Item Summary:
This is a special revenue fund that accounts for cable franchise fees which are used for public, educational, and
government (PEG) access purposes consistent with state and federal law. In the past, these PEG funds were
collected and resided in the General Fund. In accordance with SB 1087, the City transferred the $861,997 in fees it
had received as outlined in Section 66.006 (c), Utilities Code before September 1, 2011 that had not been disbursed
to a separate account. The City maintains the revenues received in a separate account established for that purpose,
and does not spend revenue from the fees except directly from the separate account.
s
Any entity or person seeking to provide cable services or video service is required to file for a state-issued franchise
r
authority. Franchises operating within the City are required to pay 1%of gross revenues for PEG purposes.
The 2012-13 Public Educational Access Fund budget provides revenues associated with the collected franchise fees
and $250,000 in capital expenditures. Among the capital purchases to be funded are Video Storage Area Network
solutions, broadcast weather equipment,video production equipment, and video related software.
Cost: None—Budget Adoption only
Recommended Action: Approval
