All applications or requests to the County for a new cable television
franchise, modification of a franchise, renewal of a franchise or
transfer of a franchise, whether by negotiation or by ordinance, or
for the issuance of a request for proposals, shall not be considered
complete until a nonrefundable filing fee of $500 is paid. Such fee
shall be applied against the cost of advertising public hearings.
In the event the cost of such advertising exceeds $500, the applicant
shall be responsible for such additional costs, which must be paid
before any action is taken by the County. The fee provided for herein
shall be in addition to all fees required by other provisions of this
Code. The amount of said fee may be changed from time to time by resolution
of the Board of Supervisors. Any such fee hereafter approved by resolution
shall be shown on a schedule kept in the office of the County Administrator
available for public inspection.
