Micheau explained that the 1992 Cable Act provided authority for local jurisdictions to regulate basic cable rates. Rates were to be analyzed by comparison with benchmarks established by the FCC dating back to September of 1993. The City contracted with 3 -H Cable Communications Consultants to administer its cable franchise and to perform the rate analysis. The resolution under consideration is a rate order that basically establishes a bench mark from which any potential refunds from TCI Cable Co. to Tukwila subscribers can be measured. The rate refund can extend back as long as 12 months. The rates, as stated in the resolution, were implemented by TCI in September of this year. Refunds are estimated at $.50 to .60 per month (x12) equaling $7.20 per year per subscriber. The reimbursement will most likely be paid to TCI through a reduction in the franchise fees paid to the City next year. There being no public comment forthcoming, Mayor Rants closed the public hearing at 7:18 p.m. MOVED BY ROBERTSON, SECONDED BY HERNANDEZ, THAT THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION BE READ BY TITLE ONLY.
