There are three possible recommendation at tlus level: 1) grant the license without conditions, 2) grant the license with conditions that the applicant agrees with and wiil adhere to, or 3) send this matter to an Administrative Law Judge (AL7). What is not on the list is deniai of the license. If the Council fmdings were that the license should not be granted, it would haue to be sent to an ALJ. The ALJ process takes about 3 to 5 months. After the AI.J process, it would go back to the City Council for action. Kristine Schweinler reported their recommendation for the Auto Body Repair Shop and Second Hand Dealer-Motor Vehicle Licenses is approval with conditions. Also, they have changes to Conditions 1 and 2. Condition 1 should read as follows: The number of vehicies for sale displayed outdoors may not exceed 12 as shown on the approved site plan on file in LIEP. The following should be added to Condition 2: There should be five pazking spaces for customers and employees. Ms. Moermond asked has the owner had a chance to read through the conditions or taik to staff. John Fox responded yes. John C. Fox, applicant, home address of 2650 James Avenue North, Minneapolis, appeared and stated he appiied for the licenses. Over the years, he has bought and sold cazs. He never had a dealers license; it was something he dabbled in. His partner has mechanical ability and knows how to buy discount parts £or repair and replaaement. They thought they would do something with a lot and have more vehicles on display than just buying and selling a cars. That is why he appiied far the license. He has aiready examined the location and it was suitable for that type of business and had been utilized for that purpose in the past. They hope to buy, sale, and repair cazs in that location. There are industrial businesses and he used to deliver in that azea when he did a root service for another company. Most of it seems to be B-1 to B-3. Jeff Hawkins stated the area is actually I-1. Kerry Atrim, Community Organizer for District 6 Plamung Council, 213 Front Avenue, appeazed and stated the neighborhood was flyered about a meeting. There was no one representing 7& K Auto at the meeting, nor did a representative call the office. There has been clear neighborhood OS- �53 MINUTES OF 7& K AVI'O SALES AUTO BODY - 363 Atwater 3treet Page 2 opposition voiced conceming the painting of the vehicie because of air quality issues. This conflicts with the district's lazge azea plan which is to minim;�� and not enhance the auto related businesses. Repair facilities already e�st there. There was question about the site plan with overhead doors. This is considered a gateway to the neighborhood. The display is not to excess 12, but the site plan has quite a few display areas. If the committee does approve this with the conditions, which Ms. Atrim finds to be fair, District 6 Pianning Councal would like cleaz recourse as to re-evaluation of the licenses of all auto related businesses to ensure that conditions are met for their neighborhood. At a m;nimum, District 6 Piamiing Council would like Mr. Fox to come to their meeting. Ms. Moermond asked the meeling schedule. Ms. Atrim responded December 15, 630 p.m., 1021 Marion. The owner will get a letter. In answer to several questions, Mr. Hawkins answered that I-1 zoned properiy woutd permit a body shop with paint. A business has been there for 36 years. He does not know of any air quality concerns with that business, and there is nothing in the files concerning this. Mr. Aawkins asked is there an existing paint booth there and has it been approved by fire. Mr. Fox responded yes. Ms. Schweinler reported it has been approved by Fire. Mr. Fox stated his failure to show up far the community meeting was because they put the information at 363 Atwater and he did not get it. If it came to 2650 James Avenue North, then he would have shown up for that meeting. He will be there at the next District 6 Planmiing Council meeting to keep them appraised of what he is doing. Ms. Atrim is welcome to come and inspect the shop at any time. She will note it is neat and clean. Ms. Moermond asked the hours. Mr. Fox responded they will be open at 7:00 a.m. They will have to stay open unti16:00 or 7:00 pm. for people who are transitioning from work to pick up their vehicle or make arrangements to buy a vehicle. Ms. Moermond stated the business address is 363 Atwater and she does not see another address. Ms. Rozek responded LIEP has the home address on James Avenue. Ms. Schweinler added that the applicant designated a mail-to address in their application, which is 363 Atwater. The business is not open yet, which is why the owner has not received anything. Ms. Moermond explained the district council system to Mr. Fox: the district council can be his greatest ally, as it is a collection of people who are residents and business owners in the area. If Mr. Fox is in contact with the neighborhood organization, he will hear about things sooner if small things come up that can be resolved easily. It sounds like the district council is asking for a six month evaluation on the license. Mr. Fox responded he has no problem with that. Ms. Rozek responded that LIEP checks the conditions annually, and they respond to complaints, but it is true they are not there every week monitoring the number of cars in the lot. D S� t S3 MINLJTES OF J& K AUTO SAI,ES AUTO BODY - 363 Atwater Street Page 3 Ms. Moermond recommends approval with the following conditions: i. The number of vehicies for sale displayed outdoors may not exceed as as shown on the approved site plan on file in LIEP. 2.

In the police and fire plans comUined, 8 city pension costs are $6.18 million tlus year, against expected state police and fire pension aids of $533 9 million; and 10 WHEREAS, under the proposed employer contribution rates (to 13.5% in 2006 for police and fire plans, and 6% ll initially in the coordinated plan beginning in 2006, and increasing by another .25% annually thereafter), the City 12 will be forced to absorb an additional estimated $33 miilion in pension contribution costs in 2006, and increasing 13 amounts in following years. Of this total amount, about $2.9 million per year in additional costs are for the police 14 and fire plans; and 15 WHEREAS, to put a$3 3 million cost-increase in perspective, covering that amount within the city's general fund 16 budget (where virtually all of current and prospective costs fall) would mean: 17 1. A 5% increase in the city's total properiy tax levy, with no increase in services provided to the public; or 18 2. A 3.2% reduction in the combined general fund budgets of the police and fire departments; and 19 WHEREAS, local government employer contribution costs for PERA are designed to be offset, at least in part, by 20 state appropriations tluough the various state pension aid programs identified on the attachments. T'hese pension 21 aids are appropriated from the state general fund, and under current law are distributed through complex formulas 22 that limit the total pension aid payments to the total collections from certain state taxes on insurance premiums; and 23 24 WHEREAS, increasing the funding for the PERA coordinated and police(fire plans without increasing employer 25 contribution rates and forcing additional local tax increases ar spending cuts would require state actions such as: 26 • Increasing the state appropriation for pension aids, either by reallocating funding from other programs, 27 ar by increasing some state tas or other revenue. Increasing state insurance premium taxes would be one 28 option for this, but it would not be required. 1 . Reallocatfng the existing state pension aids program to ensure a better balance between actual employer 2 pension costs and state aids for individual cities; and �_ a �/ �0 3 WIIEREAS, two tables aze attached. The first table shows historic and projected costs to the city for employer 4 contributions to the PERA plans under the current rate structure, compazed with state pension aids that aze 5 intended to offset these costs. The second tabie shows the additional costs to the ciTy budget if the proposed rate 6 increases aze adopted; now therefore be it RESOLVED, that the City of Saint Paul urges the Legislature to be sensifive to the unpact this proposal will have on local governments; and be it fiuther 9 RESOLVED, that the City of Saint Paul would like to seek a reasonable compromise that would prevent this 10 situation from falling disproportionately on Saint Paul taspayers a11 at once, while recognizing that there is a 11 problem with the Fund that needs to be resolved ideally with some combination of increased revenues and 12 decreased spending growth that would support the State's pension system into the future.

As you know, the Metropolitan Council begins the formal review process today to consider the options that have been proposed by Metro Transit Officials to address the $60 million funding shortfall projected for the next biennium. It is important to emphasize at the outset that cuts and increases proposed by staff will affect the cities o£ Saint Paul and Minneapolis to a far greater degree than the rest of the metro area combined. � To put it another way, the Cities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis comprise approximately 22.6% of the totai population of the Twin Ci6es Metro Area but the two cities together are scheduled to absorb 5�% of the progosed cuts in services. The inequity in the proposed cuts for Saint Paul and Minneapolis is even more egregious because the two cities are home to the majority of low and moderate income workers and families in the metropolitan area, precisely those who depend on transit the most to get to work. And, it is also important to emphasize that the majority of transit riders in Saint Paul use the bus to go to and from work everyday. �' It is also important to look at there proposed cuts in the conteat of what has been happening to transit services in the last five years. In the recent past, Saint Paul and Minneapolis have disproportionately received more decreases in services than the rest of the metro area. Overall, bus rider ship has been decreasing since 2001 largely due to the service cuts enacted between September 2002 and December 2003, (the majority of which were focused on Saint Paul and Minneapolis) and the three consecurive faze increases which were approved in July 2001, D�-a.37 August 2002, and August 2003. These disproportionate cuts to Saint Paul and Minneapolis have been ` justified" by transit officials by pointing out that they reflect the changing transportation patterns and populafion demographics of the Twin Cities. There are more suburb to suburb work trips everyday than there are commutes to the two downtowns. However, officials fail to account for the fact that the two central cities contain more transit dependent residents today than in the past and tl�at service cuts affect the transit dependent population more directly because they have fewer transit oprions. In addition, past experience has proven that service cuts have resulted in the overall decrease in ridership, wkuch is directly contrary to all the goals and plans that have been developed for trausit over the last five years under both the Ventura and the Pawlenty Administrations. Officials are guick to point out that the dire situarion is the result of a change in the funding source for transit approved during the Ventura Administrarion. T'he obvious solution is to find a more reliable and predictable source for transit funding other than the motor vehicle sales tas. Of course this solufion runs contrary to the "no new taYes" pledge, and is another consequence of budget impasses of recent years. �' On personal note, I would like to point out that the proposed cuts include the elimination of Route 350 (McKnight Road) the only bus service that serves my neighborhood in Highwood Hills. The remaining altemafive for me is to walk one and quarter miles to catch a bus thax will take twice as long to get me downtown. That is not a very amactive altemative for anyone. Allen Lovejoy from PED is preparing a more in depth analysis of the potenrial effects of these proposed cuts for the Piacmiug Commission on Apri16, 20Q5. In the meantime, it is import�wt for interested citizens to let Metro Council and Metro Transit officiais know how the proposed cuts will affect them. There aze scheduled public hearings in the coming weeks. However, the only two hearings scheduled during normal business hours aze for Saint Paul and Minneapolis. The hearings in the suburbs are scheduled in the evening. Again it will make it disproportionately more difficult for Saint Paul and Minneapolis citizens to be heazd than their counterparts in the suburbs and beyond. A complete list of the scheduled cuts in service is available at; httro://www.metrocouncil.org/ plannin transportation/2005/routechanges.�df. Council Reseazch also has hard copies for your convenience. Please let me lmow if you have any further questions on this important topic. (My thanks to Ken Smith for gathering much of the background material for this briefing memo while I was out of town the last two weeks.)

This same 1205 filing was submitted to all Comcast communities nationwide, using the same data for setting the same rates for all communities. The City of St. Paul joined 19 other local governments entities, which represent over 1'h million Comcast subscribers nationwide, and retained financial consultants (Consultants) to review the 1205 rate filing. The 201oca1 government entities represent almost 1 Q� cities, townships and counties, including Los Angeles, Denver, the District of Columbia, and eight cable commissions, including six commissions in the Twin Cities metro area. After a lengthy review of support materials submitted by Comcast, including detailed discussions and analysis of the issues raised by Comcast, the Consultants developed recommendations and conclusions as to the recalculations of ComcasY s equipment and installation rates, and which are contained in their voluminous Final Report, addendums to the report and attachments (Consultant Report). Rate Order Findings and Action Based on the findings from the Consultant Report, the Consultants determined "that ComcasYs filed rates far equipment and installation are unreasonable and do not comply with the FCC rules and applicable law." The Consultant Report fiu found the rates should be lowered as listed on Page 3 of the attached Rate Order, based "upon the best information made available to them." The Consultant Report and subsequent Rate Order were issued nationally to the joint rate review government entities. The Rate Order requires that Comcast within 60 days from the effective date of the Order, "make all rate reductions and refunds that are necessary based on the rates" as listed on Page 3 of the Rate Order. Furthermore, Comcast shall refund all amounts charged to subscribers for equipment and installations that exceed the rates as listed by the Consultants. FCC Involvement Comcast has the legal right to appeal the City's Rate Order by appealing it to the FCC within 30 days of the Rate Order adoption. In the likely event that Comcast does appeal, the City has 15 days to submit their comments to the FCC. As this 1205 rate review process and Rate Order has been conducted by the City's Consultants on a national level, any appeal by the CiTy will be submitted jointly with the other rate review partners. Depending on how the FCC elects to review the Rate Order, appeals and reply, the Rate Order may be allowed to take effect within the 60 days, or stayed pending fixrther review by the FCC. �5-a�3 ORDER SETTING CABLE TELEVISION RATES FOR EQITIPMENT AND INSTALLATION PURSUANT TO FCC FORM 1205 FILED ON OR ABOUT MARCH 1, 2004 March 23, 2005 C�-a�3 Table of Contents I.

A. The Citv's Review of Comcast's National Form 1205 1. The City of Saint Paul ["Cit}�'] has lunited authority to regulate cable operator equipment and installation rates under applicable law and Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") regulations. The FCC has developed forms that an operator subject to regulation must file to justify equipment rates. 2. Comcast Cahle Communications, Ina ("ComcasY'), filed with the City FCC Form 1205, "Determining Regulated Equipment and Installation Costs, Bquipment Form"' ("2004 Form 1205"), on or about February 27, 2004, seeking the City's approval of a change in the masimum permitted rates for equipment and installation. 3. The filing Comcast made in the City was also submitted to other communities nationwide. Comcast relied on the same data in setting equipment and installation rates for all the communities that received the national filing. The City joined with other communities to hire financial consultants Ashpau� & Sculco, CPAs, PLC, and Front Range Consulting, Inc. ("Consultants"), to review the national Form 1205 filing. 4. After review of the materials submitted by Comcast, and detailed discussions and analysis of the issues raised, and using best available information when necessary, the Consultants developed recommendations and conclusions as to the recalculation of ComcasYs equipment and installation rates, which are contained in (a) the Final Report by Ashpau� & 1 t�5-��3 Sculco, CPAs, PLC And Front Range Consulting, Inc., to the Participating L,ocal Franchising AuYhorities Regazding The National FCC Form 1205 Filed by Comcast Cable Communicarions, Inc., in 2004 (January 2005), appended to this Order as Attachment 1("Final Report"); (b) Addendum to Final Report by Ashpaugh & Sculco, CPAs, PLC and Front Range Consulting, Inc., to the Participating L,ocal Franchising Authorities Regazding the National FCC Form 1205 Filed by Comcast Cable Communications, Inc., in 2004 (January 18, 2005), appended to this Order as Attachment 2("Addendum"); and (c) Errata to Final Report on the Comcast National Form 1205, appended to this Order as Attachxnent 3. 5. Comcast submitted comments on these documents on February 11, 2005 ("Comcast Comments"). The Comcast Comments are appended to this Order as Attachment 4. The Consultants submitted a response to these comments in February 2005 ("Supplemental Report"). That response is appended to this Oider as Attachment 5. The four Consultant documents aze referred to collectively herein as the "Consultant Reports." 6. FCC rules place the burden on the cable operator to prove that its existing rates for basic service and equipment are reasonable under applicable federal law and regulations. 47 C.F.R. § 76.937(a). The City has provided Comcast with ample opportunity to provide the necessary support for its rates. _ To the extent Comcast has failed to carry its burden of proof, the City may reject ComcasYs rates, set rates itself based on the best auailable information, and order refunds. See, e.g., Comcttst Cablevision of Tttllahassee, Inc.: Appeal of Local Rate Order of City of Tallahassee, Fla., DA 95-1561, 10 FCC Rcd 7686 at ¶� 28-29, 37, 48-49, and 54 (1995) ("Tallahassee"). 7. Having considered the record before it, the Consultant Reports, comments made by Comcast, and any comments made by the public, the City finds, based on the best 2 r�-a�3 information available to it, and for reasons set forth below and in the Consultaut Reports, that ComcasYs filed rates for equipment and installarion aze unreasonable and do not comply with FCC rules and applicable law. It furfller finds, for reasons set forth below and in the Consultant Reports, that the rates should be no higher than the rates in Column B, below. The rates in Column A are those proposed by Comcast.

As shown in the Supplemental Report, the Consultants identified a number of errors in the Form 1205 that Comcast neither disputes nor corrects. Supplemental Report, Part III.

