LMCC PRESENTATION <br />Sally Koenecke and Tom Fletcher, representatives of LMCC, were present. <br />Fletcher stated they are entering into a three -year negotiating period to renew the franchises for the next <br />five to fifteen years. The LMCC is limited by the Federal Communications Commission on what can be <br />put into the agreement. Mediacom will be attending the LMCC's August 16th meeting to discuss their <br />plans and answer any questions the LMCC should have. On September 8th there will be informal <br />discussions with Mediacom at the committee level. The LMCC is currently soliciting community input <br />on the franchises. <br />Fletcher stated the reality is that the LMCC has to renew the franchise unless the city can show cause, <br />such as poor performance. Over the years Mediacom has performed satisfactorily as evidenced by the <br />complaint logs that have been kept. Mediacom averages approximately three to four complaints per <br />month. Fletcher stated in his view Mediacom has done a good job in handling those complaints. <br />Page 1 of 21 <br />11� <br />
