On Monday, September 12th, the Rosemount Cable Commisican met in
regular session. One of the topics for discussian was the
, franchise agreement with Star Cable Inc. ,' the new owner/operator '
i of the cable s�stem in Rosemount. Mr. Ri.ch Penkert, ' manager of
! Star Cable for the Rosemount-Apple Va11ey-Lakeville-Farmington
�i area, was present to discuss the franchise and the fact that the
� company found itself without a current franchise because of the
� error on their part to affirm the resolution passed by ' the city
i council approving ` the transfer of ownership.
,
;
i The Cable Commission discussed their concerns about the areas
� of �he current franchise which they _ felt were lacking, from the
� city of Rosemount's standpoint and the need to "renegatiate"
' ce�tai.n parts of the franchise before it is formally adopted by
I the city council.
j The Commission agreed that an agreement, to be formally
� adopted by the city council, granting a three month franehise to
� Star Cable should be considered and recommended that the city
' council do so. Also, during this three month period the Cable
� Commission would meet with Mr. Penkert and resolve outstanding
i
issues to be considered in the renegotiated franahise. A
� recommendation for revisions in the franchise would be brought to
the city council prior to the end of the three month period.
� Attached is a proposed agreement granting the three month
franchise to Star which was prepared by Dave Grannis for your
� � consideration. The Cable Commission requests that you adopt it,
' Mr. Penkert has already , indicated that he is willing to si.gn it
� and negotiate in good faith in this matter. � \ �
