FROM: J. MICHAEL WALFORD, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
DATE: OCTOBER 2, 1984
SUBJECT: DEREGULATION OF TELEVENTS OF EAST COUNTY
Specific Requests or Recommendation(s) Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file report from Public Works Director concerning Televent's notice to the
County to deregulate its cable television rates.
BACKGROUND
On July 20, 1984, the Board of Supervisors received a letter from Televents notifying
the County of its intention to exempt itself from County control on rate charges and rate
structures as permitted under State law. On August 13, 1984, Televents submitted evidence
showing it meets the State criteria for deregulation . Staff has examined the evidence
submitted by Televents and found the deregulation notice in conformance with State Law.
Deregulation will not affect the annual 3% franchise fee paid to the County by Televents
for use of the public right of way. However, Televent's yearly contribution of 50 cents
per subscriber for community access will be paid to the State Foundation, rather than
the County.
