Consent Agenda
Question:
Should the City Council extend the Charter Communications Franchise for one year to facilitate
negotiation of a new franchise agreement?
Staff Recommendation: City Legal and Administration staff recommend approval of the attached
one year extension agreement to facilitate negotiations.
Background:
The Charter franchise expires on June 1,2008. In August 2005, in accordance with the Cable
Communications Act, Charter notified the City of its intent to renew its franchise with the City. A
public notice was published inviting written and oral comments on an extension. No written or oral
comments were received by the Council on the February 21, 2006 public hearing date. No
negotiations have yet occurred, although the City Attorney's office did obtain a professional review of
the franchise agreement for technical compliance with the Cable Television Act. This report was
received on May 14, 2008.
On May 20,2008 the City Attorney's office also received the attached extension agreement from
Charter. The extension is recommended by City staff. This item was previously on the City Council
look-ahead for June 17, 2008, because of a mistaken belief the franchise expired June 30, 2008.
Related City Policies: AMC Title 16.
Council Options:
(1) Grant a one year extension.
(2) Grant less than a one year extension.
Potential Motions:
Motion to approve attached Extension Agreement for Charter franchise

Ambuja Rosen's Speech In Public Forum, 5/20/08
At the last Earth nay celebration, I ran into councilor Kate
Jackson, 'and we dialogued a bit about the';tetheringissue.
I lik:eKate~"/ Kate, ,if I say anything in this speech that's
not accurate about you, please interrupt me 'and correct me.
I've only spent a little timeardund Kate, but sometimes, ,
when' I have, I've.felt a natural af.fection for her.
One beautiful thing about Kate Jackson is that she
retdgri~zes that tying animals~ or at least ,dogs,. ..for a long
time unattended at home is inhumane. I bet Kate has never
treated orie of her own animals' that way. '.
Kate Jackson's' objections to a tethering limit have been
logistical, not philosophical. She told me she thinks the
poiice have higner priorities than tojeh.fo~ce,a' tethering
limi't. 'I told' Kate that I agree" that on 'any gi vEm, day," the
police may have what they consider to be~ higher priorities;
but that very few of these animals will be emergencies, with
embedded collars,' for': example) or strangld.ng to death on I.
ttleir tethers. 'If an al\irtfal's been chained for three years,
what's one more week going 'to mattter? · T:he 'police can :tend
to what they consider higher-priority calls first, then come
back, say, a week later for the animal.
Animal Control Officer Larry Herring told me that each
complaint takes him only about an hour to enforce--and
that's if it goes to court, which most of them don't. Based
on the number of complaints in other jurisdictions, Ashland
will get an initial flurry of maybe 20 complaints, then only
about 3 or 4 complaints a month after that. And these
complaints may diminish to zero over time.
Kate Jackson also told me that she didn't know whether this
is a big enough problem in Ashland to legislate. This is a
valid concern, and one the mayor had, too.
I told Kate the same things I told the mayor. I sent her a
list of excessively chained animals that people have
reported to me over the past two years. I told her these
are probably only a small percentage of the animals in
Ashland who are chained a lot. As two animal control
officers stated in my last report, most chained animals are
not visible from the street. Also, some people don't want
to tell me about their neighbors' chained animals.
.1. also asked Kate Jackson, like I as.ked t;he ,mayor, ,,1;.0 .thinl;c
creatively in terms 'of time and sp~ce. I ,don't know how
many animals we have.who are excessively chained, but let's
say it's 50 to 100. We may have another 50 to 100 next
year,. ; and another. 50 to 100 the :next year" and so on. I
told Kate that, if she votes for this ordinance, she, .might
help thousands of Ashland animals over the next few decades.
I also asked Kate Jackson to think creatively in terms of
space, or geography. At our January 2007 hearing, the .
Southern Oregon Kennel Club apparently organiz~d purebred
dog breeders to come from as far as Eugene to oppose this.
They know that this could-spread to other places.
Colleen Ma.cuk, Jackson, County shelter director, told me: that
i.f Ashland's law;lworks, she'll use that as Qocumentation tp
try for a county law.
So I asked Kate Jackson to conside~~ that if snj,votes' for
this, she.' may be helping thousanp~l,lpon thousands of animals
throughout our county and even beyond.
Thank you.

Dear Councilors and
t'la vo r :
T
I'm concerned about the animals in Ashland t'fho ar'e tied t.lp at their homes
far e~cessive periods. They suffer loneliness. frustration and boredom.
They also run the riskcf strangling to death, getting abused by kids or
adults, getting attacked by animals, or dying of heatstroke.
Jackson County allows animals to be tied for their entire lives on short
chains. This is not a life that anyone in Ashland, including pets, should
have to endure. Please pass a lal~1 to make this kind of an";imal abuse
) illegal. Please heavily restrict the tethering of dogs and other animals
at their homes.
