(ITEM CONTINUED FROM REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING HELD MAY 22, 2019) (Kay Marion Macuil, City Attorney) 

Reason for continuing the item
At the May 22, 2019, the City Attorney requested that this item be continued because there was discussion among Arizona City Attorneys on the topic that warranted more investigation.  The discussion was about creating a supporting ordinance.  As of the writing of this Agenda Item, the City Attorney's Office is still looking into whether such an ordinance it makes sense for San Luis.

Background on this Item
On May 16, 2018, Governor Ducey of Arizona signed into law SB1140 which requires that cities adopt by July 1, 2019, a uniform video and cable service license agreement along with a standard application and affidavit to obtain the license agreement.  A telecommunications work-group developed the forms staff has provided for adoption.  The cable industry has accepted them.  The forms track SB1140, and they take into account HB2229 and HB2179 passed in April and May this year.

For more information, staff has attached an article and excerpts of two (2) reports by the League of Arizona Cities and Towns further explaining the law and the three (3) bills involved.
