BOX 147 • CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937 -1900 • FAX (612) 937 -5739 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Don Ashworth, City Manager DATE: September 6, 1994 SUBJ: Rate Regulation, Cable TV, Order Roll-Back of Rates I am pleased to inform the council that the FCC:has approved our certification to govern cable TV rates. The Rate Regulation Authority °provided for two time frames wherein regulation of rates was allowed, i.e. September' 4993 through May 1994 and May 1994 through the current time frame. The first rate regulation time frame was anticipated to reduce rates associated with basic services by approximately 5% with the second time producing an additional 7 %. The primary benefactor from 'the rate regulation are those subscribers having "additional outlet charges" as well as those having solely "basic services." One of the other factors which will negate the appearan ce of "rate reduction" recognizes that Triax, approximately one year ago, began offering 'Encore" as a substitute for the "additional outlet charge." Those subscribers,accepting 'Encore" in lieu of the additional outlet charge would now be eligible for a $4 ieduction in their monthly 'charges should they decide to cease receiving 'Encore." Unfortunately, most subscribers will not realize that this option is available to them. Y Triax has reviewed the attached resolution anti i * agreement that the .City of Chanhassen , does have the right to not only regulate rates in accordance with that resolution; but to call for a roll -back of rates for both .the September 1993 time frame as well :as May 1994.

In analyzing these forms I have utilized FCC spreadsheets which ensure all mathematical calculations are correct. In addition, I have reviewed the documents to ensure internal integrity and to reconcile information included in each form. Based on the foregoing, I have drafted the attached Resolution establishing the maximum permitted rates for the basic cable service tier and related equipment. The Resolution identifies the steps which the City of Chanhassen has undertaken to become a certified rate regulator pursuant to FCC regulations. The Resolution also identifies the maximum permitted rates which Triax may charge subscribers for two (2) specific time periods. The first time period relates to the FCC's first round of rate regulations which runs from September 1, 1993 to May 14, 1994. During this time period the rates charged by cable operators are governed by the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Report and Order of the FCC regarding rate regulation. Cable operator's must also use FCC Form 393 and are subject to possible decreases in the basic cable service tier rates and rates for related equipment of up to 10 %. As a certified franchising authority the City is entitled to roll rates back up to one (1) year from the date the City takes action on the matter. Since the City Council will consider the enclosed Resolution at its September 12, 1994 meeting, I have drafted the Resolution to include a refund order dating from September 12, 1993 (one year from the date of City action) to May 14, 1993. Triax will be required to calculate all applicable overcharges which were assessed to Chanhassen subscribers from September 12, 1993 through May 14, 1994 based on the maximum permitted rates established by the City, and specified within the Resolution, based on the City's review of Triax's FCC Form 393. 1 I L 1 1 1 1 1 1 I have reviewed and analyzed Triax Cablevision's FCC Forms 393, 1200, 1205 and 1215.

May 15, 1994 was the effective date of ' the FCC's 4th Report & "Order regarding rate regulation and contemplates an additional 7% reduction in the rates charged by operators for basic cable service and related equipment, resulting in a total reductions of up to 17%. Beginning May 15, 1994 (subject to certain FCC deferral periods) cable operators are required to complete FCC Forms 1200 and 1205 to establish the maximum permitted basic cable service tier rates and rates for related equipment. In addition, cable operators which offer programming on an "a la carte" basis must complete FCC Form 1215. The attached Resolution identifies the maximum permitted rates based on a ' review of Triax's FCC Forms 1200, 1205 and 1215. The Resolution also orders refunds for any overcharges which Triax assessed to Chanhassen subscribers beginning May 15, 1994 going forward. ' Based on my conversations with Bob Langely, Triax's General Manager, I anticipate notices will be sent to Chanhassen subscribers informing them of the new rates and any applicable refunds /credits at the end of September or early October. The new rates will appear on the November 1994 billing statements and will likely also reflect applicable credits /refunds resulting from the City's Resolution. may result from adoption of this Resolution. However, I expect the amount in question to be significant particularly due to the reduced equipment charges 1 Based on the foregoing, I recommend the City Council adopt the attached Resolution as drafted to ensure the rates and charges assessed by Triax do not or the attached exceed the maximum permitted levels specified in the FCC rate regulation i forms. At this time, I am uncertain of Triax's total refund liability which may result from adoption of this Resolution. However, I expect the amount in question to be significant particularly due to the reduced equipment charges 1 and significantly reduced charge for additional outlets. Should you have any questions regarding this letter or the attached Resolution please do not hesitate to contact me. Should you find the attached ' Resolution to be in order I recommend a copy of the Resolution be forwarded to Mr. Langely as well as Triax's local legal counsel, Ms. Jane Bremer, for their review and input. Once we have the benefit of their input we can hopefully ' finalize the Resolution and present it to the City Council for consideration and action at the September 12, 1994 meeting.