C�•a�3 Final Report. These errors alone justify a finding that the Comcast proposed rates are unjust and unreasonable. 9. The Consultants proceeded to recommend rates based upon the best information available to them. The specific adjustments proposed (and resulting recommended rates) are reasonable in light of the informarion auailable. More specifically, Consultants made the following adjustments that Comcast disputed. A. Bonuses and Commissions 10. Comcast included as costs in its Form 1205 bonuses and commissions paid to its employees. Final Report at 15-16. The Consultants eliminated these wsts because Comcast failed to provide to provide proof that the bonus and commission payments were in fact related to Form 1205 regulated activities, despite requests that it provide such support. Final Report at 15-16. 11. Comcast argued in response that a general "Step A" factar based on salaries and wages was sufficient to properly allocate bonuses and commissions between regulated and unregulated equipment. Comcast Comments at 15. But there is no reason to suppose that any of the bonuses and commissions aze actually paid for acrivities properly recognized in the Form 1205, a predicate for allocation of any costs to the equipment basket. The company withheld inforxnarion the Consultants requested in order to determine under what circumstances bonuses and comxnissions were paid. Even if one assumed that some bonuses or commissions relate to equipment, there is no reason to suppose that the proportion in which bonuses or commissions are paid on regulated equipment is related to the proportion in wkrich overall salaries and wages relate to regulated equipment. The Comcast Comments do not justify ComcasYs allocation methodology, or justify rejection of the Consultants' recommendations. � (�•�y3 12. The Consultants also eliminated the bonuses and commission in light of unbundling concems. As the Consultants' Supplemental Report explains at 3-4, a series of FCC decisions has made clear that costs can be claimed in the operator's equipment basket "only if they were unbundled from the regulated progr3mming service rates or aze new costs incurred since the operator unbundled its equipment costs." See, e.g., TCI Cablevision of Oregon, Inc. d/b/a TCI of Tualatin Valley, Inc., DA 99-2227, 14 FCC Rcd. 17685 at ¶ 6(Cab. Serv. Bur. 1999); .Tones Communications of Georgia/South Carolina Inc. d1b/a Jones Communications, DA 04-2448 at ¶ 4(Au�. 4, 200G). 13. The Consultants' review of a number of 1994 Form 1205s indicated bonuses and commissions were not included in Form 1205s by a substantial number of systems covered by ComcasYs national filing. Final Report at 15. 14. The Comcast Comments do not dispute the fact that FCC rules prohibit Comcast from importing into the equipment basket any costs that were not inirially unbundled from the Basic Service Tier (`BST") rate without mal�ng a conesponding adjushnent to the BST rate to prevent double recovery. Rather, Comcast azgues that due to "changing business practices," the FCC's unbundling rules should not be applied. Comcast Comments at 8. Similaz azguxnents were raised and rejected in the Tualatin proceeding, and we conclude that they should be rejected here as well, for reasons indicated in the Tualatin decision and in the Consultants' Reports. 15. Comcast also suggests that "it is possible" that these costs are new costs not incurred at the time of the 1994 unbundling, and that it is possible that the costs were unbundled as part of some other adjustment, and not separately accounted for. Comcast Comments at 8. Comcast, however, provides no evidence to support either supposition, and hence fails to satisfy 5 D 5-� �3 its burden of proof, particulazly in liaht of its failure to provide informarion regarding past system unbundling. See Final Report at 15; Supplemental Report at 4-5. 16. The problems identified by Consultants, considered separately or together justified elisnination of the bonuses and commissions from rates. B. Maintenance and Bepair — Plant and Equipment 17. The Consultants' review of prior 1205s for systems covered by Comcast's filing indicates that many of the systems had not included Maintenance and Repair — Plant and Equipment ("M&R-PlanY') costs in the equipment basket, as would have occurred had the cost been unbundled from service rates. Comcast did not claim or show that M&R-Plant costs had been unbundled from service rates far all or even most of the systems covered by its filing; some of its responses to data requests indicated unbundling had not occurred uniformly. Comcast opposes the Consultants' unbundling adjushnent concerning M&R-Plant primarily on policy grounds. Its arguments are rejected, for reasons stated in Section II.A above and in the Consultants Reports. 18. Setting aside the unbundling problem, the M&R Plant costs Comcast included in rates were not supported. As explained in the Final Report, Section VIII.C, M&R-Plant costs are associated with both regulated and unregulated activities. Comcast developed an allocafion methodology for dividing costs among activities, and argues that its methodology was appropriate. Comcast Comments at 13-15. The Consultants argue, however, that the methodology in fact over-allocates costs to regulated equipment. Supplemental Report at 9-10. The City concludes ComcasYs methodology was not supported, and over allocates costs to the equipment basket, for reasons set out in the Consultants Reports. The unbundling problem G 05 a�3 identified by Consultants, considered separately or together with the allocation problem, justified elinuuation of the M&R-Plant costs from rates. C. Pavroll Ta%es 19. Since it was necessary to remove bonuses and commissions from Comcast's costs, the Consultants also eliminated a pro-rata share of payroll tases conesponding to the bonus and commission payments. Final Report at 17. The Comcast Comments do not appear to address this issue. D. Property Taxes and Insurance. 20. The Consultants disallowed certain property tases and insurance costs based on unbundling concerns similu to those discussed above, and Comcast opposed the unbundling adjustment for similar reasons. ComcasYs arguments are rejected, for reasons stated in Section II.A and B above and in the Consultants Reports. 21. In addition, the Consultants' review showed that Comcast had over-allocated property tas and insurance costs to regulated services. The issues (and ComcasYs comments) are identical to those discussed in connection with the M&R-Plant. For reasons suggested above, and in the Consultant Reports, see particularly Supplemental Report at 9-10, City finds ComcasYs allocations were unreasonable, even setting aside unbundling concerns. The unbundling problem identified by Consultants, considered separately or together with the allocation problem, justified elimuiation of the property taz and insurance costs. 7 osa�3 E. Miscellaneous Regulated Hours 1. Warehouse Personnel 22. The Consultants disallowed wazehouse personnel costs based on unbundling concerns similar to those discussed above. Comcast provides no reasonable ground for including costs it failed to unbundle, see Section II.A and B above and the Consultants Reports. 23. In addition, the Consultants initially concluded that the personnel costs had been included twice, once in Schedule B(recovering it in the Howrly Service Charge ("HSC")) and once in Schedule C(as a capitalized cost). The Comcast Coxnments state that Comcast did not in fact include any warehousing costs in Schedule C, but only on Schedule B. Comcast Comments at 16-17. The Consultants do not disagree. However, Consultants also state that the warehouse personnel cost estimate is not adequately supported. The City agrees, far reasons indicated in the Supplemental Report at 13-14. 24. Elimination of the costs was appropriate given the unbundling problems, considered separately or together with the failure to adequately support the costs. 2. Office Personnel 25. The Consultants identified a similaz unbundling concern with respect to office personnel costs. Final Report at 19. Comcast provides no reasonable ground for including costs it failed to unbundle, see Section II.A and B above and the Consultants Reports. 26. The Consultants also noted that Comcast had failed to adequately support the time estimates used to arrive at the office personnel costs. Comcast was asked to provide support for these estimates, including any studies performed, and to idenrify the individuals making the estimates. The Consultants noted that Comcast did not provide any of the requested infonmation, but merely stated that the company had used "past experience" — in effect, 0 �� d�G3 demanding that the City take ComcasYs estimates on faith. Final Report at 19. Thus, even assuming that office personnel costs had not been disqualified by the unbundling issue, Comcast failed to carry its burden of proof with respect to those costs. 27. Comcast aza ed that it had pxovided documents related to the office personnel costs in question. Comcast Comments at 17. The Consultants noted that Comcast broke down its office converter maintenance hours into three components, but failed to provide any supporting studies or detailed explanations, and failed to identify an individual responsible for ComcasYs brief estimate. The Consultants specifically asked Comcast to explain the high number of hours associated with this personnel category, but Comcast did not provide any support. Supplemental Report at 14-15. 28. Eliminarion of the costs was appropriate given the unbundling problems, and the failure of proof, considered separately or together. F. Installation Activity Hours 29. The Consultants' analysis of the 2004 Form 1205 revealed two problems with respect to the employee time required for installation activities: (1) a general lack of consistent support for ComcasYs employee tune estimates; and (2) failure to distinguish between tixne related to installation of subscriber premises equipment (inside the demarcation point), which is relevant to Form 1205 rates, and time related to activities outside the demarcation point such as installation of subscriber drops, which is not. The second problem resulted in an adjustment both to employee time and to contractar time reported by Comcast, and is discussed below in Section II.I. 30. With respect to the lack of support for employee installation times: fhe Consultants' Requests for Information ("RFIs") requested Comcast to provide support for the 7 � o�-a � 3 employee installafion times used by each of the sample systems. Final Report at 19-20. For most of the sample systems, Comcast provided a table of work tasks that used a point system. ComcasYs sample systems claimed that the work task tables were used by its technical personnel to develop the estimated times. Final Report at 20. In addition, Comcast supplied each sample system with a sheet showing the approximate installation times used by Comcast in the previous yeaz's rate filing, which was only for the former AT&T Broadband systems. It asked personnel to provide their own estunates of install time (although in more than half the cases, the guidance from corporate was accepted). Comcast also had data regarding contractor install times, which should have served as a check on the employee data. 31. This data pointed in varying directions. The Comcast Comxnents note that install times aze stable from year to year, yet Comcast's install time estimates in some cases varied significantly from historical data. The times resulting from use of point system data varied from local field estimates, even though the point system is used to schedule field work. Consultants sought information to explain the variance, and it was not provided. In short, as explained in the Final Report at 23-24 and the Supplemental Report at 5-8, given the significant problems with the data, ComcasYs failure to explain the variations from estimate to estimate, and the failure to separate out tasks properly included in the Forxn 1205 from those that are not properly included in the Form 1205, Comcast's install estimates could not be used without adjushnent. 32. The adjustments made to the install time were reasonable in light of the data available, and particularly in light of the company's failure to adequately explain its own data. Where point system data was sufficiently detailed, the Consultants used that data to adjust the tune for employee installations. The Consultants explained why that data appeazed most reliable, Supplemental Report at 7, and that explanation appears reasonable. ComcasYs 10 o5-a�3 objections to use of the data are not convincing: it claims that point system data was not sufficiently detailed for some systems, but the Consultants make it cleaz that only point system data that was detailed was used in maldng the adjustment. Comcast clauned its point system iypically excluded drive time, but there is evidence to the contrary. Supplemental Report at 7. Finally, Comcast complains that the point system was not designed for rate regulation, but fails to explain why this makes it less reliable. Even assuming that there are problems with the point system data, it appears to be the best data available for developing mare reasonable installation time estimates, and City therefore adopts the adjushnents recommended by the Consultants. G. Annual Emnlovee Labar Hours 33. Comcast reduced annual employee labor hours in the sample systems by 373 hours to reflect non-productive hours, such as sick leave, holidays, safety meetings, and general paperwork. Addendum at 1. The Consultants found that the support provided by Comcast for this component was out of date and was based on another operator's labor policies. Comcast admit as much. Addendum at 1-2, Comcast Comxnents at 12. 34. The Consultants included 224 non-productive hours, based on historical data from Comcast systems. Addendum at 1-2. Comcast argues this is unreasonable because under its policies employees may take between 224-304 paid hours off, depending on seniority. But as the Consultants explain, historical experience indicates less than half this tune is typically taken. Comcast also seems to complain that the Consultants estimate does not adequately account for administrative/training time, but the problem for Comcast is that it has not supported any time for those activities. The Consultants' historical data actually includes more time for trauung and administrative activities than did the TCI estimates on which the filing was based. The City finds that Comcast has failed to cany its burden of proof with respect to its claimed non- 11 05-��3 productive hours, and that the Consultants' adjustment to this figure is based on the best auailable information. H. Inside Wirin2 35. Comcast included in its 2004 Form 1205 calculation time spent on trouble calls related to inside wiring maintenance. But Comcast provides wire maintenance services in two ways: on an individual call basis, and pursuant to a wire maintenance plan program. The Consultants point out that under wire maintenance plans, Comcast does not simply maintain cable lines. It also maintains telephone and home network computer wiring. As far as the record shows, Comcast has made no effort to distinguish between calls related to its cable television plant and other inside wiring — it has included all wire maintenance trouble calls in the Form 1205 calculation. Comcast bills subscribers monthly for this service but has made no adjushnent to reduce inside wire costs by the revenue collected, even though Comcast has included the costs of services provided under the wire maintenance plans. 36. The record suggests that a substantial portion of ComcasYs subscribers may be taking the wire maintenance plans, and calling on Comcast to maintain non-cable wiring. Comcast does not claim that its trouble call reports included only cable-related calls. ComcasYs inclusion of non-cable related calls was error. The Consultants were therefore required to adjust ComcasYs estimates in order to ensure that Comcast did not include wire maintenance costs unrelated to regulated cable equipment. The Consultants elvninated fifty per cent (50%) of the i trouble calls from the Comcast data. Comcast does not propose an altemarive, or suggest that there is a more rational correction that could be made in light of the available data. Supplemental Report at 16. 12 05-�y� 37. Accordingly, the City finds that Comcast failed to support its estimates, and that the Consultants' adjustment to those estixnates was proper. I. Weighted Installafion Times 38. Tn dete*m�ning the average installarion times used in the Form 1205, Comcast used the installation tisne estimates only for Comcast in-house technical personnel, omitting the time estimates relating to ComcasYs contractors, even though ComcasYs infoxmation reveals that contractors perform approxixnately 54% of all of tl�e instzllation activities for the twenty sample systems. Final Report at 29. The Consultants proposed to adjust installation times to reflect a weighted average of time spent on installs by employees and time spent on installs by contractors. They concluded this adjushnent was necessary because contractor install times were substantially shorter than employee install times in most cases, Final Report at 29, so that a failure to average would overstate the normal time required to complete an installation, and over-recover costs. Final Report at 30 39. Comcast objects to inclusion of contractor installation rime because (it claims) contractor reported times do not include drive time. However, as the Supplemental Report points out, (a) the difference in times cannot be explained by drive time alone; and (b) elsewheze in the Form 1205, Comcast has treated its reported contractor install times as if those included drive tisne. For that reason alone, an adjustment appears to be appropriate, and given the treatment of the contractor hours elsewhere in the Form 1205, the Consultants' approach appeazs reasonable given the informarion available. 40. The Consultants made another adjustment to contractar-related instali costs (and employee-related install costs) to which Comcast objects. Under FCC regularions, regulated equipment — customer premises equipment — includes equipment inside a"demarcation poinY' 13 05-a�3 twelve inches outside the connection to the home. Installarion and other equipment costs outside that demazcation point belong to the network and cannot be charged to the subscriber as an equipment rate; rather, such costs aze recovered by Comcast through its rates for services. Final Report at 20-21. ComcasYs data responses indicate that its installation calculations included cost related to activities outside the demarcation point. Final Report at 25. 41. In order to remove these costs (and associated hours), the Consultants used the ratio of drop-related costs to total contractor labor costs from the review of ComcasYs 2003 Form 1205 filed with Montgomery County, Maryland. The Consultants modified the contractor labor costs in the 2004 Form 1205 based upon this eazlier Comcast data. Final Report at 27. 42. In its comments, Comcast appears to azgue that drop-related labor costs outside the demarcation point can be included in the Form 1205 under Comcast Cablevision of Tallahassee, Inc., 10 FCC Rcd. 7686 (1995). Comcast Comments at 16. Aowever, that decision at best permits an operator to choose between capitalizing drop labor costs in service rates, or recovering them through the Form 1205. Tallahassee at ¶¶ 34-37. As the Supplemental Report shows, Comcast has chosen the former approach, and cannot now seek to recover the costs through the Form 1205. See Supplemental Report at 11-13. Thus, under the Tallahassee rule, exclusion of drop labor costs was appropriate, and the Consultants' adjusUnent appears reasonable based on the information available. J. VCR Connections 43. Comcast included in its 2004 Form 1205 time esrimates for making VCR connections for the subscriber, both at the same time as an installation and as a separate trip. Final Report at 31. 14 05 a�3 44. The Consultants found that Comcast appeared to have included the activity of making VCR connections as part of its normal installation process, and thus no separate chazge is warranted. Comcast also failed to provide sufficient support for its clauned charge for a VCR connection as a sepazate installation. On that basis, the Consultants initially recommended that Comcast not be permitted to make a separate charge for VCR connections. Final Report at 31. 45. The Comcast Comments azgued that the company had in fact provided some lunited information about VCR connection costs and time estimates, and hence that the City should not eliminate any charge for VCR connections. Comcast Comments at 18-19. 46. The Consultants' Supplemental Report did not disa� that in principle subscribers could be charged for VCR connection, but noted that Comcast had not addressed the factual issue as to the inclusion of VCR connecrion costs in the normal installation rates charged to subscribers and hence the potenrial for double recovery. However, the Consultants noted that installers would be likely to incur some costs not otherwise recovered when they made separate trips for VCR connections. Thus, the Supplemental Report recommended a maximum permitted rate of $13.78 far VCR connections requiring a separate trip, but disallowed an additional charge as part of the normal installation process. Supplemental Report at 17. 47. The City finds that Consultants' revised recommendarions are reasonable in light of the record and ComcasYs failure to show that an addirional charge is warranted at the time of installation. However, Comcast may charge for VCR connection on a sepazate hip at the rate stated in the Supplemental Report. K. Customer Trouble Calls 48. ComcasYs 2004 Form 1205 included a separate charge for service calls where customer-owned equipment is at fault. Comcast estimated that such a service call averages 40 �5 o5-a�G3 minutes to complete. The Consultants, however, concluded that Comcast had provided no support for this activity either in its "point" system data or by specifically idenrifying time for the activity. Final Report at 31. 49. Absent some supporting information, the Consultants concluded it was only possible to include an amount that included drive time and a short time for customer interaction. Accordingly, the Consultants reduced Comcast's estimate by half. Final Report at 31. 50. The Consultants also identified a fiuther problem with ComcasYs "trouble call" chazge. Based on their review of the original 1994 filed Form 1205s, the Consultants do not believe that these costs were originally unbundled by Comcast. If they were not, Comcast is already recovering the costs associated with these trouble calls in its BST rates. However, as a conservative approach, given the absence of further information, the Consultants declined to eliminate this category entirely. Final Report at 32. 51. In response, Comcast suggested that a likely scenario for a trouble call of this type would involve more than twenty minutes' time. Comcast also stated that its technicians sometimes resolve problems for subscribers even when Comcast equipment is not involved. Comcast Comments at 18. The problem is that ComcasYs hypotheticals simply do not provide any substantive support for its result. Given the company's failure to provide any reasonable support for its estunate, and the unbundling issue, the choice is really between allowing no fvne for this activity, or a short time. The Consultants' choice of twenty minutes is reasonable under these circumstances. Supplemental Report at 16. L. DVR Converters 52. In several of the communities participating in the joint review of the national Form 1205, Comcast included a charge on its rate cazd for converters incorporating digital EC o�-au3 video recorders ("DVR"). However, Comcast did not provide support in its 2004 Form 1205 for such a chazge. The Consultants found that the costs of DVR converters were not included in the 2004 Form 1205 filing. Final Report at 32. 53. In its comments, Comcast claimed that the DVR chazge should actually have been classified as a service chazge. Comcast Comments at 19. However, DVRs aze equipment, and aze used to receive basic service. The chazge for the DVR is therefore appropriately regulated pursuant to the Form 1205. (Comcast has not shown that in fact it provides any service over and above the equipment in connection with DVR usage by subscribers. As the Consultants suggest, if there is a separate service, Comcast may be able to charge for it, but it cannot bundle service and equipment charges.) See Final Report at 32; Supplemental Report at 17. In light of the absence of any support for a DVR charge, the Consultants recommend allowing Comcast to charge subscribers the same amount it charges for addressable converters. As this is the equipment closest in kind to a DVR, that approach appears reasonable. 54. The City finds that Comcast has not supported an equipment charge far a DVR converter, and finds that Consultants have reasonably permitted Comcast to charge the same price it charges for addressable converters. Of course, nothing in this Order prevents Comcast from supporting a different charge for a DVR in its next filing. M. Unreturned Eauipment Char�e 55. The Consultants noted that Comcast had introduced, but not supported, a charge of $250 to subscribers for failure to return a CableCard. Final Report at 34. In its comments, Comcast azgued that chazges for unreturned equipment should not be calculated on Form 1205. Comcast Comments at 19. 17 o5-a �3 56. The FCC has recently zuled that a cable operator's fees for unretumed equipment aze not regulated pursuant to Form 1205, although they aze subject to regulation pursuant to local or state laws. Basic Cable Service and Equipment Rates of Charter Communications Entertainment I, LLC, St. Louis, MO (CLTID No. M00545): Appeal of Local Rate Order, File No. CSB-A-0720, Order, DA OS-392 at ¶¶ 4-5 (Media Bureau Feb. 14, 2005). Accordingly, this Order will not establish an amount for or othenvise regulate ComcasYs unreturned equipment chazges. See Supplemental Report at 18. However, the City is not endorsing Comcast's charge through ttus Order, and reserves all its rights to address such charges pursuant to state or local law. III. ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS OF CONSULTAN'I'S 57. The Consultants' investigation of the 2004 Form 1205 revealed a number of apparent errors and improprietieS in ComcasYs filing for which specific adjushnents could not be made. While these fmdings do not directly affect the rates set herein, they are noted below insofaz as they may affect future filings. A. Coutract Labor 58. Along with equipment-related costs incurred by its own employees, Comcast may recover on Form 1205 costs for contract labor. The Consultants found that Comcast did not use actual invoices to caiculate its contract labor costs. Instead, Comcast merely estimated the contract labor costs based on the number of installations contained in certain Comcast reports. It was uncleaz, however, whether all the activiries in this estimate were actually billed to Comcast. Final Report at 16. 18 os-a�3 59. Comcast refused to provide actual invoices for the Consultants' review. The fact that the Consultants were not given any real data to review zaises questions as to the accuracy of ComcasYs estimates. The Consultants recommend that Comcast be required to use actual invoices from the coniractor and allocate those invoices to rea lated and unregulated activities. Regulators would then be able to distinguish between "real" costs and hypothetical costs based upon unverified data. Final Report at 16. The City concludes this recommendation is reasonable, particulazly in light of problems in Comcast data that were identified. B. Samplina Issues 60. Under the pertinent statute and FCC rules, operators may make a single, national filing that sets charges for equipment and installation. But, rather than collect data from all its systems and use that data to set rates, Comcast examines data from a sample of systems. The accuracy of the samplvng methodology is thus critical to the reasonableness of the rates. 61. In its original 2004 Form 1205, Comcast did not provide the general description of inethodology and justification of reasonableness required by 47 C.R.R. § 76.923(c)(1). The Consultants asked Comcast to provide the required information. ComcasYs only response was to claim that its averaging methodology had already been approved by the FCC in TCI of Richardson, Inc.: Petition for Reconsideration of Bureau Order Resolving Loca1 Rate Appeals (CUID TX1228), Memorandum Opinion and Order on Reconsideratzon, 14 FCC Rcd. 11700 (1999) ("Richardson"). Final Report at 35. 62. Richardson, however, did not approve the specific methodology used by Comcast in the 2004 Form 1205. Richardson established that a sampling methodology could be acceptable. But the sampling methodology used in Richardson is different from that used in the 2004 Form 1205. The mere fact that a sample can be used, and the FCC's willingness to accept 19 b5-a U 3 the particulaz sampling used in Richardson, does not by itself establish whether Comcast's sample here was statistically valid. Final Report at 35-39. 63. The Consultants identified a number of potential problems with ComcasYs sampling methodology. Among other things, the Consultants compazed the equipment and instaIlation rates in the 2004 Form 1205 with Comcast's equipmeat aad instal2ation rates in other jurisdictions where Comcast did not use the national Form 1205, but rather used special local Forms 1205 instead. The differences found by the Consultants raise serious concerns that Comcast may be over-recovering its costs in converter rates and installation chazges and cast serious doubt on the revenue-neutrality of ComcasYs overall Form 1205 methodology. Final Report at 36, 40-41. Comcast responded to Yhe potential problem regarding the number of sample systems used, but then refused to produce documents that the Consultants requested in order to evaluate ComcasYs claims. 64. Due to the difficulty of obtaining tnnely and complete information from Comcast, as noted above, it does not seem to be practical to address the validity of the sampling methodology in the 2004 Forxn 1205 at this time. Thus, no adjushnents are made to ComcasYs rates in this Order based on the concems described in this Section III.B. The City does, conclude that there is good reason to examine this methodology if its is used in future filings, and to decide based on that exainivation whether to reject it or make any necessary corrections that may be pernutted under FCC regulations. C. Responses to Data Requests 65. A significant portion of the Final Report, Supplemental Report and ComcasYs Comments is devoted to ComcasYs responses — or failure to respond — to the Consultants' data requests. What is clear is that there were many cases in which Comcast failed to produce data, 20 05-a�3 even where it had produced compazable data in response to Form 1205s for other communities in the past (and for the current year). For example, even setting aside disputes with respect to the form in which certain invoices were produced, Comcast appears to have failed to produce even documents it said it would produce. See, e.g., Supplemental Report at 21. It is also clear that the requests were not unreasonable gven appazent problems with Comcast's other bQOks, records and representations, as suggested by the Consultants' discussion of cable modem costs. 66. We recognize that this is Comcast's first national filing. However, the City concludes that ComcasYs responses aze fairly taken into account in deciding whether the recommendations of the Consultants are reasonable based on the best information available. Further, the City puts Comcast on notice that it should respond promptly and fully to requests for information in connection with future filings, in a way designed to pemut the City to conduct a review of documents. It should take steps to ensure that it can perform consistent with this paragraph. If it fails to do so, it may be subject to any remedies permitted under the City's franchise or applicable law. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES TT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT: 67. Comcast's maaiimum permitted rates for equipment and installation aze hereby set in accardance with the rates calculated in the Consultants' Report and (with respect to VCR Connect (Separate Trip)) the Supplemental Report, as set forth in the table at paragraph 7, above. The rates set herein _will govern Comcasfs equipment and installation rates until Comcast lawfully implements a fiu rate change pursuant to applicable law. 68. Except as otherwise noted herein, the City adopts the recommendations and the rationale for the recommendations made by Consultants. 21 v5-a � 3 69. It is uncleaz whether Comcast has implemented the basic-only converter rate for which it filed in the 2004 Form 1205. To the extent it has not done so, the greater refund due to such failure to implement the filed rate shall be included in the requirements for reductions and refunds established herein. In addition, Comcast shall, along with the certification required by ¶ 72, file a complete explanarion of its failure to isnplement the basic-only converter rate. 70. As soon as possible, but in any event within s�ty (60) days from the effective date of this Order, Comcast shall make all rate reductions and refunds that are necessary based on the rates shown above. Comcast shall refund all amounts charged to subscribers for equipment or installations that exceed the maYimum permitted amounts specified herein in accordance with 47 C.F.R. § 76.942(d), and shall include interest computed at applicable rates published by the Internal Revenue Service for tas refunds and additional taac payments, pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 76.942(e). 71. Any charges for equipment, installation, or other services based on an hourly rate shall reflect an HSC no greater than the maacunum pernussible HSC shown above. 72. Comcast shall file with the City within ninety days from the date of this Order a certification, signed by an authorized representative of Comcast, stating whether Comcast has complied fully with all provisions of this Order, describing in detail the precise measures taken to implement this Order. 73. Comcast may chazge rates less than the masimum rates indicated above for equipment and installation, as long as such rates are consistent with applicable law and are applied in a uniform and nondiscrimniatory way, pursuant to applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations. 22 os-��3 74. The rates set herein aze subject to further reducrion and refund to the extent pertnitted under applicable law and regulations, as the same may be amended from time to time. 75. The findings herein aze based on the representarions of Comcast. Should informarion come to the City's attention that these representarions were inaccurate in any material way, the City reserves the right to take appropriate acrion. This Order is not to be construed as a finding that the Gity has accepted as correct any specific entry, calculation, explanation or argument made by Comcast not specifically addressed herein. 76. The City reserves all of its rights with respect to rate regulation, including, but not limited to, any right it may have to reopen this rate proceeding based on new information or rulings by any governing authority, if it appears that such new information or rulings could alter the reasonable rates prescribed by FCC regulations, and any right it may have to "true up" overcharges or undercharges in connection with fizture rate filings pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 76.922(e)(3). 77. This Order constitutes the written decision required by 47 C.F.R. § 76.436(a). 78. This Order sha11 be effective March 23, 2005. 79. This Order shall be released to the public and to Comcast, and a public notice shall be published stating that this Order has been issued and is available for review, pursuant to 47 C.F.R § 76.936(b). � Date i 5128',011Q0107495.DflC 23 05-d�13 ATTACHMENT 1: FINAL REPORT BY ASHPAUGH & 5CULCO CPAs, PLC AND FRONT RANGE CONSULTING, INC., TO TI3E PARTICIPATING LOCAL FRANCHISING AUTHORITIES REGARDINC� THE NATIONAL FCC FORM 1205 FILED BY COMCAST CABLE COMMUNICATIONS, INC., IN 2004 (WTI`H APPENDICES) �� d�3 Final Report � Ashpaugh & Sculco, CPAs, PLC and Front Range Consulting, Inc.

INTRODLiCTION Front Range Consulting, Inc. Ashpaugh & Sculco, CPAs, PLC ("A&S") and Front Range Consulting, Inc. ("FRC") (collectively "Consultants") are pleased to provide the participating Local Franchising Authorities ("participating LFAs") this final analysis of Comcast Cable Communications, Inc.'s ("ComcasY') nariona12004 FCC Form 1205 (the "Filing"). Each participaring LFA has contxacted with the Consultants to share in the wsts of the Consultants' analysis and review of the Comcast Form 1205 filing, and each participating LFA has been specifically granted the right by the Consultants to use this fmal report as part of and support for its individual rate order. II. EXECLiTIVE SLIMMARY The Consultants have identified numerous issues and concerns with the Filing that are explained in detail below. Briefly, Comcast has included in the Filing costs that were not originally unbundled from service rates in 1994; has included contract labor costs for acrivities outside of twelve inches from the subscriber's residence; has generally not met its burden of proof with regard to the estimated times associated with installarion activities; has improperly eliminated coniractor installarion rimes from the estimated installation times; and has improperly included costs associated with digital converters in the basic-only converter category. The Consultants do not believe that the Form 1205 as filed by Comcast can serve as a reliable basis for setting equipment and installarion rates for the participaring LFAs. Comcast has also ignored Federal Communications Commission ("RCC") precedents and Form 1205 instructions? The Consultants have had to correct these significant enors and omissions in the Comcast filing by using data supplied by Comcast, together with data developed from other reliable sources where Comcast has failed to provide detailed support. The Consultants have spent considerable time and effort in reviewing the Filing by propounding numerous data requests, responding to correspondences from Comcast, reviewing individual invoices supporting the Schedule B operating costs, developing electronic spreadsheets mirroring the Comcast sample system methodology, and responding to ComcasYs Petirion for Declaratory Ruling at the FCC. The Consultants have spent nearly 1,000 man-hours on this review. In large part, this has been due to the need to repeatedly request the same information because of ComcasYs failure to respond to the Consultants' attempts to get some form of supporting documentation for the costs, estimates and procedures used by Comcast in the Filing. As will be discussed below, in many cases Comcast still has not provided the necessary support. ` A complete listing of all of the LFAs participating in this review project is contained on Attachment A to this report. Z For example, Comcast has included subscriber drop costs in the contract labor costs, which is prohibited by the Form 1205 instrucrions. See FCC inshvctions for the Fonn 1205 Schedule C"note."

The Consultants believe that they have spent more time and effort on reviewing the Comcast Filing than would have been necessary if Comcast had: (1) spent the time and effort to review the individual cost components prioz to filing; (2) been willing to provide all documentation necessary to support the Filing; and (3) been willing to work in a cooperative spirit with the participating LFAs and the Consultants in completing this review. Each of these failures by Comcast has required the Consultants to attempt to verify data that should have been done by Comcast prior the Filing and seazch for documentation and support from other sources. In particulaz, the Consultants have had to make extra efforts in attempting to retrieve FCC Form 1205s filed by cable operatars in 1994 in order to assess the unpact of those costs not originally unbundled by the operator in the determinafion of service rates in 1994 — costs that Comcast refused to identify. The rates shown in Appendix B to this report were developed by the Consultants using the same methodology employed by Comcast, namely the use of data for the twenty sample systems selected by Comcast and the sample methodology of used Comcast consultant Dr. Hannum in the deternunation of the Consultants' revised FCC Form 1205. The Consultants still believe that the sampling methodology used by Comcast is itself suspect and may contain staristically invalid results. However, given ComcasYs efforts to withhold much of information necessary to determine if the sample were valid, the Consultants were not able to reach a final conclusion on that point or to use an alternative methodology. The Consultants anticipate that Comcast will be afforded an opportunity to comment on this Report. Such comments may succeed in clarifying some of ComcasYs responses to data requests. But Comcast should not be allowed to provide missing supporting documentation in such a connment period. Comcast has already been provided ample opportunity to provide supporting documentation in response to the Consultants' requests. The company chose not to provide it. Comcast should not be allowed to abuse the rate review process by submitting data during a comment period that it withheld during the Consultants' review. Any additional informarion offered by Comcast in response to this report should be rejected if it represents merely an attempt to "pad" the record and make the review process longer and more cosfly. The Consultants appreciate the openness of our participaring LFAs in joining and sharing in the cost of this review of the Filing. The Consultants believe that this type of cost sharing will benefit subscribers by ensuring a thorough review of the narional Form 1205 and wiIl streamline the regulatory review process. The Consultants hope that Comcast will be more forthcoming in fuhue reviews by preparing necessary supporting detail and providing timely responses to data requests.

SLIMMARY OF ISSi.IES IDENTIFIED The Consultants have identified rivo general issues and fourteen specific issues with respect to the Comcast Filing. The two general issues are: • Comcast has ignored the FCC's precedent on the unbundling of existing costs in the Form 1205 that are currently part of the basic service tier rates; and • Comcast has not provided necessary support and documentation for the many of the costs and estimates used in the Filing and thus has failed to meet its burden of proof. The fourteen specific issues are related to: • Bonuses and Commissions; • Contract Labor; • Maintenance & Repair — Plant and Bquipment; • Payroll TaYes; • Property TaYes; Page 5 of 42 January, 2005 � Ashpaugh & Sculco, CPAS, PLC and Front Ra¢ge Consulriug, Ina Nl rights reserved.

Each of these issues will be discussed in detail below. V COMCAST NATIONAL FORM 1205 METHODOLOGY The Form 1205 Filing was made with some local franchising authoriries on or about March 1, 2004, and with most of the others on or about April l, 2004. The participating LFAs include some that received filings on each date. Comcast prepared its Filing using the FCC's Equipment Averaging Methodology. This is the first rime Comcast has used the FCC Equipment Averaging Methodology for its costs associated with equipment and installarion acrivities from the entire company. In last year's Form 1205 filings, Comcast used both an aggregated filing for the former AT&T Broadband systems and regional/local filings for the old Comcast systems. It should be noted, however, that while Comcast has included costs of its entire company in the Filing, some individual Form 1205s using local or regional data were still filed by Comcast in 2004. Moreover, in New Jersey, no Form 1205 filing was made, since in that state Comcast is under the terms of a rate settlement — terms that Comcast Aas refused to 3 The City of Murfreesboro, TN received its filing based on regional data on 7une 1, 2004. ° See 47 U.S.C. § 543(a)(n; 47 C.F.R. § 76.923(c); and Implementarion of Secrion 301(j) of the Telecommunicarions Act of 1996, Aggregation of Equipment Costs by Cable Operators, Report and Order, I1 FCC Rcd 6778 (1996) (the "Aggregation Order"). 5 For e�mple, in 2004 Comcast filed a local 1205 in Detroit, Michigan, Muncie and Huntington, Indiana and a regional 1205 in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

T'he Consultants continue to be concerned that the terms of the set[lement in New Jersey may be inconsistent with the Filing and that the narional filing may be subsidizing the equipment and installation rates in New Jersey. The Consultants believe that Comcast cannot prepare both a regional and national Form 1205 filing for the same test year. This would allow Comcast to potentially over-recover its costs for the equipment and installation rates. In the 2004 Filing, Comcast prepared a narional Form 1205 calculation utilazing data from across ComcasYs entire company. For some of the participating LFAs, this is the first flme Comcast has used a national filing. For others, such as the former AT&T Broadband systems, this is the eighth such narional filing. Nafional filings aze much harder to zeview and analyze than local filings, as each LFA is not just reviewing its own individual Comcast system but rather must consider the combinarion of systems comprising over twenty million subscribers. Comcast prepared this filing by selecting a sample of its systems and using a statistical methodology, developed estimates for the entire company. The starisrical methodology chose twenty sample systems based upon the size of the systems, not on their geographical locations. For these twenty sample systems, Comcast then invesrigated the percentage of time the technical personnel were assigned to regulated activifies such as installations, the costs associated with those activiries, and the average installarion rimes. From these individual sample system reviews, Comcast develops average times for each of the installarion activities and a dollar amount of regulated costs. The latter amount is called an "end amounY' in the Comcast methodology. In developing the "end amounP' Comcast looks at the assignment of all of the sample system costs and assumes that these costs ate consistent across a11 systems contained in the individual subscriber size categories. While this sampling methodology has been used previously by Comcast for the former AT&T Broadband systems, the sampling methodology has never been challenged as to its reasonableness by an LFA, nor has the FCC approved the methodology. The FCC has stated that a cable operator can use a sampling methodology, but has not endorsed the Comcast methodology. The Comcast methodology is significantly different from the former AT&T Broadband methodology with respect to the treatment of contract labor, and also with respect to the items included on Schedule B(Operating Expenses) included in the Form 1205 filing. Therefore, while Comcast's methodology is similar to the former AT&T Broadband methodology, it is not the same. VI. CONSLII,TAIV'TS' REVIEW PROCESS The Consultants approached a number of local franchising authoriries in early 2004 in preparation for the Filing to determine their interest in a joint review. Once several LFAs had committed to the project, ComcasYs legal counsel was advised of this project, and the Consultants were directed by Comcast to send their informarion requests to ComcasYs preparer of the national Form 1205 in Philadelphia.

The Consultants began the Request for Informarion ("RFP') process shortly after the initial group of participating LFAs was organized. The initial data request, which was transmitted to Comcast on May 21, 2004, was limited to 22 individual questions basically asldng for fundamental supporting data not contained in ComcasYs initial rate filing. As is common in a rate review, the initial RFI was designed to gather some of the supporting data used by Comcast to arrive at the numbers included in the narional Form 1205. Once the supporting data had been reviewed, it would be possible to submit more detailed follow-up questions addressing the specific responses to the initial RFI. Comcast responded to the initial request on June 21, but did not provide the requested information or support in most of its responses. As a rule, Comcast simply stated that the requested information was not relevant and refused to provide it. In the Consultants' view, Comcast abused rate regulation procedures by not responding to reasonable and necessary data requests issued by the participaring LFAs as part of their review of the Piling. In effect Comcast claimed a right to decide unilaterally what infortnation requests were "reasonably necessary" and/or relevant. In subsequent requests, Comcast was reminded that by not providing the requested informarion and supporting documents, Comcast was waiving any right it might have to challenge the "best available" informarion used by the participating LFAs to evaluate the Filing and to establish rates. In implemenring the rate regulation provisions of the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Compefition Act of 1992 (the "1992 Act"), the FCC issued an order specifying how local franchising authorities may seek additional and supplemental information from the cable operators in the course of their review of a rate filing. The Third Order on Reconsideration' specifies that: Franchising authorities are entitled to request information, including proprietary information, that is reasonably necessary to make a rate determination ... Each request should state clearly the reasons the informarion is needed, and where related to and FCC Form 393 (and/or FCC Form 1200/1205), indicate the question or section of the form to which the request specifically relates. This specificity will enable franchising authoriries to ensure the validiry of the informarion provided in order to arrive at a determinarion of the reasonableness of the rates proposed, while at the same time ensuring that the cable operators are not required to provide addirional data that is not germane to the rate-setting process. Third Order on Reconsideration at ¶ 77. The Consultants have met this standazd in their requests for informarion. The RFIs detailed the reasons for the requests and the sections of the national Form 1205 to which they related.

I3onetheless, Comcast refused to provide the requested information and support. Instead, the company filed a petirion with the FCC asking to be excused from answering these legitimate requests. Historically, disputes witk regazds to requests for information have been addressed in the appeal process, and not in an interlocutory plea to the FCC. ComcasYs filing of a Petirion for Declazatory Ruling sought to short-circuit the normal process by asking the FCC to become involved before any of the resulting analyses and conclusions could be addressed by the participating LFAs 9 ComcasYs FCC filing was the culxnination of a process in which the Comcast failed to show the kind of "full cooperation" that the FCC has said is required from a cable operator. For instance, in Century Southwest Cable Television Corp., 9 FCC Rcd 2423 (City of West Hollywood, CA), DA 94-489 at (Cab. Serv. Bur. 1994) the FCC stated: We recognize that Century's own conduct contributed to West Hollywood's ultimate decision to set Century's installation rates at zero. We emphasize that the Comxnission eacpects cable operators to do their best to facilitate the efficient and effecrive review of proposed rates by local franchising authorifies. This effort should include full cooperation with reasonable requests by local authorities for data in support of asserted costs and rates. Our rate regulations are clear in placing the burden on operators to justify their regulated rates for basic tier service and associated equipment and installations. Therefore, uncooperative and recalcitrant conduct will not be tolerated by the Commission and need not be tolerated by local franchising authorities. The FCC was confronted with a similar to that in Century Southwest Cable Televiszon Corp. dispute in a 1995 order regarding Centmy New Mexico. There, the Commission stated: Franchising authorities are given a certain amount of discretion in conducting their regulatory review. Cable operators have the burden of establishing the reasonableness of their rates that are subject to regulafion. If a franchising authority determines that an operator has not met that burden, it may set an operator's rates based on the best informarion available. In reviewing a rate filing, a franchising authority may require an operator to provide a reasonable explanafion for the figures contained in its rate filing and may also ask for supporting documentation to substantiate the figures. Operators are required to respond to reasonable requests from franchising authorities in a timely fashaon. If a franchising authority does not receive a sarisfactory response or zeceives no response at all, it may rely on the best information available.

