ORANGE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />P.O. Box 8181 <br />HILLSBOROUGII, N.C. <br />Moses Carey, Jr. <br />27278 <br />Alice M. Gordon August 31, 1992 <br />Stephen H. Halkiotis <br />Verla C. lnsko <br />Don Willhoit <br />Honorable Ken Broun, Mayor <br />Town of Chapel Hill <br />306 N. Columbia street <br />Chapel Hill, NC 27514 <br />Dear Ken: <br />�U Q -/l-92 <br />At the August 18, 1992 County Commissioners' Meeting the <br />Board approved a request from the County Cable TV Citizen <br />Advisory Committee to explore the possibilities of.working• <br />with the Town of Chapel Hill during your cable TV refranchis_, <br />ing process. since both jurisdictions are served by the same <br />cable system, American Television and Communications <br />Corporation ("ATC"), dialogue between the Town and County <br />would help identify common interests. <br />We realize the Town Council has held an initial public <br />hearing to receive citizen comments on cable TV concerns and <br />requested proposals from cable consultants. We do not want <br />to alter your current refranchising process, but feel <br />representatives from the Town and County Cable Committees <br />should begin discussions to determine if there is shared <br />interest in working together and to consider possible methods <br />of County participation in your refranchising process. The <br />Commissioners and Cable Committee believe franchise <br />requirements developed by the Town may impact the County's <br />negotiations with ATC since your new cable franchise will be <br />in effect in December 1994 and our -new agreement with the - <br />cable company will begin in February 1996. <br />Again, we encourage exploratory discussions between the <br />two cable committees. We also hope the Town and County <br />will continue joint dialogue regarding cable issues after <br />both franchise agreements have been renewed. <br />MC /ltc <br />Sincerely, <br />Moses Carey, Chairman <br />Orange County Board of Commissioners <br />YOU COUNT IN ORANGE COUNTY ! <br />732 -8181 <br />968 -4501 <br />688 -7331 <br />227 -2031 <br />644 -3004 (Fax) <br />C "� <br />