Very truly yours, MOSS S BARNETT A Professional Association • Brian T. Grogan BTG /slo 85ZBTG(8) _ Enclosure cc: Mr. Don Ashworth (via U.S. Mail) r r FCC Form 393 �Y Basic Assumptions General Facts Triax Communications Corporation is a multiple system operator (MSO) with 458 systems r in seventeen states. The MSO consists of five limited partnerships which were formed at various times during the eleven year history of Triax Communications Corporation. The respondent on this filing, Triax Midwest Associates, L.P. is limited partnership. A copy of the FCC Form 328 can be found at Exhibit 1. Accounting is done at the partnership level. For purposes of franchise fee payment, revenue , is maintained at the franchise level. Subscribers are tracked at the franchise level and rolled up to the system level to facilitate programming fee payment. Each week, a " Triax Communications Corporation Weekly Subscriber Report" is produced , for the previous week's activity. In addition to subscriber activity such as: completed installs, disconnects and sales activity, the report also summarizes the weekly service call activity for headend problems, line electronics, line maintenance, drop problems, converter problems, etc. All statistical information on the weekly report is generated through a series of reports produced by Triax's billing system. Triax maintains ten regional offices in geographically strategic locations across the country. Some regional offices only manage subscribers who are specific to a particular limited partnership. Other regional offices manage subscribers who are from as many as three limited partnerships. The weekly report presents information on a reporting center basis. A reporting center is a grouping of subscribers by regional office, by limited partnership. Any percentages derived from the weekly report for preparation of this filing were done on a company -wide basis to smooth out the effects of seasonal activity, weather related service call activity, and acquisitions. A copy of a summary which accumulates all weeks in the period 1/1/93 to 6/24/94 is enclosed at Exhibit 2. t FCC Form 393, Part I 1 In accordance with the FCC Form 393 instructions, all rate information is presented net of , franchise fees. FCC Form 393, Part II I Line 101, 102 & Line 201, 202 - Due to the number of systems managed by Triax and the recent number of channel lineup changes, Triax discontinued providing channel lineup / rate r1 L Y' card information to it's subscriber base. The m4 ority of sales come through office sales. Prices and channel lineup information are communicated verbally to the customer over the telephone. The Triax corporate headquarters maintains an extensive programming database which tracks the historic channel lineup information in order to pay programming suppliers. Rates are maintained in the billing system database and can be historically researched via microfiche. This historical information is available and can be accessed and reviewed in ' detail upon request. A copy of September 30, 1992, September 1, 1993, and March 31, 1994, rate cards were produced for this filing and are found at Exhibit 3. ' Line 104, 204 - Equipment Revenue - Equipment revenue represents actual equipment rental, additional outlet and installation revenue for the franchise area. Line 108, 208 - Franchise fees represent the franchise area's actual franchise fee. If there is no franchise fee or if the fee is passed on to the subscribers in the franchise area, this line item is zero. Worksheets 3, 4, 5 - Information from these worksheets is derived from Part III. Assumptions for Part III are explained in detail below. FCC Form 393, Part III Line 2 - Regulated customer equipment and installation percentage - Determined by analysis of the Triax Weekly Activity report for a period of 01/01/93 - 06/24/94. 18.51% of the work done by the technical staff (114,015/616,021) relates to regulated customer equipment and installation. r Line 4 - Total labor hours for maintenance and installation of regulated customer equipment is determined by multiplying total technical staff hours (98 techs x 2,080 hours /yr) incurred for the partnership by the percentage of work related to regulated customer equipment and installation (18.51 %), yielding the total hours related to customer equipment and installations. Line 8 - 14 - Triax does not charge for licensed remotes. Line 16 - Total maintenance /service hours for leased converter boxes was determined by analyzing the Triax Weekly Service Call report for converter related service calls for the period 01/01/93 - 06/24/94. 