SUBJECT: 17.5' GENERAL UTILITY EASEMENT AROUND THE PERIMETER OF
THE NEW FIRE STATION
DATE: March 8,1994
BACKGROUND:
The new fire station is currently being built east of the old Highway 169 (Garnett Road) and north
of 86th Street North. The property that the fire station is on does not have perimeter easements for
the construction of utilities. Therefore, the staff was requested to prepare a perimeter easement for
the benefit of those utility companies wanting access to the fire station.
The easement was prepared and forwarded to the City Attorney to review and prepare the necessary
documents for council approval.
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Attorney has reviewed the 17.5' general utility easement and has prepared the necessary
documentation for council approval (See attachment). Therefore, the staff recommends City Council
approval of the 17.5' perimeter general utility easement and ask that the Mayor be authorized to
execute such document.

SUBJECT: OWASSO MUNICIPAL FACILITY /INDUSTRIAL PARK
DATE: March 8,1994
BACKGROUND:
On August 3,1993, the City Council approved a contract with McGuire Brothers Construction, Inc.
to construct water and wastewater main lines and extend street sub -base in the City's municipal
facility /industrial park area (Max Buchanan Project). This contract was funded by using a portion of
a Department of Commerce, Economic Development Grant (Accepted by City Council February
2,1993). The second part of this project was to enter into an inter -local agreement with Tulsa
County (Approved by City Council June 15,1993) to lay the asphalt surface for the street. The cost
of this materials for this part of the project was funded by a portion of a Department of
Transportation, Industrial Access Grant (Accepted by City Council January 19,1993).
On February 1, 1994, the City Council approved the latest change order for allowing thermoplastic
striping, arrows, and words be placed on the newly constructed road as well as South Main and the
road that leads to the wastewater treatment plant. The contractor has completed all the required
work described in the contract documents as well as this change order.
McGuire Brothers Construction, Inc. has requested final payment and release of all funds. In
reviewing all documentation for final payment, there is no reason such request should not be
honored. McGuire Brothers has all ready received several partial payments that total $163,770.48,
leaving a balance of $32,965.72.
RECOMMENDATION•
The staff recommends Council acceptance of the improvements to the Owasso Municipal
Facility /Industrial Park and a release of $32,965.72.

FINANCE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: CONTRACT FOR AUDIT SERVICES FOR FISCAL YEAR 1993 -94
DATE: March 11, 1994
BACKGROUND:
By city charter, the council must designate an accountant to make an independent audit of all
accounts and financial transactions of the city. In a letter dated July 9, 1992, the accounting
firm of Stanfield & O'Dell, P.C. proposed to provide audit services to the City of Owasso for
three fiscal years renewable at our option. The proposed fee is $13,000 plus expenses not to
exceed $500 for each of the three years.
Stanfield & O'Dell served as auditors for the City for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1992 and
June 30, 1993. Keeping the same audit firm for more than one year provides consistency in
audit methods and requirements from year to year. Staff can prepare for the audit, knowing
what information and records the auditors will need. Council is able to become familiar with
the audit philosophy and report format.
The audit work performed by Stanfield & O'Dell during the previous two years has been
satisfactory and staff would like to continue that relationship for another year.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Council renew the contract with Stanfield & O'Dell, P.C. for the purpose
of conducting an independent audit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994 for a fee not to
exceed $13,500.

