EXTEND CURRENT CABLE TV FRANCHISE AGREEMENT
TO DECEMBER 15, 1996, REFER MATTER OF CABLE
BURIAL TO FINANCE COMMITTEE AND CONTINUE
SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE

An ordinance entitled "An ordinance


which had been introduced and passed on its first reading on September 4, 1996, and upon which public hearing had been continued until this evening, was presented and read for consideration.

Mayor Owens called upon the audience to see if there was anyone present who had comments to make on this matter.

Council Member Hamerlik reported that at the committee hearing there was some discussion relating to burial of cable and to what depth, and perhaps should be in the franchise or if not, then in the Code. He said that in talking with the city attorney it is not in the franchise ordinance, and is concerned that when cable not put into ground properly and is consistently being broken and property owner receives charge for repair.

Howard Swanson, city attorney, reported he has met with TCI and discussed the
14679
October 21, 1996

issue and has spoken with engineering, that there is no standard that has been included in the franchise agreement; that he has consulted with the State and talked in terms of the one-call system and what impact that may have in cable locations, that he is not aware of any city in the state of North Dakota or otherwise that has a standard for either the timeliness or depth of cable burial. He reported that in his conversations with TCI they believe that the location and the one-call system will be of great benefit and reduce some of those cuts or splices, does not believe that there is basis for homeowner to be charged for that repair if cut in the course of normal lawn maintenance. He stated that if the council is of the opinion that a standard should be included, it should be included in the franchise agreement and not attempt to adopt at a later time; cable is different than the electrical code, that our other franchise agreements don't have similar standards of burial of this nature so would be drawing one up if that is council's intent.

Jerry Hovet, TCI, reported that in the older sections of town most cable buried between 6 and 10 inches, they try to be above Northwestern Bell as well as gas and power services. He stated some of the problems happening relate to new construction in new areas when landscaping done after cable burial. He stated that if someone comes in and cuts their cable, they should be able to recover those costs ($43.00 and not $60.00 as stated). He reported that the one-call system requires that anyone doing any digging gives a call.

Mr. Grasser, asst. city engineer, reported this has become more of a problem lately, always been problem with depth of burial, etc. but in last six months to year have been getting calls where property owner being charged for repair of the cable when cut during landscaping, yard maintenance, etc. maintenance work. He stated they would like to see something adopted in the franchise ordinance or in the Code and to see this problem resolved.

Mayor Owens closed the public hearing.

It was moved by Council Member Glassheim and seconded by Council Member Beyer that we refer the matter of cable burial to the finance committee and extend current franchise agreement to December 15, 1996 and continue second reading of the ordinance. Carried 11 votes affirmative.
