A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ANAHEIM OPPOSING THE PROPOSAL OF THE FED-
ERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION TO IMPOSE
LIMITATIONS ON THE FEE WHICH MAY BE CHARGED
BY THE CITY FOR A CATV FRANCHISE AND THE USES
OF THE FUNDS DERIVED THEREFROM.
WHEREAS, the Federal Communications Commission has
published in the Federal Register notice of its Clarification
of the Rules and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking; and
WHEREAS, the Clarification of the Rules and Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking contain provisions that will impose
limitations on the percentage, amount, and source of revenues
that a city may lawfully impose upon a Franchisee; and
WHEREAS, the Clarification of the Rules and Notice
of Rulemaking further purports to establish the exact manner
in which such revenues may be employed by a city; and
WHEREAS, the cities have been traditionally vested
with the right to establish the terms and fee by which a
Franchisee may be permitted to use the city streets and
rights of way; and
WHEREAS, cities have, and must continue to maintain,
exclusive control over the use of revenues lawfully paid to the
cities from the grant of such a franchise; and
WHEREAS, the proposed action by the Federal Communi-
cations Commission would conflict with the lawful authority of
city governments and constitute an unwarranted intrusion into
local affairs.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of
the City of Anaheim that the Council go on record as strongly
opposed to the proposal of the Federal Communications Commission
to limit the amount and source of revenues and the percentage
fee it may legitimately impose on a Franchisee; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Anaheim go on record as strongly opposed to the proposal
by the Federal Communications Commission to establish the use
to which a City may employ the funds; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Anaheim urges
the United States Crnference of Mayors, National League of Cities,
and the California League of Cities to actively oppose the pro-
posed actions by the Federal Communications Commission.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION is approved and signed by me
this 28th day of May, 1974.
