DISCUSSION: The City's franchise agreement with Sonic Cable Television is scheduled to expire on October 31, 1994. As the Council is aware, staff has been working with Sonic over the last year and a half to develop a renewal franchise agreement. To date, we have yet to reach agreement, and as such, must request another thirty day extension. It is our intention to continue to request thirty day extensions until the franchise renewal negotiations are completed and a draft franchise is ready for Council consideration (in essence we are operating under a "month-to-month" franchise agreement). Staff intends to provide the Council with a full report on the status of the negotiation process with Sonic during the November 1, 1994 meeting. ATTACHMENTS: Resolution G:son-mtm EXTENSION OF FRANCHISE AGREEMENT This Agreement is made and entered into this _ day of , 1994, by and between the City of San Luis Obispo, a dulyauthorized municipal corporation (the "City") and Sonic Cable Leasing Corporation, an Alaska corporation ("Sonic"). WHEREAS, Sonic has operated a cable television system ("System") in the City pursuant to a franchise agreement("Franchise Agreement")entered into between the City and Sonic Cable TV, a California corporation, by Ordinance No. 790, passed December 19, 1978, and effective retroactively April 1, 1978, and transferred to Sonic Leasing Corporation by Resolution No. 6728, dated December 5, 1989; and WHEREAS, the franchise under which Sonic has operated its system expires on October 31, 1994; and WHEREAS, Sonic has requested that its franchise be renewed by the City; and WHEREAS, the City has determined that the public interest would be served by negotiating a renewal of the franchise to Sonic; and WHEREAS, Sonic and the City are in the process of negotiating and drafting a renewal franchise agreement; and WHEREAS, the City has determined that the public interest would be served by granting to Sonic an extension of the franchise pending finalization of the renewal franchise agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, the City and Sonic do hereby agree as follows: 1. The City hereby grants to Sonic an extension of the franchise to and including November 30, 1994. 2. Except as otherwise provided herein, all terms and conditions set forth in the Franchise Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 3.
