' ORDINANCE NO. 3�4
An Ordinance Repealing the CATV Relief Ordinance,
Ordinance No. 12-85, and CATV Relief Ordinance
Amendment, Ordinance No. 57-88, Providing for the
Continuance of Certain Aspects of the CATV Relief
Ordinance, As Amended, and Restructuring the
Manner in which Local Programming is Funded.
The City Council of the City of Eden Prairie ordains as
follows:
Section 1. Short Title.
This Ordinance shall be known as the "Local Programming
Restructuring Ordinance. "
Section 2. Background and Purpose.
In 1984, Grantee requested that the Southwest Suburban Cable
Commission ("SWSCC") and Member Cities substantially restructure
certain aspects of the Franchise in response to the serious
financial difficulties experienced by the Grantee. The Member
Cities enacted the CATV Relief Ordinance and the SWSCC and the
Member Cities entered into the Performance Agreement in response
to Grantee's request. The result was to reduce Grantee's Local
Programming Obligations and Franchise Fee requirement, provide
Grantee with an incentive to refinance its debt obligation and
increase the involvement of the SWSCC and Member Cities in funding
Local Programming Obligations and monitoring Grantee' s
performance. The CATV Relief Ordinance Amendment was enacted in
1988 as a part of the transfer of control of Grantee and resulted
in the continuance of the CATV Relief Ordinance with some
modification.
In 1990, Grantee petitioned SWSCC to extend the provisions of the
CATV Relief Ordinance and CATV Relief Ordinance Amendment
` (collectively "Relief Ordinances") through the term of the
franchise. The SWSCC and Grantee reviewed the request through a
series of meetings of the SWSCC operating committee and
commission. The SWSCC, Member Cities and Grantee concur that the
implementation of the Relief Ordinances has contributed to the
achievement of the original goal of the SWSCC and its Member
Cities: stabilizing and improving the financial condition of the
Grantee. As a result, certain SWSCC oversight responsibilities
and reporting requirements imposed by the Relief Ordinances and
Performance Agreement are no longer necessary.
The SWSCC and Grantee also concur that certain changes in the
usage of channels on the cable system and the provision of access
programming, community access programming and local origination
a
programming (collectively "Local Programming") resulted in a
channel line-up including more satellite programming services than
originally proposed by Grantee, as well as focusing Local S
Programming channels so as to better serve the Member Cities. The
resulting programming line-up provides diversity and appeal to
CATV subscribers while maintaining a strong Local Programming
component. It was agreed that the mix and level of satellite
services and Local Programming should be continued.
Finally, it was determined that since Grantee had improved and
stabilized its financial condition, it should assume full
responsibility for funding Local Programming as was contemplated
at the time of the Franchise award. Since the SWSCC will no
longer be a direct participant in the funding of Local
Programming, it was determined that the role of the SWSCC in the
oversight of Local Programming should be restructured.
The SWSCC has adopted a resolution approving the modification and
extension of certain provisions of the Relief Ordinances and
related documents ("SWSCC Resolution") . Each of the Member Cities
must also adopt a similar Resolution. This Ordinance will be
effective only if the terms of the SWSCC Resolution are satisfied
and Grantee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Ordinance
through the execution of an Acceptance Agreement.
Section 3. Relationship to Cable Communications Ordinance.
This Ordinance does not permanently amend any provision of the
Cable Communications Ordinance (the "Franchise") but provides that
certain provisions of that ordinance are modified for a period of
time as provided herein. Except as expressly modified in this
Ordinance and related agreements entered into pursuant to this
Ordinance, the provisions of the Franchise remain in full force
and effect. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between
the Franchise or offering and any provision of this Ordinance, the
Restated Performance Agreement or any other document entered into
pursuant to this Ordinance, the provision of this Ordinance, the
Restated Performance Agreement or said document entered into
pursuant to this Ordinance shall be controlling so long as this
ordinance remains in effect.

An annual franchise fee of 4% shall be paid to City in equal
quarterly payments on or before the first day of each of the
months of November, February, May and August next following the
end of Grantee's fiscal year. These payments are consistent with

spent to fund the Restructured Local Programming Obligations shall
be deducted from Gross Revenues.
Subdivision 2. Letters of Credit. The City Council may by
resolution reduce the required amount of the Letter of Credit
below $50,000 if in its sole discretion it determines that a
lesser amount is reasonable and adequate to protect the public.
It may thereafter, by resolution, require the amount of the Letter
of Credit to be increased or fully restored to the amount of
$50, 000. Grantee shall comply with this requirement within sixty
days after written notice has been given by the City.
Subdivision 3 . Performance Bond. The Grantee may dispense
with the $300,000 performance bond required by the Franchise. The
City Council may thereafter by resolution require that such bond,
or similar bond in a lesser amount, be provided by Grantee.

the role of the SWSCC and the Member Cities shall be advisory in
nature and neither the SWSCC or Member Cities shall be required to
provide ongoing direct financial support for the News Show.
Grantee shall be obligated to continue to fund and produce the
News Show for a period of two (2) years through the second weekly
show of November, 1993. Thereafter, Grantee shall be required to
expend at least $100,000 annually of its total funding requirement
under the Restructured Local Programming Obligations on local
origination programming. Such funding shall be expended by
Grantee in consultation with the SWSCC, as set forth in the
Restated Performance Agreement.
All provisions of the Relief Ordinances and
Performance Agreement related to the funding of Local Programming
shall remain in effect through July 31, 1992.
Beginning August 1, 1992, Grantee shall
assume full responsibility for funding the Restructured Local
Programming Obligations. From August 1 through December 31, 1992,
the budget for local programming shall be 5/12ths of $347,000;
-4-
provided that Grantee shall be required to meet all Restructured
Local Programming Obligations, including the production of the
News Show, irrespective of the actual cost of meeting such
obligations. Thereafter, the annual budget shall be escalated by
an amount equal to five percent (5%) of such budget on an
annualized basis as estimated in Exhibit 2 hereto. Throughout the
term of this Ordinance, Grantee shall consult with the SWSCC
concerning the provision of the Restructured Local Programming
Obligations pursuant to the terms of the Restated Performance
Agreement. The expenditures made pursuant to this subdivision
shall be in complete satisfaction of Grantee's total Restructured

and shall be deemed to satisfy Grantee's Local Programming
Obligations as well.
The amount of funding for the Restructured
Local Programming Obligations shall not include any costs of
operation, capital for access equipment replacement or
administration not directly related to the provision of Local
Programming. Grantee shall be responsible to maintain or replace,

against the funding for the Restructured Local Programming
Obligations.
