May 27, 2014 Page 3 of 11 scholarships. Councilmember Bauman indicated she was part of the Cable Commission. She explained the Cable Commission has tried to work informally to compromise as much as possible with Comcast. This was proving to be extremely difficult. She discussed the pending Time Warner merger and how this would impact Comcast customers. She reported that the requested PEG fees would cover 10 cities and not just one. This should be considered by Comcast on their graph and noted complaints were not being made about PEG fees, but rather, with Comcast itself. She believed the $0.44 PEG fee was insulting. She discussed the combative negotiation process that has incurred with Comcast and believed they were unwilling to compromise. She supported the current $4.15 PEG fees continuing, but indicated this was not supported by Comcast. She feared how local programming would continue after the franchise was voted on. Ms. Warner stated the Comcast was fully invested in this franchise and would be until the Time Warner merger was complete. Mayor Jacobsen thanked Ms. Warner for the information presented this evening. 2. Consideration of Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Fill the Boot Campaign Resolution. Report No. 14 -117.
