Crutchfield, City Manager
Ahmad Qayoumi, Public Works Director
From: Michael A. Pawlak, PE, City Engineer
Date: September 25, 2013
Public Works Department
Engineering Division
Re: LIDS 148 & 149 Additional Driveways & Utilities Memo
Introduction. Both LID 148 and 149 constructed street improvements in the Kurtzman Park
neighborhood including street reconstruction and paving, curb & gutter, storm drainage facilities,
driveway approaches and sidewalks. In addition, the City constructed certain necessary water and
sewer main improvements as companion projects to the LIDs. The cost for this utility work was not
part of the LIDS, was paid for entirely by City water and sewer rate funds, and was not assessed to
individual properties.
During the Final Assessment Hearing held before City Council, a number of residents raised the
question that they were not afforded the opportunity to have utility stubs extended to vacant lots
that they owned, or to have driveway approaches installed at those lots. Council has requested
that staff review these concerns and provide information regarding what information was provided
to property owners during the LID process and the costs of installation of utility service stubs and
driveway approaches.
The LID Process. During the initial LID development process (formation) for both LIDs, property
owners were notified of the efforts to form the LID and construct public infrastructure improvements
along the frontage of their properties in the form of individual mailings (letters). Those letters invited
each property owner to contact City staff for more information on the improvements and impacts
and benefits to their property. In addition, at least two Public Open Houses were held to provide
information to residents and property owners and to seek input from them. Notices of these Open
Houses were posted as legal notices in the Tri-City Herald as well as mailed to each property
owner. City Council took public testimony at the Public Open Houses. That testimony was
provided to staff who incorporated suggestions, as applicable, into the design of the project.
At the start of the construction phase of each project, the Public Works Construction Inspector
assigned to the projects attempted to contact each resident property owner to advise them of the
construction activities that were about to start and coordinate the location of any utility service
connections and driveway approaches. The Inspector did not contact property owners of vacant,
undeveloped property. The assigned Inspector made numerous contacts with residents and
owners throughout the construction phase, answering questions, providing information and
assistance on coordination of construction and individual needs and schedules.
• Page 1
Design & construction of utility connections and driveway access approaches. The design
efforts included providing utility service connections and driveway approaches to all developed lots.
Such improvements were depicted on the contract documents and included in the respective
contract bid schedules. Engineering and Planning staff attempted to work with each property
owner during the design phase and /or at the start of construction to install any utility service lines in
the appropriate location and to coordinate the width and location of driveway approaches. During
the construction phase, many driveways were adjusted, modified and relocated in response to
property owner requests. Utility service connections were also adjusted and relocated to
accommodate property owner requests.
Utility stubs and driveway approaches were included in the project in accordance with the
provisions of PMC 12.04.100 for the number and width of driveways to residential lots; and PMC
13.04.030 for water services and meters. In addition, the design was consistent with a long-
standing Public Works policy to not install water or sewer service stubs or driveway access
approaches to undeveloped lots, unless specifically requested by the property owner.
LID 148:
• The City paid to install nearly 800LF of new watermain in the area, at the same time as the
LID street construction.
• Thirty one (31) new water services and meters were set at the right -of -way (property) line of
each property currently connected to City water in order that the City could, in the future,
disconnect those properties from the old watermains located in the alleys and reconnect to
the new mains in the street. The disconnect/reconnect efforts would be undertaken by
Public Works Operations staff on some later developed schedule.
Four (4) sewer service stubs were installed, by construction change order, at the request of
the property owner at 615 S. Sycamore Avenue to facilitate the subdividing of that parcel.
The amount of the change order for the four sewer stubs was added to the LID assessment
for the newly created parcels. Other service connection fees (i.e. water frontage, area and
system fees, water service and tap fees, sewer system fees and sewer tap fees) were paid
by the property owner at the time of development. Sewer frontage and area fees were not
charged as those were included with and paid as part of sewer LID 71 (1965).
• Twenty -three (23) driveway approaches were included in the original design to transition
access between the new street improvements and existing properties.
• In addition, a total of twenty -one (21) driveway approaches to seventeen (17) properties - --
including 8 undeveloped lots -- were added by change order to the construction contract,
at the request of the property owners.
LID 149:
• The City's companion utility project included 12 new water services to properties, in the
design documents. The locations of these services were coordinated with property owners
during the design phase. All of these new services were to developed properties, or
undeveloped properties at the request of the property owner.
• Page 2
• In addition, six (6) water services were added by change order to undeveloped properties
that were being subdivided, at the request of the property owner.
• Three (3) sewer service stubs were included in the original design.
• During construction, seven (7) sewer stubs were added at the request of property owners
who were developing or subdividing undeveloped lots.
• Twenty (20) driveway approaches were included in the original design to accommodate
existing properties.
• In addition, seven (7) driveway approaches were added, by change order, during
construction to accommodate property owner requests.
Current Council Request. Engineering has reviewed the large undeveloped lots within both LIDs
and worked with Planning staff to determine the number of legal lots which each could be
subdivided. Staff has also estimated the costs of construction of water and sewer stubs, as well as,
water and sewer service fees (including frontage and area fees, connection (stub) fees, system
fees, meter, and tap fees). The cost to construct a nominal 20 -ft width driveway approach to each
potential lot was also estimated. That information is detailed in the attached spreadsheet; and
summarized below.
Water fees: Front footage, area and system fees are based on the current established published
rates and compensate the City for capital infrastructure previously installed. The water service
connection fee of $1,015 covers the cost of City staff tapping the main and installing the water
service to the meter box at the property line. The estimated total water connection fees for a typical
64 ft. by 125 ft lot (8,000 SF) would be $2,965.40.
Sewer fees: Front footage, area, system, and tap fees are based on current established published
rates and compensate the City for previously installed capital infrastructure. If the City installs the
sewer stub from the main to the property line there is an additional Sewer Stub Fee of $4,000. The
actual costs incurred for the additional sewer stubs installed with LID 148, as a change order,
equaled $66.52 per linear foot. The estimated total sewer connection fees, including sewer stub,
on the same 8,000 SF lot cited above would be $5,600.52 (using the actual linear foot cost paid
during construction and assuming a stub length of 34 LF. The actual costs for installing the sewer
stubs now will be greater than the costs incurred with the LID construction as the street has now
been paved (current construction estimate is $92.00 per linear foot).
Drvewav aDproaches: Driveway approaches could be installed at each of the potential lots and
would require horizontally cutting the existing curb, excavation of the existing soil, cutting and
removing of the existing 4-in. sidewalk, placing and compacting crushed surfacing base course and
placement of the 6 -in. thick driveway approach slab and replacement sidewalk. The estimated cost
(today) to install these approaches is $2,270.00. (The installation of nominal 20 -ft. wide driveway
approaches during LID 148 was $2,546.04 and $1,262.83 during LID 149.) It should be noted that
the City typically does not install nor require developers of subdivisions to install driveway
approaches until a residence or business is permitted for construction on a given lot. Subdivisions
are required only to install curb & gutter along the streets until a specific lot is permitted for home
construction. This way, the driveway will be installed in the correct location. Both the development
community and the City have found (through experience) that it is very costly to "estimate" the