SUBJECT: PARK DEVELOPMENT FUND - BUDGET AMENDMENT
DATE: March 11, 1994
BACKGROUND:
At the June 15, 1993 City Council meeting, a contract was approved for playground equipment
to be purchased from the Park Development Fund. The equipment was received and paid for
in September 1993.
The playground equipment project was included in the budget for the fiscal year which ended
June 30, 1993. Because the equipment was actually received and paid for during the 1994 fiscal
year, it should be included in the FY 1994 budget. (This item should have been presented to
the Council with the other "carry- over" budget requests in November 1993, but it was
overlooked at the time.) The 1993 audit shows an unexpended budget balance of $12,790 in the
Park Development Fund.
This request is for $10,000 (unexpended from fiscal 1993) to be budgeted for expenditure in
fiscal 1994 from the Park Development Fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Council approval of an amendment to the capital outlay portion of the Park
Development Fund budget for $10,000.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
CITY OF OWASSO
FROM: TIMOTHY ROONEY, CITY PLANNER
SUBJECT: PURCHASING OF PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT FOR ELM CREEK
AND RAYOLA PARKS
DATE: June 10, 1993
BACKGROUND:
Since February, Bret Hunt and I have been reviewing different playground equipment options
for both Elm Creek and Rayola Parks. Our goals in selecting equipment centered around the
equipment being durable (withstanding both children and weather elements), safety, amount of
entry points and the amount of activities, and cost. It was also felt that Elm Creek and Rayola
Parks should be selected for playground equipment as it has been over seven years since new
equipment had been placed in either.
Aaron Fence Company, the local distributor for Iron Mountain Forge playground and park
equipment, submitted a brochure to the City that had two pieces of equipment that interested the
staff. Upon discussing these pieces of equipment and the brochure in general, it was discovered
that Aaron Fence Company had also submitted the same brochure and bids to the City of Tulsa
Parks Department. Due to a recent change in our bidding process (Ordinance #455), it enabled
us to utilize the bids awarded by the City of Tulsa because they were a City of over 50,000
people.
Pictures of the two pieces of equipment, one for Rayola Park and the other for Elm Creek Park,
are attached for your information and review. It is our strong opinion and belief that these two
pieces of equipment provide the most durability, safety, accessibility, and activity for the lowest
cost. The total price for both pieces of equipment is $9,282.00 (Freight Included).
In addition to the equipment, it is also necessary to purchase the required material to cover the
ground area in which the equipment is to be located. New safety requirements mandate that all
playground equipment is to be installed with a "resilient surface area" such as pea gravel or
wood chips, in order to provide for a safe area in the event that a child falls from the equipment.
Upon further review, staff felt that wood chips would be a better selection due to costs and '
avoidance of injury should the children actually fall or throw the pea gravel at each other. The
total cost for covering both areas is $1474.00.
In conjunction with the above items, several other items are needed in order to provide for
proper installation, maintenance and drainage of the site in which the playground equipment is
to be located. A complete list of these additional materials is contained within Mr. Hunt's
memorandum included within your packet. Also included is a drainage profile of the equipment
area. The total costs of the associated materials is $1,130.00.
FUNDING:
Funding for this project is contained in FY 92 -93 budget under the "Other Funds" section
entitled "Park Development Fund" (Page 86). The approved budget contains an appropriation
of $15,000 for the purchase and installation of parks equipment.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is recommending Council approval of this project by approving the purchasing of the
following:
$9,282.00 - To Aaron Fence Co. of Tulsa, OK for the purchasing of two
pieces of playground equipment.
$1,474.00 - To Rex Playground Equipment of Oklahoma City, OK for wood
chips for resilient ground cover.
$1,130.00 - To allow for the purchase of additional items to ensure proper
installation, maintenance and drainage of the structures.

An appropriation in the Park Development Fund has been budgeted for the purchase and
installation of parks equipment. Staff is proposing the purchase of two pieces of equipment -
one for Rayola Park and one for Elm Creek Park. Because of a change in the bidding process,
bids awarded by the City of Tulsa were utilized. John Phillips moved to approve the purchase
of two pieces of playground equipment from Aaron Fence Co at a cost of $9282, wood chips
for ground cover from Rex Playground Equipment at a cost of $1474, and $1130 for the
purchase of items for installation. Motion was seconded by Mayor Randolph.

