In a letter dated March 7, 2003, Comcast questioned "how the City could assess liquidated damages or other penalties against Comcast for failure to meet franchise build-out requirements while at the same time the City is in the process of granting extensive and substantial relief to Comcast's competitor RCN....Comcast would have no choice but to seek court protection of its rights under City and state law...." The City Attorney advises that, based upon this March 7, 2003 Comcast letter, there is a significant exposure to litigation against the City if the City approves the proposed RCN franchise ordinance contained in Board File No. 021825. Government Code Section 54956.9(b)(1) & (3) and San Francisco Administrative Code Section 67.10(d)(2) would permit this closed session. (City Attorney)
