Periodic Evaluation of the Franchise Agreement

This will assist in determining the five city disbursement ratios. Maps of each city’s cable serviceable addresses were distributed. These maps are sensitive in nature and should be held close and returned to Randy Kopesky after each city reviews and authenticates the addresses. The following people have the maps for their respective city: Pat Snyder, Richard Glasgow, Deb Legrid, Joe Freesmeier, and Elizabeth Kemling.

Discussion occurred on how to disburse the quarterly funds to each city. Options included the funds should be disbursed by how many subscribers there are in each city or amount of percent of revenue generated by each city. No action was taken as additional information need to be gathered before a decision can be made.