location of driveways only to have to come back later and tear out the approach, replace curb &
gutter, and reconstruct the driveway approach in a new location. In essence, the builder expends
more than twice the cost of a driveway that is constructed once the layout of the residence is
established.
Financing: Upon consultation with legal counsel, it has been determined that an additional
construction contract could be established to construct the additional utility connections and
driveway approaches. The costs of these improvements would be borne by either the individual
property owner solely or by some partnership between the property owner and the City. The
property owner's portion could be added to his /her LID final assessment amount and financed with
the LID. This financed portion can include the actual sewer stub and driveway approach
construction costs and City service connection fees (which are reimbursement for capital
infrastructure previously constructed). If the property owner chooses to include only the driveway
approach and sewer stub costs in the financing, he /she would still be liable for the other City
service connection fees current at the time of building permit and connection application.
Please do not hesitate to let us know if you need additional information or clarification of the
information provided.

II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
9/30: Discussion
10/7: MOTION: I move to approve Amendment No. 1 to the Interlocal Agreements
with Pasco School District providing standards for security fencing at Maya
Angelou Elementary, James McGee Elementary, Virgie Robinson Elementary and
any future joint project sites and, further, authorize the City Manager to sign the
Agreement.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) The City and Pasco School District have had joint park/school sites for many
years with shared space and maintenance of these areas. This has been beneficial
to both parties and provided additional space for the school and park users.
A) Because of various incidents at schools around the nation, most recently at Sandy
Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, the school district is fencing
off access to schools during school hours, which will affect the joint park/school
sites.
B) Attached are maps showing where the school district and the city propose to place
the fences at the joint sites. The school district will pay for all materials,
installation and modifications to the fences at the current sites and future
development, such as School #14 at Road 60 & Sandifer to be built in 2014. The
placement of the fences was discussed at the August Park Board meeting and the
Board concurs with staff that it is better to keep the field areas intact rather than
splitting them up and losing the use of the field altogether.
C) Gates will be added at various locations allowing for easy access during non-
school hours. Most of the use of these parks is after school hours. Gates can be
made easily identifiable by archways or decorative posts.
D) City and District staff met and discussed the issues brought up at the Council
Workshop on August 12. The placement of gates will be coordinated with Police
and Fire Departments. It was determined that moving fences closer to the schools
would be a safety issue for evacuation purposes. Locating the fences where they
are proposed would allow enough room to evacuate the school and also keep track
of where the children are during an emergency.
E) Staff recommends approval of the amendment to the Interlocal Agreements

