Upon no public comments made during the hearing, the CAC closed the <br />hearing allowing for written comments to be submitted until 1:00 p.m. on Friday, June 21, 2019. <br />No written comments were submitted. <br />Approve Proposed RCN Telecom Services of Massachusetts, LLC Cable Television Renewal <br />License <br />Dave Becker, a member of the Communications Advisory Committee and the negotiating <br />working group and Ken Pogran, Chair of the CAC, presented the proposed RCN Telecom <br />Services of Massachusetts, LLC Cable Television Renewal License. <br />Dawn McKenna, 9 Hancock Street, Chair of Tourism Committee, inquired if the cable <br />reconnection for the new Visitors Center will allow for a live broadcast. Mr. Pato confirmed that <br />a dedicated fiber link connection has been included in Exhibit 4 of the RCN Renewal License. <br />Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the Board of Selectmen voted 4-0 to approve and sign <br />the proposed Cable Television Renewal License for RCN Telecom Services of Massachusetts, <br />LLC for the term July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2029 as presented. <br />Authorize Communications Advisory Committee to Begin Negotiating Process for the Verizon <br />New England Inc. Cable Television License Renewal <br />Ken Pogran, Chair of the Communications Advisory Committee, reviewed the plans for the <br />Verizon New England License Renewal. He explained that Verizon’s cable television license with <br />the Town of Lexington expires on October 29, 2021. Verizon notified the Town on March 18, <br />2019 that they wish to renew their license, and this notification started the renewal process. Mr. <br />Pogran noted that the Town must begin preparation for negotiations within six months of Verizon’s <br />notification. <br />Mr. Sandeen reiterated comments made by Ms. Barry from a previous meeting in regards to a <br />number of providers leaving cable wires hanging from the poles and not cleaning them up in a <br />timely manner. He is requesting that the cleaning up of dangling wires on Town poles be <br />incorporated as leverage in future negotiations. <br /> <br /> <br />
