City Manager stated that it was anticipated bids would be called again within a two-week period because it was felt project had been adequately reviewed by bidders interested, and this short delay would not cause a change in the construction schedule. City Manager replying to the question concerning any increase in costs because of re- bidding, advised it was possible, but that bidders had also had advantage of observing other bids in this instance, and even though perhaps a calculated risk, bids could again be rejected if necessary. Motion carried on roll call vote. Councilman Petersen moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 5478 APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING EXE- CUTION OF APPRAISAL AGREEMENT FOR REAL PROPERTY IN THE SAN MATEO COUNTY SCAVENGER CO. - BELMONT SLOUGH AREA, "B" DREDGE, seconded by Councilman Keckley. Staff report stated agrerement provides for appraisal and negotiation services by C. Warren Fox for property needed to widen the channel to width agreed to with ABC and to have sufficient land to make the required slope and levee. Upon questioning as to acreage involved, City Attorney advised the maximum would be 17.848 acres, although there is a title dispute over the portion subject to tidal action. City Manager, also in reply to questioning, advised appraisal charges were not to be reimbursed by Leslie Properties as this was a District matter which was not a part of original agreement. Motion carried on roll call vote. CATV Franchise Award. Staff report stated it is City Manager's recommendation that the CATV franchise be awarded to Peninsula Cable Television Corporation was accepted by Council at the August 28th meeting and Franchise Ordinance had been prepared as requested for Council's consideration at this meeting, copies having been submitted to Council previously for their review. City Manager also submitted to Council written confirmation of the grantee's willingness to accept previously agreed upon conditions and reported on a meeting held with Peninsula Cable Television Corp. to discuss increage in City's share of gross receipts generated by the system as re- quested by Council, and which it had been contended 4% set by City was fair and equitable, and even higher than percentages being received by other municipalities. It was also noted franchise ordinance was the same as that previously prepared except for two minor amendments: (1) inclusion of a charge for a converter which would enable customers to receive more than 12 channels; (2) amendment establishing a more realistic reporting procedure. Councilman Rosselli moved to introduce Ordinance repealing Ordinances Nos. 1305 and 1307 and awarding non-exclusive franchise to construct, operate and maintain a community antenna television system within the City of Redwood City to PENINSULA CABLE TELEVISION CORPORATION; and establishing certain conditions, therefor, seconded by Councilman Granger. Council questioned length of term of ordinance and arrangements for negotiations of extensions, and was advised by City Attorney why this was not felt necessary as award was a non-exclusive one and did not preclude any kind of renegotiations.
