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.
