commence a review to determine whether additional facilities or equipment are appropriate to
meet community needs and interests in public, educational or governmental use of cable, taking

additional equipment is required for public, educational or governmental use. In order to provide
the needed equipment, grantee shall:
(1) Pay to the City the amount of $40,000 no later than June 1, 1999; and
(2) Pay to the City $0.15 per basic subscriber per month commencing June 1, 1999 and
continuing through May 31, 2003, which grantee may pass through to basic
subscribers either in the same manner or included as a part of the pass through for
support of PEG access as provided in section 5.4 of this franchise.
C. If following the review to be commenced by the City in 2002, including public
hearings regarding what facilities or equipment may be necessary to meet community needs and
interests, taking into consideration the costs to subscribers of such facilities or equipment, the City
determines that the need for additional facilities or equipment warrants the continuation beyond
May 31, 2003 of a charge to be paid by grantee per basic subscriber per month, the City shall
notify grantee of the charge(s), if any, that will apply for the remainder of the term of this franchise
no later than sixty (60) days prior to its effective date. The charge, if any, determined by the City
may vary from time to time, either as an amount specified by the City in advance or based upon
a recognized index identified by the City. Grantee shall pay to the City the charge per basic
subscriber per month in the amount determined by the City for the remainder of the term of the
franchise. Grantee may pass the charge through to basic subscribers either in the same manner
or included as a part of the pass through for support of PEG access as provided in section 5.4 of
this franchise."
