RESOLUTION NO. 2595
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS
PROVIDING PROCEDURES FOR THE GRANTING OF CABLE TELEVISION
FRANCHISES.
WHEREAS, Section 1100 of the Charter of the City of Cypress provides that
the City Council may, by Resolution, provide procedures for the awarding of
franchises; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 6 of the Cypress City Code providing procedures for
awarding franchises for cable television systems has been repealed because
the provisions thereof have been rendered out of date by recent developments
in the field; and
WHEREAS, the enactment of a replacement Ordinance at this time would be
insufficient and uneconomical and would not result in the submission of
applications for cable television systems which would best serve the needs
of the citizens of Cypress; and
WHEREAS, pending the formulation and adoption of a future replacement
Ordinance, the City Council wishes to retain the maximum degree of flexibility
reasonably practicable in the awarding of such franchises so as to assure
the best possible cable television service to the citizens of Cypress.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS HEREBY DOES
RESOLVE THAT:
SECTION 1. The procedures applicable to the awarding of cable television
system franchises shall include:
(a) The distribution to potential applicants of a Request for
Proposals in such form or forms as the City Council may from time to
time approve;
(b) An opportunity for each applicant to publicly discuss its
proposal with the City Council;
(c)
(d)
and
The selection of acceptable applicant(s);
Negotiation of franchise agreement(s) with such applicant(s);
(e) The formal award of the franchise(s) by the City Council.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Cypress at a regular
