ORANGE COUNTY <br />HILLSBOROUGH <br />NORTH CAROLINA <br />l`~Zana~e~ s Office <br />April .30, 2004 <br />Ms. Andi Curtis <br />Public Affairs Manager <br />Time Warner Cable -Raleigh Division <br />101 Innovation Ave., Suite 100 <br />Morrisville, NC 27560 <br />Dear Ms. Curtis: <br />~r/a6lr6ed~TSS2 <br />I am writing you in follow-up to conversations between you and other TimeWarner <br />representatives and a member of my staff, Assistant to the County Manager Greg Wilder. It <br />is my understanding that Mr. Wilder has been in contact with you and other TimeWazner <br />representatives on multiple occasions inquiring about the provision of cable television <br />service to the Government Services Center (GSC) building in Hillsborough. Mr'. Wilder as <br />well as members of the County's Public Works Deparhnent have also met with TimeWarner <br />field personnel to discuss this service. <br />It has come to my attention that you have verbally informed Mr. Wilder that the initial <br />installation of the service to the GSC would cost $4,000. Mr.. Wilderhas requested this cost <br />information and justification in writing on two occasions, but has not yet received a response. <br />This information would be helpful as we discuss this matter further. <br />I should note to you that oru desire for this service relates to inclement weather and <br />emergency management responsibilities within my office. As the lead governmental entity <br />in Orange County whose responsibility it is to direct and manage local government response <br />to residents' needs in the emergency conditions, I believe that it is worthwhile to have access <br />to the best information available. Cable television service would provide access to current <br />and forecasted weather conditions, the status of any life-threatening situations and/or <br />damages, and other relevant news and weather related information. Since my office is not <br />located in the County's Emergency Operations Center, I do not currently have this access.. It <br />is my hope that this access can be provided tlxrough cable television service in the near future. <br />I would appreciate you reviewing this matter and responding in writing to both me and Mr. <br />Wilder, <br />.1olm N1.
