resolved amicably within a reasonable time, but said she would be hopeful, and vote to support <br />the resolution. She hoped the council's vote demonstrated its willingness to work with AT&T in <br />good faith on the issues outlined in the letter. <br /> <br />Ms. Nathanson noted that Attachment A, the letter of agreement, indicated the parties would meet <br />within 120 days and resolve the identified issues within six months; she asked when the "clock <br />started ticking" on the six months' time period. Ms. Berrian said that she believed it was six <br />months from the date of the agreement. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman said she would support the resolution, pointing out that the unresolved issues related <br />to the franchise agreement would be the same with or without the transfer. The City was not <br />diminishing its position by passage the resolution. She did not think the other options available <br />were very attractive, and hoped the agreement was strong enough to ensure that the City's <br />position was not diminished. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly expressed appreciation to Ms. Nathanson for the distinction she drew between AT&T and <br />other retailers. He proposed a change to page 2 of the resolution, suggesting that Finding I be <br />modified as follows: "The Franchisee and Franchising Authority have, in a separate agreement, <br />attached as Exhibit A, noted the existence of certain identified issues..." There was general <br />concurrence. <br /> <br /> Mr. Kelly, seconded by Mr. PapS, moved to approve Rcsolmion 4720 consenting <br /> to change in control of TCI Cablevision of Oregon, Inc. from AT&T to AT&T <br /> Comcast. <br /> <br />Mr. Rayor supported the motion. He agreed with the assessments of Ms. Nathanson and Ms. <br />Bettman. He thought the solution proposed by staff workable, and thanked staff and Mr. Inouye. <br /> <br />Mr. Farr commended Ms. Berrian for her work. <br /> <br />Mr. Meisner supported the resolution and endorsed the change made to the resolution. He <br />pointed out that the franchise agreement with AT&T did not bar other entrants to the market. <br /> <br /> The motion passed unanimously, 8:0. <br /> <br />C.WORK SESSION: Police Forensic Evidence/Property Control Building Alternatives <br /> <br />Mr. Carlson stated that the decision before the council was whether to build a new facility for the <br />Police Forensics Evidence/Property Control Unit (FEU/PUC) at the Roosevelt site, or convert <br />privately leased space for the purpose. He reminded the council that the action before it had <br />been identified in the council goals. A facility reserve that was sufficient to fund any of the options <br />had been set aside. Mr. Carlson said the staff recommendation fit the council's direction through <br />the Downtown Space Plan that City facilities should be owned rather than leased. He said that <br />the recommendation for a two-stow structure represented a more efficient use of the land and <br />protected more of the Public Works Maintenance site for future use by that division. Mr. Carlson <br />further noted the recommendation for a construction manager/general contractor approach to <br />speed the time line. He said that staff had employed Jack Barry, a private architect, to review the <br />cost estimates and programming.
