M/S Claire/Howard to adopt RESOLUTION 13804 APPROVING CONTRACT DOCUMENTS FOR REDWOOD SHORES LEVEE FENCING AND GATES PROJECT; AND AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS THEREFOR; and instruct staff and the current sub-committee to add a member to begin a negotiation process with the Audubon Society and Fish and Wildlife to seek resolution in order to not put up the fencing and allow bids to be valid for a longer period of time than normal.

C. Telecommunications Industry Changes and the Effect on Local Government (for information only); Financial Services Director Ponty provided background information on changes that have taken place in the telecommunications and cable television industries and how the impacts may be expected locally. With respect to RCN's interest in providing cable, phone and Internet access to the City, staff believes that a firm commitment should be obtained to provide service throughout the entire city rather than selected areas. The City further feels RCN should construct a state of the art system and appropriately fund the Public Education and Group Access Channel (PEG) in addition to paying the City the 5% franchise fee to which it is entitled. The City will begin negotiating with RCN and expects to have an agreement back to Council in March or April; however, not before the encroachment issues have been resolved.
