FROM: J. MICHAEL WALFORD, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
DATE: September 11, 1984
SUBJECT: Ponderosa Cablesystem's Request for Construction Timetable Extension
Specific Request(s) or Recommendation(s) & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATION
Approve Ponderosa Cablesystem' s request for a construction timetable extension through
February 5, 1985 for all franchise areas except Blackhawk and a five year
extension for the Blackhawk area.
BACKGROUND
The franchise with Ponderosa Cablesystems calls for operation of the cablesystem by August
6, 1984. Ponderosa Cable has requested extension of that deadline date to February 5,
1985. The County Cable Television Ordinance No. 82-28, Section 58-8.004, Construction
Timetable, states that the Board of Supervisors must approve any delay in the terms o
the timetable.
Ponderosa cites two reasons for their delay:
1. A landslide along Marsh Creek Road. Apparently the landslide, which occurred
12 years ago, destroyed the telephone company poles and Ponderosa has been waiting
a determination from the telephone company on whether the poles would be replaced
or if the wires would be underground. Currently, plans are for undergrounding
in September, 1984.
2. The headend facilities necessary for reception have not been completed due to
delay in site approval by the City of Danville. (The permits were originally
granted on April 2, 1984. However with the City granting Ponderosa a franchise
within their limits, a new larger dish necessitated a resubmittal of the landuse
permit and development plans. )
Although large in area (see Exhibit A for map), the Ponderosa cablesystem will serve only
about 235 homes when completed (exclusive of Blackhawk) . There are 33 miles of cable
of which 10 miles have been completed, another 10 miles stranded but not cabled, and 13
miles still need both stranding and cabling. In addition, there is approximately 2500
feet of underground cable to be installed along the slide area on Marsh Creek Road.

In addition to approving the construction timetable extensions requested above, the
Board DIRECTED the Public Works Director to review standards imposed on the cable
systems by the various cities in the county so that there may be uniformity.

In addition, Ponderosa Cablesystems has requested an extension in the provision of cable
'. service' in the Blackhawk area. Apparently, Ponderosa has not been granted access to the
private roads of Blackhawk, although it would be ready to provide cable service as soon
as access was granted. Since the access issue has not yet been resolved, staff believes
that it would be best to grant Ponderosa Cable an extension of their construction timetables
for Blackhawk, thus putting Ponderosa Cable in compliance with their franchise agreement
with the County. Five years should be ample time to resolve the access issue.
