RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and
Clerk of the Council to execute an amendment with Communications Support
Group, Inc. to assist the City with the cable television franchise
renewal process for an additional amount of $20,000 and a total amount
not to exceed $50,100.
DISCUSSION
Specialized planning and financial analysis is required for the cable
television franchise renewal process. These consulting services provide
strategic development, negotiation support, fact finding, and financial
analysis. Communication Support Group, Inc. has assisted over 20 cities
with their cable franchise renewals. On December 20, 2004 the City
entered into an agreement with Communications Support Group, Inc. to
finalize the franchise renewal. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the
negotiations have been prolonged.
The services provided under this agreement will assist the City in
completing the franchise renewal process. We anticipate finalizing the
renewal by the end of this 2004-05 fiscal year.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are budgeted and available in the City Attorney's Office budget
(account no. 11-031-6191).
