CONSIDER AMENDING TOWN COUNCIL/REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MEETING
SCHEDULE'OR 1999-2000 FISCAL YEAR SETTING A STUDY SESSION ON APRIL 24,
2000 TO MEET WITH THE KCAT BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SETTING MATTER
FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION FOR MAY 15, 2000
RECOMMENDATION:
Consider amending Town Council/Redevelopment Agency Meeting Schedule for 1999-2000 Fiscal Year setting a study
session on April 24, 2000 to meet with the KCAT Board of Directors and setting matter for Council consideration for
May 15, 2000.
BACKGROUND:
In September 1999 a dispute arose whereby the Town asserted that AT&T Cable Services was prohibited by the
Franchise Assumption Agreement from relocating KCAT to cable channel 15. The Town along with the City of
Saratoga initiated a court action entitled Town of Los Gatos and City of Saratoga v. Telecommunications ("TCI') of
Cleveland, Inc., et al.
On February 23, 2000, the Town reached a settlement of its dispute with AT&T Cable Services. Among other
provisions, the settlement agreement provided that the Town receive a $95,000 payment from AT&T, which the Town
has now received. Concurrent with the AT&T settlement, the Town entered into an agreement with KCAT whereby
the $95,000 received from AT&T would be used to enhance telecommunications services in the Town. The Town's
agreement with KCAT further provided that the Town Council and the KCAT Board of Directors would meet within
90 days of the AT&T settlement in a joint study session to determine how to best use the payment, and within 30 days
thereafter the matter would be considered in an open public meeting of the Town Council.
In order to accommodate the terms of the agreement between the Town and KCAT, the Town Council/ Redevelopment
Agency meeting schedule for 1999-2000 fiscal year must be amended to set a study session on April 24.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
Is not a project defined under CEQA, and no further action is required.
