Board moves to demand updated contract and payment from RISE Broadband for unauthorized equipment
Summary
The board approved sending a certified letter giving RISE Broadband 10 days to sign an updated contract and pay arrears for two unauthorized dishes or face removal of the unauthorized equipment; other overdue accounts were reported as making partial payments.
Marissa (speaker 6), the district treasurer, reported on overdue accounts and payment plans. She said Albino had increased payments to $500 per month and that Elko Broadcasting had sent a statement indicating it would try to catch up. RISE Broadband had made a partial payment but had not returned a signed contract; board members raised concerns about two unauthorized dishes that were installed without contract updates.
Board members discussed options, including shutting off unauthorized equipment or terminating the contract, and voted to send a certified letter requiring RISE to either sign an updated contract and pay outstanding charges (including amounts for the unauthorized equipment) within 10 days or have the unauthorized equipment shut off. One board member noted the additional equipment had cost about $400.25 (as discussed in the meeting) and stressed that business-like consequences were appropriate when contractual terms were not met.
The board tasked Marissa and Kenny to assemble a timeline and supporting documentation and authorized sending both email and certified mail to ensure receipt. The district will pursue removal or shutoff of unauthorized equipment if RISE does not comply within the notice period.
