Under discussion, Commissioner Wodtke was concerned <br />that if H.R. 2902 is passed, then the channel copyright <br />adjustment fee requirement will automatically terminate and <br />if the increase is added to the monthly bills in the <br />meantime, the money would have to be refunded. There is <br />also the possibility that the cable company might not reach <br />$214,000 in revenues. <br />Administrator Wright suggested that the Motion be <br />amended to read that should the copyright. adjustment fee <br />requirement be repealed or if the cable company's gross <br />receipts do not reach the $214,000 amount, the money would <br />be subject to refund. <br />- Director Pinto suggested that it should read that if <br />-they are not charged the copyright fee either because of the <br />bill not passing or not making the proper revenue, they <br />would not be able to charge the customers. <br />Attorney Brandenburg advised that the problem with that <br />is that the cable company does not know what their revenue <br />will be until they have reached that point sometime during <br />the year, and during that time period they have to charge <br />the amount anticipated. <br />Lengthy discussion took place about the possibility <br />of Jones Intercable not reaching the minimum requirement of <br />$214,000 in revenues, and Mr. Vickers suggested that the <br />County Utilities review their revenue figures every six <br />months to see if they exceed the $214,000 level. <br />Commissioner Scurlock suggested that Jones Intercable <br />collect the 33� increase and hold it in escrow, and then if <br />they don't reach the $214,00, they can refund the escrowed <br />funds to the customers. <br />COMMISSIONERS SCURLOCK AND BOWMAN AMENDED <br />THEIR PREVIOUS MOTION to include the provision <br />that the rate increase funds be held in an <br />9 <br />NOV 3 0193'" 55 <br />