MEMORANDUM
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
CITY OF OWASSO
FROM: RODNEY J RAY
CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR AMENDMENTS TO BUDGET
DATE: March 10, 1994
BACKGROUND:
Last summer members of the Owasso Public Golf Authority contacted state officials with the
Department of Transportation for the purpose of determining if there were funds available to
assist the Authority in the construction of a road providing access to the golf course. Subsequent
to that contact with the ODOT, the Authority was informed that there may be funds available,
but any appropriation would have to be made to the City in the same manner as the
appropriation for the road improvements for the Max Buchanan Company.
The golf authority could not afford to wait until state - appropriated funds were available to build
the entrance road. Therefore, the road was constructed using a joint agreement with Tulsa
County whereby the Authority paid for all of the material (gravel, asphalt, etc) and the County
provided the labor and equipment. Total cost of the road building material was $27,820.
Two weeks ago the City was contacted by the Oklahoma Department of Transportation and
informed that ODOT has allocated funds to reimburse the cost of the golf course entrance road
and that those funds would be added to the current ODOT grant of $40,000 for the Max
Buchanan access project, for a total grant of $67,860.
In order to accomplish the initial goal of the request to ODOT, the City would have to be
willing to accept the grant and then transfer the additional $27,860 to the Owasso Public Golf
Authority as intended by the ODOT. To accomplish that transfer and maintain a record of the
financial activities, the Council should take the following actions:
1. Increase the FY93 -94 estimate of revenues from grants by $27,860.
2. Approve a supplemental appropriation to the General Fund Economic Development
Department in the amount of $27,860.
3. Approve a transfer of funds from the City to the Golf Authority in the amount of
$27,860. (Note: This item will not be requested until the grant is actually received.)
Request for Amendments to Budget
March 10, 1994
Page 2
Even though the City did not initiate the request for funds from ODOT, the City staff has on
several occasions been involved in providing information to the State Department of
Transportation relating to the grant. The staff is now ready to request the final reimbursement
of ODOT funds for the Max Buchanan project (final acceptance of project is listed on this
agenda), and must include the reimbursement request for the road to the golf course in that
request as per instructions from the ODOT. In keeping with established procedure, and to
ensure a proper audit trail, budget amendments should be made prior to the acceptance of grant
funds.
The requested actions will not impact City finances in any way. However, the golf authority
will receive a reimbursement of $27,860 that can be used for improvements to the facility.
RECOMMENDATION:
The staff recommends Council approval of an amendment to the FY 1993 -94 budget by
increasing the General Fund Estimate of Revenues by $27,860 and supplementally appropriating
$27,860 to the Economic Development Department.

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
CITY OF OWASSO
FROM: RODNEY J RAY
CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM #11
DATE: March 14, 1994
In reviewing the bids submitted for the purchase of a 1993 Chevy Corsica, it has been
discovered that Classic Chevrolet is unable to provide warranty for a period of three years or
36,000 miles from the date of delivery as required in the bid specifications. The second low
bidder, Keystone Chevrolet has met that specification. Keystone's bid was $8.00 higher than
Classic's, and the vehicle meets all of the specifications. Therefore, the staff recommendation
will be to approve an expenditure of $8858 to Keystone Chevrolet and that payment of such
expenditure be authorized for the purchase of one 1993 Chevrolet Corsica, and that a
supplemental appropriation of $8850 be approved for the General Fund Managerial Department.
The vehicle will be available Tuesday evening for your inspection.
II MEMORANDUM
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
CITY OF OWASSO
FROM: RODNEY J RAY
CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: REQUEST TO PURCHASE VEHICLE
DATE: March 10, 1994
BACKGROUND:
On January 18, 1994, the City Council directed that the City Manager take action to purchase
an automobile. That direction came after the Council received information that the fire chief's
1989 Chevrolet would be transferred to the police department to replace a 1984 Plymouth with
more than 150,000 miles. Previous to that decision, the fire chiefs car was to have been
transferred to the City Manager upon receipt of the chief's new vehicle.
The staff has reviewed the resources available and determined that it would be in the best
interest of the City to purchase a smaller, program car that would not cost as much as a new
vehicle. Since the City currently owns two Chevrolet Corsicas, it was decided to seek another
of those models. Bid specifications were developed and sent to area vendors, as well as banking
institutions that often have repossessed vehicles for sale.
Bids were opened on March 9. Three bids were received and tabulated. In order of price, those
bids are listed below:
Rogers County Bank - $9400 on 1993 with 25,615 miles
Keystone Chevrolet - $8858 on 1993 with 27,437 miles
' Classic Chevrolet - $8,850 on 1993 with 23,205 miles
The city garage has inspected the two low bid vehicles and found them to meet the bid
t specifications and to be in satisfactory condition without any defects not usually associated with
vehicles of this mileage.