Town's decision if we find it was reasonable. To deteimine if the Town's decision was reasonable, we must analyze the decision in its proper context. In making the two changes to Century's rate filing that aze challenged in this appeal, the Town determined that Century had not provided an adequate explanarion or an appropriate justification for its own equipment-related figures.l l In that case the FCC had before it the entire record and thus was able to address how the disputed informarion fit into the LFA's rate deterxninafion. Comcast has abused the data collection process by being less than forthcoming with respect to its responses to the RFIs, and by ignoring clear and longstanding FCC mles and orders. For example, rather than providing requested explanations or materials, Comcast has frequently submitted nothing more than a terse, uninformarive cross-reference. The following exchange between the Consultants and Comcast is a case in point (but by no means an isolated incident). In the Consultants' August 24, 2004 request zegarding the Trenton sample system, question 8 asked: Please explain in detail the `Bonus" amounts shown on "FCC Form 1205 Schedule B Details For Year Ended December 31, 2003" worksheet. Include with the description ComcasYs Bonus plan and employee eligibility requirements. Comcast responded on September 13, 2004 with: Please see the attached Exhibit 1205 8 082404, the General Ledger for accounts 41130 and 41140, Bonus and Contra Payroll Bonus, respecrively. That response by Comcast to this request, along with similar responses to questions 9, 10 and 11 for each of the 20 sample systems (a total of 80 responses), is typical of the selective, vague and uninformative responses submitted by Comcast. The RFI asked Comcast to "explain in detail"; no such explanation was provided. The information provided on Eichibit 1205 8 082404 was nothing more than a monthly listing of the amounts charged to the bonus account contained in the geperal ledger. At best, it shows the monthly charges each month for 2003 comprising the � amount shown on the sample system Schedule B worksheet. The Consultants were concerned at the time of the request that either the technical personnel involved were not eligible for bonuses, or that the requirements for gaining a bonus had nothing to do with equipment or installation activities. Because of ComcasYs failure to cooperate and to provide a clear answer, the Consultants are still without any information as to the bonus eligibility requirements and the t ' Century New Mexico Cable Corporarion, Town of Silver City, 10 FCC Rcd 9403 at ¶ 9(Cab.

Comcast bonus plan with respect to these specific costs, which are included in the narional Form 1205. Notwithstanding ComcasYs uncooperative behavior, the Consultants took an extraordinary step in an attempt to resolve ComcasYs objections to the inirial and supplemental RFIs submitted to Comcast on May 21, 2004, July 9, 2004, and July 22, 2004. On August 4, 2004, the Consultants provided Comcast with a letter responding to ComcasYs objecrions raised as of that rime. The letter stated: "In order to give Comcast a final attempt at responding to these valid RFIs, we have grouped all of our questions to which you have objected into broad categories and have gone to the extraordinary effort of again providing not only the `reason for the requesY and the `secfion o£ the form' it relates to, but also a detailed explanafion of the hypotheses we are trying to prove or disprove by these requests." ComcasYs response to this effort by the Consultants was a letter dated August 18, 2004, in which Comcast lazgely reiterated its previous positions and provided no new informarion. 1 : 1� � _1� Question 2. (from the May 21, 2004 Request for Additional Informarion) ComcasYs National 1205 includes the following costs in Schedule B: Salaries — Regular, Salaries — Overtime, Salaries — Bonuses, Salaries — Commissions, Uriliries, Contract Labor, Building Maintenance, M&R — Converter, Rentals/Lease Expense, Vehicles — Gas & Oil, Vehicles — Gas & Oil, Vehicles — Repairs & Maintenance, Employee Benefits, Payroll Taxes, M&R— Equipment, Parts Supplies Small Tools, Property Tases and Insurance. Please provide a signed letter from an officer of Comcast certifying that ALL of these cost categories were unbundled in Schedule B in each and every original 1205 filed on or about August 12, 1994 by Comcast and its predecessor's in interest with each of the LFAs where this National 1205 was filed. Response: Comcast has addressed this information request in numerous responses. Most recently, in our response dated July 28, 2004, we went to great length to explain why it is virtually impossible to comply with this request. Addirionally, we expressed our belief that a"signed letter from an officer of Comcast certifying that ALL of these cost categories were unbundled in Schedule B in each and every original 1205 filed on or about August 12, 1994 by Comcast and its predecessor's in interesY' is NOT required by existing FCC rules and regulations. We went on to provide a list of Schedule B costs that were unbundled by predecessors in interest TCUAT&T Broadband and a list of the Schedule B costs that were unbundled by the "classic" Comcast systems i.e. systems that have been owned and operated by Comcast since the inception of cable regulation.

This response is indicative of ComcasYs belief that it may unilaterally decide what information it will provide to the participating LFAs, even though the relevancy and need for the information has been clearly explained. Such a position would effectively render the regulation of basic service, equipment and installafion rates meaningless, because cable operators will feel free to withhold the information required to gauge whether filed rates comport with the FCC's rules, orders and decisions. It should also be noted that Comcast also attempted to thwart the participating LFAs' review of the narional Form 1205 by making the RFI process an unnecessarily rime-consuming and burdensome "paper war." The Consultants expressed a desire to meet and discuss the initial RFI requests with Comcast, so that the company could provide informarion responsive to the requests and address any confusion or discrepancies before assembling the necessary informarion. Comcast refused to have this meefing and instead prepazed its responses without the benefit of such informal discussions. Comcast's preference for confrontarional paper battles over a straightforward attempt to resolve any issues reached its lowest point on one occasion where Comcast asked that the Consultants not fas or e-mail data requests, but rather transmit them by United States mail, for no apparent reason but with the effect of delaying the receipt and fulfillment of requests. ComcasYs recalcitrant approach to RFIs thus impeded the review process and effectively shortened the time available for the Consultants to review materials submitted by Comcast. The specific quesrions objected to by Comcast regazding the Filing were the second and third attempts to get necessary information from Comcast. Thus, the delay Comcast created by the filing at the FCC compounded the delay Comcast had already created by failing to answer the questions the first time. The Consultants specifically requested Comcast to provide all invoices supporting the amounts claimed in Schedule B for each of the 20 sample systems. For example, regarding the Fresno system, these requests were numbers 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21. Comcast responded with the following statement in regard to each quesrion —"Comcast will provide the requested documents after we have retrieved the documents from our data storage systems and copied them for transmittal." This is not what Comcast did. Comcast never actually provided the copies. It should be noted that several of the above requests had additional components to which Comcast never responded. For Fresno, requests 19 and 21 were as follows: 19. Please provide detailed invoices and specific facilifies covered by the insurance policies totaling $522,843.99 of insurance expense shown on "FCC Form 1205 Schedule B Details For the Year Ended December 31, 2003." 21.

Personal property taxes of $4,263,600.82: and, Real properiy taYes of -$981.38. The only response from Comcast was the statement quoted above plus copies of the General Ledger pages showing each of the individual accounts. Comcast has never provided copies of the invoices or specific supporting details for these two requests. As described below, the Consultants never envisioned and Comcast never disclosed the cumbersome process for reviewing the invoices. Comcast had to identify, and probably copy, the invoices in order to set up the system that was used. Comcast could have easily made a copy of the documents for the Consultants, but chose a more difficult and unwieldy system. ComcasYs process for reviewing the invoices did not work well and was very cumbersome. No instructions on how to use the system were provided other than a simple email. The "search" and "docuznents located" functions for the individual invoice searches had options that were not explained and had to be "found" by the Consultants There were significant delays waiting for downloads of the requested information through ComcasYs network. The Consultants had to specifically know what they were looking for, by system and account number. The system did not pernut them to go through and see what documents were available, then choose what they wanted to see. The Consuitants had to enter the information manually for each account of each sample system (the invoices totaled several thousand for each sample system), then wait for the seazch, which always took 15 seconds or more. When the result appeared, the Consultants could only see one page at a time and had to wait for the computer to load each page. Even this procedure only produced a list of documents. The Consultants next had to select a specific invoice from the list and wait another 15 seconds or more for the "pdf' document to download. Again, only the first page was displayed; the Consultants had to manually request the softwaze to provide "all" pages. If the Consultants wanted a copy, the Consultants had to go to "prinY' and wait another 15 seconds or more for the print function to complete before the cornputer could be freed up to move to the next item. In order to move to the next item, the Consultant had to go back to the list and start again. There seemed to be an option to choose multiple documents, but it was impossible to figure out how this worked since instructions were not provided. In the two days spent on this review at ComcasYs office in Leesburg, Florida, the Consultants were only able to sample the data of the available systems. Reviewing all of the thousands of pages of invoices for each sample system using ComcasYs procedures would have taken many months. The Consultants were unable to access any data for the following eight sample systems: E332 Wildwood, E840 Trenton, A54 Chesapeake Bay, EK32 New England East, E858 Montgomery County, E346 Connecticut, E868 Vineland and B56 Ann Arbor. While Comcast was informed of this problem, Comcast has srill never made the missing informarion available. VII. LINBLINDLING ISSLIES When the FCC established the rate regulatory process, it required the cable operators to "unbundle" costs associated with equipment and installation chazges. In essence, the unbundling process looked at the total amount recovered in rates from the subscriber, then subtracted out the Page 13 of 42 January, 2005 � Ashpaugh & Sculcq CPAs, PLC and Front Range ConsulnnPo Inc.

This established a relationship between costs recovered through pro�.*�m;ng and those recovered through the equipment basket (equipment rates and installarion chazges). The FCC has been clear in orders since then that any costs included in service rates moved into the equipment basket must be unbundled, requiring a corresponding adjustment to service rates. In fact, during the Consultants' review, the FCC released a decision confinning the validity of the unbuadling issue and the authority of local franchising authorities to invesrigate unbundling calcularions. This decision confirmed the FCC's eazlier deternunation in TCI of Tualatin Yalley. Notwithstanding clear FCC precedent on unbundling, Comcast's responses to the Consultants' quesrions maintained that invesrigation of unbundling was unnecessary. (See the request and response provided above on page 12 under VI, Consultants' Review Process.) On the contrary, the FCC's recent decision in Jones of Georgia/South Carolina makes clear that such informarion is relevant and necessary and must be provided to a local franchising authority upon request. The Consultants need to have the same ability to evaluate unbundled costs in the instant national Form 1205 review as the rate regulatory authority did in the Jones of Georgia/South Carolina proceeding in order to prepare its recommendarion to the participating LFAs. For this reason, the Consultants had hoped that Comcast would modify its claims as to the reasonableness of the data request on the unbundling issue as a result of the Jones of Georgia/South Carolina decision. Comcast, however, has continued to ignore the FCC's rulings on this issue. Since Comcast refused to provide the requested irformation, the Consultants asked each of the participating LFAs to provide copies of the original Forms 1200 and 1205 from August 1994 that idenrified the unbundling. In some cases, the participating LFAs could not locate the forms and asked Comcast to provide copies. However, Comcast's local offices informed these participating LFAs that they had instrucrions to refer these quesrions to ComcasYs regulatory personnel in Philadelphia. Comcast did not provide the copies. Comcast was also requested to provide copies of the original 1205s of each of the sample systems. Comcast provided copies from a few of the samples. The Consultants' review of all of the original Form 1205s gathered showed a large variety of costs unbundled. In some 1994 1205s, only unbundled small amounts of salaries and benefits 14 See.7ones Communications of Georgia/South Carolina, Inc. d/6/a Jones Communications (Savannah and Chatham County, Georgia}, DA 042448 (August 4, 2004}. ' See TCI Cablevision of Oregon, Inc. d/b/a TCI ofTualatin Yalley, Inc., DA 99-2227 (Cab. Serv. Bur. 1999). 16 The Commission's Order stated: "Therefore, even if the costs at issue aze bona fide, they can be claimed in the equipment basket only if they are unbundled from the regutated programming service rates or are new costs mcurred since the operator unbundled its equipment costs. If an operator shifts existing costs from the BST to the equipment basket after the inirial unbundling but without adjusring the BST rate, the operator may be recovering the cost twice, once through the BST rate and again through the equipment basket " Jones Communications of Georgia/South Carodina, Inc. at ¶ 4(footnote omitted).

The former AT&T Broadband/TCI systems consistenfly did not unbundle commissions, bonuses, maintenance and repair costs of plant and equipment other than converters, property taxes and insurance.� Obviously, these were costs in 1993 and 1994 and are not new costs. Thus, eliminating these costs from the national Form 1205 Filing, since they were not unbundled originally, is consistent with the FCC decisions in TCI of Tualazin YaZZey and Jones of Geargia/South Carolina. VTII. DLSCLISSIONS OF ISSi.IES IDENTiFIED As discussed above, the Consultants analysis identified a number of specific problems with the Filing. The following sections discuss each of the identified concerns and, where necessary, explain the adjustments to the Filing that were needed to arrive at a proper determination of equipment rates and installation charges and is continuing to do so. Thus, including them in the narional Form 1205 Piling would result in a double recovery. A. BONLISES / COMMISSIONS Comcast has included bonuses and commissions in the 1205 costs. First, these are costs that were not unbundled by a majority of the systems, including the former AT&T Broadband/TCI systems and the TKR systems. The Consultants reviewed a number of 1994 Form 1205s and concluded that these items, bonus and commissions, do not appear to be part of the Schedule B amounts shown. As a result, Comcast was able to recover these bonuses and commissions from subscribers in service rates. In addition, Comcast has not shown that the bonuses and commissions are actually related to regulated acrivities. Comcast was requested to provide the following for each of the twenty sample systems: Please explain in detail the "Bonus" amounts shown on the "FCC Form 1205 Schedule B Details For the Yeaz Ended December 31, 2003" worksheet. Include with the description the ComcasYs bonus plan and employee eligibility requirements. Please describe and provide detail accounting records showing the payment basis for the "Commissions" shown on "FCC Form 1205 Schedule B Details For the Yeaz Ended December 31, 2003".

Please see the attached Exhibit_1205_a ��, the General Ledger for account number 41150, Commissions. [Here "a" indicates the number of the request and "xxxxsx" the date of the request.] Other than these terse and uuiuformative cross-references, Comcast did not respond to the request. It did not provide the explanations, the description, the payment basis or the employee eligibility requirements requested by the Consultants. Comcast has the burden of showing that these amounts relate to Form 1205 acrivities and has not met that burden of proof. Comcast did not provide any "description of the bonus or commission plan" as requested. The Consultants believe that such bonus and commission plans are not tied directly to acrivities such as installarions and are therefore not includable in the Form 1205. As Comcast has not met its burden of proof with regazd to these rivo items, the Consultants have eliminated all of these costs. r •.rr;: _:�� Contract labor costs account for the second lazgest cost element after salaries and benefits included in the Schedule B items. Yet Comcast has not used any actual invoices for this significant cost element, but rather has estimated the costs based on the number of installations contained in the "Field Data Reports" and the cost for each activity. The Consultants were unable to review actual invoices for contract labor to verify whether all of the acrivities contained in the "Field Data Reports" were actually billed to Comcast, because Comcast refused to provide them. The Consultants therefore were not given any real data to review and analyze with respect to the contract labor costs. This raises problems as to the accuracy of ComcasYs estimates. If, for example, a contractor did not complete an installation correcUy, would Comcast have paid for that acrivity? Such corrections and audit-type adjustments that would normally occur in the review of actual bills from the contractor were not considered in ComcasYs estimation methodology. To the extent Comcast wants to include contract labor in future Form 1205 filings, the Consultants recommend that Comcast must use actual invoices from the contractor and allocate those invoices to regulated and un-regulated activities. In this way, the participating LFAs can be assured that the costs included in the Form 1205 are "real" costs and not just hypotherical costs based upon the unverified "Field Data Report." The Consultants have made other recommendations concerning contract labor costs and hours, as described in §§ H(2) and K below. C. MAIN'I'ENANCE AND REPAIIi — PLANT AND EQLi1PMENT T'he Consultants' review of the prior Form 1205s filed by systems now part of Comcast has revealed that in many of these systems, the cable operator did not include maintenance and repair — plant and equipment ("M&R — P1anY') as part of tlte Schedule B costs. For this reason, as 19 The Consultants believe that this methodology is different from the methodology used eazlier by AT&T Broadband, but based on ComcasYs RF'I responses the Consultants cannot conclude this definirively.

The Consultants have therefore eluninated M&R—Plant in order to be consistent with the FCC's precedents and to prevent double recovery of these costs? In addition to the unbundling concems, ComcasYs treahnent of M&R — Plant costs suffers from the same allocarion problem as discussed in § E below concerning properry taxes. The Consultants' review of supporting documents shows that M&R - Plant costs across the sample systems and is not specific to the Technical Deparfinent or regulated equipment. Comcast uses an allocarion factor based on salaries and wages by detenniuing the regulated portion and comparing it to total Technical salaries plus salaries for a group called "Other". This does not include all salaries and wages within the system and, as such, over-allocates costs to regulated services. Thus, even if M&R - Plant costs that are currently recovered in the service tier rates could properly be included in the Form 1205, the allocation factor would still need to be reduced. Since the Consultants do not have specific information from Comcast to support an alternative calculation, we have estimated that the factor would be reduced by two-thirds. D. PAYROLL TAXES The Consultants haue eliminated a pro-rata share of payroll taaces based on the elimination of the Bonuses and Commissions as described in § A above. This equates the appropriate inclusion of payroll taxes to the reduced level of salary related costs. The calcularion was made by using the ratio of bonuses and commissions to the total of salaries and wages plus bonuses and commissions and multiplying the resulting factor times payroll taxes. E. PROPERTY TAXES The Consultants' review of the prior Form 1205s filed by systems now part of Comcast has revealed that in many of these systems, the cable operator did not include property taYes as part of the Schedule B costs. As the FCC pointed out in TCI of Tualatin T�alley and Jones of Georgia/South Carolina, ComcasYs inclusion of such properiy tases in the Filing would allow Comcast to "double recover" these costs — once in the service rates and again in the equipment and installarion rates — since such costs were never unbundled. The Consultants have therefore eliminated these property taxes in order to be consistent with the FCC's precedents. In addition to the unbundling concerfls, "the Consultants' review of supporting documents show that properiy taYes include costs across all departments in the sample systems and are not specific to the Technical Deparhnent or regulated equipment. As these property taxes include taxes for executive system office, call center and other faciliries not part of the regulated 20 As indicated in n21 above, Comcast appears to have ignored these precedents. 21 The Consultants are concemed that Comcast appears to have ignored the relevant FCC rulings, even though it was cleazly awaze of the precedents in TCI ofTualatin Yalley and (during the review of this Filing) Jones of Georgia/South CaroZina. Such a course of conduct does not appeaz to be consistent with the cer[ificarion attached by Comcast to the Filing.

ComcasY, however, uses only an allocation factor based on salaries and wages by determining the regulated portion of Teckuucal salaries and comparing it to total Technical salaries plus salaries for a group called "Other." This does not include all salaries and wages within the system and, as such, over-allocates costs to regulated services. It should be noted that the Consultants aze aware that in a prior year's Form 1205 filing by Comcast, property tases could not be shown to be related to or based on converters. Thus, even if properry taxes that aze currently recovered in the service rier rates could properly be included in the Form 1205, the allocation factor would still need to be reduced. Comcast did not provide the requested information with regard to the facilities covered by the property tases for each system. Comcast has therefore not met its burden of proo£ The Consultants have used the best available information from prior reviews of Comcast systems and have reduced the technical salary allocarion factor by two-thirds to reflect an assignment of the properiy taxes to non-regulated faciliries and assets. Based on the Consultants' analysis discussed above, this reduction is reasonable. F. INSLiRANCE The Consultants' review of the prior Form 1205s filed by systems now part of Comcast has revealed that in many of these systems, the cable operator did not include insurance as part of the Schedule B costs. For this reason, as illustrated in TCI of Tualatin TTaZZey and Jones of Georgia/Soutlt Carolina, leaving in the insurance costs in the Filing would allow Comcast to "double recover" these costs — once in the service rates and again in the equipment and installation rates — sincs such costs were.never unbundled. The Consultants have therefore eliminated insurance in order to be consistent with the FCC's precedents 22 In addition to the unbundling concerns, ComcasYs treatment of insurance costs suffers from the same allocation problem as discussed in § D above. The Consultants' review of supporting documents shows that insurance includes costs across the sample systems and is not specific to the Technical Deparhnent or regulated equipment. Comcast uses an alloca6on factor based on salaries and wages by determining the regulated portion and comparing it to total Technical salaries plus a group called "Other." This does not include all salaries and wages within the system and, as such, over-allocates wsts to regulated services. Thus, even if insurance costs that are currently recovered in the service fier rates could properly be included in the Form 1205, the allocation factor would srill need to be reduced. Since the Consultants do not have specific information from Comcast to support an alternative calcularion, we have estimated that the factor would be reduced by two-thirds. � As indicated in n21 above, Comcast appears to have ignored these precedents.

MLSCII,LANEOLIS REGLII,ATED HOIIRS This component was used by Comcast to add hours associated with dispatch, wazehouse and office personnel. The Consultants have eliminated wazehouse hours and office personnel hours. L WARF.�IOLLSE PERSONNEL The Consultauts' analysis eliminates warehouse personnel costs and labor hours from Schedule B of the 1205 and the Hourly Service Charge ("HSC"). Comcast has included the cost of wazehousing in the Filing twice. Comcast includes the time associated with warehouse personnel acrivity in Schedule B and, as a result, in the HSC. Comcast also capitalizes the rime associated with this activity and includes that capitalized costs in Schedule C. The Consultants' analysis corrects this and only includes the cost in Schedule C. In addition, it is not apparent that these costs were unbundled in the original Form 1205s. As previously discussed in the unbundling section above, the Consultants' review of the 1994 Form 1205s showed that the cable operators did not include warehouse personnel in the deternunarion of equipment rates and installation charges. Consultants recommend that based on these two flaws, wazehouse personnel should be eliminated from the 1205. 2. OFFICE PERSONIVEI. This issue is also an unbundling issue. As with other issues discussed above, the Consultants' review of the 1994 Form 1205s showed that prior filings did not include office personnel costs in the determination of equipment rates and installation charges, and hence those costs remain in the basic service rier rates. The Consultants' analysis therefore has eliminated this component. In addition to the appropriate exclusion based on the "unbundling" issue, Comcast has not met its burden of proof in supporting these time estimates. Comcast was specifically requested to provide "support (that) must include all studies, documents or other material used by the (sample system) personnel used to support such amounts. To the extent the individual responsible for preparing such amounts did not use any supporting information, please state such and provide a detailed explanarion for the source of the amount shown. Please provide the name and tifle of the individual supporting the hours shown on this schedule." ComcasYs only response was "Comcast has used the past experience of its office personnel to make their best estimate of the average hours spent per week on converter maintenance." Comcast did not provide the requested informarion for any of the sample systems. Therefore, exclusion of these costs is also warrauted based on Comcast's failure to provide adequate support. H. INSTALLATION ACTIVTI'Y HOLlRS Comcast was requested to (1) provide support for the installarion times used by each of the sample systems; (2) identify components more than 12 inches outside the subscriber's residence; and, (3) provide any scheduling or routing programs used to assign in-house and contractor personnel to installation activities and the reports and other supporting details for those programs Page 19 of 42 January, 2005 � Ashpaugh & Sculco, CPAs, PLC and Front Rarige Consultuig, Inc.

For most of the sample systems, Comcast provided "the work tasks table containing the points assigned to each task for the (sample system)" and went on to eacplain that "this information was used to develop the estimated times in the Schedule D SupporP' in the sample data. Comcast also explained in its response that "Comcast has used the past experience of its technical personnel to make their best estimate of average hours spent per installation acfivity. The technical personnel rely upon the work task table and points assigned to help them detemune the best estimate of average hours spent per installafion activity." However, ComcasYs packet of information supplied to each sample system for prepazarion of the sample data included a sheet showing the installation times used hy Comcast in the prior year. The sample systems then could use these estimates rather than actual data relative to their specific operations. SLiPPORT Comcast failed to support the installarion times. First, while ComcasYs response referred to the work task table, the tasks listed did not match the Form 1205 regulated activity. For example, the work task table provided by Comcast for the Portland Willamette Valley sample system did not contain any work tasks for: un-wired installarion; pre-wired installarion; upgrade; downgrade; A/O sepazate trip and VCR connection — same trip. Comcast also failed to allocate the tasks to activities within 12 inches of the residence. The Consultants compared the times on the work task table to the times on the Schedule D Support and found that the times did not match. Consistently, the rimes on the Schedule D Support exceeded the times on the work task table. No explanation was provided for this difference, even though the RFI specifically asked Comcast for "detailed explanations and support for each amount shown on `Schedule D Support' page 220" of each sample system support. For e�mple, in the Wildwood sample system data request, the Consultants asked Comcast in Quesrion 29 to: Please identify the components of each amount provided in #28 above that are outside of 12 inches of the subscriber's home or residence. (Question 28 requested information with regazds to the installarion times for such activiries as un-wired and pre-wired installations) Comcast responded: The only installation activity outside of 12 inches of the subscriber's home or residence is the drop required for an un-wired installarion. It appeazs from this response that Comcast does not understand the definitions of pre-wired and un- wired installations. The difference between an un-wued installation and a pre-wired installation has to do only with the status of wiring inside the demazcafion point on the home (12 inches Z ' While ComcasYs responses for each of the sample systems referenced use of the work task table and indicated that copies were enclosed, the support for Mobile, Chesapeake, New England East and Montgomery County, PA did not in fact include this information. . �" Exhibit 1205_32_082704 attached to Comcast response date September 23, 2004.

Thus, a drop may also be needed for a pre-wired installarion: a pre-wired home that has never had service, or an un-wired home that also has never had service, would each require Comcast to run a drop to the outside of the home. Comcast therefore appears to be inconect that only homes that aze un-wired would require a drop or maybe Comcast is incorrecUy applying the installation prices to a new connection customer. Similarly, Comcast did not answer the Consultants' quesrion as to whether the average times shown on page 220 of the sample system workpapers included time for Comcast to run a drop to the subscriber's residence. Comcast has failed to meet its required burden of proof. The Consultants' asked Comcast to support ats installation times for each of the sample systems. For example, for the Flint MI sample system, Quesfions 30 and 32 asked: Question 30. Please provide detailed explanations and support for each amount shown on "Schedule D Support" page 220. To the extent the individual responsible for preparing such amounts did not use any supporting information, please state such and provide a detailed explanation for the souLCe of the amounts shown. Question 32. Does Comcast of Flint use any scheduling or routing prograins (either automated or manual) to assign both in-house and contractor personnel to installation ac6vities? If so, please provide such programs, reports and other supporting details for those prograiiis for each month of the review period (the purpose of this request is to verify the amounts shown on "Schedule D Support," to the extent Comcast refuses to provide this alternative supporting information, Comcast should e�pect that the Consultants may reject the amounts shown on "Schedule D Support" and use the best available information). Comcast responded: Question 30. Please refer to our response to your question 32 in this request. Quesfion 32. Enclosed is a copy of the work task table, E�ibit 1205_32 082704, containing the points assigned to each task for the Flint/Bad Axe system. This informafion was used to develop the estimated rimes in the Schedule D Support. The FCC has stated, "We anticipate that cable opentors will use their past experience and historical data to make the best estimate of the number of service repair hours for remotes. Charges for leasing of converter boxes and all other equipment will be calculated in the same manner as for remotes. For installarion charges, the cable operator must elect a uniform installation charge that is calculated based on either: (1) the HSC rimes the person hours of the visit; or (2) the HSC rimes the average hours spent per installafion visit." (See FCC Report and Qrder, FCC 93-177, released May 3, 1993, Paragraph 296.) Comcast has used the past experience of its technical personnel to make their best estimate of the average hours spent per installation activity. The technical personnel rely upon the work task table and point assigned to help them deternune the best esrimate of the average hours spent per installafion acrivity.

Comcast attached E�ibit 1205 32 082704, which detailed some "points" for some of the installarion acriviries. Comcast also included an email from Ms. Shazon Wiorek to Ms. Marcia Anderson, where Ms. Wiorek stated: You may have noticed that Flint does not have any points for any installations tasks on the Cable Data report I sent you. ThaYs because they work on a 1 point per job basis. Doesn't matter on the complexity or length of the task, every job is assigned 1 point. Thus, in F1inYs case, Comcast was incorrect in its response to Quesrion 32 that the "technical persoanel rely upon the work tasks table and points assigned to help them deternune the average hours." Comcast has completely failed to support any of these time esrimates for the Flint sample system. The Consultants also asked about any changes in the time estimates from last year's Form 1205 filing. For example in the Flint system, the request was: Question 33. Has any of the amounts shown on "Schedule D Support" changed from the amounts used on the last Form 1205 filed by Comcast (or its predecessor in interest) for the Flint system? ff so, please identify and explain in detail all changes including a copy of the filing made by Comcast (or its predecessor in interest) (the purpose of this request is to verify if Comcast is in compliance with the precedent set by the FCC in DA 04-2448). Comcast responded: Question 33. Yes. The Schedule D times on the last Form 1205 filed by Comcast for the Flint system were as follows: Unwired — 1.5 Hours; Pre-wired — 1 Hour; Additional Outlet Same Trip — 0.5 Hours; and Additional Outlet Sepazate Trip — 1 Hour. These are the hours listed on Schedule D of the last Michigan Form 1205 filing. Comcast is not awaze of any precedent set by DA 04-2448. Notwithstanding the unbundling concerns with respect to time associated with Relocate Outlets, Upgrades, Downgrades, Connect VCR Same Trip, Connect VCR Separate Trip, Converter Service Call, Inside Wiring Service Call, Customer Owned Equipment, Customer Education and Non Productive Trouble Calls listed on Schedule D Support (Page 220), Comcast has not provided any explanarion of the changes made, nor has Comcast provided a copy of the previous Form 1205 filing. Again, Comcast has not met its burden of proof. A comparison of Comcast's current estimates and its prior year estimates for the Flint MI sample system raises many questions that the Consultants cannot invesrigate because of Comcast's unwillingness to make a through and complete response.

