DIRECT the County Administrator to coordinate a meeting with representatives of

BACKGROUND
Over the recent weeks, there have been several newspaper articles announcing cable
television rate hikes planned by TCI in the Contra Costa County area, and our constituents
have expressed concern about this issue. As the franchisee, it is appropriate for county staff
to meet with TCI representatives to discuss these planned hikes, possible channel
(in)accessibility, and other potential service issues, in order to report back to this Board with
their findings and any recommendations for possible action the Board should take.
