Stewart Borough Manager Borough ofl Bellefonte 236 West Lamb Street Bellefonte, PA 16823  RE: Executive Summary ofCable Franchise Agreement with Shenandoah  Cable Television, LLC ("Shentel")  Dear Ralph:  Iam pleased to inform you that we have reached tentative agreement with Shentel regarding cable franchise renewal for Bellefonte Borough. The following is an executive summary of the major provisions of the Cable Franchise Agreement (the Agreement") negotiated with various representatives of Shentel. While there are many other important provisions contained in the Agreement, I have limited this summary to the major items outlined herein. The Agreement is, of course, subject to the approval of the Borough  Council. 1.  Franchise Fees (Sections 1(p) and 6)  Municipalities are entitled under federal law to assess a franchise fee of up to five percent (5%) of the cable operator's "gross revenues" for cable services provided within the municipality. The Borough currently assesses a five percent (5%) fee and this remains the same in the Agreement. The definition of "gross revenues" in the Agreement includes an itemized list of25 separate revenue sources that will maximize the Borough's franchise feei revenue. This listi includes all current eligible revenue sources as well as all foreseeable future sources and a "catch all" item to capture any other future revenue sources that are not foreseeable. The list adds several new revenue sources that Shentel has added in the  past few years.  While several relevant variables such as rate changes, subscriberactivity, subscriber penetration, and related issues can and will impact the Borough's franchise fees, the  Page 3 of140    Bellefonte Borough Council Packet August 7, 2023  Agreement is intended to maximize the Borough'sf franchise fee revenue. Please note that all franchise fees are passed through to Shentel cable subscribers as a separate line item on their bills. Franchise fees will be paid to the Borough on a quarterly basis.  In addition to franchise fee revenue, the Agreement ensures franchise fee accountability. It permits thel Borough to conduct an independent auditofs Shentel'srecords to determine whether Shentel has paid franchise fees accurately. Should the audit reveal that franchise fees have been underpaid, then Shentel must pay the underpaid amount plus ten percent (10%) interest on the underpayment. Furthermore, should the audit reveal that franchise fees have been underpaid by five percent (5%) or more, then Shentel also must  contribute up to $3,000 toward the cost of the audit.  Finally, the Agreement includes "bundled services" protection. If a subscriber purchases more than one of Shentel's three services (i.e. cable, internet and phone) and receives al bundled services discount, this provision ensures that the discount does not apply only to cable services. Ifit did, franchise fee revenue to the Borough would be reduced. Section 6.5 oft the Agreement states that "allocation of revenue shall not be structured for  the purpose of evading franchise fees applicable to cable services."  2.  Customer Service Standards (Section 4)  The Agreement establishes a set of comprehensive, quantifiable, and enforceable customer service standards. These standards adopt the relevant recommendations of the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC"), which are not enforceable unless they are included in a franchise agreement, and also add certain additional requirements. The  customer service standards include, but are not limited to, the following:  Telephone answering time limits for customer servicere representatives, including the requirement that Shentel to perform surveys to measure compliance with the Time limits for commencing installation, service interruption, and repair work, including limits on technicians cancelling appointments with subscribers;  standards upon receipt of subscriber complaints;  Afour-hour "appointment window" for service calls; Requirements for notices to subscribers;  Requirements that bills be clear, concise, and fullyitemized;  Customer complaint procedures, including that Shentel may not impose late fees on asubscriber who disputes a bill in good faith until the investigation is completed;  Page 2 Page 4 of 140    Bellefonte Borough Council Packet August 7, 2023  Requirements to be met prior to disconnecting service;  Credits for service interruptions ofs six or more hours upon request; and  Standards of subscriber privacy. Right-of-Way Protections (Section 3)  3.  The Agreement provides many protections of the Borough's public rights-of-way. For example, Shentel agreed to repair any damage to public or private property by Shentel or any of its contractors or subcontractors within 20 business days. In addition, the Agreement includes safety standards, the provision of service area maps to the Borough upon request, requirements for disconnection and relocation of Shentel's wires and equipment, removal of equipment in the event of an emergency, and the need for Borough  approval for cutting down any trees in the public rights-of-way. Reporting Requirements (Sections 5.7 and 6.3)  4.  