Westchester council schedules Oct. 15 public hearing to review Comcast franchise performance
Summary
Council voted to schedule a public hearing Oct. 15, 2025, to examine Comcast’s past performance under its current franchise agreement; the hearing was scheduled by motion and approved on Sept. 17 with one councilmember recorded as recused.
The Borough Council of Westchester voted on Sept. 17 to schedule a public hearing for Oct. 15, 2025, to review Comcast’s past performance under its current cable franchise agreement.
Councilmember McCoy moved to schedule the hearing; a councilmember seconded and the council approved the motion during the meeting’s old‑business segment. The council called for public comment before taking the vote; the hearing was scheduled with Councilmember Simone recorded as recused for that vote.
Council members discussed the motion as a procedural item and noted that one councilmember had a workplace affiliation with Comcast and therefore had limited participation in the discussion. No presentations or staff reports about Comcast’s performance were made at the Sept. 17 meeting; the vote only set the date for a future public hearing.
The hearing will be an opportunity for the council and members of the public to examine Comcast’s compliance with the terms of the borough’s existing franchise agreement; the transcript did not include an agenda or list of issues to be examined at the Oct. 15 hearing.
