M <br />I <br />ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Action Agenda <br />Item No.3L--a <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: August 21, 1990 <br />SUBJECT: Cable TV Ordinance Amendment -- Second Reading ------------------------ -------- <br />DEPARTMENT:- Manager - - -- r PUBLIC -HEARING <br />r--YEST-_'--NO_+X--- <br />ATTACHMENT(S): -- _ -_____ INpORMATION CONTACT: Manager's Office <br />(1) Amendment to Section IV <br />of the Cable TV Ordinance TELEPHONE NUMBER - <br />(2) Section IV of the Cable Hillsborough - 732 -8181 <br />TV Ordinance Chapel Hill - 968 -4501 <br />Mebane - 227 --2031 <br />Durham - 688 -7331 <br />PURPOSE: _To consider amending the Cable TV Ordinance. <br />BACKGROUND: The Cable TV Ordinance Amendment dispenses with extensive <br />procedural requirements necessary for the County to award a <br />franchise. The existing procedural requirements are <br />appropriate for initial franchising of the entire County and <br />perhaps renewals of all County franchises, but are not really <br />meaningful for an area franchise awarded because the current <br />County cable franchises cannot reasonably serve these areas. <br />To be adopted on the first reading, this Ordinance will have <br />to be approved unanimously by the Board. Please note the <br />findings necessary by the Board in highlighted area of the <br />Amendment. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): Approve the Cable TV Ordinance Amendment. <br />
