Porter rescinds prior stipulations and approves settlement terms with Consolidated Communications for buried fiber
Summary
The Board rescinded previous stipulations and voted that Consolidated Communications should pay $15,000, cover attorney fees, and agree that the Town will have no liability for damage related to buried fiber installed within town limits.
Mayor Steve Dickey said the stipulations discussed at the April 2 meeting "were not feasible," and moved to rescind the prior motion related to Consolidated Communications' buried fiber installation. Dickey then moved that Consolidated Communications pay the Town $15,000, plus attorney fees, and accept that the Town would have no liability for any damage caused by the infrastructure. The motion was seconded and approved unanimously.
The minutes record the Board's approval of the settlement terms and the rescission of the earlier motion. The item referenced an agreement the Town Attorney had been asked to draft at a prior meeting; the Board concluded the previously requested stipulations could not be included and approved the payment-and-release terms stated at this meeting.
