IN THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROANOKE, VIRGINIA,
The 4th day of August, 2003.
No. 36443-080403.
A RESOLUTION supporting Virginia's public school students and urging the
General Assembly to provide additional State dollars to fully fund the actual costs
of the Standards of Quality and the legislative guidelines for higher education
funding.
WHEREAS, many students in Virginia's public schools are at risk o~ not
learning what is required to earn a high school diploma, enroll in a college or
university or enter the job market, and even the successful students who graduate
are affected by schools struggling to provide the level of educational quality they
need and deserve;
WHEREAS, teachers often find they do not have the tools or training
necessary to teach the subjects mandated for achievement of state standards and
teachers' salaries and the uncertain state support of salaries does not provide the
kind of incentives that attract and keep the most talented professionals;
WHEREAS, state funding for public education does not reflect the true cost
of constructing, staffing, equipping, operating and maintaining schools that perform
at the level needed to support the foundation for standards of quality and learning,
and the costs of educating at-risk students create additional fiscal pressures on
many school systems;
WHEREAS, not only are students being left behind, taxpayers are seeing the
increasing burden of higher local real estate tax rates as local governments try to
pay both their share and the state's share of education costs, and, when Virginia's
students plan for higher education, they face additional challenges because
legislative reports also have verified that appropriate levels of funding have not been
achieved for higher education, and one of the worst results of reduced funding for
college students is that so many qualified Virginia students are denied admission
because the faculty, buildings, and equipment are simply not there to accommodate
them; and
WHEREAS, the effects of being left behind without a high school diploma or
a college degree, especially for an at-risk student, are compelling. A Virginian who
has a high school diploma earns a lot more than one who does not. A degree from
a community college means more, and a four-year college degree means even more.
Education literally pays, in addition to its other quality-of-life benefits.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Roanoke as
follows:,
1. This Council urges the General Assembly to provide additional State
dollars to fully fund the actual costs of the Standards of Quality and the legislative
guidelines for .higher education funding. These actions are essential if our
elementary, middle and high schools, community colleges and four-year colleges
and universities are to meet the following goals:
Smaller classes in schools and colleges where teachers and faculty
can provide students the individual attention they need to learn and
graduate on time;
Sufficient numbers of well-qualified teachers and faculty to give every
student the opportunity to graduate from high school and to have
access to higher education and opportunities for training and skill
development;
Competitive salaries to attract and keep well-qualified teachers and
faculty to help students learn;
Modern, safe classrooms, laboratories, technology and equipment to
provide the environment in which students learn best; and
Accountability and performance measurement at all levels for students,
teachers, faculty, administrators and others responsible for helping
students learn.

2. The City Clerk is directed to forward attested copies of this
resolution to The Honorable John S. Edwards, Member, Senate of Virginia, The
Honorable A. Victor Thomas, and the Honorable Clifton A.Woodrum, III, Members,

or on an unsolicited basis. The City, upon receipt of an unsolicited application,
may issue an RFP or IFB. If the City elects to issue an RFP or IFB upon receipt of
an unsolicited application, the applicant may submit an amended application in
response to the RFP or IFB, or may inform the City that its unsolicited .a. pplicati.o.n
should be considered in response to the RFP or IFB, or may w,thdraw ,ts
unso. licited application. An application .which does not conform to the
requ,rements of an RFP or IFB may be considered non-responsive and denied on
that basis. The applicant shall respond within the time directed by the City,
providing the information and material set forth in subsection 4(d). The
procedures, instructions, and requirements set forth in the RFP or IFB shall be
followed by each applicant as if set forth and required herein. The City or its
designee may seek additional information from any applicant and establish
deadlines for the submission of such information.
(2) In evaluating an application for a Franchise, the City may consider,
among other things, the following factors:

applicable law and the material terms of any existing cable Franchise in the
City, County or Town.
123
(B) Whether the quality of the applicant's service under any existing
Franchise in the City, County, or Town including signal quality,
responsiveness to customer complaints, billing practices, and the like, has
been reasonable in light of the needs and interests of the communities
served.
(C) Whether the applicant has the financial, technical, and legal
qualifications to build, operate and maintain the System and provide the
Cable Service it proposes.

