Council discusses removal of unused cable pedestals and upcoming asphalt repairs; Frontier pole remains unresolved
Summary
Public works reported outreach to cable and utility companies about removing abandoned TV pedestals and contractors provided quotes for townwide asphalt repairs; the hanging Frontier pole near Dairy Queen remained an open issue.
During the streets report, council members discussed contacting Mediacom to remove old TV pedestals the company no longer uses after switching to fiber and pursuing asphalt repairs across town.
Public works staff (referred to as Bubba in the meeting) said he would try to reach Mediacom about removing unused pedestals and that a contractor had visited to provide quotes for asphalt repairs. Bubba and council members said the town will review quotes to ensure the work fits within the street budget before proceeding.
Council members also noted an unresolved hanging pole the town has been pressing Frontier and other utilities to address near the Dairy Queen location. A council speaker said they had been "trying to hold Frontier for that pole that's hanging in the wires by Dairy Queen" but had not reached resolution.
No formal motion or vote was recorded on the Mediacom pedestals or the asphalt repairs during the meeting; staff said they would follow up on contractor quotes and attempt to contact the companies involved.