Thus, in most cases over half of the riventy sample systems appear to have followed the "guidance" received from ComcasYs corporate level. However, Comcast has not provided any information to the Consultants that would enable them to understand the basis Comcast used to provide esrimated times in this corporate "guidance." In sum, Comcast has not meet its burden of proof wittt regards to the estimated times per installation acrivity. Based on the informarion described above, the Consultants analyzed the "poinY' system estimates provided in the individual sample system responses as the best available informarion. The analysis showed that based on ComcasYs "poinY' system, the esrimated times by installation activity in the Filing are overstated as follows: Table 4 Each of the esrimated times by sample system provided by Comcast has been adjusted by these percentages. The Consultants did not adjust the times for other activities, as it appeazed that the Page 24 of 42 January, 2005 � Ashpaugh & Sculcq CPAs, PLC and Fron[ Range Consui[ing Inc. All rights rese�ved.

"point" system data analyzed did not have enough samples to provide a reasonable estimate. zs Therefore, these times were accepted, even though they lacked supporting documentation from Comcast. 2. COIVTRACT LABOR ESTIMATES Comcast was also asked to provide detailed support for the amount of contract labor associated with "indoo�" acrivities (i.e., activities occurring no more than 12 inches outside of the connection to the home) and the hours for each task. `I'his request was part of the first RFI, dated May 21, 2004, Question 9. Comcast responded: The 2003 indoor % for each contractor activity is not available because our contract labor vendors do not provide such detaiL The 2003 hours per task for each contractor acrivity are included on the individual sample system contract labor installarion activiries workpaper. The Consultants were provided copies of the individual contract price sheets (mazked "Confidenrial Not For Public Disclosure") for each sample system. For example, in the material provided for the Trenton sample system, the installation activities included in the prices used by Comcast for the costs of an "Aerial Installarion" include the following: • Installation of cable from the tap to the television; • Includes mid-span and sub pole(s) as necessary; • Tagging and identifying drops; • Ground drop per NEC and document type ground; • Converter installation; • installing trap(s); • Installation of VCR, A/B switch, game switch as required; • Customer educarion (installation package), complering paperwork and collection of any payment due; and • Compliance with applicable Comcast specifications. u For exampie, see the discussion about the email for the Flint system described above. For the DC sample system, each activity had the same point value — 15 minutes. Comcast did not provide any "point" informarion for 4 of the sample systems.

Of these listed activities, the first four activities involve work by the conhactor on efforts related to the installation of a customer drop. But drop acfivities are not part of the Form 1205 regulated activities, and their cost should not be included in the prices for installarion activities. Comcast has therefore overstated the costs for contract installations in its Form 1205. Comcast has failed to meet its required burden of pmof by not determ;ning or providing the Consultants with any supporting data related to the amount of costs or percentage of time associated with installation of drops by the contractors. Comcast has failed to meet its burden of proof with regard to the average installarion times used by Comcast in its worksheet 270 (Contractor installarion times) completed for each sample system. Comcast has provided no information as to where the average installation times for contractors were developed. For example, in the Wildwood sample system, Comcast provided the following information: Table 5 Based on the foregoing discussion, Comcast has failed to meet its burden of proof and has included costs that cannot be included in the Form 1205. The Consultants have had to use the best available information in order to modify the contract labor costs to exclude the costs associated with n,nning a drop to a subscriber's residence. The Consultants have utilized the rafio of drop-related costs to the total costs for contcactor labor from the review of ComcasY s Page 26 of 42 January, 2005 � Ashpaugh & S�ulcq CPAs, PLC and Front Range Co�sulting, Inc.

In that study, the Consultants found that approxiu�ately fifteen percent of the contract labor costs for an un-wired installation were related to drop costs and approximately eighteen percent of the contract labor costs of a pre- wired installation were related to drop costs. The Consultants have therefore modified all of the unwired and pre-wired contract labor costs to exclude the costs associated with the drop, based on this best available information, in each of the twenty sample systems. Because no other information was available, the Consultants did not revise the average hours per installafion for the contract labor activities even though Comcast did not provide any supporting information, since no other informarion was available. The Consultants recommend that each participaring LFA in its individual rate order requue Comcast to pmvide such information with the next Form 1205 filed by Comcast. I. CONVERTER MAINTENANCE AT TIME OF INSTALL These costs are made up of the time warehouse personnel and converter repair personnel spend to test and set up the converter before placing it in the subscriber's residence and putting the converter in service. The Consultants' analysis has eliminated this component from the converter charge. Comcast capitalizes this cost and includes it in the cost of converters in Schedule C. To include the cost in the converter charge and then also include the maintenance chazges (maintenance hours rimes HSC) in Schedule C would allow Comcast to recover the cost twice. The Consultants' analysis includes the capitalized costs in Schedule C. INSIDE WIIZING Comcast has included on page 235 of its individual sample system studies an entry for the amount of time and the number of trouble calls related to inside wiring activities. For the Ann Arbor sample system, Comcast has estimated that it will average 2,164 trouble calls related to inside wiring activiries. Comcast has also estimated that each of these trouble calls will average 30 minutes to complete the repair. Comcast has not supported the 30 minute estimate with any data. Comcast has also admitted that over 47,000 subscribers of the appro�mately 135,000 subscribers in the Ann Arbor sample system subscribe to an optional inside wiring plan, which would mean that they aze already paying for the costs of these t�ouble calls thtough the plan and should not Ue charged for those costs again. Comcast has not met its burden of proof with regards to the inclusion of the hours associated with the inside wiring trouble calls, nor has Comcast provided any adjushnent for the inside wiring trouble calls related to customers with the oprional inside wire maintenance plan. Specifically, on August 27, 2004, the Consultants asked the following quesrions for the Ann Arbor sample system: Question 23. Does Comcast of Ann Arbor system have an optional inside wire maintenance plan? If so, please provide the plan and the number of customers currenfly subscribed to the plan. Question 27.

[Parenthetical item omitted] Comcast responded to these requests on September 9, 2004, stating: Quesrion 23. Yes. As of May 31, 2004, forty seven thousand two hundred and fifty (47,250) customers subscribe to the plan 26 Question 27. Please refer to our response to your question number 29 in this request for additional information. Quesfion 29. Enclosed is a copy of the work task table, E�ibit 1205_29 082704, containing the points assigned to each task for the Ann Arbor system. This informarion was used to develop the estimated times in the Schedule D Support. The FCC has stated, "We anticipate that cable operators will use their past experience and historical data to make the best estimate of the nuxnber of service repau hours for remotes. Charges for leasing of converter boxes and all other equipment wiil be calculated in the same manner as for remotes. For installation chazges, the cable operator must elect a uniform installation charge that is calculated based on either: (1) the HSC times the person hours of the visit; or (2) the HSC times the average hours spent per installation visit "(See FCC Report and Order, FCC 93-177, released May 3, 1993, Paragraph 296.) Comcast has used the past experience of its technical personnel to make their best estimate of the average hours spent per installarion activity. The technical personnel rely upon the work task table and point assigned to help them determine the best estimate of the average hours spent per installation acrivity. Comcast also provided a copy of the "Technical Operations Database - Field Data Report" which identifies the nuxnber of installation activities. Based on this limited data provided, the Consultants conclude that Comcast has failed to support its claim of 30 minutes of average time for an inside wiring call. The task and point system referred to in its response to Question 29 does not contain any individual item related to inside wiring trouble calls; therefore, Comcast has not met its required burden of proof with regards to this 30 minute estimate. Further, ComcasYs "Field Data Report" does not segregate inside Z6 Comcast completely ignored the porhon of the request asking for the "plan" itsel£ This characteristic behavzor by Comcast once again undenrrines the Consultants' ability to thoroughiy review ComcasYs submission and thus undercuts the FCC's rate regulation process.

Therefore, Comcast is including activities and hours associated with un-regulated services in its equipment and installation acriviries. The Consultants have eliminated 50% of the number of inside wire trouble calls as a conservative estimate from each sample system in order to account for un-regulated activities. The Consultants also recommend that Comcast be required to provide better documented support for the average times to complete inside wiring trouble calls in its next Form 1205 filing so that the participating LFAs can meaningfully review these estimates. K. WEIGH'TED INSTALLATION TIMES Comcast has improperly used the installation rime estimates of only Comcast in-house technical personnel in determining the average installarion times used in the Form 1205. The Average Installation Times, Installation Activities and Installation Hours provided as input to the statistical sampling report do not consider the average times, installarion acriviries and installation hours of any of ComcasYs contractors. Yet based on the data provided by Comcast, contractors perform approximately 54% of all of the installation activifies for the 20 sample systems. T"ne Consultants obtained data for contractors and in-house personnel in response to RFIs. In the vast majority of the sample systems, the contractor time estimates shown on Worksheet 270 to complete an installarion were at or below the esrimates prepared supposedly by ComcasYs in- house technical personnel. This error would allow Comcast to over-recover its costs of an installation where such installation is performed by a contractor. For example, in the Wildwood system, Comcast provided the following data: Table 6 �� Comcast has not included wire maintenance plans in the 1205 and is h these as unregulated.

Comcast used the tune estimates from the "in-house" category for each of the sample system in order to arrive at its average time per installarion, but then applied that average time to both in- house and contractor installarions. On average, the time estimated by the statistical sampling methodology for an un-wired installation was 1.4849 hours. Using the Comcast esrimated HSC of $35.17, an un-wared installation would be priced to the subscriber at $52.23. Assuming the contractor only chazges Comcast $3236 for this installation, Comcast has over collected for this installafion by appro�nately $20.00. To correct this problem, the Consultants have included all of the installation fimes for both the contractors and the in-house personnel in compuring the average installarion rimes for each sample system. Comcast appeazs to have modified the results of the statistical report issued by Dr. Hannum. Comcast based its installation rimes on the statistical analysis and siudy performed by Dr. Hannum. In his report attached to the Filing, Dr. Hannum's report states: For Installation Time variables 4 through 1�, estimates of the population total hours spent on installation and the population number of installarions (acrivity levels) are used to acquire an estimate of the mean time per installation. This latter estimate incorporates both the average rime per install for each sampled area and the installation activity level for each azea. [Emphasis added] Comcast did not, however, use Dr. Hannum's figures in computing the average cost of each type of installation. Instead, Comcast used the "average install time" computation, which does not consider the "activity level" (the number of installations) for each sampled area. The differences aze: Table 7 Zs That is, 0.92 hours times $35.17. The actual charge for the installation is less than $30.00 based on the materia] provided by Comcast. Comcast has requested that the actual price for the installation be kept confidential and it is therefore not included in this report.

Using these higher amounts has allowed Comcast to artificially inflate its installation chazges. The Consultants have modified the time to use the "estiznated mean time" as recommended in I?r. Hannum's report. L. VCR CONNECTIONS Comcast has included time estimates for VCR connections both at the same rime as an installation and as a separate trip. Comcast provided no support for its estimated VCR connection times in its responses to the data requests for each individual sample syst�m (see response to question 29 in §�. While Comcast did provide its "poinY' system for some of the sample systems, VCR connections were listed in less than twenty-five percent of the sample systems 2 ComcasYs "Field Data Reports" did not list any activiries for VCR connection either at the time of installation or as a separate trip. ComcasYs contractors have included the connection of a VCR as part of their normal installation activities. These facts suggest that the cost of making VCR connecrions is in fact recovered as part of the normal installation process. The Consultants do not believe that Comcast has met its burden of proof with regazd to times associated with a VCR connection. Further, it appears that to the extent a contractor provides the installation, the VCR efforts are already included in the contract labor costs. Based on these finding, the Consultants recommend that Comcast should not be allowed to chazge customers for VCR connections, because any associated costs are already recovered in other installation rates. M. CUSTOMER TROUBLE CALLS Comcast has included time estimates for customer-owned equipment service calls. Comcast has estimated that such a customer owned equipment service call averages 40 minutes to complete. As a matter of common sense this time appears to be excessive, as it should not take 40 minutes to check the Comcast-owned equipment and conclude that the service problem relates to customer-owned equipment, which is not repaired by Comcast. Comcast did not provide any support for this activity either by specific idenrification or in the "poinY' system data supplied. Comcast has therefore again not met its burden of proof with regard to the rime estimates for this activity. The Consultants understand that Comcast does in fact incur some costs for these trouble calls. However, without any support foz the individual sample system amounts included in the Filing, the Consultants cannot confirm ComcasYs inherently implausible claim that the overall average time is approximately 40 minutes. Accordingly, the Consultants have reduced the sample system estimates by fifry percent. Z9 The limited data provided by Comcast suggested that the VCR — Same Trip time was overstated by 11 % and the VCR — Sepazate Trip rime overstated by 27 30 To the extent Comcast can idenhfy in a subsequent Form 1205 filing that VCR connections requiring a separate h7p aze actually performed and the time associated with that installarion, such an installation chazge for VCR — sepazate trip may be jusrified.

Addirionally, based on our review of the originai filed 1205s, the Consultants do not believe that these costs were unbundled originz.11y by Comcast. If that is correct, then Comcast is already recovering its costs associated with these trouble calls in its service rates. The Consultants have not eliminated this category entirely at this time as a conservative approach, but the Consultants may eliminate t}us category in future Comcast filings. N. DVR CONVERTERS In several of the participating LFAs, Comcast included a chazge on its rate card for Digital Video Recarders ("DVR"). This charge was listed as an "equipmenY' chazge on the rate card, but Comcast has now claimed that this chazge should have been included as a"sezvice" charge (as a progra.mming alternative). The Form 1205 filed by Comcast does not include any costs in Schedule C for DVRs. Tf�erefore Comcast cannot charge a customer a monthly lease price for a IIVIt based on the current filing. To impose such a charge, Comcast would have to file a new Form 1205 including this new piece of equipment, or wait until the next annual filing to include these DVR costs in one of the converter categories. To the extent subscribers are currently being charged for these DVRs, Comcast should be ordered to refund these monies and cease billing subscribers. A DVR converter works in a similar fashion to a regular converter in that it allows the subscriber to view any and all of the channels currently subscribed to by the subscriber. O. OTFIEIi CONVERTER COSTS 1. CONVERT'ER REPAII2S The Consultants' review of invoices supporting converter repair costs included in the sample systems showed that Comcast has included cable modem costs in this item. Comcast provided access to picture images of the invoices via an intemal Comcast Web-based computer access. Comcast did not provide this access, however, until November 4, 2004, several months after the origanal data request soliciting this data was issued. The Consultants were forced to travel to a specified Comcast office in order to gain access to this information. Comcast did not allow the Consultants to use a search engine, but required the Consultants to pick specific invoices one at a time from a list of several thousand invoices for each system. The process was very time— consuming; the Consultants spent almost twenty hours working through ComcasYs cumbezsome data retrieval process. The Consultants also informed Comcast that the company's system was unable to provide access to several of the sample system invoices they sought to review. However, Comcast made no effort to provide access to these systems or arrange for alternative review methods. Since the Consultants were unable to access the invoices associated with eight of the sample systems - E332 Wildwood, E840 Trenton, A54 Chesapeake Bay, EK32 New England East, E858 Montgomery County, fi346 Connecticut, E868 Vineland and B56 Ann Arbor — and it was impossible given ComcasYs cumbersome system to examine and analyze every invoice, the Consultants have not been able to determine the exact amount of the cable modem costs improperly included by Comcast in the Filing. Review of the invoices the Consultants were able to access indicated that at a conservative estimate, 10% of the converter repair costs claimed by Page 32 of 42 January, 2005 � Ashpaugh & Sculco, CPAs, PLC and Front Range Co�sulring Iua Aii nghts reserved. Cannot be used without ezpressed wdtten pertnission finm both organizaeons. as-a�� ASHPAUGH & SCULCO, CPks, PLC Ccr.iSad PuE!�c Accaun.ann and Consuitan�z Front Range Consulting, Inc. Comcast actually represented cable modem costs. Accordingly, the Consultants have reduced the filed costs by 10% to correct ComcasYs improper inclusion of cable modem costs. It should be noted that Comcast was specifically asked in the May 21 request to "provide a signed letter from an officer of Comcast certifying that the National 1205 does not include any cable modem costs in Schedules B or C." ComcasYs June 21 response to tlus request stated: "no cable modem costs were included in Schedules B or C." This was the only response received; Comcast did not provide the requested signed letter. The Consultants' review showed that the June 21 Comcast response was factually inaccurate. The Consultants' analysis of invoices also showed that converter disposal costs were included in the costs claimed by Comcast in Schedule B. While the Consultants have not made a sepazate adjustment to eliminate these costs, it is not appropriate to include them in Schedule B. Cost of removal should be recovered in depreciation andfor the asset base cost. In subsequent reviews, thisissue needsto be addressed. The Consultants' analysis also identified some of the alleged converter wsts as repairs to remotes and costs of guides for use of remotes. It is not apparent that these costs were ever unbundled in the original Form 1205. Again, this is an issue that needs to be addressed in subsequentreviews. 2. BASIC-ONLY CONVERTER ASSET COSTS The Consultants aze aware that Comcast has admitted to some local franchising authorities that the company included costs in the Basic-only Converter Asset costs that are not related to these Basic-only Converters. The Consultants' review found that Comcast included in this Basic-only category over $32 million of asset costs not related to Basic-only converters out of a total gross book cost of over $59 million. This mistake has significantly increased the net book value of these converters. The Consultants understand from other LFAs and their consultants that Comcast is not contending this issue and has essentially agreed with the removal of this sum of over $32 million from the gross book costs of the Basic-only converters. The Consultants have included this adjustment in their tevised Form 1205. 3. HDTV CONVERTER ASSET COSTS The Consultants have also identified a discrepancy regazding the asset costs for the FIDTV converters. On the detailed workpapers submitted by Comcast, the gross book cost for the HDTV converters was shown as $101 million (per its response to Question 1 dated June 21, 2004). However, the details submitted with the Filing by Comcast showed a gross book cost of $134 million. As the request in Question 1 was for the support for the gross book value of the Schedule C amounts, the Consultants have used the lower gross book value contained in ComcasYs response as the correct amount to be used on Schedule C of the revised Fonn 1205.

CABLE CARDS L MONTHI.Y LEASE RATE During the Consultants' review of the Comcast Form 1205 Filing, Comcast announced in certain communities' rate changes effective January 2005. A CableCARD is a new piece of equipment owned by Comcast that allows a subscriber to purchase a separate digital box or a TV containing the receiving and decoding equipment for a digital signal. The Cab1eCARD decodes or descrambles the signal and thus allows Comcast to maintain control of the authorized services that aze passed through this customer-owned digital box. Comcast has not included a price in its Form 1205 filing for this Cab1eCARD. The Consultants believe that because the Cab1eCARD is used to receive Basic Sezvice (such as broadcast channels received in digital form), it is a regulated piece of equipment. Unril such time as Comcast files a rate for this Cab1eCARD, Comcast cannot charge a monthly rate for the leasing of this new piece of equipment. Each participating LFA should ensure that Comcast is currently not chazging for this Cab1eCARD and also prohibit Comcast from chazging for the Cab1eCARD until Comcast files the appropriate FCC Form 1205. 2. LINRE'1'URNED CIIARGE One of the other changes Comcast sought was to establish the price for an unreturned CableCARD. This unretumed equipment charge was set at $250.00. Until such time as Comcast files a FCC Porm 1205 supporting this charge, each participating LFA should inform Comcast that it cannot implement the unrehuned chazge. Q. HDTV INSTALLATIONS During the Consultants' review of the Comcast Form 1205, Comcast also announced in certain communities a rate change to implement a HDTV installarion charge of $30.00. However, Comcast did not justify a separate installation charge for a HI7TV installation as part of its Filing, and therefore Comcast cannot implement such a chazge. A HI3TV installation is either an upgrade charge or a new installation chazge. The Consultants believe that a current subscriber would be the most likely subscriber to purchase HDTV services and therefore the charge to upgrade to HDTV services would be lunited to the MPR for an "upgrade." ComcasYs filing indicated that the MPR for an upgrade would be $17.12. Thus, Consultants recommend that under its current Filing Comcast can be permitted to impose an upgrade charge of up to $1712 for HDTV installarion for an exisfing subscriber. To the extent a new subscriber wants HDTV services in addition to purchasing at least the Basic Service tier; however, the un-wired/pre-wired installation charges would cover the HDTV installation. In some of our participating communities, Comcast has agreed to lower this installation charge to the noriced "upgrade" 31 In some communities, Comcast has reduced this chazge to $75.00. See § R below. 3Z These two chazges cover "standard" installations. Comcast can charge for non-standard installarions, for example, Home Theater hook-ups.

Each participating LFA should ensure that Comcast is not currently charging this higher FIDTV installation charge. R. iINRETLiRNED EQiIIPMENT CHARGES During the Consultants' review of the Comcast Form 1205 Filing Comcast announced in certain communiries' rate changes effective January 1, 2005. The Consultants believe that all unreturned equipment chazges are rate regulated chazges and must be based on the costs of such unreturned equipment. The Consultants thus recommend that each participating LFA review the unreturned equipment charges and consider reducing these charges to reasonable levels. For example, in some of our participating communifies, Comcast has agreed to lower this unreturned equipment charge for the Cab1eCARll to $75.00. Each participating LFA should review this issue for all equipment, and consider lowering the charge to $75.00 for unreturned Cab1eCARDs. IX. SAMPLING CONCERNS AND ISSLIES The Consultants' analysis identified several concerns with ComcasYs sample. This is the first narional Form 1205 filed by Comcast for all of the cable television systems it currently owns. Prior aggregated 1205s only included data from former TCUAT&T Broadband systems. Going to this nationally aggregated filing has had a major impact on rates in some "classid' Comcast systems. It is thus highly significant to determine whether the aggregarion in practice is revenue- neutral, as the Cominission intended, or whether it results in an aggregate increase in subscriber rates. In tlus respect, the LFAs requested that Comcast provide the information required by the Commission's rules. Secrion 76.923(c)(1) of the Commission's rules states: When submitting its equipment costs based on average charges, the cable operator must provide a general descriprion of the averaging methodology employed and a justification that its averaging methodology produces reasonable equipment rates. Equipment rates should be set at the same organizational level at which an operator aggregates its costs. Ques6on 7 of the Initial Request for Information ("Initial RFI") issued on May 21, 2004 repeated the FCC's rule and asked Comcast to provide the required descriptions. ComcasPs only response to date on its averaging methodology has been to claim that its averaging methodology was approved by the FCC in TCI of Richardson, Inc. However, TCI of Richardson did not approve the sampling methodology used by Comcast in this filing, nor did it approve sampling in general. The FCC does not perform a de novo review in a rate appeal and thexefore did not rule on issues not part of the rate appeal in TCI of Richardson. The validity of the methodology used here was not brought before the Commission in that case. ComcasYs response is thus irrelevant. The Consultants' review does not question the use of a sample, but rather questions specifically whether ComcasYs sample is staristically valid. 33 TCI ofRichardson, Inc.: Petifian for Reconsideration ofBureau Order ResolvingLocal Rate Appeals (CUID TXI228), Memorandum Opinion and Order on Reconsideration, 14 FCC Rcd 11700 (1999).

The "methodolog�' in TCI ofRichardson used a sample of 40 systems out of 422 systems serving approacimately 15 million subscribers, as compared to the current sample of 20 out of 114 "management areas" serving approlcimately 22 million subscribers. For the 2000 Form 1205 filing, the TCUAT&T Broadband sample used a population of "381 systems representing appro�cimately 16 million subscribersi that were stratified as follows: Table 8 By contrast, the current Comcast stratification contains: Table 9 Comcast has more than doubled the number of subscribers and aggregated them into smaller "systems", that Comcast calls "management areas", while decreasing the size of the sample. This is counter-intuirive. Plus, as discussed below, the management areas and strata do not seem to be homogenous groups. ComcasYs sample stratifies the systems based on the number of subscribers and uses that number as the only criterion. This gouping thus includes in one stratum the management areas of Washington, DC (2 CiJIDs) and Mobile, Alabama (6 CLTIDs) with Flint, Michigan (78 CUIDs) and Ann Arbor, Michigan (52 CUIDs). "I'hese differences raise significant questions about the potential differences in the cost structures of these systems. It is our understanding, for example, that the Washington, DC azea is served primarily out of one headend and one maintenance facility, but that Flint has multiple headends and maintenance facilities covering a large geographic area. 34 See ComcasYs August 16, 2004 response to Question 13a.

The participating LFAs aze within their rights to seek to evaluate the accuracy of the cost data and the reasonableness of the rates in Comcast's Filing. As the FCC has stated: A franchising autl�ority that "reasonably feels it requires clarifying or substanriating information ... has the right to request and receive clarifying or substantiating informarion." If the cable ouerator fails to nrovide the reauested information or fails to nrovide comnlete information in eood faith, the franchisine onerator could hold the cable onerator in default and mandate appropriate sanctions, which could include enterinE an order findina the operator`s rate unreasonable and mandatin� appronriate relief based on the best information availabie at the time relevant to the re uested information. 5 One of the key points in the FCC's order in TCI of Richardson was based on the fact that TCI's Form 1205 used actual data. In clarifying how it used the sampling, TCI states that it did not use sampling to develop costs across the board. It relied extensively on aggregate books and records and relied on sampling to facilitate its rate calculations in only three azeas: (1) the average hours spent on different installation acrivities that must be reported on Schedule D, which it derived from field experience for the 40 sampled systems; (2) allocating certain accounting entries between customer premise activity and network acrivity; and (3) determining the percentage of "security devices" on either side of the customer demarcarion point. According to TCI-R, looking beyond its books and records would be necessary in each of these circumstances, regardless of whether it developed aggregated or franchise specific rates. Had the Bureau understood the limited role sampling played in the derivation of TCI-R's Form 1205 rates, TCI-R argues, the Bureau would have placed more limited demands on TCI-R's evidentiary support. The City does not dispute that the data on Schedules A, B, and C of Form 1205 are actual data. That is not the case with Comcast's 2004 national Form 1205, even though Comcast incorrectly claimed that "...both TCI and AT&T Broadband (both predecessors in interest to Comcast) had utilized the exact same methodology for the last eight years." Comcast fiirther stated: Our use of the verbiage "essentially the same" was imprecise. The sannpling methodology is the same methodology utilized by TCI and AT&T Broadband. There are no differences in the components, methodology or use of the sample from the components, methodology or use of the sample urilized by TCI and 35 TCI ofRichardron DA99-1408 at ¶ 23.(emphasis added). 36 TCI ofRichardson DA99-1408 at ¶ I5. 3 � See ComcasYs August 18, 2004 response to Question 7.

AT&T Broadband (other than the actual sample systems selected - these vary from yeaz to year) 3 That tums out not to be the case. For example, in response to Quesrion 8 in the same August 18, 20041etter, Comcast states that "(t)he Schedule B costs, with the exception of the amount for contract labor, were all company aggregate costs." (Emphasis added) Comcast used the sample to derive the amount for contr�act labor in Schedule B. The prior Form 1205 filings of TCI and AT&T Broadband, however, did not use the sample to deternune the amount of contract labor in Schedule B. Thus, the Filing deviates in at least one significant respect from the methodology of the prior sampies. Addirionally, while Comcast has stated to the FCC that "it used actual company-wide aggregated costs as reflected in its books and records on December 31, 2003," the above details make cleaz that this is not the case. The amount used for ccntract labor in Schedule B is not the actual per book amount, but is derived from the sample systems. Also, the number of `Basic Only" converters in Schedule C is not an actual amount. The Consultants' July 9, 2004 RFI asked the following as Question 11: For each of the systems included in the Narional 1205 that were Comcast properties prior to the merger of Comcast and ATT Broadband where this is the utitial nafionally aggregated FCC Form 1205 filing, please provide: a. Cabledata or Cabledata-like reports for each month of 2003 idenfifying the number of converters associated with "Basic Only" subscribers, as the term "Basic Only" is used in the 2004 National FCC Form 1205 filed by Comcast; and, b. A detailed explanation of Comcast's methodology for identifying the number of "Basic Only" subscribers leasing equipment, specifically converters, for the period of January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003 in all systems that were Comcast properties prior to the merger of Comcast and ATT Broadband and where this is the inirial nationally aggregated FCC Form 1205 filing. Comcast responded to (a) that "billing reports were not utilized to identify the number of converters associated with 'Basic Only' wnverters. Therefore, Cabledata or Cabledata-like reports for each month of 2003 for each system where this is the initial aggregated FCC Form 1205 filing would be of no use in the review of the Form 1205." Comcast responded to part (b) that it had deternuned the number of `Basic Only" subscribers leasing equipment by "polling" 38 See ComcasYs July 28, 2004 response to Follow-up Question 1. 39 ComcasYs July 28 response is thus a clear failwe to provide "complete" informarion in good faith, as referenced in TCI ofRichardson. °O CSR-6388-R, filed September 3, 2004. p. 21. 41 See ComcasPs July 22, 2004 response to Quesrion l la.

