BACKGROUND:
On March 14 , 1994 our Committee reviewed the report on policies and
procedures for the use of the CCTV channel and facilities . At the
conclusion of that discussion we asked Pat Burke, our Cable TV
Franchise Administrator, to return to our Committee with an outline
of an appeal process in case an individual or organization is not
satisfied with a decision made by Ms . Burke. On March 28, 1994, we
met with Ms . Burke and reviewed the attached proposed CCTV
Operating Policies and Procedures, including the section on an
appeal process . We believe the policies and procedures are
reasonable and will insure appropriate use of the CCTV channel and
the facilities and equipment we have available. We are, therefore,
recommending that the Board approve the attached policies and
procedures .
In August, 1993, the Board of Supervisors adopted the revised Cable
Television Ordinance and approved the "Agreement for the Delivery
of Access programming in Contra Costa County" . As part of that
agreement, the cable operators were required to provide the County
with a dedicated, interconnected channel and equipment. The
dedicated channel will be activated on six cable systems by
somewhere between June 1, 1994 and July 1, 1994 . The cable
operators were asked to designate one or two channel numbers for
the County community access channel . Most have designated either
channel 18 or 19 . Viacom, for technical reasons brought about by
the new Federal "must carry" rules, is unable to provide either
channel 18 or 19 for CCTV. They have proposed channel 27 .
Ponderosa Cable Systems has also proposed the use of channel 27 .
We are disappointed that Viacom is unable to make use of either
channel 18 or 19, but understand from the technical explanation
that was provided to us the reasons for this problem.
We want to continue our commitment to the goal of having no more
than two channel numbers used for CCTV. We are, therefore, asking
that staff negotiate a letter of agreement with Viacom and with
Ponderosa, if there are similar technical problems with Ponderosa,
which acknowledges our goal of having CCTV broadcast on no more
than two channels, which commits the cable operator to complying
with that goal eventually and which documents what steps will be
taken and over what period of time they will be taken to allow the
operator to broadcast CCTV over channel 18 or 19 . It was noted
that part of the problem here is that Congress did not require or
authorize local governments to require that a single channel number
be used in a community such as a county. We are, therefore, asking
that the Board write to our Federal delegation and urge that
legislation be introduced which would correct this oversight.

SUBJECT: REPORT OF CABLE TELEVISION RATE REGULATION
AMENDMENT AND CONTRA COSTA TELEVISION
Rate Regulation Amendment
As a result of 1993 Federal Cable Television legislation,local jurisdictions were given the authority
to regulate basic tier cable television rates and equipment and installation rates associated with that
tier. Contra Costa County applied for and received certification to regulate basic tier cable television
rates for all cable systems not subject to "effective competition".
However,before rate review can begin,the County must adopt rate regulation procedures consistent
with FCC guidelines. The attached amendment to the County's Cable Television Ordinance
establishes those procedures. This amendment has been sent to all cable operators for their review
and comment.
Upon adoption of this amendment,staff will notify all regulated cable operators that we are certified
and send them a copy of the adopted amendment. The cable operators are then required to submit
a copy of their FCC 393 form or a cost-of-service showing for their basic tier cable television rates to
the County for review. After receipt of the above information, the procedures outlined in the
amendment will be followed.
TCI Franchise Fee and Rate Review Audit
On November 9, 1993, the Board authorized staff to join with cities served by TCI to request
proposals from firms qualified to audit TCI's franchise fees and review their rate proposal. The cities
involved carefully reviewed the three returned proposals from the twenty requests for proposal sent.
Lafayette, Orinda, Martinez and Walnut Creek have asked their councils to authorize funds to
conduct both audits. Brentwood,Pleasant Hill and Moraga will be asking their cities for funding in
the next two weeks.
- 1 -
Due to recent revisions of the Rate Regulations by the Federal Communications Commission(FCC),
TCI cities have agreed that',the rate audit should wait until the rules are published and they have
had an opportunity to review them. (There is a workshop sponsored by the FCC to discuss the 1993
Cable Act and changes on April 13, 1994 which staff and other city cable regulators will attend.)
However, all cities represented agreed that they wanted to proceed with the franchise fee audit.
