LEGAL GUIDANCE City Hall heads are expected to draft a contract with Rutan & Tucker, LLP. to provide financial analysis and legal assistance during Santa Monica’s transfer to a new cable provider, Time Warner.

Time Warner recently acquired the assets of Adelphia Communications Corp. As a result, Time Warner has acquired Century-TCI (Adelphia) in Santa Monica.

During the transfer process, City Hall is seeking the expert legal advice and negotiation assistance of Rutan & Tucker, LLP. The $60,000 contract would cover legal fees for services provided during the transfer of services, scheduled for June 14.