Thus, here again Comcast did not use actual company-wide aggregated costs. Comcast's use of sampling for the Basic-only converter data is problematic. The company's September 15, 2004, response to Question lb states that "(m)onthly billing reports for 2003 do not show the number of subscribers being charged a Basic-only converter rate." Comcast responded with additional information on October 7, 2004, including additional informarion on its polling methodology. However, it is unclear why Comcast used a polling methodology at all. Prior TCUAT&T Broadband national filings did provide billing reports supporting Basic Only subscribers. Thus, it seems unlikely that the same sort of billing reports could not be provided by Comcast. Obviously, this is a matter of legitimate concern. If Comcast cannot identify Basic-only converter subscribers, then (1) how can the regulator be assured that the resulting rate structure is appropriate, an3 (2) how can Comcast accurately implement a Basic-only converter rate to subscribers? In seeking to address the reasonableness of the aggregated rates, our analysis has followed the FCC's own mandate. In TCI of Richardson the FCC stated: TCI's sampling methodology has pzoduced very different results in Richardson. TCI's Richazdson HSC has gone from $19.30 in its 1996-97 rates (before the downwazd adjushnent ordered by the City) to $30.18 in its 1997-98 rates to $35.90 in its 1998-99 rates. Its chazge for installation in an unwired home has increased from $28.96 (before the downward adjustment ordered by the City) to $4730 to $53.16. Before a cable ouerator can meet the reasonableness requirement it must show that its averaein� methodoloev nroduces rates that are revenue neutral to the onerator and accounts for anv larae variances in cost characterisrics amone its svstems. It also must show that the included costs are nermissible and urouerlv treated in Form 1205. TCI has not done so in tlus case and has not met its laurden of ius6frin2 its ectuipment and installafion rates. The City did not act unreasonably when rejecring TCI's equipment and installation rates and prescribing rates based on the best available informarion. TCI's appeals on this issue are denied. Thus, as part of its burden of proof, Comcast must show that its methodology yields revenue- neutral results. The following table shows a comparison of the equipment and installarion rates in the Filing with those in other LFAs where Comcast did not use the national 1205. 42 See ComcasYs July 22, 2004 response to Quesrion I lb. 43 TCI ofRichardson DA98-1642 at ¶ 30.

Detroit has subscribers that are "Basic Only." These subscribers would be paying $4.83 even though their "costs" would be included in the nafional 1205 so as to result in a rate of $130 or less. Similarly, Murfreesbords converter and installation rates exceed the narional 1205 amounts. These discrepancies cast serious doubt on the revenue-neutrality of ComcasYs overall Form 1205 methodology. The Fonn 1205 filed in Murfreesboro is a regional filing for the Nashville area. Nashville is one of the sample systems used in the national 1205. The following compares the inputs for the Nashville sample system to the amounts shown on the Murfreesboro 1205. 4° The Mur&eesboro filed 1205 idenrifies "Converter 1" as addressable converters, "Converter 2" as non-addressable converters, and "Converter 3" as HDTV converters.

Table 11 While both sets of information claim to be costs and data for the yeaz ended December 31, 2003, and both were supposedly prepared by the same person in Nashville, there are major discrepancies between them that thus faz are unexplained. Comcast was requested to provide the support for the costs and data of the sample systems, but only provided the data sheets "used" by ComcasYs Philadelphia office in preparing the nationai 1205. Comcast claims that the LFAs do not have the ability to request support beyond what was "used" by Comcast's Philadelphia office. But if other materials from Comcast bearing on the same facts contain contrary informarion, further investigarion is certainly relevant to evaluating the validity of ComcasYs claimed rates. Comcast's refusal to respond necessitated the round of requests from the LFAs specific to each sample, as described above. The above comparisons show the necessity of having access to this type of data. X. REFLiND REQLIIREMENTS The Consultants believe that these revised rates will require Comcast to refund equipment and installarion charges during the rate period of these Form 1205 rates (typically the period starting 90 days after filing date). For those participating LFAs receiving their filings on March 1, 2004, as The howly service charge for the Nashville sample was calculated by dividing the amount for Annual Customer Equipment Maintenance & Installation Costs, Step A, Line 5 by amount of Total Labor Hours, Step A, Line 6. � Page 41 of 42 7anuary, 2005 � Ashpaugh & Sculco, CPAs, PLC and Front Range Consulting, Inc.

For those participating LFAs receiving their filings on April 1, 2004, the rate period starts July 1, 2004. Each participating LFA should include a refund secfion in the individual rate orders requiring Comcast to prepare a refund pian from the be nnin of the appropriate rate period unril Comcast reduces its rates in accordance with the order of the LFA. The Consultants recommend that these refund plans should be submitted to the participating LFAs within sixty days of the release of the individual rate orders and require Comcast to refund the over-collecfions after approval of the refund plan by the participating LFA. In this way, Comcast will be able to return these over-collections to essenfially the same subscribers that paid these over-chazges by avoiding undue delays. XI. CONCLLISION The Consultants recommend that the participating LFAs approve the rates determined in the analysis as shown in Appendax B, with the caveat that if any information should become known in the future which would lower tkese rates further, the participating LFAs reserve their rights to revisit this new information. The participating LFAs should state that these are the masimum rates allowed for each component of equipment and installations under the FCC's rules.

Final Report � Ashpaugh & Sculco, CPAs, PLC and Front Range Consulting, Inc. To The Participating Local Franchising Authorities Regarding the National FCC Form 1205 filed by Comcast Cable Communications, Inc. In 2004 January 18, 2005 a5-ay3 `�� ASHPAUGH & SCULCO. CPAs. PLC Ce•n� eL Puh ¢ Ac<o�.�¢ne anQ Cenxv!:zrtv Front Range Consulting, Inc. INTRODLiCTION Ashpaugh & Sculco, CPAs, PLC and Front Range Consulting, Inc. (the "Consultants") provided to the Participants our Final Report on Januaryl3, 2005. On review, one adjustment that was made to Comcast's Narionai FCC Form 1205 (the "Filing") was not addressed. The following discusses and explains that adjustment. ANNLIAL EMPLOYEE LABOR HOLIRS Comcast calculated employee labor hours in each of the 20 sample systems for warehouse and dispatch, installation and technical personnel. In each calculation, Comcast started with the total number of annual working hours, 2,080, added overtime hours and then subtracted non-productive hours. The non-producrive hours component was made up of 2 pieces — non- productive administrarive hours and non-productive field hours. Non-productive field hours only applied to technical personnel. Comcast was requested to provide support for non-producfive administrafive hours. (For the Flint sample system) Quesfion 28. Please provide detailed support for the amount of "373° for "Non-Productive Annual Hours" shown on "Attachment #1" worksheet. The support must include all studies, documents or other material used by the Flint personnel to support such amounts. To the extent the individual responsible for preparing such amounts did not use any supporting information, please state such and provide a detailed explanarion for the source of the amount shown. Please provide the name and title of the individual supporting the hours shown on this schedule. Response: Please see Exhibit 1205 28 082704. This was the only response. This Bxhibit is attached as Addendum Appendix A. This same response was consistent far each of the sample systems. The exhibit supporting the amount of "373" hours was identical in most cases. The 373 hours consisted of the following — 80 hours of vacation, 60 sick leave hours, 80 hours for holidays, 49 hours for safety meefings and 104 other non-productive hours esrimated at 25 minutes per day. The other activities included such things as completing paperwork, communicating with office personnel, completing rime sheets and refueling vehicles. It should also be noted that the Exhibit is idenrified as "for systems owned and managed by Tele-Communications, Ina ("TCI")". TCI has not owned or managed these systems for several years. The hours are anconsistent with ComcasY s policies. Comcast only has 6 paid holidays. Comcast does not have "sick leave", but has "flex hours". ComcasYs calculafion assumes Page 1 of 2 Januazy, 2005 O Ashpaugh & Sculeq CPAs, PLC and Front Range Consukma, Ine. Ali rights reserved. RepoR analyses, conclusions and recommendations cannot be used without expressed written consent by both Ashpaugh & Sculco, CPAs, PLC and Front Range Consulring Inc. QS-� �3 ASHFAUGH & SNLCQ, CPAs, PLC C_rnCee °ubac nc_o.,�na:s zr.a Ccozv:<aou Front Range Consulting, Inc. every employee uses 100% of all vacarion, sick leave and holiday hours every year. The Consultants' analyses of other Comcast systezns have shown that this is not the case and that the number of non-productive hours is significantly less than 373. Comcast has significant hunover in installarion and technical personnel that result in less than 100% of vacation hours, flex hours and holiday hours being used, i.e. an employee terminates mid-year and does not receive compensarion for July 4, Labor Day, Thanksgiving or Chrishnas. The Consultants' prior analyses also showed training hours exceed 49 hours per employee and the Consultants' calcularion has increased this amount. As for othez non-productive hours, Comcast has not supported the amounts and the Consultants' analyses from prior Comcast systems shows that 104 hours is overstated. As such, based on the best available information, the Consultants have reduced the amount of non-productive hours from 373 to 224 and reflected tl�is adjustment in each sample system caiculation of employee labor hours. CONCLUSION The Consultants recommend that the participating LFAs include this Addendum with the Final Report and accept the findings set forth herein.

THE REPORT ERRS IN QUESTIONING THE STATISTICAL ACCURACY OF COMCAST'S SAIVIPLING ...............................................................................................20 CONCLUSION ..............................................................................................................................20 e E 1 c� a�43 co��vTS oF COMCAST CABLE COMMUNICATIONS, LLC ON THE FPi TAL REPORT ADTD ADDENDUM REGARDING THE NATIONAL FCC FORM 1205 Comcast Cabie Communicarions, LLC {"ComcasY' or the "Compan}�'} appreciates this opportunity to comment on the Final Report and Addendum regarding the Company's 2004 National FCC Form 1205 (the "Report"}, prepazed by Ashpaugh & Sculco, CPAs, PLC and Front Range Consulring, Ina (together, the "Consultants"). It is clear that the ConsulYants and Comcast disagree about a variety of procedutal and substantive issues, but the repeated suggestion that Comcast proceeded in bad faith is entirely unwarranted and inappropriate. Tn this regard, Comcast strongly objects to the Report's assertion that the Company "abused" the rate review process. The Company does not believe that this criticism is justified, and it will attempt to provide a more balanced perspective in these Comments. Comcast anficipates that each of the local franchising authorities ("LFAs") participating in this process will fairly consider these Comments in evaluating the reasonableness of ComcasYs zegulatory approach. I. THE REPORT ERRS IN ITS NEGATIVE CFIARACTERIZATION OF COMCAST'S COOPERATION AND RESPONSIVENESS. The Report emphasizes Comcast's alleged failure to respond fully to each and every Request For Information ("ItFI") propounded by the Consultants. An LFA reading the Report might mistakenly conclude thaf Comcast provided vixtualLy no support for the Form 12Q5. That simply is not true. The Company responded to more than a thousand RFI questions and provided what amounted to more than three feet of materiai to the Consultants. Comcast also provided electronic access to thousands of the Company's vendor invoices. d5 a �k 3 Unforhmately, the Consultants' attempt to depict Comcast as unreasonable and uncooperative (so as to justify refiance on their own altemative Form 1205 calculations) omits the notion that an efficient regulatory process requires "coope;ation" from both parties. The Report properly cites FCC precedent for the proposifion that cable operators aze expected to cooperate in the rate review process, but this same case law consistenfly condifions the operator's obligarion on receiving `Yeasonable requests" &om the LFA. Comcast appreciates that the parties may differ on what constitutes a"reasonable request," but the Consultaats err when they dismiss bona fide concems regarding an expansive and burdensome RFI as evidence of Comcast's bad faith. A. The Renort Mischaraeterizes the Invoice Review. The Consultants' distorted percepfion of the regulatory process is perhaps best illustrated by their criticism of ComcasYs reliance on existing financiai records and its preference for responding to RFIs with relevant eaccerpts from the general ledger, rather than with boxes of invoices. See, e.g, Report at 12-13. The FCC instrnctions to the Form 1205 plainly and unequivocally state that operatoxs "should complete ttus Form using financial data from the company's general ledger and suhsidiary records maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles:' FCC Form 1205 Instructions at 3. There is no suggestion iu ` Illustrarive of the Consuitants' antagonism to ComcasYs bona fzde concerns regarding the RFI process is their depiction of Comcast's efforts to move the review forward by seeking FCC guidance. The Report notes, "Comcast's filing of a Pefition for Declaratory Ruling sought to short-circuit the normal process by asking the FCC to become involved before any of the resulting analysis and conclusions could be addressed by the participating LFAs." Report at 9. In fact, ComcasYs FCC filing was well-intentioned. The Consultants and Comcast obviously disagreed as to the appropriate scope of review, and Comcast believed that it would be helpful to both parties if the FCC would quickly clarify this matter. Although the Consultants are certainly conect that disagreements can wait until rate orders are adopted and appeals aze filed, Comcast generaliy prefers a more cooperative and less costly approach to resolving differences. ComcasY filed the Declazatory Ruling Petition in pursuit of that obj ecrive. e5-a�3 those instructions that operators compiling the Form 12Q5 should ignore er.isting fivancial records and revisit each and every invoice. Given the tremendous time and effort expended by a variety of Company personnel and outside auditors to ensure the accuracy of the Company's financial records, it is reasonable for Comcast to prepaze the Form 1205, and for LFAs to review the Form 1205, in reliance on those records. Comcast feazs that the Consultants, in their zeal, have disregazded the "s�eamlined" objectives that aze a critical part of the existing benchmazk regulatory scheme and have tumed this review process into something never intended by the Commission. With that said, Comcast acquiesced to the Consultants and provided access to a11 of the requested vendor invoices. Comcast made available an electronic document retrieval system that allowed the Consultants to view the requested invoices. Nevertheless, the Report complains that the Consultants' access to these vendor invoices "did not work well and was very cumbersome," Report at 13, and it implies that Comcast deliberately complicated the data access process to sabotage the review. These allegafions are unwarranted. In truth, Comcast went to considerable effort to facilitate the Consultants' review. The Company arranged for special access to the electronic retrieval system at separate offices in Leesburg, Florida and Denver, Colorado, so as to minixnize any trauel burden for the Consultants. Although Mr. Ashpaugh reports that the retrieval process at the Florida office was slow, he wrongly suggests that Comcast had a better option available. The truth is that if Z The FCC estimates that it will take just 20 hours for an operator to complete FCC Form 1205, "including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of informarion." Id. at 5. 3 Comcast disagrees that hazd copies of the invoices would have been easier to work with, which is why the Company does not retain hazd copies for its own use. If Comcast had hard copies of the requested invoices, they would have been provided to the Consultants. os a �3 Comcast were itseLf to produce every invoice the Consultants demanded, it would have had to go tluough the exact process that Mr. Ashpaugh found so unreasonable that he was unwilling to proceed. Mr. Ashpauah's complaint regarding his inability to access certaiu system information is also unfair. The Report fails to menrion that Comcast gave Mr. Ashpaugh comprehensive lisfs of each and every invoice requested (including dates, invoice numbers, payee names, and dollars amounts) in advauce of his visit to the Leesburg office. This information (which required many hours of work by several different Company departments to assemble) should have facilitated a targeted review, yet Mr. Ashpaugh did not even bother to bring that information with him. Comcast provided the lists a second time, and it was fully prepared to provide whatever additional insh or repairs were necessary for Mr. Ashpaugh to complete his task. Although the Report complains that "Comcast has still never made the missing information available," Report at 13, the truth is the Consultants have had the option of accessing that information and chose not to exercise it. When Comcast staff returned Mr. Ashpaugh's cail from the Leesburg office to see if they could heip him resolve his appazent access problem, the offer was rejected. Mr. Ashpaugh eacplained, "T'm in my caz on the way back to my office." He never retumed, and Mr. Treich never visited the Colorado office made auailable to him. Of course, the most remarkable aspect of this particular dispute is the fact that it involves a review of invoices. The scope of the Consultants' inquiry was truly extraordinary. Instead of crificizing Comcast for not maidng the invoice retrieval process even easier, the Consultants should be applauding Comcast for the extraortiinary lengths it went to accommodate this review. ¢ It shouid be noted that Comcast staff tested the electronic retrieval system both prior and subsequent to Mr. Ashpaugh's visit and had no difficulty retrieviag the system information Mr. Ashpaugh claims he was unable to acces's. 05 ay 3 Requests ta review contractor invoices are exceptionally rare. In one instance when it did occur, Mr. Treich, who then Ied the regulatory accounting group responsable for_rate filings at AT&T Broadband, instructed his staff not to provide invoices to regulatory consultants, because he regarded those requests as overly burdensome. B. Comcast Did Not Deliberatelv Comvlicate the Review Process. It is not reasonahle to criticize Comcast for "mal�ng the RFI process an unnecessarily time-consuming and burdensome `paper waz,"' Repoxt at 12, when the Consultants refused to rely on general ledger reports and demanded instead that Comcast produce actual vendor invoices. That extraordinary demand is ineconcilable with the interest the Consultants profess - here in simplifying the review process and avoiding a"paper waz." In any event, on at least two occasions, Comcast and the Consultants did attempt to schedule a conference call to discuss preliminary procedural matters. Comcast subsequently declined to participafe in an informal discussion only when it becaxne appazent that a conflict issue regarding Mr. Treich's prior work at AT&T Broadband needed to be resolved first. Comcast appreciates its responsibility to respond to RFIs issued by certified LFAs. In this case, however, it was far from cleaz whether the various RFIs forwarded by the Consultants were actuaIly being issued on behalf of the LFAs. The consultants originally approached Comcast without identifying any of the LFAs they purportedly represented. Although a list was subsequently provided, at least one LFA who the Consultants claimed to represent told Comcast 5 The Consultants are similarly disingenuous in claiuung that Comcast wanted RFIs mailed to the Company "for no apparent reason but with the effect of delaying the receipt and fulfillment of requests." Report at 12. As the Consultants aze well awaze, the e-maii delivery of RFIs during the week of August 23 contributed to a lock-up of "in box" capabiliries of Comcast's Director of Rate Regularion. Comcast's request that RFIs be forwarded by mail was simply to avoid repeating that problem and to minimize the possibility of inadvertently deleting any of the RFIs. 05 a� 3 otherwise. To make matters worse, there aze now a number of LFAs who claim to be relying on the Report, but who were not identified as participants during the RFI process. It is hardly reasonable for an LFA to issue a rate decision based on alleged deficiencies in ComcasYs RFI responses, when Comcast had no reason to believe it was responding to that particulaz LFA. G The Renort Mischaraeterizes ComcasPs Level of Resnonsiveness Although the Consultants complain that some of ComcasYs answers were not adequately detailed, they faii to aclmowledge that the Company actually responded to hundreds of questions within very short timeframes. Cazeful consideratiott of the examples the Report provides of Comcast.'s supposedly egregious misconduct fails to support the ConsultanYs negative - characterization. The Report, for instance, emphasizes ComcasYs failure to "provide a signed letter from an Officer of Comcast certifying that ALL of these cost categories were unbundled in Schedule B in each and every original 1205 filed on or about August 12, 1994 by Comcast and its predecessors in interest with each of the LFAs where this Nafional 1205'was filed." Report at 11. The Report concludes thaY the Company's refusal "is indicative of ComcasYs belief that it may unilaterally decide what infoxmation it will provide to the participating LFAs." Report at 12. In fairuess, Comcast repeatedly explained to the Consultants why factual circumstances made it "impossible to comply with this request." Report at 11. The Company went on to explain why it thought the request was improper, and it volunteered available informarion that it believed was relevant to this inquiry, even if not exactly what was reqnested. It is difficult to imagine what else Comcast could do in this circumstance. 6 Comcast objects to any LFA relying on the Report where there was never a notification by either the LFA or the Consultants during the review process that the LFA was a part of the group of LFAs who had retained the Consultants to reeiew the Company's I3ational Form 1205. D 5-a 43 Comcast will address tfie substantive merits of the unbundling issue in the next section. The point here is simply that the Consultants err in impugning ComcasYs comznitment to cooperate based an an "impossible" request. The ConsuItants themselves aze well awaze that Comcast could not, in good faith, provide the requested certificarion. Comcast does not believe that the LFAs would want the Company to provide a false certification sunply to appease the Consultants. II. THE REPORT ERRS IN PENALIZING COMCAST FOR ALLEGEB UNBUNDLING INCONSTSTENCIE5. The Report repeatedly crificizes Comcast for failing to show that particulaz cost - components included in the current Forxn 1205 filing (e.g., bonuseslcommissions, property ta�ces, and insurance) were "unbundled" in all of the original Form 1205 filings subxnitted more than a decade ago by the various companies that owned the many cable systems that now constitute Comcast 7 It is perverse that Comcast is expected to rebut that criticism, when the Consultants already laiow the untenable posifion in wluch they have placed the Company. Indeed, Mr. Treich previously was the nation's leading proponent for eliminating any requirement that an operafor show unbundling consistency. He properly recognized that such a requirement, even if once justifiable, has been rendered unworkable by the passage of time and changed circumstances. Given the passage of more than a decade since the current era of cable rate regulation commenced, a categorical approach Yo unbundling is incompatible with ordinazy business development. Surely an operator who failed to unbundle a very small cost component in 1993, that subsequentIy grew eacponentially, should not be permanently precluded from including that � The Report errs in chastising Comcast for refusing to provide initial Form 1205 filings. The Company did provide copies of those filings for the relatively few sample systems for which the initial filings could be located. o5-au3 escalating cost in its rate filings. A rigid unbundling cut-off is ureconcilable with changing business praciices, pazticulazly in the dynamic, technologically-evolving cable indushy. Indeed, new costs may have arisen subsequent to 1993, and that hazdly means that the recovery of such costs should be denied because tkey were not "unbundled." Comcast explained in its Comments in the pending rutemaking on Revzrions to Cable Television Rate Regulation, MB Docket Na. 02-144, MM Docket Nos. 42-266, 43-215, CS Docket Nos. 94-28 and 96-157 (2002), that rigid adherence to "unbuadling" principles increasingly threatens to undermine the viability of the benchmark regulatory scheme. Indeed, the unbundling issue really should arise only when the LFA can demonstrate that the operator deliberately manipulated its initial and subsequent rate filings to evade the Coxnmission's rate regulafions. Cable operators should not, in fainaess, be required to shouider the insurtnountable burden of demonstrating that each and every cost reflected in its current FCC Form 1205 was properly unbundled a dozen years eazlier. The probiem with the Report's draconian "unbundling" approach is manifest m its h of "bonuses/commissions: ' The Report claims that the "Consultants reviewed a number of 1994 Form 1205s and concluded that these items...do not appeaz to be part of the Schedule B aznounts shown." Report at 15. The observation assumes that bonuses and cominissions existed in 1993 and had a separate ledger enhy at that time. In fact, it is possible that many of the system operators did not offer bonuses and commissions as part of their 1993 compensation scheme. It is also possible that these items did exist in 1943, but were not separately recorded in the financial records. In either instance, the Consultants would have $ See Comcast Comments, Review to Cable Television Rate Regulation (submitted Nov. 4, 2002). 9 Comcast recognizes that there is potentially conflicting FCC precedent, but this precedent does not address the circumstances of ComcasPs current filing. � a�3 found no evidence on the inifiat Form 1205 filings thaf bonuses and commissions were unbundled in 1993, yet those items should clearly be included in the current Form 1205, even under a strict unbundling regime. Although the Report suggests that bonuses and commission were not unbundled in the former AT&T Broadband J TCI systems, the basis for tlus asserfion is uncleaz. To the best of Comcast's Imowledge, the P&L statements used by TCI in the initial 1205 did not contain sepazate line items for bonuses and commissions. Those costs would simply have been entered as "Salaries." As such, they would have been unbundled as part of TCI's inirial Fonn 1205 filings. In any event, the Report goes no fiuther than asserting that bonuses and commissions "were not unbundled by a majority of the systeuLS." (Emphasis added.) Regort at 15. The Consultants aze effectively conceding that at least some of the systems did unbundle these costs. How, then, can the Consultants recommend that all bonuses and commissions be excluded today based on purported unbundting concerns? This same problem exists wherever the Consultants reject a cost component based on purported unbundling concems. In the case of insurance, for example, the Report notes, "Phe consuitants' review of the prior Form 1205s filed by systems now part of Comcast has revealed that in many of these systems, the cable operator did not include insurance as part of Schedule B casts." (Emphasis added.) Reporf at 18. Again, the Consultants do not eacplain why even a rigid unbundling analysis requires an exclusion of all insurance costs from the current Form 1205. To the best of ComcasYs irnowledge, the Company's original Form 1205 8lings included, among other things, property tases, insurance, and office personnel. The Consultants do not aclmowledge tFus £act, yet they have removed the contested costs from these systems as well. o5-a�3 III. THE REPORT ERRS ]N ADJUSTING COMCAST'S ESTTMATED TIMES FOR INSTALLATION ACTIVITIES Among the remarkable proposals in the Report is the recomxnendation that the Company's own estimates of the time necessary to complete certain installation activifies should be rejected and replaced by attemative &gures created by the Consultants. The Consultants do _ not contest that a cable ogerator ordinarily can rety on the time estimates provided by its own _ field personnel, but they assert that the estimates in the case aze unreliable because Comcast ; provided prejudicial "guidance" to the &eld. Report at 24. This is simply wrong and is one of - many examples where the Report is based not on Comcast's costs but on the ConsultanYs - unsupported postularions that are just_not probarive when compared to ComcasYs own operating , experience. The so-called "guidance" Comcast provided was simply an identification of the preceding year's rime &gures. The instrucrioris to field personnel make it clear that they are free to change those figures. In fact, field personnel frequently adjust the prior year's figure. Although the Report looks at four specific installation activities and concludes that "over half of the twenty sample systems appear to have followed the `guidance' received from ComcasYs corporate level," Report at 24, this is truly a"half empt}�' analysis. It is also true that of 80 surveyed responses (i.e., 20 systems addressing 4 different installation activiries), 34 responses (or more than 42%) were adjusted. In fact, a more comprehensive review of the field surveys reveals that each and every respondent adjusted at least one enhy. The point here is simple — there is nothing nefarious in ComcasPs collecfion of field data. It is hazdly surprising that the estimated rime to complete certain installarion activities did not vary from those reported for the prior yeaz, as installation times tend to be relatively stable on a year-to-year basis. The record evidence cleariy shows that field personnel were free to adjust 10 os a�3 fhose figutes based on their independent judgment and that they regulazly exercise that prerogative. The ConsuitanYs manipulation of the `�oint system" used in Company's "work task tables" is equally distarbing, because by doing so they omitted a material component of the rate calculation — drive time. The Consultants, in effect, requested data from Comcast that was not developed for puTposes of rate regulation and then used the data to create an alternative rate scheme. Comcast provided those work task tables to the Consultants because they explicifly requested this material. The Company never suggested that the work task tables (that aze developed and used for very different purposes than rate regularion) shouid be controlling in this context. To the conUary, the Company's response emphasized, "Comcast has used the past eaperience of its technical personnel to make their best estimate of avarage houts spent per installation activity." Report at 20. It reiterated, "The technical personnel rely upon the work task table and points assigned to help them deternune the best estimate of average hours spent per installation activity." Report at 20. (Emphasis added.) The Consultants had no basis to rely on the work task tables (rather than the field esfimafes). As the Consultants themselves recognize, the work task tables do not necessarily attempt to accurately track the titne spent on particular tasks. This is well illustrated by the Flint, Michigan work task tables, which simply assign a single point to each task. Report at 21-22. Even in cases where the work task figures aze more time sensifive, they do not comport with regulatory specifications. Among other things, the work task figures typically exctude drive time. Without an allowance for this drive time, Comcast could never be made whole for its instaIlation and maintenance activiries. It is for these reasons, that the field personnel might Io The point system is typically used to help schedule work so that each installer/technician has a reasonable workload each day. 11 o5-a�3 consider work task tables, but ultimately rely on their own best estimate in responding to fhe Forxn 1205 survey (w2uch is precisely what the FCC expecYs). iV. THE REPORT ERRS IN ADJUSTING REPORTED HOURS. The Consultants wrongly contend that Comcast has underesfimated labor hours used in the Form 1205 (and thereby improperly "loaded" the Hourly Service Chazge) by overstating the average number of non-productive hours per employee. Their azgument is premised on Comcast's decision to use the conservative hour methodology previously employed by TCI / AT&T Broadband {under Mr. Treich's direction). They claim that the "faulty supporting evidence" for that methodology is "inconsistent with Comcast's poIicies." Addendum at 1. It was ComcasYs intenrion in conrinuing to rely on the more conservative TCI / AT&T Broadband approach (which was previously used in TCUAT&T's national filing) to a�oid a dispute regarding changed policies. As the Report rejects this oprion, Comcast is compelled to update the previousIy reported figures to reflect the Company's current personnel policies. The update conf'irms that the original methodology used in the filing was an extremely conservative one. The 373 hour figure for "non-productive" time cla.imed in ComcasYs filing actually understates the amount of non-producrive rime associated with Comcast personnel. The Consultants' unilateral reduction in the reported non-producrive tune by 30 percent (from 373 hours to 224 hours) is patently unreasonable. The Company's current personnel policies allow: 56 holiday hows 24 floating holiday hours 64 flex time hours 80 to 160 vacation hours (depending upon years of service) Total potential paid time-off= 224 to 304 hours. 12 05 a�3 Remazkably, the 224 hour figure recommended in the Report exactly matches the amount of "leave" that the most }unioL Comcast employee receives. It falls well short of the "leave" availabie fo more seniar personnel, and it makes absolutely no allowance for any other form of non-productive time. As the Consultan#s themselves acknowledge, a substantial amount of safety training time needs to be added to this tally. Indeed, they voluuteer that the 49 h�aining hours ori�nally reported understates actual fraining time. Addendum at 2. When these training hours aze considered, the non-producfive figure recommended by the Consultants becomes even more unrealistic. The Consultants next assert that the additional 104 "non-productive" hours claimed by Comcast is overstated. Yet this tally amounts to just 25 minutes per day. The assertion that 25 minutes per day spent on a variety of "non-producfive" tasks is overstated, makes no sense, particulazly when one considers that this figure includes the drive time back from the final job of the day (which typically consumes 15 minutes). Once that drive rime is deducted, only 10 minutes each day would be le$ for complefing paperwork, comznunicating with technical supervisors and office personnel, submitting payroli timesheets, refueling vehicles, etc. The Consultants cannot possibly believe that 10 minutes per day on such tasks is excessive. In fact, Comcast suspects that the 104 hour it submitted is faz too low. In short, if any adjustment to the non-productive hours originally claimed by Comcast were warranted, it would be an increase, not a decrease. V. THE REPORT ERRS IN ITS TREATMENT OF THE STEP "A" ALLOCATION. At several different junctures, the Report criticizes Comcast for not providing sufficient detail for the Consultants to deternune whether a particular cost component should be included in the Form 1205. The Report wrongly concludes that the allocation factor calculated in Step A 13 05 a�� f•ails to remove all the costs that should be excluded from Yhe equipment basket, and it recommends a drunatic and azbitrary reduction in the allocation factor to resolve this supposed problem. In so doing, the Consultants improperiy reduce the Company's eligible equipment basket costs. The Consultants cleazly misunderstand the Step A allocation factor used by Comcast. They assert; "Comcast uses an allocation factor based on salaries and wages by detem the regulated portion and comparing it to total Technical salaries pius salaries for a group called `Other'. This does not include all salaries and wages within the system and, as such over- allocates costs to regulated services." (Emphasis added.) Report at 17. In fact, the Consultants are exactly wrong. The comparison of "regulated" compensation to "non-regulated" compensation does include in the latter group all salaries and wages within the system. That is accomplished through the inclusion of the `bther" group in the oalculation. It is precisely for this reason that ComcasYs Form 1205 produces such a low allocation factor — just 16.27°/a. If, as the Consultants suggest, the allocation calculation began with just Technical Salaries in the denominator, the allocation factor would be much higher. Comcast applies the Step A allocation factor to a relatively limited number of account enhies that include at least some regulated activity. The Iow allocation factor used by Comcast - ensures that certain "general" costs (like "Maintenance & Repair Costs" and "Property Tases") are adjusted so only an appropriately smail portion of those costs are assigned to regulated activiries. The addiflonal adjusUnents the Consultants prapose would wrongly create a"double" deduction and artificially reduce equipment basket costs. The Washington, DC sample system is a good example. A local allocarion factor is developed to compare regulated activities to all other system activities. As a result, the total 14 05-�3 Schedule B Salaries-Regular of 510,860,397 was reduced by a 12.44°/a allocation factor to just 51,351,033. The problem with the Report's approach is manifest ia their treahnent of `Bonuses/Commissions.°' The Consultants insist that they need to Imow more details regarding bonuses/commissions (which appeaz under the "technical" category, as well as under other employee categories) to ensure that they are "achxally related to regulated activifies." Report at 16. They ultimately eliminate this cost entry entirely based on their "belie[ff that such bonus and commission plans aze not tied directly to activities such as installation and are therefore not includable in the Form 1205." Report at 16. In fact, the entry needs to be included, because it is unquestionably part of the Company's overall compensation scheme. The e�sting allocation factor properly ensures that only a small portion of the total bonuses/commissions entry is included in the equipment basket. Removing that entry from considerarion altogether gives an inaccurate picture of the total compensation scheme upon which the allocation factor functions. The WasYungton, DC example provided above illustrates that only 12.44% of local bonuses/ commissions were included in the final Form 1205 Schedule B for this sample system. VI. THE REPORT INCLUDES NUMEROUS ADAITIONAL ERRORS The Report recommends a variety of other erroneous adjustments to ComcasYs rate filings. Comcast will Iv ghlight a few of those errors here so as to illustrate the pervasive scope of the Report's flaws. A. Contractor Time The Report adjusts the contractor time reported by Comcast based on erroneous assumprions. As a prelirninary mater, Comcast objects to the adjushnents, because they are not adequately explaiued and Comcast has been unable to replicate the Consultants' results. 15 a5-a�3 Comcast also disagrees that the Company's reported activity timas should be averaged between "contracfo�" time and "in-house" time. The contractor time reported typically excludes drive- time, so any resulting average is disForted. Comcast also objects to the Report's finding that "Drap aciivifies aze not part of the Form 1205 regulated activities, and their cost should not be included in the prices for installation activities." Report at 26. This assumption is wrong. Although the FCC typically specified which costs should be included in the equipment basket and which should be excluded, it afforded cable operators discretion with regazd to the labor costs associated with drop installations. Tn Comcast Cabtevision of Tatlahassee, Inc., 10 FCC Rcd. 7686 (1995), the Commission discussed the two available oprions for addressing drop labor. It concludes, "Comcast makes it abundantly clear that it elected to recover the cost of labor associated with the installation of subscriber drops through the installation chazge." Id. at paza. 36. The Commission went on to state that, given this election, "Comcast is required tA include the labor cosfs and labor hours associated with subscriber drop installations in the calculation of the ASC." Id. The Report's exclusion of any contract labor costs ar hours associated with drop installation contradicts this FCC mandaYe. B. Warehouse Personnel The Consultants remove wazehouse personnel costs and labor hours from Schedule B based on the mistaken assumption that those costs and hours aze already captured as capitalized costs on Schedule C. In fact, Comcast does not include any wazehousing costs in Schedule C. All of the wazehousing costs were properly reported on Schedule B. Comcast can only assume that the Schedule C costs to wluch the Consultants aze referring are those costs associated with the authorization of digital converters. These costs 16 �-a� 3 (which aze capitalized) are paid direcfly to the converter manufacturers. They aze separate and apart from the costs Comcast pays to its own wazehouse personnel for handling converter inventory. AccordingIy, the assumption that Comcast is making a double-recovery on wazehouse personnel costs is in eaor. C. O�ce Personnel The Report errs in concluding that Comcast did not adequately support its time estimates, because "Comcast did not provide the requested information for any of the sample systems." Report at 19. Comcast actually provided the Consultants in September 2004 with copies of the field survey sent to the sampled systems to develop time estimates. Comcast simultaneously provided completed copies of those same surveys in response to the sample system RFIs. Comcast also provided the Consultants with the requested work task reports in response to the sample system RFIs. The final four work task reports (which the Report enoneously claims were never provided, Report at 20, n.23) were sent to the Consultants on October 7 in a follow- up response. � t As the Consultants requested, the field surveys contained the names and fiUes of the system contacts for eacl� sample systexn. These contacts were the personnel ulrimately responsible for the information contained in the sample system support document that was provided with ComcasYs response. In short, Comcast properly provided existing material responsive to the RFI. D. Inside Wirine The Report errs in eluninating 50% of the inside wiring trouble calls reported by Comcast simply because significant number of customers may subscribe to an optional wire maintenance t 1 The follow-up response was provided as soon as the final documents were received from the field. 17 o5-a�� plan and not be separately "charged" for trouble calls. When Comcast prepazes the Form 1205, it does not know whether a particulaz customer will be subj ect to the regulated rate charge. The only logical way for the Company to proceed is to complete the calculation as if every inside wiriug trouble call cvill be regulated. If a pacticulaz customer ends up paying the Company on a different basis (i. e., through the opfional inside wiring plan), it does not change the fact that the regulated rate unit was properly set. E. Customer Trouble Calls The Report errs in reducing the 40 minute estimate provided by Comcast for customer trouble calls by 50 percent. Considering that the average drive time to a customer site is approximately 15 minutes, that would give each technician jnst 5 minutes to greet the customer, entex the customer's home, locate and check the cable equipment and various equipment interfaces, fix the problem (if any) with ComcasYs equipment, explain the solution to the customer, get fhe customer's signature on the work order, and return to the iruck. Many situations today involve sophisticated home theater systems, with a vaziety o£video and audio interfaces, and it may take considerable time to identify and resolve a problem. The Consultants en in assuming that the Comcast technician quickly exits a hoasehold npon determining that the problem is related to customer equipment. As a pracfical matter, to promote customer safisfaction, the technician will somerimes resoive the problem even when it is detemuned that the problem is not direcfly associated with Comcast equipment. F. VCR Connections The Report errs in eliminating any chazge for VCR connections. Comcast gathered the available information from sample systems and provided that information to the Consultants. Although that information may have been lunited, the Consultants concede that at least some of � 85-��! 3 the Field Data Reports did record VCR connection activities, Report at 31, and field personnel were able to pmvide time estimates for completing VCR connections. The limited records regazding V CR connections likely reflecirs the fact that many systems voluntarily forUear from imposing this modest fee on cable customers. That does not mean, however, that the systems aze nof entitled to impose such a fee. G. DVR Service The Regort errs in asserting regulatory authority over Comcast's DVR service simply because that service happened to be inadvertently identified on certain rate cards as an "equipmenY' charge. As the Consultants do not dispute that DVR service can be offered on an unregulated basis, it would irrationally elevate form over substance to adopt a contrary approach based on a mistaken formatting of rate cazds. The rate cazd error idenrified by the Consultants apparently occurred in the communities represented by the North Suburban Communications Commission in Minnesota, but that hardly jusfifies precluding a recovery of DVR service fees on a nationwide basis. The vast majority of ComcasY s service areas followed corporate policy and properly identified tkle DVR fee as a service charge. H. Unreturned Eauinment Char�e The Report errs in asserting that charges imposed for unreturned equipment must be subjected Yo the Form 1205, particulazly because some pricing flexibility is necessary in this azea to deter thefr. The Commission has never required that such charges be subject to regulation. There aze no existing instructions to calculate this sort of a chazge, and there is no place on the Form 1205 to make such a calcularion. An unretumed chazge is assessed only when a customer fails to honor its obligation to return leased equipment, and it necessarily falls outside the ordinary Form 1205 restraints. 19 c�-a�+ 3 VII. THE REPORT ERRS IN OUESTIONING THE STATISTICAL ACCURACY OF COMCAST'S SAIVIPLPiiG. The end of the Report discusses a variety of different concems that do not directly lead to a change in ComcasYs Form I205, but aze appazently presented to casf further doubt on the integrity of that filing. Although Comcast will not address each of those concems, it is compelled to respond to the criticism of the Company's sampling methodology. The criticism is disconcerting, because (to the best of ComcasYs lmowledge) neither Mr. Ashpaugh nor Mr. Treich is a irained statistician. Comcast (like AT&T Broadband before it) has relied on the statistical work of Robert C. Hannum, Ph.D. Departrnent of Statistics and Opzrations Technology, Daniels College of Business, Universiry of Denver. Comcast shared the Report's purported concern that fewer "systems" aze included in the sample than when Dr. Hannum first adopted a sampling methodology for TCI in t996. Dr. Hannum provided the following explanation to Comcast: The systems (management azeas) are not smaller now, but lazger. This is, in fact, why the sample size can be smaller; the larger population is cfivided into fewer systems and hence a smaller sample can capture more of the population. Note for exampte, that the average percentage of subscribers in the population captured in the four yeazs since 2001 (including the current 2004 sample) when the sample was reduced to twenfy because of the aggregation aliuded to above is actually greater (32%) than that for the first &ve yeazs when the sample size was foriy (26%). It may help to consider in the extreme — if the population consisted of onty one system, the necessary saxnple size would be just one system. Accordingiy, the Report's sampling concerns are ill-founded. CONCLUSTflN Contrary to the allegations made in the Report, Comcast recognizes and respects the regulatory authority of its local franchise authoriries, and it is committed to cooperating in the 12 Comcast disagrees with the Consultants that any of the minor adjustments made in the Form 1205 process affect the statistical accuracy of the established sampling methodology. 20 raEe review process. It is essenrial, however, that LFAs and their advisors proceed in a reasanable fasFuon. These Comments have idenfified several critical azeas where the Report is deficient. The errors reflect mistaken assumptions and conclusions by the Consultants. In some azeas, the Consultants misunderstood or misconstrued ComcasYs submission. In other azeas, they wrongly discredited and discounted ComcasYs filings and concems. These enors must be corrected, because they materially and unreasonably reduce ComcasYs equipment and installarion rates. Altematively, the Report should be rejected in its entirety.

