Cable Franchise Extension Amendment and Cable Franchise Transfer <br /> Michael Bradley, Bradley Hagen & Gullilson, reported that at the Cable Commission's October <br /> 9, 2014, meeting, the NSCC approved a franchise extension agreement and recommended to the <br /> member cities to approve the extension of the cable franchise through December 31, 2016, as well <br /> as, to approve the transfer of the franchise to Midwest Cable/GreatLand Connections. He outlined <br /> some of the key points in the franchise extension agreement. The main reason for the extension is <br /> to give both parties more time to reach agreement on the terms for a new franchise. <br /> Mr. Bradley reviewed an ordinance that approves the franchise extension until December 31, <br /> 2016, and a resolution that conditionally grants the transfer and control of the franchise and <br /> television system from Comcast to GreatLand Connections. He recommended that the City <br /> Council adopt Ordinance 2014-007, a cable television franchise ordinance amendment. In <br /> addition, it was recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution 2014-052, a resolution <br /> conditionally granting the consent to the transfer of control of the cable television franchise and <br /> cable television system from Comcast Corporation to GreatLand Connections, Inc. <br />