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
CITY OF OWASSO
FROM: RODNEY J RAY
CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION #9t 03 - SIGNALIZATION PROJECT FOR U.S. 169
AT 76TH ST NORTH
DATE: March 10, 1994
BACKGROUND:
Since May of 1985, the City of Owasso has been actively involved in seeking approval of a
Federal Department of Transportation local governmental aid project. The goal of the project
is to provide traffic control improvements to the intersection of U.S. 169 and 76th Street North.
On four previous occasions, the project has been delayed due to funding cuts or priority changes
by the state.
In May of 1993, the City once again petitioned the State Department of Transportation for
funding of the project. At that time the City was informed that the project would be funded as
a priority project with FY94 monies. The state requested new construction plans and promised
a 100% federally funded project if the construction plans were updated and submitted by October
1, 1993.
On June 8, 1993, the City Council approved a contract in the amount of $2000 for engineering
services with Traffic Engineering Consultants, Inc for the purpose of developing updated
construction plans for the project. The updated plans were submitted to ODOT on August 18,
1993. A plan review meeting was conducted in December 1993 and a decision to proceed with
the project was made at that time.
Two weeks ago the staff received notice from ODOT that the project had been approved for an
April contract award, but that the project had been reduced to a 75 % federal, 25 % local match
formula. Based on that formula and a total project cost of $150,000, the City share of the cost
would have been $37,500.
Since the City had not budgeted funds for the project, and because the original concept called
for a fully funded federal aid project, the staff requested a meeting with ODOT officials to
discuss the funding requirements. Last week the staff did meet with ODOT representatives and
Signalization Project
March 10, 1994
Page 2
were subsequently informed (on Friday, March 4) that the project had been restored to 100%
funding.
Subsequently, ODOT transmitted project agreement contracts for the City to review and
consider. The project agreement requires the City to maintain the signals and provide electricity
after they are installed (annual cost is estimated to be $600). While there are other requirements
for the City, they are related to standard ODOT policy and do not require any commitment of
funds.
The ODOT is required by the agreement to bid, award and construct the signalization project
at a cost of $150,000. Additionally, the ODOT is responsible for construction inspections and
a final acceptance inspection.
Resolution No 94 -03, if approved by the Council, will formalize the City's acceptance of the
project agreement and authorize the Mayor to execute the necessary documents. The ODOT
staff would like to place this project on the April contract "letting". In order to do that, the
project agreement must be returned no later than March 25. The staff has reviewed the
documents and submitted them to the City Attorney for his review.
PREVIOUS ACTIONS RELATING TO THIS ISSUE:
April 2, 1985 - Council passed Resolution #85 -11 requesting federal aid project
May 3, 1985 - Project added to transportation plan (INCOG)
September 16, 1985 - City Council employs Tuttle and Associates to prepare engineering
plans for project at a cost of $18,000
July 1986 - Engineer presents final plans to ODOT
August 6, 1986 - ODOT delays funding
March 21, 1989 - Council passes Resolution #89 -02 approving project agreement
October 1989 - ODOT delays funding due to priority
September 1990 - Staff requests project funds for FY91 -92 from ODOT
October 1990 - ODOT delays funding due to cutbacks
May 1993 - Council requests staff to place project as priority for City - request
made to ODOT for funding
January 1994 - Announcement made that funding for project is approved by ODOT
RECOMMENDATION:
The staff recommends Council approval of Resolution No 94 -03.
NOTE: If the agreement is approved, it is anticipated that construction will begin in July.