SUMMAItY The substantive poxtions of Comcast's comments have genezaily not provided any infoxmation that convinces the Consultants to altei the secommendations contained in fhe Final Repoxt.. Comcast does not challenge many of'the adjushnents made bg the Consultants, Foi example, Comcast does not challenge the adjustment made to Convexter Repau and Maintenance. This adjusiment removed ten percent (10%) of'the costs of'this categoiy because an invoice xeview showed cable modem costs were included in the gen�al Iedger accounts far converters. With respecf to those adjustments Comcast does challenge, many of the cxificisms are misplaced. Comcast spends a signifieant amount of'its comnnents ciificizing Consultants pexsonaily Such ctiticisms do not support Comcas#'s proposed zates, and foi that reason these is littie reason to focus on them in this regort (even Though we disa�ee with the company's claims}, Likewise, Comcast argues that the Consultants asked for an ucueasonable amount of' detail, azguing, foi example, that a review of'invoices was unnecessaty (Comments at 2-5). Detailed suppo�fing info2mation was required because Comcast's geneialized statements proved wueliable. Comcast, for example, assw°ed Consultants that cable modem costs were not inclnded in the accounts used to piepaze the Foim 1205. Ihe ConsuItanYs review of individual invoices showed that the company's rep2escntation was noT acctuate.

Detailed below is a lisfing of the azeas where Comcast has not piovided any response or comments to the Consultants' Fanai Repox2 and Addendum. • Bonuses and Commissians (discussed in Final Repoxt, VIII A} — Bonuses and commission wese disailowed because {a} Comcast failed to show that they had been unbundled from seivice iates; but as iruportanfly (b) because Comcast did not show the bonuses and commissions were related to regulated equipment. Comcast does not address tke second point, wluch by itself justified disallowance of'tke bonus and commission plans • Insiallation Times (Final Report VIII.K) — Consultants pointed out t12at ComcasYs selected ii�stalIation times did not match tfie times recommended by theu own analyst, Dt.

Comcast did not chalIenge this cancIusion, but in its Coatments pioposes no ad}usiment to aates to con�ect tkis exror (ihe campany does challenge the Consultants' exclusion of'labor Yime associated wzth installing a dtop to the subscxibet's home, but that was only one of'the activities impropetly incladed in the laboi estimates). • Payroll Izxes (Final Repoit VIII.D} — Comcast did not addxess ttris azea at a11, howevei, this adj�ast[nent would follow the treatment of'bonuses and commissions. • Othei Converter Asset Costs (Final Repoxt VIII.O 2-3) — Comcast provided no comments with respect to this issue • Cab1eCARDS (Fina1 Repott VIII.P..1) — Comcast did not provide any comments on this issue. . • FIDI V Installations (Finai Repart VIII.� — Comcast did not ptovide any comments on this issue.

UnbundIing Ihe FCC Foim 1205 sets iates for regulated equipment The FCC Foim I240 sets iates for service. Both foxms aze filed annually. The FCC's iate regulation system iequued operators to remove all regulated equipment-related costs from seivice xates, so tkat equipment and service costs could be sef sepazately. "Unbundling" eqnipment costs from seivice rates was c2itical to the integiity of the scheme. An opeiator that left an equipment-relafed cost in service rates was able to keep sezvice iates lugher.. If that opeiatoi then latex included the equipment cost in a Foim 1205 filing without making an offsetting reduction in sexvice iates, the opexatoi would be recovecing the same cost in seivice iates and equipment iates — a double recovezy. Ihe FCC has genexally iefused to accept cable ope�ator methodologies thaE result in such a double recovery.. In 1999, the F CC applied this iule in reviewing a national tate filing made by a cable opetatoi, ICI. (See e.g.,. In the Matter of TCI Cablevision of'Oregon, Inc. d1B/a TCI o}Tualatin Valley, Inc DA 99-2227 (1999) According to ICI, its na6onal rate filing set equipment iates for systems where a pacticulaz equipment costs had been unbnndled and also foi systems where the same cost had not been unbundled ICI azgued that it would be too butdensome to iequire the company to ensure that costs had been unbundled evexywheie, particularly in light of the time fhat had passed since the initial unbundling, and in light of' fhe fact thaY many of the systems coveied by its fiiing had been awned by different eompanies initialiy. Ihe Commission, howevex, concluded that unbundling was required: "nothing" pexmits opeiators to "�ecovei the same costs tluough both progiamnting and equipment iates " Ihis case, like the Tuatatin case, involves a nafional filing that combines costs fr'om systems that had been previously owned by seveial different cable opeYatoxs. Ihe costs iden6fied in each irutia11205 with each of'the pazticipating LFAs on this pro}ect oiiginally related to local ox regionaI filiugs Each filing was unique, and filings in one iegion did not always use the same methodology foi unbundling as in anottier xegion, even within the same company.. Consultants, xelying in pazt on t3�eu �pezieace in reviewing past equipment filings, identified costs wkere (a} they laiew that unbundling had not occuired for at least some of the systems coveied by the filing; ox (b) the cost item had not previously appea�ed in local Foim 1205 filings Absent same 2 See alsoTones Communrcations oJGeor•gidSouth Cmolina, Inc rUb/a lones Communications (Savannah and Chatham County, Gemgia), DA 04-2448 {August 4, 2004) Page 3 of Zb Febauazy 2005 � Ashpaugh & Sculco, CPAC, PL�C �d Front R�ge Consul5ng, Inc All xights reserved Report analyses, conciusions and recommendazions canaot be used without expressed writtrn epnsent by both Ashpaugh & Sculco, CPAs PLC attd Front Range Consulling Inc c� -a�3 ' �_ r ASHPAUGH & SCULCO CPAs, PlC Cutn Psbiic e.cro�r.aa-s u.s Cw. il::c: Front Range Consniting, Inc. proof that a cast i#em which was making its initial appeazance on a foim was in fact a new cost item, it was reasonabie to assume that tl�e cost had not been unbundled in the past. Ihe Final Repoit found that Comcast had failed to show that unbundling had occuned with tespect to costs associated with office pexsonnel and warehouse petsonnel, insurance, property tases, maintenance and repair — plant and equipment, and bonuses and commissions 3 With iespect to each of these costs, there we�e also si�ificant additional reasons for reducing oi iemovina the proposed cost from iates, Comcast's Comments beginiring on page 7 iegazding the `�nbuadling" issue appeac to admit tbat its approachto unbundling is inconsistent witfi some FCC precedent Ft azgues that the piecedent should not be applied in this cu cumstance, because of the passage of time, business complications and buiden Similaz azgtunen#s against unbundling weie raised and rejected by tl�e FCC in Tuatatin Yalley, and Consultants have been presented with no facts that would justify a different approach here. Ihe company does not chaltenge the conclusion of Consultants that costs associated with office personnel and wazehouse peisonnel, instuance; pioperty tases, ruaintenanoe and repau — plaut and equipment, and bonuses and commissions we:e no# unifoimly unbuudled. Comcast acgues (Comments at 9) that disallowing costs based on unbundling concems is inappinpiiate since some systems may have unbundled, even if othe�s did nat s However, that was also the case in Tualatin T�alley, where the Commission emphasized that it was incumbent on the opetatos to fully unbundle costs if'it wishad to recover thcm tluou� a national filing. ' ComcasYs data responses showed that costs had not been fvlly unbundled. Systems previously owned by IKR, foi example, had not unbundled insutance and propetty taxes As anothex example, ptiot filings made in Denver and Montgomery County did not include costs the company included in tha Fozm 1205 in this filing While the company states (at p. 9} That to the "best of'ComcasYs Imowledge" filings coveting systems iY owned in 1993 unbundled insutance costs, pinpetTy taxes and office personnel, tfiose sysfems would tepresent only a small percentage of the systems coveied by the cutrent nationai filing. In addirion, Comcast does not state that even the systems if owned unbundled bonuses and commissionc 4 Conceining bonuses and commissions, the Coasu$ants specificalfy requested infotmation and support foi ihe reason Comcast believed bonuses and commissions were applicable to Fotm 1205 regulated activity Comcast did not grovide it. As fu as the Consultants know, the bonuses and commissions conld well i�elate to sales and installation acavity associated with cable modems. Euen if'bonuses and commissions wete ptoperly unbundled in the 1994 Fotm 1205, such costs wouid only be included in the instant 1205 to the extent the costs related to regulated activity No suah relationship has been demonsh�ated oi supported by Comcast 5 Comcast wouid apply this rule even i#'the majoiity of sysiems had failed to unbundIe the costs Comcast does not appeaz� to challenge the Consul2ants' assertion that unbundling had not been gecformed in a substanrial numhei of the systems.

Comcast ar�uues (Comments at 8) that bonuses and commissions might have been unbundted because they might have been included in Iine items £or salazies. Likewise, tfie company azgues that bonuses and commissions might be new costs. Howevei, nothing presented to Consultants and nothing in ComcasYs comments actually sfiow that bonuses and commissions were included in other costs and unbundled foi the systems covered by the Filing, and nothing shows that the costs aze new costs. What is cleaz is ihai tke bon�ses and commission cost item did not appeaz in seveial previous Fotm 1205s (Montgomeiy County is one example)_ ComcasYs speculafive azgument effectively pioposes to incIude costs if one can imagine thax they might have been unbundled in some cases.. Bnt Tualatin Yalley appeazs to requue companies to fake steps to ensute unbundling occzus. Ihat has not occuued, as faz as the recotd shows Finally, Comcast acgues thaf Mr. Izeich of Front Range Consulting, Inc., opposed unbundling when he worked in the cable industry. Ihe comment is suzpxising in light of'the fact thaf the authors of'the Comcast comments wete involved in obtaining NIi Ireich's agreement to refrain from consulting on unbundliug issues in a Comcast FCC F oim 1205 until December 31, 2005 (an agreement 14Is . Ireich has honoxed) Comcast cannot legitimately ask far 1VI�. Ireich's exclusion from tkis issue in tkis anatysis and then make assertions conceining positions he may ar may not have taken in the past. But even if ComcasYs statement above were accutate, posifions taken on behalf' of'a fosmer emplo,yei cannot be used to trump what is now Commission precedent. Ihe FCC's orders require the use of'nationally aggregated 1205s to be revenue neuttal. Fundamental to that neuiiality is that addi�onal costs cannot be added into ihe 1205 simply because it is compiled on a national basis as opposed to the local basis that had been used previously. Comcast would have ta exclude costs from a local fi3ing that had not been uubundled; if'it could include them in a national filiug, the effect would not be neulxal, as the aggxegate iates with these costs added would be highei than they would have been in the sepazate local filings combined.. Undei ttze cucumstances, pazticulazly in light of'the significant evidence thaf the filing includes costs that have not been unbundled, the unbuudiing adjustments pinposed aze appropiiate.. B. Estimated Times for Installation Activities As the Final Repozt explained, Comcast gave the Cons�ltants limited and contlicting data with iespect to insta2lation rimes. Comcast asked Iocal systems to provide it with estimates of'times requued foi installation. Comcast aiso provided the Iocai systems with an unsuppoxted estimate . 6 Mt Ireich can neithet vetify nor deny the accu�acy of the statement because of 3us ag�eement to noY pazticipate in unbimdling issues ' See FCC 96-257, paTagraph 21 Page 5 of'26 Felnuazy 2005 �:lshpaugh � Scuico, CPAS, PLC and Ftont Range Consultirtg, Ine All tights reserved Repart anatyses, conciusions and xecommendations cannot be used }vithout expressed vrsitten consentby both Ashpaugh & Sculro, CPAS, PLC and Front Rauge Conmiting, Inc � o5a�3 ° �_ ASHPAUGH & SGULCO, CPAS PLC cvri;,¢3 Pa>FC nacv+iz�u _a, Cc�:ai:xei: j � Front Range Consutting, Inc. from ttie coipoiate office puiportedly refiecting the time repoited on the previo�xs yeaz's F oim 124>, which ielaYed only to the foimer AI T Bzoadband sysfems_ As Comcast notes in its Comments, this estimate was adopted in mare than hatfthe cases. Comcast also ielied upon the point system that is used ta schedule installations to develop install times This data points in very differeat d'uections. As Comcast notes in its Comments at 10, "installation times tend to be relatively stable on a yeai to year basis." Yet as the Finai Report indica#es, theie was in fact significant vatiation between (a) installation times gathered from systems and used in the national filing and (b) installation iunes that had been used previously for the same sysiems.. Comcast c3id not explain the variation. Ihe point system is used to schedule trips and appointments, and theiefore should provide dispatch�s with a relativety accucate estimaYe ofthe time required to peifarm typical tasks Yet there was a significanf differ'ence between ins�tallarion times dezived from the point system and the resuits of the field surve,ys. Similarly, there is no explanation for the diffeience in instaIl tixnes foi employees and conttactors, yet contractor install times were lowex than employee install times. Adding to the complication weie at least two other factors. Fust, the install estimates �sed by Comcast appeazed to miac activities propetly included in the F arm 1205, and activities that should be excluded from the Fozm 12Q5. Second, in the nationaI Form 1205, Comcast did not pfovide the bxeakdown of'instaliation acrivities by task, and thus pxovides a means for checking the reasonableaess of'estimates and ensucing only appiopiiate costs aze included in the Farm 1205_ Given the signifrcant problems with the data, Comcast's failure to ea�plain the vaziations from estimate to estimate, and ihe failuie to sepaiate out tasks ptoperly included in the Foim 1205 from those that aze not propeily included in the Foim 1205, ComcasYs install estunates could not be used. Ihe Consultants in the Fina1 Report Therefoie made two genexal changes to Comcast's estimated times for the installation activities by empIoyees: (1} a reducrion in the un-wired and $ Comcast set narionai mstallation iates based on mstalf times est'unated foi a sample of systems Ihe Consultarns looked at past installation time estimates for some of the sample systems, and sought to deteimine whethe� the difference benveen the past esl'vnates and those used in the cutrent filing could be explained Comcast could not esplain the differences. 9 For �ample, page 23 of'the Final Report points out that Comcast significanfly lowered ihe amount of'time to do an install in the F'lint NII sysfem Comcast was asked to support this adjustment but it did not do so. (See Finai Repott at 22.) Absent some explanaYion, the vaziation suggests that eithei the estimate used in this filing by Comcast ot the pasi estimate was incotrecT 10 Ihe Consuitants asked foi documentation that would explain the esrimates used by Comcast and ceceived onty vague and paztial responses (See Finat Report secfion H at 21 ) It is srilI uncleaz, foi• esample, what Ied personnei to depazt from tuues reflected ia The the piioi estimates, coipotate guidance or ihe point system and substitute an aiternative times Page 6 of'26 Febivazy 2005 � Ash r�ah & Sculcq CPAs, PLC and Front R�ge Consulting, Inc Al1 rights merved Report anat}5es, couclusions and recommendetions cazmot 6c used wittwu; expcessed written eoev5ent by both Ashpaugh & Sculeo., CPPs, PLC and Fmnt Range Consulting, Tnc DS-a�� ASHPAUGH & SCULCO,CPAs PLC Certi �e3 Pasi�: A:_cun:aa-z zntl L__sWar.[z � r>�� F'ront Ran COIISIIIL]IIg Inc. pre-wired installation tiazes to reflect times reIated to drop activities (see Final Report at 27}; and (2) a ieducfion in tfie instaIlation times for some sample systems wkere Comcast provided suf&ciently detailed point system data to dezive an installation estixnate. ComcasYs comments are almost entirely devoted to these two adjustments, rather than a defense of'its own estitnates. Comcast challenges the use of ceitain point system data rather than the infoxmation Comcast obtained ia its limited field stuveys. Consulfants chose that data as the most likely to be reliable foi at least four reasons. Fisst, because the point system is used foi scheduling, and failure to schedule properly can xesult in violatzons of customer secvice standatds, that system appeazed likely to piovide a reasoaable benchmazk for times associated with cectain tasks.. Second, because the point system is not simply used for iate regulation puiposes, it appeazed less likely to be manipulated pwely foi xate regulation pucposes Ihud, the point system appeazed to be moie consistent with contractoi fime estimates �ourth, Comcast's sample system pexsonnel used the data in pazt for fheu own estimates.. None of' Comcast's ciiricisms justify iejecting Consultants' approach and adopting ComcasYs estimates instead. Comcast azgues that the point system used by the Consultants to make the xninaz adj�u�ents to the installafion times "typically exclude dtive time" (See Commeats at 11) Ihe:e is no evidence that is the case To the contraty, in the data for the New Haven, CI system, Comcast provided the point system fot an "A(O at time of'install" and an "AJO sepazate trip.." As the only diffexence between the activities listed couid be "diive time," Comcast cannot explain that tfie points foi the "A/O at time of' install" ate 8 and the points fox' the "A/Q sepazate t�ip" are 10. As each point is 5 minutes, this would equai an estimated dzive tisne of 10 minutes. Intex estingly, in the New Aaven case, the point system yields times 3ughei than those estiinated by the system personnel; these highea times weie included in the adjustment recommanded by the Consciltants on page 24 of the Final Repart.. Comcast also azgues that iYs point system foi some systems (the Flint, Mickigan system, foF example) appeazs completely wuelated to tbe time requued To complete gazticulu tasks. Consultants agree. Ihe Finat Report only made ad}ustments hased on the point system whes e the point system w-as sufficienfly detailed to aIlow fox an adjustment to be made.. Comcast's othex criticism of the installaiiott time analysis is a red hening. Its Comments on page 10 begins by suggesring that the Final Repoxt concludes that the instail estimates aze wueliable because Comcast provided prejudicial guidance to the field. Ihat is not the case,. Ihe " Ihe point system was not used where it was apparenf that it was not an accuiate indicatoi of'rimes spent on a task {see discussion below). Where the paint system eould not be used, Consultants were forced to use the Comcast inshllation estimate, adjusted to remove tasks that should not be included in the equipment basket ihus, the Final Report did not reject the unsuppoxted installation rimes but iathei began wiTh the installation times Comcast used 'nt the Form 1205 and made adjuslments based on the "best available infotmation" to reflect a moze reasonable time estimate_ (See Final Repoit at 27 ) Page 7 of'26 Febivazy 2065 � Ashpaugh & Scu]cq CPAs, PLC and Front Range Consulting inc AIt riahts reserved Aeport azialyses, conclusions and recommendazions cartnoi be ased wirhout expressed wtitten consent by both Ashpaugh & Sculco, CPAS, PLC and Front Range Consulting, Inc �-a�3 ' �_ ASHPAUGH & SCULC0.