33.12% of the work performed by the technical staff related to trouble calls (T /Cs) (204,043 T/Cs/616,021 total jobs). Of this percentage 3.63% of those calls were to maintain and /or service converter boxes. Therefore, 1.20% (33.12% x 3.63 %) of the work done by the technical staff relates to maintenance and /or service of converter boxes. This percentage was then multiplied by the total hours of the technical staff presented above to arrive at the total maintenance /service hours related to converter boxes. The total hours were then spread on a proportional basis based on the total count of converter boxes in each category. Line 23 - Total maintenance /service hours for other leased equipment deals with additional 2 n outlets and was determined by an analysis of the Triax Weekly Service Call report for drop . related service calls for the period 01/01/93 - 06/24/94. For purposes of the Triax Weekly report, a drop historically has been treated as the wiring that starts at the pole or pedestal and ends at the subscribers television(s). To isolate the portion of the drop that deals with the additional outlet, the following assumptions were made. 33.12% of the work performed by the technical staff is related to T /Cs (See above). Of this percentage, 11.90% of those calls were to maintain and /or service drop problems. This percentage was then multiplied , by the percentage of additional outlets in the partnership to the total subscribers in the partnership (36.50 %) to come up with the percentage of work related to an additional outlet drop problem. This percentage was then multiplied by 30% to arrive at the estimated percentage of additional outlet drop problems that pertain to wiring inside the home. 30% is an estimate of the total labor and materials associated with an installation with an additional outlet that is inside the home. The resulting percentage (1.30 %) was then ' applied to the total hours of the technical staff to arrive at the total maintenance /service hours related to additional outlets. I Schedule A - Capital costs represent the franchise area's percentage share of the capital costs of service installation & maintenance of equipment of the partnership. The percentage was determined by dividing the collective number of subscribers in the franchise area by the total subscribers in the partnership. Of the installation dollars calculated, 10.95% were , determined to be attributable to inside wiring related to additional outlets. This percentage was determined by the fact that 36.50% of all subscribers in the partnership have an additional outlet and an estimated 30% of the installation materials and labor on a new install is related to the portion of the installation inside the home (36.50% x 30% = 1 10.95 %). 10.95% of the installation dollars were included in Schedule C with the remaining 89.05% included in the installation category on Schedule A. ' The annual depreciation expense provision is calculated on the straight line basis over a period of five years for vehicles and ten years for installation and tools asset accounts. Schedule B - The franchise areas' share of the annual operating expenses for service installation & maintenance of equipment determined as follows: , Actual wages and benefits were determined for the partnership's technical staff. Benefits were determined by taking the percentage of technical staff to total employees in the partnership. This percentage was then applied to the actual medical insurance, recruiting and training, and other benefits accounts to determine the technical staffs share of these expenses. , In Line 2 above, it was previously determined that the technical department spends 18.51% of its time working on customer equipment and /or installation related activities. This , percentage was extended over various General and Administrative account categories in order to determine the amount of G & A which is attributable to customer equipment and /or installation related activities. This was done based on the assumption that the office personnel work activities are directly related to and, as a result of, the activities occurring in the field. 3 J � Vehicle expenses, utilities and rent all represent actual expenses. Schedule C - Triax rents three classifications of converter boxes: addressable, digital and manual. An addressable converter is available only in those systems which are addressable. A digital converter is a remote capable converter and a manual converter is not remote 1 capable. Due to the large number of systems that Triax manages, it is impossible to determine the manufacturer and model number of the converter boxes that are in the subscribers homes. For this reason, Triax based it's converter valuations on the following assumptions: The book value and accumulated depreciation of converters represent the total general ' ledger balances as of June 30, 1994. In order to spread the book values and accumulated depreciation balances over the three different types of converters, a weighted average valuation of the converters was done using replacement cost. A historical review of the partnership's purchasing records yielded prices of approximately $110, $56 and $26 for addressable, digital and manual converters, respectively. The annual depreciation expense provision is calculated on the straight line basis over a period of five years for converters and ten years for additional outlet asset accounts. J 4 � II: 11 .

