BACKGROUIVD: .
As Council is aware, Mission Cable TV has requested that no action
be taken to amend the existing franchise until the Certificate of
Compliance has been issued by the FCC.
However, it is deemed desirable to proceed with two substantive
- amendments in the interest of the City of Chula Vista. The first
is an amendment raising the franchise fee from 28 to 38 and to
arrange for semi-annual payments . The second is to specifically
approve of the "pay television" concept with the understanding
that the City Council would have the right to approve whatever
programming schedule or project was being contemplated. This
would not mean that the Council would in any way have the authority
to approve program content, but merely the general scheme.
Council is also aware that staff is working on amendments to the
business license ordinance so that appropriate licensing fees
could be applied to the "pay television" prograimning which would
not be a part of the cable TV ordinance.
This ordinance was placed on its first reading at the meeting of December S, 1972
and is no�a ready to be placed on second reading and adoption.
