Mrs. Shalek explained the Cable Television Franchise Process and issues that are usually discussed during the renewal time frame. Mayor Doughty informed the public that this hearing is not really for the public to speak but merely for informational purposes .Mrs. Shalek explained that rates are not an issue that can be deciphered during the renewal process. Bob Taylor, Area representative for Comcast stated that Comcast is in the final stages of the renewal process at both State and Federal levels. This is a non-exclusive franchise and this hearing is part of the process. He informed the public that he is always available for informal discussions. James Pickering, Cable TV Advisory Board Solicitor, clarified to the audience that the Township has two franchises – one in the Swainton area, which is covered by Comcast of Avalon, and the rest of the Township is covered by Comcast of Wildwood. One of the issues being discussed is that no mater where your residence is in the Township all taxpayers should receive the same coverage services and rates. Also the Township is trying to have the whole town covered under one franchise. Robert Bongiovanni informed the public that the main concern is to have coverage available to all residents of the Township of Middle. Right now 5%-10% of residents do not have cable capabilities.
