A RESOLUTION TO POSTPONE ACCEPTANCE OF CONTINENTAL
CABLEVISION OF NORTHERN COOK COUNTY'S BASIC TIER
CABLE RATES (FCC FORM 1205)
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Communications Act of 1934, as amended
by the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of
1992, and the regulations prescribed thereunder ("Act"), the Village is
certified to regulate the rates charged for basic tier cable service in
the Village and all equipment, installation, and other services used
for such basic tier service; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Act, Continental Cablevision of
Northern Cook County ("Continental") has submitted to the Village its
FCC form 1205, dated March 31, 1995, requesting approval of its
adjusted basic tier rates for equipment, installation, and hourly
service charges; and
WHEREAS, the Act provides that if the Village is able to
determine that Continental's current basic tier rates are reasonable
under the Act's rate standards, the basic tier rates will go into
effect 30 days after they are submitted;
WHEREAS, the Act provides that if the Village is unable to
determine whether the proposed basic tier rates are reasonable, it may
toll the effective date of the proposed basic tier rates for up to 90
days to conduct a public hearing, at which interested persons may
express their views and record objections, to make a final
determination; and
WHEREAS, the Village has issued an Accounting Order allowing
Continental to implement current FCC Form 1205 rates while it studies
those rates further; and
WHEREAS, the Village needs additional time to review Continental's
proposed FCC Form 1205 basic tier rates and to ensure that they are
within the Act's reasonableness standard, and, therefore, wishes to
toll the effective date of the proposed basic tier rates to make a
final determination.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the President and Board of
Trustees of the Village of Elk Grove Village, Counties of Cook and
DuPage, Illinois as follows:
Section 1: The effective date of Continental Cablevision of
Northern Cook County's proposed basic tier rates is hereby tolled until