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
CITY OF OWASSO
FROM: RODNEY J RAY
CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF CONTRACT WITH TRAFFIC
ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS
DATE: June 4, 1993
BACKGROUND:
In 1985 the City Council employed an engineering firm (Jeff Tuttle Associates) to prepare a
design for traffic signalization of the U.S. 169 and 76th Street interchange. The Oklahoma
Department of Transportation had told the City that 100% federal grant funds were available to
construct the improvements if Owasso would provide the long term maintenance. The plans for
the project were completed in June of 1985 and forwarded to ODOT for review and submission
as a grant request. From June 1985 to April of 1987 there apparently was no follow up on the
request or plans. In June of 1981, the City requested a status of the project and was informed
that the plans needed to be updated as per the ODOT review comments. The City again
contracted with Tuttle and Associates to update the plans and, after completing the update,
submitted them to ODOT. In November of 1987 the City staff met with ODOT for a "Plan-in-
Hand", on -site review. After that meeting the City was notified that the project would be placed
on the April 1988 bid letting. In March of 1988, the City requested a status report and was told
that funds were "short" and that the project would not be on April's bid list, and that the project
would be eligible again after October 1988. In December of 1988 the City was told that funds
still were not available and that we would have to wait until the project became a priority. Then
in 1989 the ODOT decided to signalize the 86th & U.S. 169 interchange as a higher priority
project. That project was completed in 89 -90 and attempts since then to get the 76th Street
project back "on track" have met with little success. In late 1992 and early 1993, the project
was discussed with Senator Cullison by Mayor Randolph.
Last week the staff was asked to meet with ODOT officials for the purpose of discussing the
project. The ODOT representatives indicated that they wanted to do the 76th Street signalization
project and that, if Owasso could update the plans to meet current ODOT standards in time to
meet the October 1993 fiscal year end, they believed there would be enough money to fund the
project. They also said that after October 1993 Governor Walters intended to remove the 100%
grant funds and replace them with 30% grant funds for these projects.
Memorandum
' Request for Approval of Contract
with Traffic Engineering Consultants
June 4, 1993
' Page 2
The staff sought input from various sources regarding which engineering firm could put together
an update of the plans so they would meet ODOT criteria on the first review. Quick, accurate
plans are vital to the success of our October approval. After a review of firms currently doing
ODOT projects, the staff selected Traffic Engineering Consultants Inc as the firm best qualified
' to quickly update and present our project to ODOT. In checking with ODOT, we have
confirmed the firm's reliability and their familiarity with ODOT standards.
At that point, the staff requested that "TEC" prepare a price estimate and contract for the
update, and further provide a time frame for completing the project and submitting it to ODOT.
The firm developed a contract, set a price of $2000 for the work, and confirmed that the updated
' plans could be submitted to ODOT by August 15, 1993.
' The staff believes the City should take the opportunity to get this project on the grant list and
on the ODOT bid list. Please note that there is still a question as to the availability of funds,
but it is the consensus of opinion that this is our best shot to get the project under way. Also
note that, even in the event the October bid letting was not accomplished, the City still has one
other option available for 80 -20 (80 federal -20 local) money under another program because 76th
Street is actually on the state highway system from U.S. 169 west to Main Street. Therefore,
' the update of the construction plans will not be wasted.
' RECOMMENDATION:
The staff recommends Council approval of a contract between the City of Owasso and Traffic
' Engineering Consultants Inc in the amount of $2000 for the purpose of updating plans for
signalization of 76th Street and U.S. 169.

I MEMORANDUM
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
CITY OF OWASSO
FROM: RODNEY J RAY
CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION TO PARTICIPATE IN
DEVELOPMENT OF CABLE TELEVISION CONSORTIUM
DATE: March 10, 1994
BACKGROUND:
During the past several months the staff has participated in a series of meetings, seminars and
discussions relating to cable television issues. These meetings were the result of a concern on
the part of area city managers that individually we may not have the expertise and resources to
fully understand and implement the options available under the 1992 Cable Television Consumer
Protection Act. While that legislation did provide for re- regulation of some areas of cable
television, it was written and designed to be a very complex process. Over the past six months,
it has become clear to all of the cities involved in the meetings that the chances and degree of
success in our dealings with the cable company will be enhanced if we join together in a
consortium. By joining forces to develop an area -wide strategy (plan), then using the combined
"clout" of our joint customer base to leverage our rate and service demands, the consortium can
have a positive effect for our citizens.
The group has requested that each city to consider their interest in such a consortium and, if
interested, act to appoint a representative to work with the other cities in developing a concept
that would then be brought back to each city council for further consideration. The
representatives will be charged with the task of formalizing a document that, if approved by the
individual cities, would create a consortium authorized to initiate certain actions on behalf of the
cities.
It should be noted that the action requested at this time does not commit the City of Owasso to
any financial expenditures. Neither does it commit the City to become a part of a consortium.
This action, if approved, will simply authorize the City Manager to represent the City in the
development of the consortium concept, then report to the Council. The group is not expected
to complete its work until June and should have a report for the various councils at that time.
Cable Television Consortium
March 10, 1994
Page 2
REQUEST:
This request is for Council approval for city staff to participate with other area cities (Jenks,
Glenpool, Sapulpa, Sand Springs, Skiatook, Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Coweta, Bixby, and Tulsa
County) in the development of a concept relating to the creation of a consortium to deal with
cable television issues. It is further requested that the City Manager be authorized to represent
the City in development of that concept.
FUNDING:
The request contains no request for funds. No expenditure from existing appropriations or
budget is requested.
PREVIOUS ACTIONS RELATING TO THIS ISSUE:
May 12, 1993 - City Attorney authorized to review and evaluate 1992 Cable TV Act.
August 17, 1993 - Council authorized staff /attorney to file notice with FCC of Owasso's
intent to regulate cable television activities.
January 18, 1994 - Council adopted Ordinance #477 defining a cable television regulation
process and authorized the City Attorney to file notice with TCI of such
ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION•
The staff recommends Council approval for the City of Owasso to participate in the development
of a cable television consortium concept, and that the City Manager be authorized to represent
the City in that endeavor.

