The City and Adelphia have been in substantive negotiations over the <br />past six months; however, both sides agree that additional time is <br />necessary to finalize the provisions of the contract. Additionally, the <br />Adelphia bankruptcy proceedings have complicated the process. The subject <br />120-day extension will allow additional time to permit a thorough renewal <br />process. During the extension, all existing cable services will remain in <br />place, and staff will continue to monitor and document Adelphia's <br />performance. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br /> <br />There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. <br /> <br /> <br />Gerardo R.