The County has not done an independent audit of TCI's franchise fees since 1985. At that time, a
discrepancy was discovered-and back franchise fees were recovered. A recent audit of Concord TV
Cable indicated the omission of some revenue that may yield the City five percent more in franchise
fees than those paid. This same revenue may not be included in TCI's payment to us. Since TCI's
revenue documentation is sketchy, it is difficult to determine if these revenues are included.
Cable Ordinance No.82-28 authorizes the County to audit three previous years of franchise fees. The
Cable Coordinators selected from Crow, Chisek from the proposals received because of their
experience with local government franchise audit and their competitive bid. Contra Costa County's
portion of the costs for a franchise fee audit would be approximately$10,000. If the Board requests
additional services, such as the consultant's attendance at Board meetings, there may be some
additional costs. This cost is less than two percent of the total franchise fees that Contra Costa
County receives in one year,from TCI. Thus if TCI has under-reported by two percent or more, the
audit will pay for itself. Moneys from the Community Access Trust Fund could be used and
reimbursed if additional franchise fees are collected.
Contra Costa Television
In August 1993, the Board of Supervisors adopted the revised Cable Television Ordinance and
approved the"Agreement fo'r the Delivery of Access Programming in Contra Costa County". As part
of that agreement, the cable operators were required to provide the County with a dedicated,
interconnect channel and equipment.
The dedicated channel will be activated on six cable systems by June 1, 1994. The path from Volmer
Peak to Watson Tower needs to be completed to connect Viacom,Pittsburg and Bay Cablevision to
the interconnect. County Lease Management staff is talking with Watson Tower owner and East
Bay Regional Park District to determine the most cost effective way to incorporate these systems.
Viacom,Pinole and Antioch,will need to complete their rebuilds to have a channel available. They
should be on line by June 1, 1994.
Until they are on line, Viacom has agreed to continue to duplicate, distribute and air the County
programming that includes Board meeting excerpts and the "Most Wanted Deadbeat Parents" on
their two systems' community television channels at their expense.
The cable operators were asked to designate one or two channel numbers for the County channel.
They have offered the following:
Bay Cablevision,Ch. 18;Century,Ch. 19;Concord TV,Ch. 18;Ponderosa Cable Systems,Ch.27,TCI
of Contra Costa,Ch. 19,TCI of Brentwood,Ch. 19, TCI of Walnut Creek,Ch. 19,Viacom-Pittsburg,
Ch. 27 and Viacom-Pinole, Ch. 27.
- 2 -
The three channels suggested for use are Channels 18, 19 and 27. Initially, Channel 18 was the
channel most systems had agreed to dedicate. As a result of "most carry provisions" and re-
transmission consent, some systems were not able to dedicate this channel.
Viacom agreed to move to channel 18 or 19 when one of them becomes available. (Note: Existing
contracts expire in three years with program providers currently on those channels.)
In accordance with the Agreement with the County, all operators were asked to make"reasonable
efforts"to agree to one and no more than two channel assignments. It is my understanding that the
operators believe they have done this and as a result of Federal legislation, are still unable to give
us fewer than three channels.
At this point, the Board has',two options:
1) Based on the 10/1/93 date that Viacom signed agreements with the two program providers to
use Channels 18 and'19 which were the two channels considered for the interconnect, the
Board could decide that Viacom did not make reasonable efforts to agree on one and no more
than two channel numbers. In which case, Viacom would be in breach of the contract and
appropriate actions could be taken, following the opportunity to cure; or
2) The Board may ask the cable operators to agree to publicize Contra Costa television on their
channel line-up card's and in newspaper or TV Guides to which they provide channel
information. By assisting us with the promotion of Channel identification, the use of three
channels, although not ideal, may not be a significant barrier to CCTV's success.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, staff would ask that the Internal Operations Committee:
1) Introduce the amendment to the Cable Television Ordinances No. 82-28 and 93-55 to
include provisions for enforcement of federal rate regulations for basic service.
Waive reading and Fix adoption for April 19, 1994;
2) Authorize the Franchise Administrator to join with cities served by TCI to accept the
franchise fee audit proposal from Crow-Chisek and pay for the County's portion of the
audit not to exceed $10,000;
3) Direct the Franchise Administrator to proceed with Option 1 or 2 for the Interconnected
County Channel; and
4) Adopt the "Operating Policy and Procedures" for Contra Costa Television (CCTV).
