COUNCIL, CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, STATE OF CALIFORNIA
A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE ENACTMENT
OF FEDERAL LEGISLATION ALLOWING LOCAL
REGULATION OF CABLE TELEVISION RATES
AND SERVICE TIERS
WHEREA~, the Cable Act of 1984 removed local government regulation of cable
television providers; and
WHEREA~i, this deregulation was not in the best interest of the citizens of

of cable erators; and
WHEREA , in many areas of South San Francisco cable is necessary simply to
receive television reception whatsoever; and
WHEREA , there are several pieces of proposed federal legislation including
H. R. 2222, the Cable Consumer Protection Act of 1989 which would reinstitute
local regulatory authority; and
WHEREA~, this regulatory authority would be in the best interests of the
citizens ot the City of South San Francisco.
NOW, T~EREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of South San
Francisco hat it supports the enactment of federal legislation allowing local
regulation of cable television rates and service tiers, such as H.R. 2222, and
that a co of this resolution be sent to South San Francisco's representative
in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate.
