SUBJECT: Donation of Franchise Fee Revenue Derived from Adult

Organizations
BACKGROUND
At the initiation of the City Council, the City of Poway donated the 1994/95
franchise fee revenue derived from adult cable programming to EYE Counseling and
Crisis Center and For Parents' and Kids' Sake. A donation of $3,144 was divided
equally between the organizations in June 1994.
EYE provides the accompaniments at Pomerado Hospital in Poway, in-person
counseling in both group and individual formats, information and referral
services to victims, professionals and victims' family members, community
education for the purpose of prevention and intervention, and participation in
policy making through organizations such as the Sexual Assault Response Team
(SART), Additionally, EYE provides self-defense classes.
For Parents' and Kids' Sake, Inc. is a nonprofit family service organization that
promotes the well-being of children and families, with emphasis on child abuse
prevention. Their mission is to enhance the quality of life for children, teens,
and adults through education, counseling, and referrals.
For Parents' and Kids' Sake was founded in 1978 as a child abuse task force in
Poway. The organization received nonprofit status in 1982 and has been providing
services to families in San Diego County from their offices in Poway. The
organization offers programs and services that include: positive parenting
classes, post-partum parenting, individual and family counseling, women's support
groups, teen parents together, and eating disorder support groups.
Both nonprofit organizations provide services to Poway residents; one provides
services from their facilities in Escondido and San Diego, and the other provides
services from their offices in Poway,

Agenda Report - Donation of Franchise Fee Revenue
July 18, 1995

FINDINGS
The staff has contacted both Cox Cable and Southwestern Cable TV to determine the
amount of their annual franchise fee that is derived from adult programming.
Based on information provided by the cable companies, approximately $1436 in
franchise fees is generated by Cox Cable's adult programming and $95 is generated
by Southwestern Cable. The total annual revenue in franchise fees from adult
programming is estimated to be $1,531.
Staff is recommending that the City Council donate $1,531 to~be split evenly
between the EYE and For Parents' and Kids' Sake. The proposed donation is less
than in the previous fiscal year due to a reduction in City franchise fees
because of the elimination of daytime hours for adult cable programs.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City receives over $250,000 annually in cable franchise fees from the cable
operators, Approximately $1,531 was derived in franchise fees from adult cable
programming, Approval of staff recommendation will result in an appropriation
from the Reserve Fund.
