SUBJECT: Resolution 82/781 - Deletion of Condition #8
Specific Request(s) or Recommendations(s) & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATION:
Delete condition number 8 from Resolution No. 82/781 (Attached) so that the Mid-West (Ponderosa) Cable
Franchise does not require service to the Blackhawk area.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None. The Blackhawk area is currently served by Televents,not Ponderosa Cable. The County receives franchise
fees from Televents for this area.
BACKGROUND:
In a letter dated April 24, 1989,Ponderosa Cable Systems requested deletion of condition#8 from Resolution 82/
781. Condition#8 states:
"This license is granted under the terms and conditions that Grantee will provide service within ninety(90)
days to those residents of the Blackhawk area should there be need for emergency service, six (6)months
to the entire Blackhawk-area and two (2) years for the entire license area."
County Ordinance No. 82-28, Chapter 58-4.006 prohibits a cable company from entering private property for
purposes of operating or providing a Cable TV system without the express consent of the owner. Ponderosa has
been denied permission to install cable along the private roads of Blackhawk. Therefore,it cannot provide service
in Blackhawk. Televents, Inc., also franchised in that area, is currently serving the residents of Blackhawk.
