He stated the Request for Proposal (RFP) is a document from the City to the cable operator requesting theit specific proposal for the next 15 year franchise. He stated, alang with the RFP, there is a draft ordinance to be ased as a guide to obtain the proposal from Nortel Cable. He stated additional materials include inf ormation from School District No. 14, reports fran the ACQ�7 d3ted August 5 and August 13, 1986, and government access needs chted March 5, 1987. He stated, after review this evening by the CoLmcil, he would reoommend these cbc�nnents be submitted to the cable oFerator for their resFonse. � Mr. Fhtz, attorney for the Cable Commission, stated if the Coimcil agproves the suhnission of these cbcwnents to Nortel Cable at this meeting, the cable operator would sutmit a proposal in approximately 60 days. He stated af ter the proposal is reoeived, the Cable Commission would review it and enter into such negotiations that may be neoessaxy. I�fayor Nee stated he tmderstands tmless there is a findi.ng of incompetency, the City would negotiate with the prese� cable o�rator. Cotmcilman Sc3ineider asked what leverage the City has in negotiations with Nortel Cable. Mr. Natz stated one of the groimds ior c�mal of the franchise is failure of the cable operator to sutenit a proposal that meets the needs of the oommtmity. He stated since Nortel has been doing business for only about 1-1/2 years in FricIle�, he dic�'t believe this shaaing wuld Y�e made. � a���nf- UOCa�'r; •��. � ti� �� . � • « � Co�cilman Schneider asked the differenoe between an addressable and non- addressable oonverter. Mr. Nhtz stated the reason the City has an interest in addressable cable is there are Fxogramming everns cbne on a�y per vie,v tasis. He stated this sort of �ogr�n isn't available in FricIley hecause it isn't an addressable systan and more and more eve[zts may go to a Fay per view tr�sis. Cotmcilman Schneider felt it would be in the ewriomic interests of the cable oom�ariy to �wide the addressable syst�n. He stated he clid have a concern on �otecting a sutzscriber's �ivacy. Mr. Nhtz stated subscriber privacy is dealt with both in the Federal and State laws which prohibit cable operators frcm distributing information that idetttifies the viewing habits of the su�scriber. Cotmcilman Schneider stated he felt the addressable system may open up the potential for abuse. t�yor Nee stated he would just as soon not require an addressable system, k:ut would like to specifically re3uire that production studios be maintaired in FricIle�. Mr. Nhtz stated as far as School District 14's proposal, this could be � sutmitted directly to Nortel Cable for their response or staff could research it and provide further information, He stated he felt it would be best to suhnit it to Nortel for their review of the proposal. Mr, Fbravetz stated the RFP contains a commitment for equignent in the amotmt of $90,000 the first y�r and $50,000 for each succeeding year for the 15 year franchise. Mr. Matz stated the equignent would be distributed at the Council's discration to public acoess, govermment or library access, or the School District. He stated he thought if the City decided there wasn't a need for additiort3l e3uipnerit in a given year, the funds could be accumulated in a reserve. He stated it is an orrgoing commitment 1� the cable �m�ny in the form of equignent, not cash. He stated the reason it is for equipnent and not cash is so there is not a violation of the 5� franchise fee. Mr. Nbravetz stated Mark Neunan-Soott and the ACQaT incorporated some of the needs of the City in their report as there is a �oint use of egui�.ment. He stated as far as atiy �apital improvenent, the studio improvements in City Hall would be in excess of what the AC6J pro�ected. Mr, Hwit, Assistant to the City Manager, stated the City's indication of reecls is somewhat less than the ACGW's and there is some overlap in the r��sts. He stated there is a 000perative effort for a maximun use of the � limited resouroes and the two proposals are not intended to be in conflict with each other. He stated the present franchise refers to a public access entity and envisions only one entity that would receive equipment. He stated the refranchisi.ng could wntain referenoe to public access entities. -7- � � � ���`��� .1� i� • �« - )l�Iyl NDTION by Councilman Schneider to su�nit the Request for Proposal for rerewal of the cable television franchise datec3 March 3, 1987 to Nortel C�ble, along with the AC6i Business Plan dated Auqust 5, 1986; the ACQd Report dated Auqust 13, 1986; School District No. 14 Cable Television Propoeal chted Januacy, 1987; and goverrment access needs �o7ections c1ated March 5, 1987.
