WHEREAS, the City of Friendswood adopted Resolution No.
R-93-40, which prescribed procedures for rate regulation consistent
with the Act and FCC Rules, and is regulating basic cable rates;
and
WHEREAS, within the past one hundred twenty (120) days TCI TKR
of Houston, Inc. ("TCI") , submitted to the City of Friendswood a
FCC Form 393, with a proposed schedule of rates for the basic
service tier and associated equipment, hereafter "Form 393, and the
City of Friendswood ordered the tolling of the effective date of
such rates as set forth in a previous resolution; and

effective one hundred twenty (120) days from their submission
unless the City of Friendswood has taken action on them and, it is
now apparent that the City of Friendswood may not take such action
within such time period, therefore to protect the interests of its
residents the City of Friendswood wishes to direct TCI to keep an
accurate account of all sums received by reason of such rates and
on whose behalf such amounts were paid, such that if and to the
extent the City of Friendswood later issues a written decision
