EXPLANATION:
On January 1, 2013, Access Cable Corporation terminated cable and internet services to the residents of Morgan Tower
looted at 1415 D Avenue, National City, CA 91950. Housing Authority staff has attempted contacting Access Cable by
phone and mail to no avail although Access did inform the California Public Utilities Commission that they were withdrawing
their services from its jurisdiction. During this time, staff has been working with Cox Communications California, LLC (Cox) to
provide cable and Internet services to the residents of Morgan Tower. Cox has completed the design work necessary to
provide cable access. The plan includes bringing cabling from the public right of way to a main entry point in the building
through existing unused conduit, installing all required switch gear at the main building entry location and on each floor and
using the existing internal cable runs owned by the CDC to distribute the signal to each unit as was done previously in
Morgan Tower by other providers and currently by Cox in Kimball Tower.
Prior to the provision of services, Cox has requested the Housing Authority of the City of National City execute the attached
agreements. The Services and Access Agreement allows Cox to bring the signal to the building and use our distribution
wiring to provide services to the units, The Grant of Easement and Memorandum of Agreement confirms that Cox will have
access to their equipment when necessary to perform repairs or upgrade equipment. Approval of the resolution would allow
the Chairman to execute the agreements and allow Cox to complete the work required to provide residents of Morgan Tower
with cable and Internet services.