established by the City and is otherwise reasonable to meet the future
cable-related needs and interests of the community, taking into account the
cost of meeting such needs and interests.
(E) Whether the applicant proposes to provide adequate PEG Access
channel capacity, facilities, or financial support.
(F) Whether issuance of a Franchise is warranted in the public interest
considering the immediate and future effect on the Streets and private and
public property that would be used by the Cable System, including the
extent to which installation or maintenance as planned would require
replacement of Streets or property or involve disruption of property, public
services, or use of the Streets and the comparative superiority or inferiority
of competing applications.
(G) Whether the applicant or an affiliate of the applicant owns or controls
any other Cable System in the City, or whether the granting of the
application may eliminate or reduce competition in the delivery of Cable
Service in the City.
(3) If the City finds that it is in the public interest to issue a Franchise
considering the factors set forth above, and subject to the applicant's entry into
an appropriate franchise agreement with City, it shall grant a Franchise to the
applicant. If the City denies a Franchise, it will issue a written decision explaining
why the Franchise was denied. Prior to deciding whether or not to issue a
Franchise, the City m ay hold one or more public hearings or implement other
procedures under which comments from the public on an application may be
124
received. The City also may grant or deny a request for a Franchise based on its
review of an application without further proceedings and may reject any
application that is incomplete or fails to respond to an RFP or IFB. The City also
reserves the right to reject all responses to an RFP or iFB. This Ordinance is not
intended and shall not be interpreted to grant any applicant or existing
Franchisee standing to challenge the issuance of a franchise to another.
(c) Application for Grant of a Renewal Franchise.
The Cable Act (47 U.S.C. 4546) shall apply to applications for renewal of an
existing Franchise. if neither a Franchisee nor the City initiates the renewal

proces, s set forth in 47 U.S.C. § 546(a)-(g) (including, for example, if the

renewal request shall be evaluated using the same criteria as any other request
for a Franchise.

preceding quarter and such other information as the City shall reasonably
request with respect to the Franchisee's service within the City.
(b) The City shall have the right to verify by an audit conducted by an
independent auditor of its own choosing, that a Franchisee has paid the correct

reporting of its Gross Revenues for the audit period has been understated by
three percent (3%) or more, said Franchisee shall compensate the City for its
reasonable audit expenses. The Franchisee shall grant the City or its auditors
access to all relevant documents, records and information relevant to
determining whether the Franchisee has paid the correct Franchise Fee.

