In June 2011, the franchise agreement between Comcast and the City of Dublin ended, and the City
became subject to Assembly Bill 2987, the Digital Infrastructure and Video Competition Act
(DIVCA). DIVCA shifted oversight of cable television franchises from local governments to the State
through the California Public Utilities Commission. As a result of DIVCA, Tri-Valley Community
Television (TV30) lost its flexibility to use PEG (Public, Education, and Government) fees collected
from subscribers for ongoing operations. Although PEG fees continue to be collected from subscribers
by the cable operators, these fees are now specifically designated for capital costs only. This change
detrimentally impacted TV30 as well as public access channels throughout the country with similar
state laws. The federal Community Preservation Act of2011 (CAP Act) would rectify this situation.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution Supporting the Community Access Preservation Act of2011 (CAP Act).

approximately 34,950 square feet of commercial retail office at the comer of Dublin Blvd and
Dougherty Road. The original Stage 2 Development Plan provided a location for public art which was
to sit on the podium parking structure. Issues with the weight of the art piece, structural concerns with
the podium itself and the actual proposed location were determined to be problematic and the public art
component is proposed to be replaced with an in-lieu payment.
