Select Board approves 120‑day extension for Comcast negotiations and clears first batch of 2025 licenses
Summary
After an update on near‑yearlong Comcast negotiations, the board approved a 120‑day extension request; the board also approved the first batch of 2025 select board license renewals and confirmed two committee appointments.
The Select Board voted to approve a 120‑day extension to continue negotiations with Comcast after staff and the town’s consultant described steady progress in talks.
Jason Bulger, who has led negotiations with town staff and consultant Sue Buskey, said the parties have been meeting roughly every three weeks and are nearly ready to submit the draft license to counsel for review. Because state deadlines require the town to accept or reject an offer within a fixed period, Bulger asked the board to request another 120‑day extension from the Department of Telecommunications and Cable, which the board approved by motion.
Separately, the board approved the first batch of 2025 Select Board license renewals (class 1/2, victualler, tour guides) and approved two select board appointments—to the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Commission (Agnes Nuevega Calisa) and to the Congregational Council (Edward Bernard)—all by motion and recorded as approved on the record.
All actions were moved, seconded and recorded as approved; transcript does not include roll‑call vote counts.
