6 <br />TWC could commit to a beginning time, would then need to apply for permits <br />(and has no control over the time period for obtaining the permits), and then <br />could commit to a completion date by referencing a certain number of months <br />after obtaining the permits. In response to a question from Mr, Patrick, Mr. <br />Hourigan agreed that TWC could start with Southern Human Services Center <br />because it does not involve the railroad or highway crossings. <br />The group then took a break for lunch, When the group reconvened, it reviewed <br />the mediator's handout, "To Do as of 9/22/04" and made the following points <br />and decisions: <br />Section i (c) Term of Grant <br />In an earlier meeting, the parties had agreed to revisit this issue after all other <br />substantive issues have been resolved, At this meeting, Mr. Patrick asked TWC to <br />consider setting July r, 2016 as the termination date for this franchise. He said <br />that this date would allow for better coordination across the County's and Town <br />of Chapel Hill's separate franchises, <br />Mr. Patrick added that there may be tradeoffs across the length of the franchise <br />and TWC's options regarding capital expenditures associated with meeting the <br />community's needs for PEG access. He asked TWC to make a proposal or provide <br />options that would meet both Orange County's and TWC's needs, <br />Sections 2 and g All agreed to accept Sections 2 (Definitions) and 3 <br />(Service Area) as they appear in the common draft ("TWC Last Proposal, <br />2/26/2004"). <br />Section 4 -Cable System Service Area Extension <br />Mr. Patrick distributed his written reactions to the x/27/04 TWC revision of <br />Section 4 drafted and distributed by Mr. Phillips. He noted that both "street <br />miles" and "cable miles" were used and asked for clarification, Ms. McCausland <br />said that it would be problematic if the grantor and grantee used different <br />measures for determining density. All agreed to use the term "homes per mile" <br />instead of either "street" or "cable," since it is expected that because of <br />competitive pressure TWC will be interested in extending service when either <br />meastrre of density reaches the agreed upon threshold (18 homes). <br />All agreed that the "closest usable active point" should be the starting point for <br />measuring density, since trunk lines which cannot be tapped into by a home <br />might pass a residence, Carrboro uses "closest usable active point," Mr. Patrick <br />said, <br />All agreed to insert the following sentence into q.A after the first sentence: "The <br />Grantee shall apply for all necessary permits within 9o days of confirmation that <br />the required density is met." <br />
