<br />February 20, 1996 <br />• <br />RECEIVED <br />FEB 2 8 1996 <br />Knox Askins, Esq. <br />City Attorney <br />City of La Porte <br />P.O. Box 1218 <br />LaPorte, TX 77572-1218 <br />CIl Y MANAGERS <br />OFFICE <br />Dear Knox: <br />To reiterate our telephone discussion of yesterday, TCI has requested that the cable <br />television franchise of the City of La Porte, currently with an expiration date of June 30, <br />1996, be renegotiated directly between the City and TCI following closure and <br />consummation of the purchase of Prime Cable by TCI. To facilitate this, an extension of <br />the franchise through December 31, 1996, would be appreciated. If, for some reason, the <br />sale of Prime does not come to fruition, we should know well before June 30 franchise <br />expiration date and should be able to take appropriate action at that point. <br />Attached is a draft copy of an ordinance to transfer the current franchise form Prime to <br />TCI, and to extend the current franchise from June 30, 1996 to December 31, 1996. <br />Please let me know when this matter is scheduled for City Council action. <br />Yours, <br />. i <br />Kathleen Abel <br />Director, Community Affairs <br />cc: Jill Mack, TCI <br />Enclosures <br />ONE NORTHCHASE PARK • 4201 FM 1960 W., SUITE 300 • HOUSTON, TEXAS 77068-3414 • (713) 537-2900 <br />
