Addison board renews Charter Communications franchise for 15 years
Summary
The board approved Resolution #7 of 2026, granting a 15-year franchise renewal to Charter Communications after a public hearing that drew no public comment.
After conducting a noticed public hearing during which no member of the public spoke for or against the proposal, the Town Board approved a 15-year Franchise Agreement with Charter Communications by adopting Resolution #7 of 2026. Council Member John Lyons moved the resolution; Council Member Jason Becker seconded the motion and the board recorded unanimous support (Ayes: Thompson, Weale, Lyons, Trappler, Becker).
The minutes show that the public hearing was offered the chance for the agreement to be read in full and for public comment; attendees declined both. The hearing opened and closed during the March 5 meeting with no substantive testimony, and the board proceeded to adopt the franchise renewal.
The action formalizes a long-term cable/franchise arrangement for the town; the minutes do not record details of compensation or franchise terms beyond the 15-year length and the resolution number.