Ihe adjustment for drop times is discussed in Pazt IV. E, below. C. Adjusting Reported Hours As pazt of'the calculation of'the Hoiuly Seivice Charge, it is typically necessasy to xeduce total employee houts by unproductive hours.. In its Addendum, Consultauts pointed out that Comcast has reduced reported employee hours by 373 houxs based on TCI's 1996 data regazding employee policies and pracrices.. Consultants pointed out that ComcasYs cuxient policies and practices aze not the same as I CI's policies. In xesponse, Comcast does not defend its use of'the TCI data. Instead it inRoduces new infoimation in its Comments that it did not use in its Filing and did not provide to the Consultants. (See Comments at 12..) By the inhoducfion of'this new infoimation, Comcast is conceding that the infoLmation used in the Filing cannot be relied upon fo establish unpxoductive houts. Comcast azgues that given the total patential paid time-off'undei Comcast poHcies {224-304 hoius) plus 104 of administrafive hours peY year plus 49 hou�s of't�aiuing, mo adjusiment is Tequixed ta the 373 houcs estimate. Ihis azgument assumes Yl�at eveiy employee takes fnli advantage of'eveiy houx ofeve�y holiday, floating holiday, flex time and vacation during tlfe yeaz.. Ihe Consultants' anal,yses of'othex Comcast fclings over the last several yeazs have consistenfly found that this assuinption is not justified (See Addenduai at 2.} Comcast has high hunovei in installation and technical positioas. Zhe weighted aveiages of actual time associated with each categoty (holiday, floating holiday, flex time and vacation) fall fac shoit of tfie total avaiIabla.. If Comcast is seeking to justify the 373 houis by azguing tl�at the 104 administrative houis is actually too low, that effort too, should be iejected. Comcast was specifrcalIy asked to piovide detailed suppoxt foi this amount, see e.g, question 26 of'the Wildwood N.J sample system data reqaest, and ft failed to do so Tt cannot now propose some '� Ihe Hoiu�ly Setvice Chaz�ge that Comcast can chazge fot installarion and ceitain other activiries basically is cakulated by idenrifying costs associated witfi installation -xype activities, and dividing those costs by the total numbe[ of hours devoted to those activities If the number of ho'uts repotted� is z�educed, the Hoisly Secvice Chaz�ge increases.

This allocation is designed to ensu�e that a fau s�e of' these general costs aze reflected in equipment xates — but no more than a faii skaze. As the F inal Report explains, in each instance the company uses an allocation factor that slufts to regulated equipment expenses that should be attributed to unregulated secvices oi equipment. ComcasYs Comments provide no new infoimafion oi facts to suppoxt any changes to the Consultants' Repoit with iespect to the allocation in Step A of tfie Foim 1205., (See Comments at I3.) Comcast's page 255 of the sample data shows the "Schedule B Suppo:t" and the "Calculation of'the Schedule B%" Ihis percentage is casxied foiward to "Page 3" ofthe sample data wfiexe it is used to allocate ali of'the following costs to regulated 1205 activity: Saiazies — Regulu, Salazies — OveTtime, Salazies Bonuses, Commissions, Employee Benefits, Opeiating Supplies, M&R Piant/�uilding, M&R — Equipment, Utilities, RentalslLease Expense, Vehicles — Gas & Oil, Velvcles —Maintenance, Paytoll TaYes, Prop�ty IaYes and Instuauce. Ihis allocarion percentage is calculated an page 255 as follows: Iotal saiazies and oveitime related to regulated activity divided by Iotat salaiies and nveitime.. Aowevez, the "Iotals" are only fox the Iechnical Depaztment. Foi tha Wildwood system, the calculation iesuks in a pezcentage of 16 35% based on the total number of' Technical Depatiment employees of 3 7.50, consisting of' 1714Installeis, 9..61 I echnicians, 1..00 Dispatchers 1.75 Wazehouse Staff; and Other 8 00, and the associated salazies and overTime of each. No oth� depattments az� included in the calculation. The calculation does not include Adiiuiustrative and General oa Mazketing persannel.. Yet it is used by Comcast to allocate renf/lease expenses, prope�ty taxes and insutance to the Filing. Ihe Consultants limited revtew of'a sample of invoices cleazly and positively shows costs inciuded in ientllease expense and propeTty taxes that are associated with administsative offices, customei seivice locations, and bill payment facilifies (See Finai Repoxt at 17 and 2 8) 7he Consultants contend that the costs for mazketing and adminishative peisonne2 are not inctuded in fhe "Other" categozy and theiefore allow the categoties of'rent, propeity t�es, instuauce, etc. to be ovei allocated to the regulated activities.. Comcast's allocafion of'these costs in the Filing to the equipment basket ia this manner is inconect. On page 25� of Comcast's Chicago sample system, Comcast identifies 3.31.75 employees in the "(?thei" categoiy suaauiing to a total of' S$675 "Total Technical" employees.

ComcasY s Comments on page 14 that ifs "lb 27%' is "such a low allocarion facYot" is unsuppoited.

The Consultants did not use the results of'the Dei�oit MF analysis but conservatively reduced the peicentage allocation by 2/3 to accouat foi the administrative, mazketing and customei peisonnel based on the Consultants' best availab te infoimation,� Ihe Consultants request that the partioipating LFAs reject ComcasYs position and adopt the adjustments in the Report. E. Contr•actor Time Comcast raises two substantive and one pxoceduiai objection to adjustments related to coni�actoi time. Fixst, in the Fuzal Report, VIII.K, the Consultants concIuded tlzat Comcast had impropeFl,y used only installation time estimates for in-house personnel in calculating the time required foi an instatlation As discussed at pages 25-27 of the Final Report, installations pexfoimed by conkactors rept'esent the majority of'installs, and if'contractoi install time is different &om the time reported b,y employees, it needs to be taken into account to come up with an appxopiiate average installation time, The best available data indicates that thete are substantial differences in employee-repo2ted instaIlation times and conYcactor-repoxted installation times, and so the Final Report developed an avezage installation time based on the info2mation available. Comcast objects that contractor time "typically" does not include dzive time. (See Comments at 16.) Fnst, that statement is unsuppoited. Second, by use of'the word "typically" Comcast admits that �ive time is not always excluded — and it is not clear it is excluded from any of'the sample systems Ihud, the in-hovse esrimates for installations are geneially ionger fhan the estimates for cont�actors Diive time (which should not vacy foi tasks} cannot explain that difference. Finally Comcast oa sheet 270 in the sample s,ystem data used the same install times as the Consultants to calculate contxacf labor hoius. If' Comcast is coxrect in its Comments that dtive time is not incIuded (and should be), it is also admiiting that it is knowiugly and intenfionally undexsta#ing contxact labor floius, which would inflate the Hauily Seivice Chazge ("HSC") in the �iling. If only fos consisteacy, then, use ofthe contractor hours is justified In sum: even if'one assumed that ComcasPs pourt had some meiit, it does not,justify the Comcast 14 Comcast has the burden of providing ihe suppotiing calcularions. ComcasYs claim of being "too lo�' should not be considered, as Comcast is responsible fo2 prepazing this Filing using supportabte &g�urs and amouats ts rhis seduction had no ptactical affect in Yhe revised rates as ths Consultants had atready eIiminaked this category becavse of the unbundling conceins Page 10 of 26 Febtuazy 2005 � Ashpaugh & Sculco, CPAS.

Ihe approach used by Consultants is the best appiaach �ven flie data available, and makes sense as a mattei of inteinai consistency in the filing- Second, Consultants reduced contcactar time by the time estimated to install a drop to the demazcation paiut at a home. Comcast admits it included diop insfall fime, and,justifies that decision hy selectively quoting an FCC ordei at page 16 of' its commenu. Comcast quotes the first line of'pasagtaph 3b of Comcast Cablevision of Tatlahassee, Inc ,10 F CC Rcd 7b86 {1995), but fails to piovide the language of pazagaphs 34 - 36 Yhat are exacfly on point in this issue. ".34. With respect to the treatment of' laboi costs associated with installation of' customer drops, we fiuther e�lained in the HSC calculation inskuctions in Foim 1205 (one of'the successor foims to Fosm 393) that opetators haue anoth� option in addition to recoveiing such costs ttuough the anstallation charge. Ihe othei option is for the operatoi to capitalize [the labot costs] in dishihurion plant as pazt of'the cost of'the drops. 35. Commission ivles thus allow one of'rivo options for the z�coveiy of'laboi ie2ated to the installation of'subsciiber �ops at the time of's�vice instatlation These options aze: (1) to secovex the labo� costs associated with the installafion of subscTiber drops tPuough tlie installation chazges; or (2) to capitatize such costs in dis4ibution pIant as patt of'the cost of' drops. (Footnote 96 — See inshuctions to Foxm 1205..) Undei the f�st optioa, 2elated labor costs and labox hours should be included in the calculation of'the HSC (in Pazt III, Step A, Lines 1 and 4). Ihis is requued by the HSC €otmula in ordei to ens�ue tliat the HSC is pinpeily based on all the activiiies to which it applies.. (Footnote 97 — See 47 C.F .R. § 76.933(d).} Under tfie second opflon, the laboz cost for drops is recovered in the chazges faz cable seivices only — not in installation ar customei equipment chazges (Footnote 98 — Foim I205, at 14 (Worksheet foi Calculating Pexmitted Equipment and Installation Chazges, Step A: Hourly Seivice Charge, Note Z)..) 36. Comcast makes it abundantly cleaz that it elected the fust option — to recov� the cost of'labor associated with tiie installation of'subsciiber drops ttuough the instalIation chazge. {Footnote 99 — Appeal at 24 ("Consistent with the Cammissian's policy, Comcast instead chose to include labar costs as pazt of'its installation chasge when initial instalIations requize cable drop instaltation") ) Ihus Comcast calculates its installafion chaxge by including snbsciiber drop installation labot houts in deteimining the ove�all installation time, and then multiplying the overall time by the HSC. {FootnoYe 100 —�ee Appeal, E�ibit Q {Comcast Version Foim 393}, at Attachment 4..)

ComcasYs xesponse — Yes_ ComcasYs representadons on page 16 of'its comments that the "Report's exclusian o£'any oontract labor costs � hoius associated with drop installation contradicts this FCC mandate° is inconect.. By its awn admission in the above responses ta the 'Consultants requests aud to the questions on the Foim 1205, Comcast indicates that it has chosen to capitalize the labar costs of its dtop and thetefore based on the Comcasf of TaZlahassee ordex must exclude the laboi costs (and hoius) associated with the drops frnm the Fozm 1205. Ihe exclusion is precisely what the Final Report did with the contract labor costs and the time estimates. {See Final Repo�t at 27.) Ihe Consultants iequest that the gaxticipating LFAs ieject Comcast's position and adopt the adjushnents in the Report. Finally, at page 15 of' its Comments, it "objects to the adjustments, because they aze not adequately e�lained " Ihe Consultants do not undeistand ComcasYs contention. 7he infarxnation attached to the Fina1 Report is the same saxt of infoxmation fuinished by Comcast cvith the F i�ing - a ievised Foim 1205 (F inal Repart Appendix C) and a statistical sample summazy (Fina1 Repoxf Append'ut D).. ComcasYs Comments at 15 state that it "has been unable to xepIicate the Consuttant's results." We do not undeistand the difficulry, and Comcast never requested any suppoct ot explanation from the Consultants. We have attempted to provide infoimation to Comcast even where noi technically required to do so. For example, by elecironic mail on Januazy 26, 2005 Comcast requested "Is it possible foi you to forwazd to us electronic versians of both Appendix C and Appendix D so that we can get a better undezstanding of how you azzived at your final numbers?" Copies of the Excel sgreadsheets foi Appendices C and D were provided b,y electronic mail on Januazy 28, 2005, and were provided in the same foim as Comcast's response to a sunilaz request by the Consultants I his was Comcast's only request conceining the Final Repoit. Undes the ciscumstances, Comcast's cxiticism does not justify sejecrion of aay adjuslment. F. Warehouse Personnel Consultants eliminated wazehouse peisonnel from Schedule B of the 1205 because (a) the costs had not been unbundled pieviousiy; and (b) the same cost appeazed to be capitalized in Schedule C. Although Comcast does not provide support for the asseition, Comcast Comments claim that the costs on Schedule B aze not the same as #he wsts capitalized on Schedule C Even if'one assumed that were the case, it would not solve the unbundling pxoblem. Moreovez, it does not mean that ComcasYs estimates are otheiwise reasonable.. Comcast included costs and houxs foi wazehouse peisonnel in some of flxe sample system data that implies that wazehouse personnel Page 13 of 26 Febxvazy 2005 � Ashpaugh & Sculco, CPAs, PLC and Front Range Coosulhng, Inc All righis reserved Report analyses, conclusions and recommendations cannot be used withaui e�pressed rvritten consent by both Ashpaugh & Scuico, CPAs, PL.0 aad Front Ranee Consuiting, rnc a5 a.� 3 ASHPAUGH & SGllLCO, CPAs, PLC Ce�:i:ied P:hli: Acce¢rtaaex ani Censslxanis r Front Range Consulting, Inc. spend in excess of 70% of"ttieir time on conveiter issues alone. Considering that these wazehouse personnel also supporE non-regulated equipment and installation activities such as cable modems and telephone sexvice, that percentage does not appeat ieasonable, and Comcasf did not provide data that would support that percentage. Consultants theiefore conclude that Comcast has not shown its estimates aze reasonable with iegatd to this cost categoxy noz has zt proven fhat these costs were unbundled oiiginally (,See Final Report at 19.). The Consultants request that the participating LFAs reject ComcasYs position and adopt the adjustments in the Final Repoxt. G. O�iee Personnel Comcast does not provide any facts that change the conclusions in the ConsultanEs' Final Report zegarding ofFce pezsonnel (See Final Report at 19.)

Ihe Consultants agiae that the missing point sheets were provided by letter dated Octobei 7, 2004.

Ihe Consultauts asked for Comcast to provide details in the data request detailed above that would have encompassed "past experience and kustocical c4ata," Comcast grovided no such suppoiting data. �he Consuttants therefore were not able to evaivate the da#a used by Comcast to any suppaxting information Comcast has not shown in these comments that it has met ifs burden o# proof' on inclusion of'these office personnel. Ihe lack of'suppoit alone would justify exclusion of this cost, but exclusion is also justified by the unbundling issue discussed above. In light af these two flaws, Consultants iequest that the pazficipating LFAs reject ComcasYs position and adopt the adjustments in the Repoit. H. Inside Wiring Comcast's Comments on page 17 and 18 fail to addxess the piincipal concem with tha inclusion of alI af'the tcouble calls fos inside wuing. The Consultants wese conceined piimasaly that some of'these calls would relate to wuing that is not telated to cable seivice, such as home nefwoildng and telephone wiiing tUat aze cavered under the wire maintenance plans, thus inciudixig tfie time estimates and costs for these non-cable and non-inside wiring maiutenance plan customers in the Filing.. (See Final Report pages 27 — 29). The Consultants asked fox copies of the inside wuing plans and the numbei of' customers on the plan Comcast only provided the number of'cuixent customers on the plan but in almost all of the responses, Comcast never pi ovided the plan. Fuzthei, Comcast pxovided no estimate of'the time associated with these inside wire trouble caIls that would pexmit one to distinguish between cable service-related catls and call related to 17 It should noted that the wire maintenance plan is a sepazate chazge on the subsctiber's bill and none of the revenues genexated from these chatnes az'e offset against the inside wutng expenses Page IS of'26 Fetnuazy Z005 � Ashpauzh & Sculco, CPAs, pIC and Froat Range Consuleng Ine Al( xightr reserved RepoR analyxs, conclusions aud recommendations cannoE be used without ea�presse3 wrinen consent by botl� fsshpaueh & Scu�co, CPAs, PLC and Front Range ConsuiMg, Inc b5-a � 3 � �_ ASHPAUGH 8 SCULCO, GPAs.

I. Customer Tronble Calls ComcasPs Comments on page 18 do not address the problem identified hy tt4e Consultants.. Ihe Consultants on pages 31 and 32 of'the Final Repoxt identified two issues with the inclusion of' customer trouble calls: (1) no supporting data and (2} no support that these amounts were unbundled in the o�iginal Foim 1205 unbundling. Setting aside the unbundling issue, ComcasYs comments at 18 do not address the failuie b,y Comcast to meet its buzden of pioof'with regatds to the support foi the customei trouble calls. If' Comcast had pxovided the suppoxt and had ieliable estiznates of the numbex� and time to complete these calIs, the adjushnent might not have been necessazy. While Comcast may befieve that the Consultants' estimate is urueasonable, it is in fact generaus considexing that Comcast has not actually supported inclusion of' any time, much less the 40 minutes it propased.. 19 Comcasi's Comments appeaz to suppoxt the notion that this is not an azea where Comcast has eithe� significant costs — Comcast seems to indicate that it will even �raive these chazges to promote customer safisfaction (See Comments at 18.) Ifle Consultants request that the pazticipating LFAs reject Comcast's position and adopt the adjtishnents in the Report �$ Based on ComcasYs Commants, the Consultants re-tan theu ana]ysis for ffie Ixenton sample system to revetse the 50% exclusion o£the number of inside wire h oubte calls.

ComcasYs cominents at 18 do not address the fact that these VCR coanections aze al�eady included in the un-wued and pxe-wued installation iates chazged by the contractors. Comcast clauns to have "limited" records on these VCR connections. (See Comments at 18.} I'et VCR connections haue been a regulated activity since the 1990's and the Consultants continue to quesfion why Comcast has not caphued the number of VCR connecfions done each yeaz on its "field data reposts." Ihe mere fact that Comcast is silent on tfie potential for double iecoveiy — once in the conhactor installation costs and again via a sepacate chazge -- undeiscores the need to elimivate these chazges until it can be ensured tkat no double recoveiy occucs. Ihe Consultants do agree that VCR connections can be charged — if'it can be shown that (a) it talces addirionai time to hook up a VCR —time that is not xeflected in the initial installation; and (b} if it cau be shown that the estimated time fox those V CR installs reflect only the tune to connect only to a television, as opposed the tima to connect the cable to the average subscxibes's equipment Neither showing has been made.

Ihe Consultants continue to support the recommendations in Final Repott.. �. COMCAST'S COOPERATION �ND RESPONSIVENESS A. Generally In tiie Final Report, Consultants e�plained that theu review had been Ftampeied by ComcasYs failure to respond pxompdy and completely to data iequesYs iegarding the Foim 1205. In response, Comcast variously azgues fhat it did ieasonably cooperate with the Consultants and that fhe Coasultants iequests fox infaimation were urueasonable, ox unduly burdensome. In fact, given the scope of'this filing, and the methodology used by Comcast, the Consultants were consistent with the scape of theit requests submitted as patt of the Foim 1205 review piocess. Comcast seems to suggest, for example, that the number of'questions asked -- "more than a thousand RFI questions -- was eartraardinazy Comcast's filing was based oa data collected $om 20 sample systems. The same data request was submitted for each of'the 2Q sample systams Over 9S0 of the requests wexe thus duplicate ques4ions regazding each of the sample systems (See Comments at 1.). Faz from being a biuden, b,y having sepazate, albeit dupiicate requests fox each system, the Consultants and Comcast could more easily keep the data segegated foi each of the twenty sample systems.. ComcasYs refetence to providing "more than ttuee feet af'mateiial to the Consultants" is misleading (See Comments at 1.} Comcast collected infoxmation fr�om its sample sysTems in ordez to develop its own Foim 1205.

Comcast responded by filing a petition to quash the requests at the FCC. While Comcast claims in footnote T of'its Comments that its "FCC filing was well-intentioned" and that it "believed that it would be helpful to both parties if the F CC would quickly clazify this matter," the fact remains that the FCC did not authoiize the company to withhold data.. Ihe company, howevei, has continued to re£use to provide the infoimatioa that was iequesYed, so the Consultants were iequued to iesolve unbundling and oth� issues based on the best infotmation available to them � Ihe requests submitted by the Cansultants' in ieviewing the Filing wete not unusual or unreasonable. In fact, Comcast's piedecessor, AI&I Broadband, typically provided seveTal boxes of'suppoiting data with a consultanYs fust data z equest — fhat being the detaiied suppozt used fos the sample systems. Comcast has responded to these same zequests in piior yeazs whea the Fotm 1205 filings were at a local or system level. (See Supplemental Report Attachxnent 2— Pages I1 and 14 of ComcasYs Mazch 10, 2004 response to #32 and Page 9 of Comcast's Aptil 16, 2004 xesponse to #16 in the Ciry of' De4znit Cable Communicafions Commission review of the 20fl4 filed FCC Foxm 1205.) B. Invoices In this case, Comcast has been pazticulaziy reluctant to produce invoices tA support its cost claims..

Comcast did iespond (in some fashion) to `$undreds of quesrions," but the company did not provide ail of the infotmation requested and 'm numerous instances only provided nattarive iesponses when specific documentarion was requested (and v[ce veisa} ar provided a partial answer at best (See Finai Report at 13, 16, and 22 ) '� Ihe ConsultanES made it cleaz in an August 4 request [hat if Comcasi did not piovide the requested infotmatiou, the ConsuItanTS review would rely on the "best available infoimation " In iYS August 18 response, Comcast again refused to provide the requesfed infoimation.

(See Comments at 2 and 3) What Comcast provided, by and Iarge, was "general ledge2" data. Ihe Consultants were conceined that "general ledgei" infoxmation may not identify costs that would be inappropiiate for the Foim 1205 filing. In order to address this concem, the Consultants asked fox Comcast to produce actual invaices suppoxting the costs claimed by Comcast in the Foim 1205 filing. In previoas fiIings made by Comcast, for example, such an invoice review identified that Comcast had inciuded cable modem casts incozrecdy in certain geneLal ledgei accounts and included in those accounts in prior Foim 1205s an@ had allocated piopexty taYes to conveiteis when said ptoperty taYes were not applicable to converters (See attached affidavit o#'Gazth I: Ashpaugh.} Comcast claimed in response to specific requests of the Consultants� concerning the Filing that cable modem costs were not included in the Form 1205, although examination of invoices showed that cable modem costs wexe included 2 Such expesience shows that a reviewer cannot simply take Comcast's general statements fox gcanted without examinnig theu suppoit Ihe Cansultants also were conceiaed that exazuivation of' general ledgex data would not, for example, pzovide the necessazy split of'contractor laboi beiween regulated (witlun 12 inches of' the home) and unsegulated activity, such as instaliation of'telephone sesvice and or cable modem sexvice.. Noi would it iflentify "combo" instatlations — an instatlation involving a combinarion of activities, some tkat aze regulated and some that aze not regulated.. Examination of'genetal ledger and "existing financial records," whatevei those may be, will not provide the necessaty assutance foi costs claimed in the 1205 that xeview of invoices will.. Examination and iecalculafion of invaices is not new to this Tegulatoiy ptocess It has been a key component of the LFA review since 1993. Fuzthesmore, Camcast did not use any infoxmation from its "eacisfing financial iecoids" to suppoxt its conttact labot costs. (See Comcast lettei dated .June 21, 2004, response 9.) The preparers of'the Filing "cieated" these costs by using un-audited "field data reports" and "cost sheets" which may ox may not have any coirelation to actual costs paid by Comcast to these contcactots Comcast states: Requests to iehieve contcactox invoices aze exceptionally raze, In ane instance when it did oecui, Mr Ireich, who then led the regulatoty accauating gioup xesponsible fox tate filings at AI&I Bxoadband, instructed his staff not to piovide invoices ta regulataiy consultants, because he regazded those requests as ovezly buxdensome..

Indeed, Consultants have been reviewing contcacYoi invoices associated with Foim 1205 filings of Comcast since 1996. In the Consultants' review of'CamcasYs 2004 Detroit 1205 filing, the ConsulYants requested and were provided conhactoi invoices and convestei iepair invoices for the entna yea� of' 2003 — the same yeaz the Filing covered. Comcast has also provided copies of' contractox invoices for ifs Montgomeiy County, NID and Ailington County, VA 1205 filings to the Consultants since 200d — the year Comcast took ovei the system Io be sure, Comcast did make some invoices available, aud where invoices wete made available, Consultants were able to identify costs ttiat were not propexly includable in the Foim 1205, such as cable modem costs.. However, tl�e Consultants were not piovided and wsre unabie to i�view any invoices for: Bonuses, Commissions, Pxopeiry Iases, Insurance and Con�act Labor. These five categoxies encompass ovei 20 percent of the Schedule B costs shown on Comcast's Foim 1205 filing (See Fotm 12Q5 filing, FCC Foim 1205 Capital AssedCreneral I,edger Audit xepoxt 2003, page 3) Comoast, in xesponse to the sample system data requests fos invoices, iesponded: Comcast will provide the tequested dacuments aftei we have ietrieved the documents from out data stoxage systems and copied them for isansmittal.

Committee: Date 2�- 2 WHEREAS, Joseph and Judy Rossi made application to the Boazd of Zoning Appeals 3 (hereinafter the `BZA") for a variance from the strict application of the zoning code for theu 4 property commonly known as 1899 Sargent Avenue and legally described as: BERRYHII,L 5 PLACE E 30 FT OF LOT 23 AND W 20 FT OF LOT 24 BLK 1; and 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 WHEREAS, the purpose of the Rossi's application was to vary the zoning code standards for the purpose of building an addifion to the existing shucture: 6-foot sideyard set back required, 3-foot set back proposed for a requested vatiance of 3 feet; and WHEREAS, on September 13, 2004, the BZA conducted a public hearing after hauing provided notice to affected property owners and in its Resolution No. 04-112170, adopted September 13, 2004, the BZA granted the Rossi's variance request based upon the following findings and conclusions: 1. The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use under the strict provisions of the Code. The applicants have lived in this house for about 20 years and would like to confinue living here into their senior years. The house has no bedrooms or bathroom on the first floor. This makes it difficult when the elderly or disabled visit and eventually will make it impossible for the applicants to continue living here. The proposed addition will provide a bedroom and a bathroom on the fust floor as well as expand the livingroom. This is a reasonable request that would make the house more livable and accessible. However, the location of the house on the site and the room arrangement within the house prevent accomplishing this goal under the strict provisions of the Code. 2. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to this property, and these circumstances were not created by the landowner. The room arrangement makes it unpractical to build the addition on the back of the house and the location of the house on the lot makes it impossible to construct a funcrional addition without a variance. These are cucumstances that were not created by the applicants. 1 3. The proposed variance is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Code, and is �—°�� 2 consistent with the health, safety, comfort, morals, and welfare of the inhabitants of the City of 3 St. Paul. 4 5 This house was built in 1923 and was not designed to be compatible with persons of limited 6 mobility. The proposed modifications will update the house. Renovation and improvement of 7 existing housing stock are consistent with the goals of the Comprehensive Capital Plan and in 8 keeping with the spirit and intent of the Code. The requested variance will not afFect the health � 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 3S 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 or safety of azea residents. 4. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of Zight and air to adjacent property, nor will it alter the essential character of the surrounding area or unreasonably diminish established property values within the surrounding area. The proposed single-story addirion with a 3-foot sideyard set back will not significantly effect the supply of light or air to adjacent properties. Although the current code requires a 6-foot sideyazd set back in this district, when the homes in this area were built a 4-foot setback was required. Many of the homes have non-conforming sideyard set backs and many of the homes have similaz addirions on the side of the house. Provided that the addition is finished to match the finish on the rest of the house, the requested variance will not change the character of the neighborhood or have an adverse impact on surrounding property values. 5. The variance, if granted, would not permit any use that is not permitted under the provisions of the Code for the property in the district where the affected Zand is located, nor wouZd it alter or change the zoning district classification of the property. The proposed variance, if it is granted, would not change or alter the zoning classification of the property. 6. The request for variance is not based primarily on a desire to increase the vaZue or income potential of the parcel of land. WHEREAS, on September 23, 2004, and pursuant to the provisions of Leg. Code § 61.702(a), Kelly and Mary Michael, 1893 Sazgent Avenue, duly filed an appeal from the determination made by the BZA; and WHEREA5, acting to pursuant to Leg. Code § 61.702(b) and upon notice to affected parties, the City Council duly conducted a public heaiiug on December l, 2004, where all interested parties were given an opporhxnity to be heazd; and WHEREAS, the Council having heard the statements made, and hauing considered the variance application, the report of staff, and the BZA's record, minutes, and resolution, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, that the Council of the City of Saint Paul hereby upholds the BZA's decision in this matter based upon the following findings of Council: The variance applicants and the appellants in this matter have advised the Council that they have reached an agreement which would establish the sideyard setback distance at 3.5 feet. Based 1 upon this mutually acceptable agreement the Council finds that the BZA did not err in their 05' a.��p 2 findings or facts granting a side yazd setback variance. However, with the reported agreement 3 between the Rossi's and the Michel's, the Council, exercising the authority granted pursuant to 4 Leg. Code § 61.704 hereby modifies the variance ganted by the BZA to allow a sideyard set 5 back of 3.5 feet subject to the condition that the Rossi's eaves project no more than 12 inches. 6 With this modification, the original findings, conclusions and gant of the BZA in its Resolution 7 No. 04-112170 remains the same. 9 AND BE TT F[JRTI�R RESOLVED, based upon the findings, the agreement between 10 the parties and modificarions noted above, that the appeal of Kelly and Mary Michael is in aii 11 things denied; and 12 13 BE TT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Clerk shall mail a copy of this Resolution to 14 the Rossi's, the MichaePs, the Zoning Adiniuistrator, the Plauning Commission and the Boazd of 15 Zoning Appeals. � Green Sheet Green Sheet Green Sheet Green Sheet Green Sheet Green Sheet � a.c _.�.tt Departmenf/officelcouncil: Date Initiated: V,� - d'{ti �P -��„�t ,¢�� Green Sheet NO: 3025735 ConWct Person 8 Phone• �e�rtment SeM To Person Initiai ate � �, Peter Wamer � 0 os n ron �� 266-87'10 p 1 'ceo ' dEn roo Pro D ariment Direc[o , Must Be on Council qgenda by (Date): Number 2 • A � � 3_ {(-oS Por � RoUting 3 or's Office a odAssistant p�r 4 ocil 5 Clerk Ci lerk � Totai # W Signature Pages _(Clip Ali Locations for Signature) _ Action Requested: Approval of a resolurion memorializing previous council action taken December 1, 2004 which upheld and modified the Board of Zoning Appeals' (BZA) decision to grant 7oseph and Judy Rossi permission to build an addition on their home and denying Kelly and Mary Michael's appeal as the parties reached a compromise.