The Agreement includes four reporting requirements to the Borough to be met by Shentel. The first is a detailed franchise fee report to accompany each quarterly franchise feej payment. The report must contain linei items for sources ofrevenue received by Shentel  and the amount of revenue received from each source.  Second, upon written request, Shentel must submit a customer complaint report stating the date, nature and resolution of all subscriber complaints that have generated a work order or have necessitated ai response. Thet term" "complaint" is defined as any written (including email) or oral communication by a subscriber expressing dissatisfaction with Shentel's operation of the cable system that is within Shentel's control and requires a corrective measure. In addition, and upon request, the Borough may obtain from Shentel specific information regarding service repair requests and service interruptions.  Third and finally, Shentel must, upon written request, provide to thel Borough copies of reports or other communications to any federal or state regulatory agencies relating to  Shentel's cable system within the Borough.  5.  Cable System Requirements and Service Area (Section 3)  The Agreement provides technical requirements for the cable system serving the Borough. It requires the system to be built for digital television standards and meet or exceed all technical performance standards of the FCC, the National Electric Code and the National Electrical Safety Code. Italso requires that Shentel perform tests on the cable system upon request, report to the Borough regarding the results of the tests, and take corrective measures ift the results show non-compliance with applicable standards.  Page 3 Page 50 of140    Bellefonte Borough Council Packet August 7, 2023  Furthermore, the Agreement requires that Shentel make cable service available to the Borough utilizing a different business model deployed by the Borough's other cable operator Comcast. That said, any such different business model should be transparent to the Borough when viewed over the term of the Agreement as it stands to reason that no cable operator entering any given municipality will provide ubiquitous coverage from the onset due to the capital outlay coupled by all of the variables to be accounted for in the contextofconstrueting: such a network asi is contemplated by the Agreement. Furthermore, any unit within 150 feet of the main distribution line is entitled to a standard installation rate. For any unit beyond 150 feet, Shentel must connect it if the unit owner pays the  incremental cost beyond the installation costs for the initial 150 feet.  6.  Educational and Governmental ("EG") Channel (Section 7.2)  Federal law grants municipalities the right to dedicated public, educational and governmental ("PEG") channels. In the Agreement, Shentel will continue to provide two (2) educational and governmental ("EG") channels to be used for programming related to educational and governmental activities. The Borough or its designee(s) has complete control over the content, scheduling, and administration of the channels, and the Borough may delegate these functions, or a portion of these functions, to a designated access  administrator, such as the School District.  Shentel will continue toj provide and maintain the wires and other signal distribution equipment SO that programming can originate from the selected video origination locations and be distributed over the cable system. Shentel is required to cablecast the EG channels to all Shentel subscribers and the technical quality of the channels must be comparable to  the technical quality used for commercial channels.  Shentel has agreed to provide EG capital support initially in the form of an annual lump sum followed by a transition initially to a combination of a lump sum amount and a percentage of gross revenues attributable to cable service and ultimately to a percentage of gross revenues attributable to cable service. Such EG capital support construct was negotiated to take into account the fact that Shentel will have no cable subscribers in the Borough until the cable system is constructed and operational - hence the lump sum only  portion for the first two (2) years.  Iti is also worth noting that Shentel (just as is the case for Comcast and all cable operators) is permitted by federal law to pass through such EG capital support to cable subscribers noting that there will be no pass through until Shentel has cable subscribers in thel Borough further noting that Shentel will not subsequently pass through any EG capital support paid to the Borough prior to Shentel having cable subscribers in the Borough.  