Review and Sign Letter of Opposition to FCC Proposal 18-131
Mr. Pato reported he had been contacted by the Executive Director of LexMedia regarding
submission of a letter of opposition to a proposed Federal Communication Commission (FCC)
rule change. The deadline for comments is tomorrow, November 14, 2018 but the Chair of the
Communications Advisory Committee (CAC) asks the Selectmen to delay action on the letter
until the CAC has had time to craft a response specific to Lexington. Since there is another 30-
day response window re: comments already submitted, Lexington has another 30-day window
for this letter to be written.
The Board agreed with the proposed plan. The CAC letter will come before the Selectmen for
approval before it is submitted to the FCC.
