Despite continued scrutinizing from members of the community, the possibility of a new 10-year contract with AT&T Broadband will be presented at Monday’s City Council meeting.

After considering a renewal of the existing cable franchise agreement for a few months, the council took the information they had generated and came up with a final draft for Mayor Greg Sparrow to review.

The city signed a contract with AT&T for the past 10 years, but citizens’ complaints about quality of reception and customer service brought the issue into question when it came time to renew.

The idea to renegotiate a deal was brought up in a February council meeting. At that meeting, reception problems were brought up by citizens. Third ward Ald. Steve Kapitan brought up problems AT&T has had with public “image and credibility.”

The council then instituted a two-month trial period for AT&T, and after addressing and meeting the city’s concerns, the council made the decision to go through with the deal.

Under the new proposal, the community’s “cable-related needs and interests” were taken into heavy consideration, as were AT&T’s financial, legal and technical qualifications. The council said it also has considered AT&T’s plans for operating and maintaining its cable system during the extent of the contract. With the passing, a 2 percent increase in fees will take effect.

The contract has not been finalized yet; it still requires approval from Sparrow, which could come Monday night. The contract would go into effect upon its passage.
