Warren Wong, Finance Division, presented the staff report. He said the initial franchise agreement was approved by the council in December 1985. He said the ordinance before council represents modifications to the original agreement that have been mutually agreed to by the staff and AT&T. Mr. Wong said the ordinance extends the franchise another 15 years and provides for a $1 per lineal foot rate for use of the City's public right-of-way. This will result in approximately $20,000 to $25,000 in revenue for the General Fund. Mr. Bennett asked why the rate is not indexed to inflation. Mr. Wong said there are varying methods of determining how much to charge the franchise company. He said $1 per lineal foot is the common method used. He said both sides have an option to reopen the agreement every three years. - MINUTES--Eugene City Council March 14, 1988 Page 11
