BACKGROUND: As a matter of courtesy, on March 4, 1991, Mr. Bill Petersen, General Manager for Continental Cablevision, hand -delivered a letter advising the City of the Company's intent to increase cable installation rates. Effective at the end of March, the previous one-time installation rate of $19.95 will be increased to $29.95. Rate increases are permitted by the Cable Communication Policy Act of 1984. This act also precludes local agency rate regulation. It should be noted, however, that this specific rate increase does not affect any existing cable television subscribers and will only be charged to new customers. A copy of the letter received is attached for your review.
