Town of Maine closes public hearing and moves to approve cable franchise with Spectrum Northeast
Summary
After a brief public hearing with no audience comment, the Town of Maine board closed the hearing and moved to vote on a resolution granting a cable television franchise agreement to Spectrum Northeast. The roll call was recorded in the meeting transcript; the numeric tally was not specified.
The Town of Maine board opened and immediately closed a public hearing on a cable television franchise agreement between Spectrum Northeast and the Town of Maine, then moved to vote on a resolution granting the franchise.
The presiding official said the hearing had been held, invited public comment and, when none was offered, moved to close the hearing and proceed to the roll-call vote on a resolution to grant the franchise to Spectrum Northeast. The motion was seconded and a roll call was taken; the meeting transcript records the roll call but does not provide a numeric yes/no tally in the record available.
The action was taken during the town’s organizational meeting agenda. The board’s adoption of the franchise resolution follows the procedural steps required by the town; the transcript does not record statements from residents in favor or opposing the franchise at the hearing.
The board also handled several other organizational items during the same session (bank depositories, signatory authority, procurement and investment policies), which were discussed separately on the agenda.
