CITY'S PRINCIPLES AND INTENT. The following statements reflect the City's intent in entering into this Agreement, but do not necessarily reflect Access Manager’s intent. The Public Access Channel in Seattle (currently Channel 29/77) is an important community asset. The Channel serves at least two very important and related interests. First, it provides the opportunity for subscribers to view Programming, especially locally originated Programming, which is underrepresented on other television media.
