We will be examining the overall "future" of <br />communications, working to help our cities retain control over dedicated rights-of- <br />ways/easements, as well as negotiating a franchise renewal with Triax Cahlevision <br />to provide a state of the art system that will offer excellent levels of service to our <br />residents. I believe some of these issues to be complicated and involved and we will <br />need active Commissioners. So once again, please remember this when you decide <br />who will be representing you on the LMCC for 1997. <br />As always, if you have any questions or the LMCC can assist you in any other <br />manner, please call our office in Excelsior (474.5539). <br />Sincerely, <br />Lake Minnetonka Communications Commission <br />Ann C. Thies <br />Chair <br />cc All Commi.ssioners <br />1
