Summary
The Town of Hillsdale opened a public hearing on a proposed franchise agreement with Spectrum Northeast LLC after notice was posted; board members debated whether the board had formally called the hearing and agreed to finalize raw numbers at the December meeting.
Supervisor opened a public hearing on a proposed cable television agreement between Spectrum Northeast LLC and the Town of Hillsdale and invited public comment. Board members questioned whether the procedural step of formally calling the hearing at a prior meeting had occurred, noting the notice was posted after the October meeting; the Supervisor said the notice was posted in the paper and on the town website and argued the notice requirements had been satisfied.
The board did not adopt the final franchise resolution immediately; the Supervisor characterized the draft as a “very standard agreement” and said final revenue numbers would be presented at the December meeting. No final dollar figures were adopted at this session, and the board agreed to resume formal action on the agreement at the next scheduled meeting.