FCC 393 (Page 32) ' August 1993 1 Basic Assumptions Triax Communications Corporation is a multiple system operator (MSO) with 458 systems ' in seventeen states. The MSO consists of five limited partnerships which were formed at various times during the eleven year history of Triax Communications Corporation. ' The respondent on this filing, Triax Midwest Associates, L.P., is a limited partnership. Accounting is done at the partnership level. For purposes of franchise fee payment, revenue is maintained at the franchise level. Subscribers are tracked at the franchise level and rolled up to the system level to facilitate programming fee payment. I A copy of the City of Chanhassen's FCC Form 328 filing enclosed at Exhibit 1. Each week, a " Triax Communications Corporation Weekly Subscriber Report" is produced for the previous week's activity. In addition to subscriber activity such as: completed installs, disconnects and sales activity, the report also summarizes the weekly service call activity for headend problems, line electronics, line maintenance, drop problems, converter problems, ' etc. All statistical information on the weekly report is generated through a series of reports produced by Triax's billing system. Triax maintains ten regional offices in geographically strategic locations across the country. Some regional offices only manage subscribers who are specific to a particular limited partnership. Other regional offices manage subscribers who are from as many as three limited partnerships. The weekly report presents information on a reporting center basis. A reporting center is a grouping of subscribers by ' regional office, by limited partnership. Any percentages derived from the weekly report for preparation of this filing were done on a company -wide basis to smooth out the effects of seasonal activity, weather related service call activity, and acquisitions. A copy of a summary which accumulates all weeks in the period 1/1/93 to 12/31/94 is enclosed at Exhibit 2. Unless otherwise indicated, all information provided in this filing was provided in accordance with the filing instructions for each form. FCC Form 1200 ' Line Al, A6, G2 - Due to the number of systems managed by Triax and the recent number of channel lineup changes, Triax discontinued providing channel lineup / rate card information to it's subscriber base. The majority of sales come through office sales. Prices and channel lineup information are communicated verbally to the customer over the telephone. The Triax corporate headquarters maintains an extensive programming database which I tracks the historic channel lineup nformation in order to ay programming , P P suppliers. Rates are maintained in the billing system database and can be historically researched via microfiche. This historical information is available ' and can be accessed and reviewed in detail upon request. The accompanying FCC Form 1215 provides channel line -up information for April 1, 1993 and March 31, 1994. In addition, rate cards for September 30, 1992, September ' 1, 1993, and March 31, 1994 were produced for this filing and are at Exhibit 3. ' FCC Form 1205 Schedule A Capital costs represent the capital costs of service installation & maintenance of equipment of the partnership. Of the permitted installation dollars calculated, (10.64 %) were determined to be attributable to inside wiring , related to additional outlets. This percentage was determined by the fact that 35.45 of all subscribers in the partnership have an additional outlet and an estimated 30% of the installation materials and labor on a new install is related to the portion of the installation inside the home (35.45% x .30% _ ' 10.64). 30% is an estimate of the total labor and materials associated with an installation with an additional outlet that is inside the home. 89.36% of the installation dollars were included in the "Other 1." category on Schedule A with the remaining 10.64% included in the "Other Equip." category on Schedule C. The "Other Equip." on Schedule C represents additional outlets. The annual depreciation expense provision is calculated on the straight line basis over a period of five years for vehicles and ten years for installation and ' tools asset accounts. Schedule B The annual operating expenses for service installation & maintenance of equipment and plant were determined as follows: Actual wages and benefits were determined for the partnership's technical staff. Benefits were determined by taking the percentage of technical staff to ' total employees in the partnership. This percentage was then applied to the actual medical insurance, recruiting and training, and other benefits accounts to determine the technical staffs share of these expenses. As determined below, the technical staff spends 19.01% of its time working on customer equipment and /or installation related activities. This percentage , was extended over the various General and Administrative account categories in order to determine the amount of G & A which is attributable to customer equipment and /or installation related activities. This was done based on the 2 1 11 1 ' assumption that the office personnel work activities are directly related to, and as a result of, the activities occurring in the field. ' Supplies, utilities, rent, and vehicle expense all represent actual expenses. Schedule C Triax rents three classifications of converter boxes: addressable, digital and manual. Addressable converters are available only in those systems which are addressable. A digital converter is a remote capable converter and a manual converter is not remote capable. The "Other Equip." category on Schedule C represents additional outlets. Line B, Converters - Total maintenance /service hours for leased converter boxes was determined by analyzing the Triax Weekly Service Call report for converter related service calls for the period 01/01/93 - 12/31/93, (see ' Exhibit 2). 