Body
SUMMARY
Cox Communications ("Cox") has been providing video service within the City pursuant to a state video franchise certificate issued in accordance with the Digital Infrastructure and Video Competition Act of 20061 ("DIVCA"). Pursuant to City ordinance, Cox is required to remit to the City a one percent fee to support public, educational, and governmental ("PEG") channels [Chula Vista Municipal Code ("CVMC") section 5.53.040]. Cox has recently obtained a renewal of its franchise certificate from the California Public Utilities Commission. The renewed certificate allows Cox to continue providing service for another ten years and takes effect on April 27, 2017. Cox has requested that the City reauthorize its PEG fee ordinance before it continues to remit the PEG fee under its renewed certificate. Staff recommends that the City Council reauthorize Municipal Code Chapter 5.53 in order to assure the continued collection of the PEG fee.
