The Village of Mundelein Board of Trustees recessed into a public hearing on Aug. 11 to consider a five-year cable franchise agreement with Comcast of Illinois LP; no members of the public commented on the agreement during the hearing.
Village staff described the agreement as a standard five-year franchise for cable services under which the village receives a portion of revenue from residents who subscribe to Comcast services. The board reconvened and passed an ordinance authorizing the village to enter into the cable television franchise agreement.
Trustee Warren moved to pass the ordinance and Trustee Drico seconded. The ordinance passed on a roll-call vote with the clerk recording all affirmative votes; the board did not record any amendments or conditions tied to the ordinance during the meeting.
The hearing record shows the board will bring the final agreement to the regular meeting packet for execution; details about specific revenue shares or franchise fees were not discussed on the record during the hearing.