MEMORANDUM
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
CITY OF OWASSO
FROM: RODNEY J RAY
CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE #477 REGULATING CABLE TELEVISION
DATE: January 13, 1994
BACKGROUND
On August 17, 1993, the City Council authorized the staff to file the necessary documents
declaring the City's intent to regulate cable television activities as provided for by the "Cable
Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 ". Additionally, on that same date
the Mayor was authorized to execute a notice to Owasso's cable provider (TCI Cable) relating
to that intended regulation. Those actions by the staff and Mayor have been implemented,
thereby meeting the first steps required by the FCC if a city is to be empowered to regulate
cable rates.
Since that time, the staff has concentrated on a review of the FCC rules that must be followed
in order to implement the actual regulation. Additionally, a review of the methods of that
regulation was undertaken by the staff, working with other area cities. Those reviews and
research by Mr Cates indicated that an ordinance was the best method for developing a
�` regulation process. For the past several months Mr Cates has worked as the City's coordinator
for these activities and has now completed an ordinance that establishes a well defined regulation
process for cable television. Adoption of this ordinance is critical to our ability to implement
cable television regulation. If passed, Ordinance #477 would allow the City to begin the process
of regulating cable television rates in the "basic tier" of service.
Mr Cates has provided a more detailed explanation of the ordinance in a memorandum attached
for your review. If you have questions after reviewing that memorandum and the attached
ordinance, please call Mr Cates (582 -7447) or me. Please note that the staff has requested the
attachment of an "Emergency Clause" to Ordinance #477. This request is due to a requirement
that TCI be notified prior to January 31, 1994 that a process is in place and regulation of their
service will be implemented. Also, it should be noted that in addition to limited rate regulation,
the ordinance provides for the establishment of "service standards ". It is the staff opinion that
this area of regulation could prove to be the most important at this time.

MEMO
TO: The Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council and
Rodney J. Ray, City Manager
FROM: Ronald D. Cates, City Attorney
RE: Owasso Basic Cable Television Service Rate Regulation
Ordinance
DATE: January 12, 1994
Presented for the Council's consideration is a proposed Basic
Cable Television Service Rate Regulation Ordinance. As you will
recall, under the Cable Television and Consumer Protection Act of
1992, as amended, as well as Federal Communication Commission
Regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, a regulating
municipality, obtaining certification for rate regulation, is
required within 120 days of such certification to adopt rate
regulation procedures. The submitted Owasso Basic Television
Service Rate Regulation Ordinance accomplishes such task.
Essentially, the proposed ordinance provides for the
following, to -wit:
1) Definitions;
2) Initial Review of basic cable service rates;
3) Review of requests for increase in basic cable service
rates;
4) Cable operator information;
5) Automatic Rate Adjustments; and,
6) Enforcement.
Contained within the above outlined categories are provisions for
notification to the cable operator, submission by the cable
operator to the City Council for approval of a requested rate,
provisions for public hearing, provisions for Council consideration
and determination as well as provisions for cable operator appeal
to the Federal Communications Commission. These provisions are
applicable both to the initial basic cable service rate as well as
any subsequent rate adjustments.
The proposed ordinance contains an emergency clause seeking
it's effectiveness immediately upon adoption of such by the
Council. The emergency clause adoption is requested due to the
fact it is necessary that this ordinance be adopted prior to the
31st day of January, 1994. I apologize for the necessary expedited
consideration of the ordinance; however, municipal attorneys in
the Tulsa metropolitan area had determined that in order to avoid
incurrence of thousands of dollars of costs on the part of our
clients in creation of a cable rate regulation ordinance, it would
be better to await the creation of a prototype cable rate
regulation ordinance by the National Institute of Municipal
Officers (NIMLO) which could then be readily utilized by the rate

THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL

CITY MANAGER
REQUEST FOR COUNCIL
TELEVISION REGULATION
August 12, 1993
CONSIDERATION OF CABLE
Several months ago I requested that our attorney undertake to become familiar with, and provide
staff direction, for any actions the City may wish to take utilizing the provisions of the Cable
Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992. Pursuant to that request, Mr
Cates has attended training sessions and conducted research relative to that subject.
Based upon his research, Mr Cates has presented the attached memorandum wherein he
recommends certain actions be taken by the Council in order to preserve its rights to regulate
cable television. At his request, and after reviewing his findings, I listed an agenda item for
your consideration that, if approved, would start the process of re- regulating some of the cable
services. Mr Cates' memorandum is attached for your review and clearly outlines the issues
relevant to the discussion of regulation. I concur with both the findings, conclusions,
observations and recommendation of Mr Cates and urge the Council to carefully review the
memorandum.
RECOMMENDATION:
The staff recommends that the Council declare its intent to provide regulation of cable television
as provided by the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992, and that
the Mayor be authorized to execute FCC Form 328; and that the Mayor be authorized to execute
a notice to cable operator under FCC rules on customer standards.

(2) For a variety of reasons, including local
franchising requirements and the extraordinary expense of
constructing more than one cable television system to serve
a particular geographic area, most cable television
subscribers have no opportunity to select between competing
cable systems. Without the presence of another multichannel
video programming distributor, a cable system faces no local
competition. The result is undue market power for the cable
operator_ as compared to that of consumers and video
prog ranuners .
(20) The Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984, in its
amendments to the Communications Act of 1934, limited the
regulatory authority of franchising authorities over cable
operators. Franchising authorities are finding it difficult
under the current regulatory scheme to deny renewals to cable
systems that are not adequately serving cable subscribers.
As a result of the foregoing, Congress adopted the Cable Act of
1992, which, in part, at Section 3 thereof provides for regulation
of .rates and at Section 8 thereof provides for consumer protection
and customer service provisions.
I.
RATE REGULATION
As provided under the Cable Act of 1992, as well as FCC
regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, local jurisdictions may
exercise .rate regulation over cable systems which are not subject
to effective competition. Expressed another way, a cable system
which is subject to effective competition is exempt from rate
regulation. A cable system which is subject to effective
competition is one of the following, to -wit:
a) An operator that serves less than thirty percent (300) of
the households in the operating territory;
I b) Comparable multi - channel video service provider which
offers service to at least fifty percent (50 %) of households in
franchise territory and fifteen percent (15 %) of households
subscribe to such service; or,
c) The franchising authority offers service to fifty percent
(50%) of the households.
Assuming{ that the municipality is anticipating rate regulation of
a cable system deemed by it not to be subject to effective
competition, the .local jurisdiction, as provided under the Cable
Act of 1992, and FCC regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, is
limited to regulating basic tier rates and associated equipment.
The 1992 Cable Act divides cable services into three (3)
2
operator is not subject to effective competition based upon the
franchising authorities filing of certification with the FCC.
Further, the FCC will not notify the franchising authority that
it's certification has become effective. Accordingly, absent a
challenge to local certification, thirty (30) days from the date
on the return receipt, the locality can assume it's certification
as being approved unless otherwise advised.
II
CONSUMER PROTECTION AND CUSTOMER SERVICE
Under the provisions of Section 8 of the Cable Act of 1992,
a franchising authority may establish and enforce customer service
requirements of the cable operator and construction schedules and
other construction related requirements, including construction
related performance requirements of *the cable operator. Section
8 of the Cable Act of 1992 directs that the Commission shall,
within 180 days of enactment of the Cable Television Consumer
Protection and Competition Act of 1992 establish standards by which
cable operators may fulfill their customer service requirements.
Such standards must include, at a minimum, requirements governing
cable system officer_ hours and telephone availability,
installations, outages and service calls and communications between
the cable operator and subscriber (including standards governing
bills and ref_unds). The FCC, to date has promulgated customer
service standards pertaining to the following, to -wit: (1)
Service unbundling, (2) billing itemization, (3) negative billing
prohibited, (4) tier buy through prohibition, (5) uniform rate
structure, (6) hours of operation and telephone availability, (7)
speed of service requirements, (8) appointment windows, (9) notice
of service and rate changes, annual notice, (10) billing and
refunds. Further, the FCC has stated that a local franchising
authority may enforce the provisions of .items six through ten by
q_iv_inq notice to the cable provider not less than ninety (90) days
prior to the intended date of enforcement. It is important to
note, at this juncture, that Section 8 of the Cable Act of 1992
specifically states that "nothing in this section shall be
construed to preclude a franchising authority and a cable operator
from agreeing to customer service requirements that exceed the
standards established by the Commission. Further, nothing in the
Act should be construed to prevent the establishment or enforcement
of any municipal law or regulation... concerning customer service
that imposes customer service requirements that exceed the
standards set by the Commission or that addresses matters not
addressed by the standards set by the Commission under this
Section ". Accordingly, the local franchising authority, ninety
(90) days subsequent to written notification of intent to regulate,
may enforce the FCC customer ser,'ice standards as well as may
impose customer service standards in addition thereto which are not
specifically preempted by federal law.

