SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
DIRECT the Cable Television Administrator to set a hearing date for a performance evaluation
of Telecommunications, Inc. (TCI) (all systems) .
BACKGROUND
In recent months, several newspaper articles announced cable television rate hikes planned
by TCI in the Contra Costa County area. Constituents expressed concern about this issue.
As the rate hikes are taking effect and services are changing, it is appropriate for staff to set
a hearing date for a performance review of TCI's systems as authorized in the ordinances
relating to cable television. As part of the evaluation, the issues of possible channel
(in)accessibility and other potential service impacts should be considered.
