which would allow the 2003 rate request to be evaluated by the cable consultant within that <br />context. <br />2003 Tolling and Accounting Order -Extends the review period for evaluation of the 2003 <br />rate increase proposed by Time Warner Cable by approximately 150 days (from October 1St to <br />March 1St) <br />This action will enable the cable consultant to conduct a thorough review of the proposed rate <br />request and preserve the County's ability to order refunds by TWC for any identified <br />overcharges during the 2003 calendar year. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no additional cost to the County in adopting these orders. Fees <br />for the cable consultant are already included within the current operating budget. Adoption of <br />these orders will however protect Orange County consumers from any charges found to be <br />unreasonable and ensure that TWC will have to provide refunds. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board adopt both the 2002 Rate <br />Order and the 2003 Tolling and Accounting Order consistent with the authority granted Local <br />Franchising Authorities by the FCC to protect the public interest. <br />
