MEMORANDUM
TO:
FROM:
DATE:
Todd Gerhardt, City Manger
Bob Generous, Senior Planner
November 24, 2003
SUB J:
Adoption of Ordinance, Chapter 7.5, Chanhassen City Code,
Cable Communications; Approval of Summary Ordinance for
Publication Purposes
ACTION REQUIRED
A simple majority vote of City Council members present is required to adopt the
amendment; however, a 4/5ths vote is required for approval of the summary
ordinance for publication purposes.
BACKGROUND
Over the past two years, the city has been reviewing proposed changes to City Code.
Our overall intent is to try to make the code easier to understand and use by addressing
problems, overlapping code requirements, clarifying ordinance language, procedures or
processes, and consolidation. The proposed changes to Chapter 7.5 have been
reviewed previously by the Chanhassen Planning Commission and City Council.
SUMMARY
This chapter deals with cable franchises within the city. All changes deal with
correcting citations.
Staff believes that these changes are administrative, rather than substantive, in
nature and is recommending approval of the amendment.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance for
Chapter 7.5 of the Chanhassen City Code; and approve the summary ordinance
for publication purposes.
