Chapter 5.16 CABLE TELEVISION FRANCHISE
Section 5.16.140 Rates and charges.
A. The city reserves the right to
regulate rates for cable services to the extent permitted by
law. In the event that the Cable Act is amended or repealed, or restrictions on the authority of the
city to regulate rates are otherwise removed or lessened, or the FCC or any court permits the city
to regulate such rates, the city may at its discretion, establish procedures and standards for the
rates and regulate such rates to the extent of its regulatory authority under federal, state and local
laws.
B. The company may unilaterally adjust
all rates that are not subject to regulation, provided
that at least forty-five days prior to the effective date of any increase in rates the company
notifies the city council and city administrator, setting forth the new rates and at least thirty days
prior to the effective date of any such increase, the company provides written notice of such
increase to all subscribers. (Ord. 496 § 2 (part), 1993)
