Consider Extending the Term of Cable Television Franchise Ordinance and Agreement Held by Comcast of Minnesota, Inc. Mayor Roe introduced Michael Bradley, with the law firm of Bradley, Hagen, & Gullickson and representing the North Suburban Commissions Commission (NSCC); and asked City Manager Trudgeon to summarize this request as detailed in the RCA and attachments dated November 10, 2014. Mr. Bradley concurred with City Manager Trudgeon's summary of the docu- ments, and expanded on the background information somewhat by addressing the two main documents the NSCC has with Comcast: the cable franchise held by each of the ten member cities, and the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the NSCC and the cable operator, and the purpose of each document, both presented for a two-year extension as agreed to by both parties. By approving this extension, Mr. Bradley noted that formal negotiations will be suspended with that action, an advantage that the NSCC took under consideration in accepting the extension agreement with Comcast, with that contingency incor- porated in the agreement before the City Council.