within the City by t he Franchisee and to all other records required to be kept
hereunder. The City may review, copy, and audit any such records, documents or
electronic data.
Section 19. Franchise Revocation.
(a) Whenever any Franchisee shall refuse, neglect or willfully fail to
construct, operate or maintain its Cable System or to provide Cable Service to its
Subscribers in substantial accordance with the terms of this Ordinance or any
applicable rule or regulation, or materially breaches its Franchise Agreement, or
materially violates this Ordinance or other law, ordinance, resolution, rule, or
regulation, or practices any fraud or deceit upon the City or its Subscribers within
the City, or fails to pay Franchise Fees, or if such Franchisee becomes insolvent,
as adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, or is unwilling or unable to pay
its uncontested debts, or is adjudged bankrupt, or seeks relief under the
bankruptcy laws of the United States or any state, then the Franchise may be
revoked.
(b) In the event the City believes that grounds for revocation exist or have
existed, it may notify the affected Franchisee in writing, setting forth the facts on
which such belief is grounded. If, within thirty (30) days following such written
notification, the Franchisee has not furnished reasonably satisfactory evidence to
the City that corrective action has been taken or is being actively and
expeditiously pursued to completion, or that the alleged violations did not occur,
or that the alleged violations were beyond the Franchisee's control, the City may
call and give notice of a hearing, pursuant to the hearing requirements set forth in
Section 20 of this Ordinance to consider revocation of the Franchisee's
Franchise. If the City, following such hearing, finds that grounds for revocation
exist, the Council may by resolution or ordinance duly adopted revoke for cause
the Franchise granted to such Franchisee.
(c) In the event that the Franchise has been revoked, the City shall, to
the extent then permitted by existing law, have the option to:
148
(i) acquire, at fair market value excluding any value attributable to the
Franchise itself, all the assets of the Franchisee's System located within the City;
or
(ii) require the sale, at fair market value excluding any value attributable
to the Franchise itself, of all such assets of the Franchisee's System to another
person; or
(iii) require the removal of all such assets from the City, at Franchisee's
sole expense (or, if Franchisee fails to do so, the City may remove those assets at
Franchise's sole expense); or
(iv) if such assets are .aban.d. oned or deemed abandoned under
applicable law, succeed to ownersh,p or t,tle thereof.
Unless some later date is agreed to by the Franchisee, such option must be
exercised by the City within one (1) year from the date of the revocation of the
Franchise, or the entry of the final judgment by a court reviewing the question of
the revocation, or the entry of a final order upon appeal of same, whichever is
later. In any Franchise revocation proceeding, if the City and a Franchisee cannot
agree upon the fair market value excluding any value attributable to the Franchise
itself of the Franchisee's assets located within the City then the City and the
Franchisee shall each at their own cost select a different independent appraiser
(each of whom shall be an active member of and be certified by the Appraisal
Institute or its successor) who shall each provide an appraisal of the value at
issue. If the greater appraised value does not exceed the lesser appraised value
by more than ten percent (10%) of such lesser value, then the two appraised
values shall be averaged and the resultant value shall be binding upon the City
and the Franchisee; if the greater appraised value exceeds the lesser appraised
value by more than ten percent (10%), then the two previously chosen appraisers
shall together choose a third independent appraiser, who shall have no
knowledge of the prior appraised values, and who shall provide an appraisal of
the value, which shall be binding upon the City and the Franchisee. Any
valuation determined in accordance with the immediately foregoing procedures
shall conclusively be deemed as an equitable price, as specified at 47 U.S.C. §
547.
149
(d) The revocation of a Franchisee's rights as set forth herein shall in no
way affect any other rights the City may have under the Franchise with such
Franchisee or under this Ordinance or any other provision of law or ordinance.
Notwithstanding the pendency or culmination of any proceedings terminating a
Franchise, the City may nonetheless by Council action extend for a period of not
more than two (2) years beyond the proposed or actual date of termination the
entitlement of the affected Franchisee to operate the Cable System, during which
period all provisions of this Ordinance and the applicable Franchise Agreement
shall govern such operations.
Section 20. Hearin.q Requirements for Matters AffectinR Franchises.
Whenever a requirement is set forth herein for a public hearing or m~eting
to be called concerning any matter related to the evaluation, modification,
renewal, revocation or termination of any Franchise issued pursuant to this
Ordinance, such hearing or meeting shall not be held unless, in addition to any
applicable notice requirements of Virginia law, the City shall have advised the
Franchisee in writing, at least thirty (30) days prior to such hearing or meeting,
and provided notice to the public as required by law. In addition, the City may
require the affected Franchisee to, and when so required the Franchisee shall,
give notice of such hearing, and any continuation thereof, by announcement on
its Cable System in such manner, on such channels and at such times as both
parties shall find to be reasonable under the circumstances. Any such hearing
may be adjourned from time to time as legally permitted without further notice
other than the announcement, at the time of adjournment, of the time and place of
the continued hearing and such announcement, if any, as the City may require
the Franchisee to make on its Cable System.
Section 21. Costs.
The City may require that each applicant for an initial, renewal, modification
or transfer of a Franchise compensate the City for its direct, out of pocket costs
incurred in the award of a Franchise hereunder, including the City's expenses
incurred for special counsel or consultants retained to assist it in such award. A
bill for such costs as are then determinable may be presented to the Franchisee
by the City upon the franchisee's filing of its acceptance of a Franchise
hereunder, and if so presented shall be paid at that time, and such additional
costs as are determined as payable by the City shall thereafter be paid within
fourteen (14) days of presentment to the Franchisee.
150
Section 22. Open Video System Operation.
In the event that any person shall obtain certification from the FCC as an
Open Video System ("OVS") operator and thereafter offer or continue to provide
service within the City as an OVS operator, then all portions of this Ordinance
which are, or may lawfully be, applicable under governing statute or regulation to
OVS operators, including payment of required fees, which may otherwise be
imposed upon cable television operators (including, without limitation, franchise
fees), shall apply without interruption or abatement to such person except to the
extent expressly prohibited by law or regulation.
Section 23. Severability.
(a) All terms a nd conditions o f t his 0 rdinance a nd a ny Franchise a rs
subject to the rules and regulations of, and to any required approval of, federal
and state agencies. If any provision of this Ordinance or any Franchise granted
hereunder is held by any court or federal or state agency of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid as conflicting with any federal or state law, rule or
regulation now or hereafter to become in effect, or is held by such court or
agency to be modified in any way in order to conform to the requirement of any
such law, rule or regulation, such provision shall be considered a separate,
distinct and independent part of this Ordinance or the Franchise, and such
holding shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other provisions of
this Ordinance or the Franchise.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any part of this Ordinance or any
Franchise is found to be invalid by the FCC or any court of competent
jurisdiction, then the parties shall renegotiate such part to preserve, to the extent
permitted by law, the benefit of the parties' original bargain. In the event that
such law, rule or regulation is subsequently repealed, rescinded, amended or
otherwise changed, so that the provision hereof which had been held invalid or
modified is no longer in conflict with the law, rules, and regulations then in effect,
said provision shall thereupon return immediately to full force and effect, at the
option of the City.

Ordinance unless such grant or renewal be approved by the Council and, within

Ordinance and accepts and executes the Franchise, files such acknowledgement,
acceptance and agreement with the City, and provides payment of all sums due
hereunder and submits all documentation required hereunder.

rules and regulations.