Page 4 Page 6 of1 140    Bellefonte Borough Council Packet August 7, 2023  7. Services to Community Facilities (Section 7.1)  The Agreement requires Shentel to provide Basic level television service to various public buildings, including the Borough Building, police stations, fire companies, public works buildings, and water and sewer authorities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the FCC Section 621 Report and Order of September 2019 ("Order") has injected a major new restriction that previously did not exist. The Order states that "costs attributable to franchise terms that require a cable operator to provide free or discounted cable services to public buildings" may be offset against franchise fees. The FCC found that these services  are in-kind contributions and fall within the 5% franchise fee cap.  The Order outlines the new options for local governments: (1) continue to receive the existing cable services and reduce franchise fee revenue by the marginal cost ofthose services; (2) discontinue all the services and continue receiving franchise fees at their current level; or (3) terminate the service to certain buildings and reduce franchise fees by  the value of the reduced service.  The Order was challenged in court by many municipalities and local government associations around the country. These appeals were consolidated in the Sixth Circuit Court ofA Appeals and concluded with the result effectively being that the fair market value metric  was revised to marginal cost.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shentel has advised that they don't view the implications ofproviding free video service as burdensome and thus Shentel doesn'tintend to adhere to the Order in this regard. Whether or not such a position is within the purview of Shentel or any cable operator to take, we as a firm don't feel compelled to argue this point with Shentel - noting that further guidance in this area may develop - as we're certainly not going to do anything that has an adverse effect on the Borough or any of our  clients for that matter.  8.  Liquidated Damages for Violations (Section 8.2)  Once Shentel has agreed to the obligations described in this executive summary and the other obligations contained in the Agreement, it is critical for the Borough to be able to enforce these obligations. Section 8.2 of the Agreement allows for monetary fines, also known as liquidated damages," in the amount of $250 per day for each violation oft the Agreement. The Borough may assess such monetary fines after providing Shentel with written notice and allowing Shentel forty-five (45) days to correct the violation, unless the nature of the violation is such that it cannot be cured within forty-five (45) days, in which case the cure period may be extended. Liquidated damages may be assessed for 120 days, after which the Borough may commence revocation proceedings or initiate a lawsuit.  Page 5 Page 7of140    Bellefonte Borough Council Packet August 7, 2023  9.  Performance Bond (Section 8.4)  Shentel also agreed to obtain and maintain a performance bond running to the Borough in the amount of $25,000 during the franchise term. The performance bond will help to ensure Shentel's faithful performance of its obligations under the Agreement,  including any recovery of liquidated or compensatory damages. 10. Length of Franchise Term (Section 2.2)  Due to the fact that cable technology is constantly changing and we cannot predict the state of this technology in the future, we recommend the shortest possible length of  term for the Agreement. For Shentel, this is 10 years. 11. Competitive Equity Provision (Section 2.6)  Pursuant to the 1992 Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act, cable franchise agreements may not be exclusive. The Borough may award more than one franchise to different cable operators. In large part due to the emergence of Verizon as a competitor in the cable industry, Shentel insisted upon including a competitive equity provision, also known as "level playing field" provision, in the Agreement. These provisions relate to the prospect of another cable operator providing cable services in the  Borough in the future.  The competitive equity provision negotiated with Shentel states that, ift the Borough grants another cable franchise and the material terms ofthe new: franchise agreement, when taken as a whole, are more favorable to the competitor than the terms in this Agreement are to Shentel, then Shentel may request an amendment to this Agreement to include such favorable terms. Onlyifthe Borough agrees with Shentel that there is a lack ofcompetitive equity will the Borough and Shentel enter into discussions to amend the Agreement. This provision keeps control with the Borough and assesses the Agreement in the aggregate rather than on an issue-by-issue basis. In our experience, an issue-by-issue analysis can be misleading by focusing on singular issues in a vacuum without taking into account the  totality of the negotiations.  This concludes the executive summary of the major items contained in the Agreement. There are many other provisions in the Agreement, but we have highlighted the major items.
