Authority: The city of Pleasanton, pursuant to applicable federal and state law, is authorized to grant one or more nonexclusive franchises to construct, operate, maintain and reconstruct cable systems within the city limits. B. Findings: The city council finds that the development of cable systems has the potential of having great benefit and impact upon the residents of the city. Because of the complex and rapid- ly changing technology associated with cable systems, the city council further finds that the public convenience, safe- ty and general welfare can best be served by establishing regulatory pow- ers which should be vested in the city or such persons as the city may desig- nate. It is the intent of this chapter and subsequent amendments to provide for and specify the means to attain the best possible cable service to the public and any franchises issued pursuant to this chapter shall be deemed to include this as an integral finding thereof. It is the further intent of this chapter to estab- lish regulatory provisions that permit the city to regulate cable system fran- chises to the extent permitted by federal and state law, including, but not limited to, the federal cable communications policy act of 1984, the federal cable television consumer protection and competition act of 1992, the federal telecommunications act of 1996, appli- cable federal communications commis- sion regulations and applicable Califor- nia law.
