Norwich trustees adopt cable franchise after public meeting with Warner Cable/QUBE representatives
Summary
Trustees held public meetings with Warner Cable (QUBE) representatives and later voted to establish a licensing resolution to permit cable service in Norwich Township; trustees signed and dated the franchise contract in December 1981.
Norwich Township trustees met in 1981 to consider local cable-television service and franchise terms. A meeting convened specifically to discuss cable television operations and Warner Cable (referred to in minutes as QUBE/Warner Cable) attended with township residents to review hookup plans, license terms and community outreach plans.
After additional review and requested corrections, the minutes record that trustees moved and voted to establish licensing for cable operations within the township and to grant a permit to the cable operator. The board signed and dated the contract and directed the clerk to return the contract to the cable company and to file required documents with legal counsel. The motion carried with trustees voting 'Aye.'
Minutes show the board planned further public meetings and community notice before full system rollout. The record lists attending representatives and notes that trustees asked for several contract changes prior to signing; minutes reference a later special meeting at which trustees signed the contract and prepared to deliver it to the cable operator.