AMENDMENT No. 1
Pursuant to Ch. 39.34 RCW, the City of Pasco and Pasco School District have entered into a
Master Interlocal Cooperation Agreement dated June 8, 2004 and an Agreement dated July 7,
1980 for joint use of City Parks. The Agreements provide they may be amended at any time by
the mutual consent of the parties expressed by the adoption of appropriate resolution by the
governing body of each party.
Accordingly, the City and the District agree to the following Amendments to each respective
Agreement:
1. The District will provide additional security fencing at the following school campuses:
Maya Angelou Elementary, James McGee Elementary, Virgie Robinson Elementary and
any future joint project sites. The District will be responsible for repair and maintenance
of fences that pertain to the security perimeter.
2. Each security fence will have an access gate (between sixteen and eighteen feet wide)
for emergency vehicles. The District agrees to install a Knox box for each large gate and
provide keys in the Knox box(es) for each gate.
3. The District will provide a key to the City for maintenance access purposes.
4. District staff will lock all access gates at approximately fifteen (15) minutes after school
take -up time and unlock the gates approximately five (5) minutes prior to school release
time on scheduled school days. All gates will be unlocked during holidays, weekends,
after school, and during scheduled school breaks.
5. The District may lock the gates for safety purposes during outdoor maintenance
activities.
6. There will be no public access to district playgrounds and fields from adjacent City parks
during the normal school day.
7. If it is mutually determined by the parties that security fencing would have a
detrimental impact to the City Park, the District will be responsible for the cost of
relocating any security fencing to the District property line.
8. Location of all initial and future gates (if required) to be agreed to by both parties. All
gates to be designed to stand out with arch or other design designating an entrance.
9. Any costs associated with gate opening and closing by City staff will be reimbursed by
the District.

II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:

III. FISCAL IMPACT:
$13,700 General Fund
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
V.
A) The Library facility located at 1320 W. Hopkins was constructed in the 1960's
and various updates have occurred during the last 50 years. The Library is
currently operated under contract by the Mid - Columbia Library District. The
library, until April 2013, was the only library in Pasco and consequently was
heavily used; the facility remains consistently busy.
A) The District has requested to make some modification to the interior of the
building to give the facility a more modern feel and facilitate additional area for
the expanding need for electronic media, as well as a new coat of paint to brighten
the interior space. Staff has evaluated the request from the district and does not
see any structural reasons for concern with any of the items listed in the attached
letter. The district estimates their cost of this project will be approximately
$100,000 dollars. Due to funding constraints and project schedules throughout
the District the project needs to be completed by December 31, 2013.
B) The District has also requested that the city participate in this renovation project
by updating the sign that is located on the northwest corner of the property. It is
in need of some repairs and this would be a good time to replace the sign. Along
with the sign replacement the district has also asked the city to repaint the exterior
of the building with a new color to blend with the repainting of the interior space.
The cost to the city is estimated to be $13,700.
C) The District anticipates the library will be closed from November 28, 2013 to
January 2, 2014 and advises that the holiday season is a relatively "slow" period
for library use (as opposed to summer, when it is heavily used for reading
programs, etc.). Every effort will be made to open the library sooner if all goes
well.
D) Staff recommends Council concurrence with this project.