The plight of the Zand owner is due to circzan2stances unique to this properly, and these circumstances were not created by the land owner. The room arrangement makes it impracrical to build the addition on ±he back of the house and the location of the house on the lot makes it nnpossible to construct a functional addirion without a variance. These are circumstances that were not created by the applicants. 3. The proposed variance is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the code, and is consistent with the health, safety, comfort, morals and welfare of the inhabitants of the Ciiy of St. Pa¢al. • This house was built in 1923 and was not designed to be compatible with persons of limited mobility. The proposed modifications will update the house. Renovation and improvement of existing housing stock are consistent with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan and in keeping with the spirit and intent of the code. The requested variance will not affect the health or safety of area residents. 4. The pt variance will not intpair nn adequate supply of Zight and air to acljacent property, nor will it alier the essential character of the surrounding area or- a�nreasonably diminish established property values within the surrounding area. The proposed single story addition with a thcee-foot side yard setback wiil not significantiy affec# the supply of light or air to adjacent properties. Aithough the current code requires a six-foot side yard setback in this district, when the homes in this area were built a four-foot setback was required. Many of the homas have nonconforming side yard setbacks and many of the homes haue similar addi#ions on the side of the honse. Provided that the addition is finished to match the finish an fhe rest of the house, the requested variance will not change the character of the neighborhood or have an adverse impact on svrrounding property values. • 3 Pa�e 2 oi 3 �-a�� File �04-112170 ! Staff Report S. The variance, ifo anted, would not permit any use that is not permitted undef- the provisians of'the cocle for the property in the district where the affected Zand is Zocated, nor would it aZter or change the zoning distnct classification of the praperty. The proposed variance, if it is granted, would not change or aiter the zoning classification of tha property. 6. The request for variance is not based primarily on a desire to increase the vala�e or income potential of the parcel of land. E.

Rossi has applied for a variance from the strict applicarion of the provisions of Secrion 66.231 of the Saint Paul Legisiative Code pertainzng to the zequired east side yard setback of a house addition in the R-3 zoning district at 1899 Sargent Avenue; and �h�I the Saint Paul Boazd of Zon3ng Appeals conducted a public hearing on September 13, 2004 pursuant to said application in accordance with the requirements of Secrion 64.203 of the Legislative Code; and WHEREAS, the Saint Paul Board of Zoning Appeals based upon evidence presented at the public hearing, as substantially reflected in the minutes, made the following findings of fact: 1. The property in question cannot be pzst to a reasonable use uncter the stricf provisions of the code. � The applicants have lived in this house for about twenty years and would like to continue living here into their senior years. The house has no bedrooms or bathroom on the first floor. This makes it difficult when the elderly or disabled visiY and eventually will make it impossible for the applicants to continue living here. The proposed addition will provide a bedroom and bathroom on the first floor as well as expand the livina oom. This is a reasonable request that would make the house more livable and accessible. However, the location af the house on the site and the room arrangement within the house prevent accomplishing this goal under the strict provisions of the code. 2. The plight of the land owner is due to circumstances unique to this property, ttnd these circu�nstances were �zot created by the Zand owner. The room arrangement makes it impractical to buiid the addition on the back of The house and the location of the house on the lot makes it impossible to construct a fiznctional addition without a variance. These are cireumstances that were not created by the applicants. 3. The propased variance is in keepzng with Zhe spirit and intent of the code, and is consistent with the health, safety, comfort, morals and welfare of the inhabitants of the City of 3t. Pau1. • PaLe 1 oi 3 �` ��-a�� tre �oa-i la��a Resolutian � This house was built in 1923 and was not designed to be compatible with persons of limitad mobility. The proposed modifications will update the house. Renovation and improvement of e�sting housing stock are consistent with the gaals of the Comprehensive Plan and in keeping with the spirit and intettt of the code. The requested variance will not affect the health or safety of area residents. 4. The proposed vanance will not impair an acleqzsate sz�pply of tight and air to adJacent property, nor will it alier the essential characler of the szzrraunding czrea oi- unreasonably diminish establishecl property vatues within the surrounding area. The proposed single story addition with a three-foot side yard setback wi11 not signi$canfly affect the supply of light or air to adjacent properties. Although the current code requtres a six-foot side yard setback in this district, when the homes in this area were built a£our-foot setback was required. Many of the homes have nonconforming side yard setbacks and many of the homes have similar additions on the side of the house. Provided that the addition is finished to match the finish on the rest of the house, the requested variance will not change the character of the neighborhood or have an . zdverse impaci an surrounding property values. 5. The variance, ifgranted, would not permit any zese that is not permitted under the provisions of the code for the property in the district where the affected land is located, nor would it alter or change ths zoning district classifzcation of the property. The proposed variance, if iT is granTed, would not change or alTer the zoning classification of the property. 5. The reyuesl for variance is not based prim¢rily on a desire to increase the value or- income potentia7 of the parcel of land. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Saint Paul Boazd of Zoning Appeals that the provisions of Section 66.23 i aze hereby waived to allow a setback of 3 feet for a house addition, in order fo build on properly located at 1899 Sargent Avenue; The variance is suhject to the condition that th2 additdon is, finished to match tlze ftnish on the rest of the house. The property is legally described as Berryhill Place E 3o Ft Of Lot 23 Aud W 2o Ft Of Lot 24 Blk 1; in accordance with the application for variance and the site plan on file with the Zoning Administrator.

On May 21, 2004, did Reaney's sell alcohol to an obviously intoxicated person in violation of Minn. Stat. § 340A.502? 2. On August 4, 2004, did Reaney's permit an underage person to drink a(coholic beverages in violation of Minn. Stat. § 340A.503, subd. 1(a)(1�? Did Reaney's sell alcoholic beverages fo an underage person in violation of Minn. Staf. § 340A.503, subd. 2(1)? � o5-a� 7 3. On December 5, 2004, did Reaney's violate Ch. 409.08 (15) of the City's Legisfative Code when a customer walked ouf of the bar carrying a can of beer, took a sip of the beer, and then went back inside the bar? Based upon all of fhe proceedings herein, the Administrative Law Judge makes the following FINDINGS OF FACT 1. Reaney's Bar is located at 870 Payne Avenue, at the corner of Payne and Wells Street, on the east side of St. Paul. 2. The corporation M. Reaney, Inc. holds a number of licenses from the city, including an on-sale liquor license, an on-sale Sunday liquor license, an off- sale mait liquor license and a Class C restaurant license. 3. On May 21, 2004, St. Paul Police Officers Michael Dunaski and Joe Reginek were dispatched to Reaney's Bar because an individual had telephoned the police department indicating that her boyfriend had taken her truck without permission and had gone to Reaney's, where he was drinking. She was afraid that he would become intoxicated and attempt to drive the truck and she did not want that to happen.' 4. Officers Dunasky and Reginek ran a license check on the boy(riend (James Roscoe Crittenden) and discovered that his driver's license had been revoked. They also viewed his photograph. They entered the bar, and saw oniy one person who resembled the photograph. The individual was sitting at the bar, conversing with the bartender. The o�cers approached them, and asked the individual his name. He replied: "Eugene.n Offcer Reginek then asked the bartender (Eleanor Johnson) whether she knew a James Crittenden. She looked toward "Eugene'.and repiied "no:;..0ificer Dunasky.#hen tumed to Crittenden and____v��„ z -.�,_�. asked to see his ID. Crittenden responded belligerently, and Officer Dunasky "assisted him off the barstool° and wafked him toward the door. Crrttenden pufled °` " away from him, and Officer Dunasky and Reginek both walked him toward the door. Officer Dunasky removed his waflet and keys, and found a Minnesota identification for Eugene Crittenden. Officer Dunasky then asked the individual whether or not he was James Crittenden, and the individua! reptied that he was, and that the ID belonged to his brother. Crittenden appeared infoxicated, and admitted that he had drunk "several beers" since entering the bar. O�cer Dunasky locked the truck keys in the truck, and notified the complainant. He and Officer Reginek then took Crittenden to Detox, where he blew a.174 on the PBT. They gave him a ticket for driving after revocation and giving false informafion, and released him to the Detox staff. They prepared an offense/incident report, which was reviewed by LIEP staff and the County Attorney's office, resulting in ' Ex. 2. 2 05-a�1 � the issuance of a tag to Reaney's for providing alcoholic beverages to an obviously infoxicafed person. 5. On the night of August 4, 2004, Officer Jason Brubaker was among a group of eight officers who pertormed a"premise check° at Reaney's Bar. Thaf night the group inspected three bars, as well as the Dorothy Day area, looking for illegal activity. As he entered Reaney's, Brubaker observed a man and woman sitting side by side on the westem end ofi the bar. The man looked at fhe officers coming through the door, and pushed away a glass of beer which was sitting in front of him. Brubaker also noticed that the man had been talking with fhe woman, buf when he saw the officers, he turned away from the woman and looked aE the wall and the floor. Brubaker thought he looked young, and so he approached the man and asked him how old he was. The man repiied that he was 20 years old. Brubaker then asked the man if he had been drinking, and he said "yes" Brubaker asked to see his ID, and it confirmed that he was Jason Ratney and that he was 20 years old. Brubaker asked him if he knew that if was illegal to drink at his age, and the man replied that he did know that. Brubaker issued him a citation for underage consumption. Brubaker than spoke to the bartender, Jerry Jolly. Brubaker asked Jolly if he had checked the man's ID, and Joily replied that he had not, but that he had seen him in the bar before. Brubacker asked Joliy why he had served him alcohol, and Jolly replied that he thought he had lD'd him before, and that he was 21 years of age. 6. At the hearing, Jerry Jolly testified that the female was a regular customer, and he served her gin with beer in a glass, buf that he never served the man anything. Based upon all of the circumstances and the fesfimony of Officer Brubaker, the Administrative Law Judge does not find Jolly's testimony to be credible. 7. After review by LIEP and the City Attorney's Office, Reaney's was cited for permitting a person under the age of'21'years'to�drink`aicotiol on fhe"�'`""�'"�°" ""'°""'' premises and for selling alcohoiic beverages to a person under 21 years of age. _.. ._ 8. On December 5, 2004, Joe Larsin, a bartender at Reaney's, called for police assistance because two persons refused to leave the bar after he told - them to leave. As soon as they saw that he was serious about calling the police, they stepped outside the bar. Larsin then called the police and fold them that they didn't have to come. By that time, however, Officers Reginek and Dunasky were responding to the initial call. Even though they got a second ca{I from their dispatcher, indicating that they were no longer needed, they did confinue on to Reaney's, and as they pulled up outside the bar, they noticed two people sfanding outside the bar. While they were talking with those two, a third customer who was still in the bar (and not associated with the other two) saw the pofice car and stepped outside to see what was happening. Ne looked at the situation for a few seconds, took a sip of beer out of his can, and then went back inside. He was outside for less than 15 seconds. But O�cer Dunasky saw him with the can of beer and saw him take a sip from it. Officer Dunasky recognized 3 0 5-a �d7 him as a regular in the area (his name was Femando Anderson) and remembered that he had issued a ticket fo Anderson previous{y. He followed Anderson into the bar; and asked him why he had gone outside. Anderson replied that he just wanted to see what was going on. Dunasky sme{led a strong odor of beer on his breath and took Anderson to the squad car, issuing him a cifation for consuming iilegal beverages in public. In his report of fhe incidenf Dunasky noted that the bartender working at Reaney's af the time was "Joe" (later identified as Joe Larsin) and that it did not appear that any other staff were working, nor were there any bouncers present. Neither Dunasky nor Reginek spoke with Larsin about the incident. Larsin acknowledged thaf fhere were 15 to 20 people present, and that he was working alone thaf night. There were no bouncers at the door. After LIEP and the City Attorney's Office reviewed the police report of Anderson's citation, they decided to issue a citation to Reaney's for permitting a person to leave the bar with an alcoholic beverage. 9. On October 15, 2004, the City Attorney's Office sent Reaney's a Notice of Violation relating to the two incidents on May 21 and August 4. The notice indicated that LIEP would be recommending a 30-day suspension of Reaney's licenses, with 15 04 the days stayed for a period of 18 months, on the condition that Reaney's pay a$2,000 fine and have no further violations. 10. On Ocfober 25, 2004, Melvin Reaney requested a hearing on both incidents. 11. On November 97, 2004, the Cify Attorney's Office issued a Notice of Administrative Hearing on fhe first two violations, setting a hearing for November 30, 2004. The hearing was not held on that date but was confinued. 12. On December 17, 2004, the City Attorney's Office issued a Notice of �ofation with regard to the December 5 incident. The notice indicated that ifi - Reaney's desired a hearing on this alleged violation,- it could be combined with -- -- --� W°�° the eariier ones 5 13. On December 23, 2004, Melvin Reaney requested a hearing on the violation, and requested that it be combined with the two earlier violations. 14. On December 14, 2004, the City Attorney's Office had issued a Notice of Administrative Hearing, setting it for January 7. The hearing did go forward on that date, but it was recessed until January 21 in order to allow Reaney's to subpoena a witness. The hearing concluded on January 21. 2 Ex. 6. ' Ex. 4. ° Ex. 5. 5 Ex. 7. 6 EX. 8. � os a�� Based upon the foregoing Findings of Fact, the Administrative Law Judge makes the foilowing: CONCLUSIONS 1, The City Council of the City of St. Paul and fhe Administrative Law Judge have jurisdiction in this matter pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 14.55 and § 310.05 of the City's Legislative Code. 2. The City has given proper notice of the hearing in this matter and has fulfilled all relevant subsfantive and procedura{ requirements of law or rule. 3. Minn. Stat. § 340A.502 provides that no person may sell alcoholic beverages for the use of an obviously intoxicated person. On May 21, 2004, Reaney's did sell an alcoholic beverage to James Crittenden when he was obviously intoxicafed. See, Memorandum. 4. Minn. Stat.. § 340A.503, subd. 1(a) makes it unlawful for a licensee to permit any person under the age of 21 years to drink aicoholic beverages on the ficensed premises. Section 340A.503, subd. 2 makes it uniawfui for any person to sell or give alcoholic beverages to a person under 21 years of age. On August 4, 2004, Reaney's did provide an alcoholic beverage to Jason Ratney, who was then 20 years of age. Although he was carrying his brother's identification which indicated that he was at least 21 years of age, the bartender on dufy at the time did not ask to see that identification, and Ratney did not show it to him. � 5. Chapter 409.08 (15) of the City's Legislative Code requires a , license to take "reasonable and adequate steps" to prevent persons from leaving the premises with an alcoholic beverage. Reaney's did violate this request on December 5, 2004, when Fernando Anderson stepped out of the bar carrying a.., M -,�� .___r.. can of beer obsenred the police activity for several seconds, and then returned to the bar. Based upon the foregoing Gonclusions, the Administrative Law Judge makes the following: RECOMMENDATION iT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED: That the City Council take adverse action against the licenses held by M. Reaney, Inc. d/b/a Reaney's Bar. Dated this 16 day of February 20 . 1 ( `..�C-Y.t�.... ALLAN W. KLEIN Administrative Law Judge 5 �s-a�� MEMORANDUM Wifh respect to the first incident involving serving alcohol to an obviously intoxicated person, the evidence demonstrafes that Crittenden had been at fhe bar for approximately four hours, and he admitted fo drinking "severa! beers" during that period. Officers Dunasky and Reginek decided that he was too intoxicated to care for himseif, and certainly too intoxicated to drive a motos vehicle, and so they fook him to Detox. Although he only blew a.174 when fested at Detox, it is more likely than not that he was intoxicated when served his last beer at Reaney's. Therefore, fhe citation is upheld. The second violation, relating to sale to a minor, is a matter of credibility. The po4ice report provides a detailed description of Jason Ratney's conduct and his admissions that he had been drinking and that he knew it was illegal for him to have been drinking. Although the bartender on duty at the time claims that he did not serve Ratney, the Administrative Law Judge finds the evidence supporting the violation to be more credible. 'The December 5 violation involving Fernando Anderson stepping outside with a can of beer in his hand, taking a sip, and then going back inside, is a situation where so little time elapsed that a citation seems unduly harsh. Anderson stepped outside in order to see what the police were doing, and after spending less than 15 seconds, he went back inside. But the Code requires a license to take "reasonable and adequate steps" to prevent anyone from carrying an alcoholic beverage from the premises. There were 15 to 20 people in the bar, but only one bartender and no bouncers. Under those circumstances, Reaney's did not take reasonable and adequate steps to prevent the occurrence.

Martinez 893 Bun Street St. Paul, MN 55101 RE: Application for a Saint Paul Provisional Taxicab Driver's License License ID # 20040000721 Deaz Mr. Martinez: The O�ffice of License, Inspection and Environmental Protection has recommended denial of the Provisional Tasicab Driver's license application you submitted. The basis for the recommendation is as follows: On November 13, 2001, you were convicted of Possession of a Firearm by an Ineligible Person, a felony, under an alias name of Justin Andrew Bye. Sentencing took place on April 1, 2002 and July 29, 2003, after an appeal was taken. Pursuant to Saint Paul Legislative Code §3�6.16(e)(4) a person is ineligible for a taxicab driver's license if they have a felony conviction within the past five years. On September 26, 2003, Minneapolis police stopped a vehicle being driven by you and during a subsequent search of the vehicle found a large baggie of marijuana and a shotgun in the trunk. Pursuant to Saint Paul Legislative Code §310.06(b)(10), adverse action, including denial of a license, can be taken against a person who shows by past conduct tbat such licensee is not a person of good moral character or fitness required to engage in the licensed activity or profession. The Office of LIEP believes that the possession of an illegal substance while driving is directly related to the occupation as a taxicab driver and that the presence of the shotgun in the trunk are evidence of lack of fitness to engage in the activity of a taxicab driver.

The Division is also charged with approving all speci£cations and making sure that language referencing all applicable laws and requirements has been included. The Purchasing Process The purchasing process begins when a department identifies a need for equipment, supplies, services or other commodities. An authorized department staff person must then place a request for purchasing assistance by filling out a data entry form to create a requisition in the City's Finance system. The Activity Manager or department accountant must sign the data entry form to certify that funds are available in an adopted budget to pay for the requisitioned item (s). The departmenYs designated data entry person must then enter the requisition in the Finance System. New requisitions aze printed out daily in the CAS office and distributed to the buyer who has been assigned the particular commodity. The buyer will review the • requisition and may consult with the department contact person to verify timelines and requizements. To initiate a purchase, a buyer must have a clear description of the desired product or service, as well as the performance requirements. This description is commonly referred to as a specificafion. A specification may be very detailed or very brief, and may be communicated in writing or verbally. If the department has developed a specification, the buyer will review it for clarity and completeness. if a specification does not exist, at this point one will be developed and the buyer will select a purchasing method. Specificataons may be written by department staff, buy a buyer, or developed jointly. CAS buying staff regularly obtain specifications from other jurisdictions and can modify them to meet City needs. (See Purchasing Bulletin 2sp: Specifications) Purchasing Methods Buyers can use several different solicitation methods. When choosing a method, the buyer will take into consideration the estimated dollar amount of the item (s) or project, the number of vendors available to bid, past experience purchasing the commodity, and the date when the commodity is needed, among other factors. .

The law also requires that notice of such bids be published once a week for rivo successive weeks in the official paper of the jurisdiction. The City's official paper is The Saint Pau1 Legal Ledger. A written notice of a bid and sometimes the bid document are mailed to a list of vendors who aze likely to be qualified to submit bids. Advertised bids aze also distributed via the intemet to individuals who subscribe to the Bid Information System (BIS) offered by Contract and Analysis Services. An advertised bid is required for purchase over $50,000 but may be used at any dollar level Quotes - Buyers solicit quotes from vendors for goods and services of less than $50,000. These requests for quotes aze transmitted to vendors via U.S. mail, via fax, or electronically via the Intemet through the Bid Information Service. Vendors may retum a response by fax or e-mail if the estimated cost of the desired products or services is less than $ lO,OQQ. A minimum of two quotes must be obtained to meet legal requirements. Small Purchases - Chapter 86 of the Saint Paul Administrative Code permits some flexibility in the execution of small contracts. Small contracts are defined as those agreements having a value of $1,500 or less. Department staffmay make small purchases directly, without submitting a requisition to Contract and Analysis Services. Staff may contact a single vendor or request pricing from more than. There is no minimum number of quotes required. Two options are available for making small purchases of goods, services and supplies. Departments may obtain special forms known as Pickup Orders from CAS and give these to vendors in lieu ofpurchase orders. Departrnent staffmay also make small purchases with a Procurement Cazd issued by the Accounting Section of the Financial Services Office. Neither Pickup Orders nor Procurement Cards may be used to purchase professional services. A professional service agreement is always required. (See Purchasing Builetin 6sp.) Requests for Proposals - A Request For Proposal (RFP) is a detailed specification issued most often to purchase a professional service, such a s azchitectural or engineering services. Sometimes an RFP will be used to purchase equipment or systems where a complex set of performance variables or altemative configurations is possible, such as a telephone system. For detailed information on RFPs and purchasing professional services, see Purchasing Bulletins 5_sp_and 6s� 2 of 5 4/19/2001 830 AM 1'u��llaa��1315ui��u�i iaN u�iy.uuie�.u.w.o�}�uui.tuu.ua.wu..u�u,.�+ e ,.,w�..�., . o5-as� Emergeucy Purchasing - The City's definition of an emergency is "a serious situation or occurrence that develops suddenly and unexpectedly and that deniands immediate action, where failu�•e to act wouZd be detrimental to the best interests of the City or its operation. " Depariment staff who believe they have a legitimate eme:gency should contact z buyer m the Contract and Analysis Services Office for assistance. The buyer will evaluate the situation and execute the emergency transaction, making sure there is appropriate justification and dacumentation. Completing the Process Once the buyer receives all of the pricing and performance information for a given solicitation, the information will be carefully evaluated. Staff prepare tabulations of advertised bids, and transmit them to department contacts to facilitate the department review. These contact persons aze asked to send a letter of recommendation to the buyer (see Purchasing Bulletin 4� The contract will then be awazded to the lowest bidder who meets all of the requirements of the specification. When there are bond and insurance requirements, the low bidder will have a ten-day period within which to file the appropriate documents. Only after all requirements are met will the contract, generally in the form of a purchase order, be written. The PO is then routed for signature in accordance with City policies (see next section). Special Requirements Special requirements apply to certain kinds of contracts. For example, Chapter 574.26 of the Minnesota Statutes requires that performance and payment bonds be fumished on contracts for public works (e.g. construction). Cha t�.07 of the Saint Paul Administrative Code requires that, on contracts of $10,000 or more for public works or public improvements, the vendor be required to pay the prevailing wage (Same wage as a comparable City Civil Service position.)

To accommodate such situations, buyers set up a special kind of contract known as a Master Contract. These are structured so that unit prices and terms will be fixed for the period of the contract for a given set of supplies, goods, or services. Department staff are then able to place orders 9 of 5 4/19/2001 8:30 AM rua�tiavugt�mi�ui� ��y� u N., directly with the vendor without submitting a requisition to CAS. Master contracts aze set up regularly for such things as office supplies, fax machines, and automobile replacement parts. (Click here to access the current list of master contracts.) Joint Purchasing The City has executed joint purchasing agreements with more than 50 other Minnesota govemments pursuant to the joint powers authority contained in Minnesota Statute 471.59. These agreements make it possible for the City , to make purchases from any contracts established by the other govemments, provided the buying method used is compatible with City contracting requirements. Buyers regularly review contracts from other junsdicrions, particulazly Master Conttacts established by the State ofMinnesota. Acceptable agreements are then available for City departments to use just as they would City established contracts. .,,..,.,,,. �, .. „ a5-a 5� 5 of 5 4/19/2001 830 AM i .

There aze three possible recommendation at this level: 1) grant the license without conditions, 2) grant the license with conditions that the applicant agrees with and will adhere to, or 3) send this matter to an Adininistrative Law Judge (AL�. What is not on the list is denial of the license. If the Council findings were that the license should not be granted, it would have to be sent to an ALJ. The ALJ process takes about 3 to 5 months. After the ALJ process, it would go back to the City Council for acfion. Kristine Schweinler reported their recommendation for the Auto Body Repair Shop and Second Hand Dealer-Motor Vehicle Licenses is approval with conditions. Also, they have changes to Condifions 1 and 2. Condition 1 should read as follows: The number of vehicles for sale displayed outdoars may not exceed 12 as shown on the approved site plan on file in LIEP. The following should be added to Condition 2: There should be five parking spaces for customers and employees. Ms. Moermond asked has the owner had a chance to read through the conditions or talk to staff. John Fox responded yes. John C. Fox, applicant, home address of 2650 James Avenue North, Minneapolis, appeazed and stated he applied for the licenses. Over the yeazs, he has bought and sold cazs. He never had a dealers license; it was something he dabbled in. His partner has mechanical ability and lrnows how to buy discount parts for repair and replacement. They thought they would do something with a lot and have more vehicles on display than just buying and selling a cars. That is why he applied far the license. He has already examined the location and it was suitable for that type of business and had been utilized for that purpose in the past. They hope to buy, sale, and repair cazs in that location. There aze industrial businesses and he used to deliver in that area when he did a root service for another company. Most of it seems to be B-1 to B-3. JefF Hawkins stated the area is actually I-1. Kerry Atrim, Community Organizer for District 6 Plauning Council, 213 Front Avenue, appeared and stated the neighborhood was flyered about a meeting. There was no one representing J& K Auto at the meeting, nor did a representative call the office. There has been cleaz neighborhood OS - �53 MINiJTES OF J& K AUTO SALES AUTO BODY - 363 Atwater Street Page 2 opposition voiced concerning the painting of the vehicle because of air quality issues. This conflicts with the district's large azea plan which is to m;n;mi�e and not ei�auce the auto related businesses. Repair faciliries already e�st there. There was question about the site plan with overhead doors. Tlus is considered a gateway to the neighborhood. The display is not to excess 12, but the site plan has quite a few display areas. If the committee does approve tlus with the conditions, which Ms. Atrim finds to be fair, District 6 Plauning Council would like clear recourse as to re-evaluafion of the licenses of all auto related businesses to ensure that condifions are met for their neighborhood. At a*n;n;mum, District 6 Plauning Council would like Mr. Fox to come to their meeting. Ms. Moermond asked the meeting schedule. Ms. Atrim responded December 15, 6:30 p.m., 1021 Marion. The owner will get a letter. In answer to several questions, Mr. Hawkins answered that I-1 zoned property would permit a body shop with paint. A business has been there for 36 years. He does not know of any air quality concerns with that business, and there is nothing in the files conceming this. Mr. Hawkins asked is there an existing paint booth there and has it been approved by fire. Mr. Fox responded yes. Ms. Schweinler reported it has been approved by Pire. Mr. Fox stated his failure to show up for the community meeting was because they put the information at 3b3 Atwater and he did not get it. If it came to 2650 James Avenue North, then he would have shown up for that meeting. He will be there at the ne� District 6 Plaimning Council meeting to keep them appraised of what he is doing. Ms. Atrim is welcome to come and inspect the shop at any time. She will note it is neat and clean. Ms. Moermond asked the hours. Mr. Fox responded they will be open at 7:00 am. They will haue to stay open until 6:00 or 7:00 p.m. for people who are transitioning from work to pick up their vehicle or make arrangements to buy a vehicle. Ms. Moermond stated the business address is 363 Atwater and she does not see another address. Ms. Rozek responded LIEP has the home address on 3ames Avenue. Ms. Schweinler added that the applicant designated a mail-to address in their application, which is 363 Atwater. The business is not open yet, which is why the owner has not received anything. Ms. Moermond explained the district council system to Mr. Fox: the district council can be his greatest ally, as it is a collection of people who are residents and business owners in the area. If Mr. Fox is in contact with the neighborhood organization, he wi11 heaz about things sooner if sma11 things come up that can be resolved easily. It sounds like the district council is asking for a six month evaluation on the license. Mr. Fox responded he has no problem with that. Ms. Rozek responded that LIEP checks the conditions annually, and they respond to complaints, but it is riue they aze not there every week monitoring the number of cars in the lot.
