Resolution R06-124 reads as follows:

A RESOLUTION TO EXPRESS CONCERNS ABOUT CABLE LEGISLATION BEFORE THE VIRGINIA GENERAL ASSEMBLY
WHICH LIMITS LOCALITIES’ AUTHORITY TO REGULATE CABLE TELEVISION SYSTEMS

WHEREAS, legislation pending in the 2006 Virginia General Assembly, proposes to repeal Section 15.2-2108 of the Virginia State Code that establishes local authority to franchise and regulate cable television and to create a new framework within which localities would regulate cable operators; and

WHEREAS, the legislation would provide existing and potential cable operators with an alternative to the existing franchise process whereby the locality and cable operators negotiate a franchise to provide the highest level of services to its citizens; and

WHEREAS, if this legislation, in its current form, becomes law, the County would be severely limited in its ability to negotiate the most favorable franchise terms to meet the needs of its citizens by allowing new entrants and existing cable operators to obtain a franchise containing minimum customer service standards, the lowest numbers of PEG channels, and require localities to negotiate 15-year franchises with new entrants within a 45-day timeframe or be forced to adhere to a restrictive Ordinance as provided in the legislation; and

WHEREAS, under the proposed legislation, if the County allows a new entrant to provide cable services that are at a lower level of service than an existing provider, the existing provider can request that its franchise be amended to include these less favorable terms and conditions; and, if a new entrant determines within three years that providing services is no longer economically feasible, it may, upon notice to the locality, surrender its cable franchise for the entire locality; and

WHEREAS, the pending legislation would preempt franchise negotiations currently in progress with Adelphia Communications, (and Cox Communications at a future date), which include enhanced customer service standards; funding for public access, educational and government programming; a more detailed definition of gross revenue affecting a wider base of services; improved financial and insurance provisions; and improved ability to audit cable operators; and

WHEREAS, limiting local elected officials’ ability to negotiate franchises would negatively impact residents for whom local franchise rules ensure that video cable and Internet services are provided in rural areas and to neighborhoods which video service providers might consider less economically attractive; and

WHEREAS, the Board believes that strong local authority over cable television service providers is in the best interest of citizens;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Stafford County Board of Supervisors on this the 21st day of February, 2006, that it does hereby oppose the current cable franchise legislation unless it is amended to provide localities the authority and flexibility currently available to negotiate cable television franchises.