and needs on the part of it's customers. It is opined that such,
although presenting an opportunity for skirmishes, nevertheless,
has the ultimate potential of establishing understanding and
' acceptance which fosters provider - subscriber satisfaction.
It is submitted that due to the monopolistic nature of cable
television, a legitimate expectation of regulation is possessed on
' the part of the public. I would submit that evidence of the
existence of such expectation already exists by virtue of the input
the municipality has received during the cable franchise renewal
process. I submit that the citizenry of Owasso, Oklahoma; has in
the past, expressed surprise over the absence of regulatory
authority arising by virtue of the Cable Communications Policy Act
of 1.984, due to the citizenry's perceived regulatory power pursuant
to the franchising authority possessed under the Constitution of
the State of Oklahoma.
' T am of t-he opinion that if the City of Owasso, Oklahoma,
defers regulation to the FCC, the impact locally will be
.inattentiveness to local concerns. This position is predicated
foremost by the fact that the FCC lobbied against passage of the
CahLe Act of 1.992. Additionally, the FCC, by virtue of requested
comments during proposed rule making has evidenced an attitude of
' encouragement of local regulation. It has been opined that
although the Clinton administration may encourage a more consumer
oriented approach the FCC, in recent years, probably due to the
Reagan -Rush era of deregulation of private enterprise, has been
' known more for attempting to deregulate than regulate industry.
Finally, in a general sense, recognition of the fact that the FCC
is not only geographically, but most likely attitudnally, far
' removed from the concerns of the citizens of the City of Owasso,
Oklahoma, it is submitted that deferment to the FCC, will in all
I[keli. hood result in a continuation of "business as usual ".
Based upon the foregoing I submit that a recommendation to the
City Council of the City of Owasso, Oklahoma, to avail itself of
the regulatory powers arising by virtue of the Cable Television
Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 should be made.
In conjunction therewith, authorization should be sought from the
Council to enable the Mayor to execute FCC Form 328 - Certification
of Frarichising Authority to Regulate Basic Cable Service Rates and
initial Finding of Lack of F.f.fective Competition. Finally,
should be sought from the City Council authorizing
the Mayor to execute the [notice to Cable Operator under FCC rules
on customer service standards. For your convenience, I have
propar.ed such documents and enclose them herewith.
' If the City Council of the City of Owasso, Oklahoma,
, let erm o ities t avail itself of the regulatory abilities provided by
the Cable Act. of 1992, in addition to the foregoing, I recommend
Uiat- we -immediately embark upon the establishment, for Council
approval, of regulations with respect to rate regulation

Dear Mr. Comfort:
OWASSO, OKLAHOMA
74055
On April 7, 1993, the Federal Communications Commission
released a Deport and Order adopting a new rule (47 C.F.R. Section
76.309) implementing Section 8 of the Cable Television Consumer
Protection and Competition Act of 1992; that section governs the
establishment, implementation and enforcement of customer service
standards for cable operat..ors nat=ionwide. A copy of the new rule
is enclosed.
Paragraph (c.:) of the new rule establishes federal customer
service standards ("federal standards "). Paragraph (a) of the new
r.ul.e provides that a franchising authority may enforce the federal
standards, but in order to do so, the franchising authority must
provide affected cable operators 90 days' written notice of it's
intent to enforce the standards. This letter constitutes the City
of Owasso's not: ice of its intent to enforce the federal standards.
The City intends to begin enforcing the federal standards on
November 11, 1993.
Paragraph (b) of the new rule reserves to franchising
authorities, among other things, rights to establish and /or enforce
state and local customer service requirements that exceed or are
not covered Ly the federal standards. The City of Owasso,
Oklahoma, reserves and intends to exercise all rights reserved to
franchis.inq authorities.
Sincerely,
