FRANCHISE RENEWAL, Continued) McMillan stated Mound could perhaps be kept a part of the LMCC that way as well. McMillan stated she would hate to see the LMCC lose some of their programming dollars but that it might just be an outdated business model they are operating under. McMillan encouraged the LMCC to give some consideration to looking at a new approach and perhaps compiling a fee schedule for taping council meetings and other programming. McMillan stated she would like to get a subcommittee put together to work on negotiations with Mediacom and that she would suggest Lizz Levang and herself work with Mediacom and the LMCC. Mattick stated the first step would be to form a subcommittee and then start setting some dates for meetings. The next steps would involve developing a list of what is important to negotiate,reaching out to the LMCC to see if there is a way to obtain that, and if that is not successful,to reach out to Mediacom to see where they stand on those items.
