3. REQUEST City Representatives to contact AT&T and DirecTV to request that AT&T and DirecTV agree to such a condition or informally agree to carry Channel 35 on an on-going basis. 

Fiscal Impact Statement:  The ITA reports that with the exception of all but one of the options presented above, DBS carriage would represent a significant and ongoing expense to the City. In addition, it should be noted that if the City obtained satellite distribution for Channel 35, it may have an adverse effect on cable/video TV franchise fees paid to the City by incumbent cable/video TV operators, including Time Warner, Cox, Charter, Verizon and AT&T, because the City receives gross revenue franchise fees from cable video TV providers but not DBS providers. The exact financial impact on franchise fee revenue due to subscribers choosing to switch to satellite from cable/video TV if Channel 35 were available on .DirecTV is not known. In addition, with all but one of the options discussed above, the City would potentially incur DBS carriage costs exceeding Channel 35's entire yearly budget.