City Manager
City of Pasco
525 North Third Ave.
Pasco, WA 99301
Dear Mr. Crutchfield:
Neva LeBlond Sequette Service [enter
405 S. Dayton • Kennewick, WA 993360 (509) �a1.474.5 • Fax (509) 737-6349
As a heavily -used library system, we often see the need to update and improve our facilities
due to regular wear and tear. We are establishing a four -year cycle for facilities
improvements system -wide, and the Pasco Branch is slated for improvements in late 2013.
We would like to work together as move on to the next steps of this proposed project.
As we evaluated the Pasco Branch for updates and improvements, we created a plan that
would include the following work:
® Removal of remaining, original wooden shelving and facings along outer interior
walls.
W Removal of unused wall unit heaters.
a Rerouting of AC/Heating vents in current wooden shelving to floor vents to allow for
placement of new metal shelving around outer interior walls.
Rerouting of electrical outlets in current wooden shelving to wall outlets.
® Repainting of the interior to include new branding color palette.
m Replacement of stained and worn carpet squares.
* Installation of two to four drop poles for added electrical outlets for customer use in
seating areas of branch.
® Purchase and installation of new shelving.
• Purchase and placement of new furniture for seating areas.
The library system will assume the costs of these improvements.
With your permission, we would like to move forward with these plans to improve the Pasco
Branch library, and schedule the workto be performed in late- October, early - November.
We anticipate that this work could be completed in three weeks, and would require the
library to be closed for this period of time.
1
if this is acceptable to the City, communications to our Pasco customers will include posted
signs, website announcements, and direct email notifications of the project and the closure.
The communications would also direct customers to the West Pasco Branch and other
library branches for services during the closure.
We anticipate providing extended open hours at the West Pasco Branch during this project.
The proposed schedule at the West Pasco Branch while the Pasco Branch is closed is:
Monday- Thursday
9 AM to 9 PM
Friday
9 AM to 7 PM
Saturday
9 AM to 5 PM
Sunday
1 PM to 5 PM
Mid- Columbia Libraries Board of Trustees and I appreciate the efforts the City of Pasco has
put forth to improve library services to its community. We are excited to move forward with
the project. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at (509) 737 -6357.
Sincerely,

restrictions on certain streets, and finther, authorize publication
by summary only.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
None
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) The Engineering Division received a request from a resident and a Council
Member to review the parking conditions along Manzanita Lane just north of "A"
Street. The Council Member and resident both expressed concern with allowing
parking along both sides of the street during evening hours. There is significant
use of on- street parking due to limited parking spaces inside the new apartment
complex, the Tierra Vida Apartments. Manzanita Lane is a 36 -foot wide section
(measured face -of -curb to face -of- curb). Parking is currently allowed along both
sides of the street.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) Engineering staff has performed an evaluation of Manzanita Lane and noted
limited street width to accommodate emergency vehicles and limited sight
distance when vehicles are parked close to "A" Street. Allowing parking on both
sides of the street results in a very narrow travel path, ultimately causing vehicle
congestion and more importantly pedestrian safety issues and emergency response
access issues.
D) Engineering recommends restricting parking along both side of Manzanita Lane
from "A" Street to approximately 150 feet north. This restriction will provide
additional width for emergency response vehicles, improve pedestrian safety and
sight distance for south bound drivers on Manzanita Lane.
E) This ordinance will amend Section 10.56.080 (Schedule III, Parking Prohibited at
All Times on Certain Streets) of the Pasco Municipal Code to add and/or revise
the following streets to the list of prohibited parking streets:
Add: Manzanita Lane. both sides from "A" Street to 150 feet North.

N/A
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Note: consideration of the Ordinance and Resolution were tabled from the meeting of
September 16 after the City had received a letter from an attorney representing Charter
Communications. As the City had not had a chance to respond to the letter it was determined to
postpone final action. The City's letter in response has been provided in Council's meeting
packet.
A) The City is in the process of renewing the non - exclusive cable franchise (agreement) with
Charter Communications for use of the public rights -of -way.
B) To better utilize resources, the City has partnered with the City of Richland to co-
negotiate with Charter in the renewal process. To insure the cities receive the best
possible agreement for its citizens, the cities retained The Buske Group for guidance and
advice through the renewal process.
C) As part of the review process, the consultant has recommended updating PMC Title 15,
last amended in 1998, and has recommended several changes contained in the proposed
language.
4(g)
D) Additionally, formal customer service standards, in conformance with FCC regulations,
are proposed in a separate Resolution as referenced by Section 15.95.240(H)(4) of the
Ordinance. (Council please note revisions have been made to Section 2.4.3 and 24 of the
Resolution to reference appropriate PMC sections)
V. DISCUSSION:
A) While the proposed changes in Title 15 may seem lengthy, much of the language would
be necessarily captured in some form in every franchise agreement.
B) Since franchise agreements are a negotiated document, the possibility exists of changing
City right -of -way requirements depending on a number of factors during the renewal (or
first -time application) process. Including these basic requirements in the PMC minimizes
the need to negotiate these items within individual franchise agreements.
C) These amendments will help insure Charter and potential new cable providers meet the
same requirements ("level playing field ").
D) Charter has been advised of the Council meeting schedule for considering these
amendments and has been provided with an advance copy of this proposed Ordinance.
