SUSPENSION OF RULES FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ON AGENDA
ITEMS
Councilman Colsey moved to suspend the rules for purposes of public
comment on agenda items seconded by Councilman Valdati and
unanimously carried.
DISCUSSIONS:
• Cablevision Memorandum of Understanding
Attorney to the Town, Al Roberts explained that the Cablevision franchise
renewal is coming up and Cablevision has been most insistent on the town
renewing the franchise agreement. Simultaneously with that there has been
a promotion by Assemblyman Joel Miller to reinstate News Channel 6. This
would require all the local municipalities to participate in authorizing a $.58
per month charge to each subscriber. The Memorandum of Understanding
would authorize Cablevision to go forward and charge this extra $.58 per
month per subscriber and at the same time there is a Notice of Intent that
the Town would also execute the extension of the franchise agreement which
is a ten year contract. Supervisor Ruggiero said the way the Memorandum of
Understanding is drafted, it would require unanimous consent of all the
municipalities to execute the Memorandum of Understanding. Once the
news is up and running with the commercial advertisements that are sold it
is expected, according to Cablevision Officials, to have a reduction of
approximately 25% in the second year, so the $.58 would go down and
eventually faze out. We will get public input once the board decides to go
forward and hold a Public Hearing. Then we will render a decision.