31.76% of the work performed by the technical staff was related to trouble calls (131,149 T/C jobs / 412,979 total jobs). Of this percentage, 4.26% of those calls were to maintain and /or service converter boxes. Therefore, 1.3 %, (31.76% x 4.26 %) of the work done by the technical staff relates to maintenance and /or service of converter boxes. This percentage was then multiplied by the total hours of the technical staff (100 technicians x 2,080 hours /yr) to arrive at the total maintenance /service hours related to converter boxes. The total hours were then spread on a proportional basis based on the total count of converter boxes in each category. Line B, Other Equip. - Total maintenance /service hours for "Other Equip." pertains to additional outlets and was determined by analyzing the Triax Weekly Service Call report for drop related service calls for the period f 01/01/93 - 12/31/93, (see Exhibit 2). For purposes of the Triax Weekly report, a drop historically has been treated as the wiring that starts at the pole or pedestal and ends at the subscribers' television. To isolate the portion of the drop that deals with the additional outlet, the following assumptions were made. 31.76% of the work performed by the technical staff is related to T /Cs (See above). Of this percentage, 35.12% of those calls were to maintain and /or service drop problems. This percentage was then multiplied by the percentage of additional outlets in the partnership to the total subscribers in the partnership (35.45 %) come up with the percentage of work related to an additional outlet drop problem. This percentage was then multiplied by 30% to arrive at the estimated percentage of additional outlet drop problems that ' pertain to wiring inside the home. 30% is an estimate of the total labor and materials associated with an installation with an additional outlet that is inside the home. The resulting percentage (3.735 %) was then applied to the total hours of the technical staff to arrive at the total maintenance /service hours related to additional outlets. Line D, Converters - Historically, Triax has not tracked the manufacturer and model number of the converter boxes that are in the subscribers' homes. For this reason, Triax based its converter valuations on the following assumptions: ' The actual converter counts for the system were multiplied by 1.05 to account for the estimated 5% carrying factor of the converter inventory. This inventory resides in technicians vehicles, headend sites or regional offices. The counts were then multiplied by an estimated replacement cost of the converters based on the classification of the converters (addressable, digital, ' manual). The replacement cost was based on a historical review of the partnership's purchasing records which yielded prices of approximately $110, $56 and $26, respectively. Accumulated depreciation was determined by ' calculating the partnership's accumulated depreciation percentage and applying that percentage to the converter values as computed above. Line D, Other Equip. - Triax has not historically maintained a separate cost category for additional outlets. Installation labor and materials for both the primary outlet and the additional outlets have been recorded in the same ' asset accounts. The basis for separating these costs is explained in the Schedule A explanation above. ' The annual depreciation expense provision is calculated on the straight line basis over a period of five years for converters and ten years for additional outlet asset accounts. ' Schedule D Routing nd scheduling activities are managed and controlled by the billing S g g system. Each activity: new installation, reconnection, service call, etc. is assigned a number of points by the billing system, (1 point = 15 minutes). i The average hours as listed on Schedule D represent the predetermined amount of time that has been set aside in the billing system for the activities listed. ' Worksheet For Calculating Permitted Equipment and Installation Charges: Step A, Line 4 - Determined by analysis of the Triax Weekly Activity report for a period of 01/01/93 12/31/93 (See Exhibit 2). 19.01% (78,496 total install and restart jobs / 412,979 total jobs) of the work done by the technical staff pertained to regulated customer equipment and installation. Step A, Line 6 - Total labor hours for maintenance and installation of ' regulated customer equipment is determined by multiplying total technical staff hours (100 techs x 2,080 hours /yr) incurred for the partnership by the , percentage of work related to regulated customer equipment and installation (19.01 %), yielding the total hours related to customer equipment and installations.
