Manor Vail Condominium Association v. Town of Vail

Appellant, Manor Vail Condominium Association (Manor Vail), appeals from a judgment of the district court upholding the constitutionality of the 1968 and 1974 franchise ordinances enacted by the Town of Vail (Vail), governing rates to be charged for cable television service. The district court held that Manor Vail was estopped to challenge the rate structure of the 1968 ordinance as applied to it. It further held that there was a rational basis for the rate categories established by the 1974 ordinance and, thus, the ordinance was not unconstitutional. We affirm the district court.
