TB Resolution 2023- 071: Adopt 2024 PEG Access Studio Capital Budget
Whereas the 2003 Franchise Agreement between Charter Communications and the City of Ithaca authorizes Charter Communications to collect $0.15 per subscriber per month to be used for
the purchase of equipment for the PEG Access Studio; and
Whereas the Franchise Agreement outlines the creation of an Access Oversight Committee which shall be responsible for approving the timing, use and amount of PEG access equipment acquired
each year over the term of the agreement; and
Whereas, in anticipation of equipment upgrades, to be reviewed in greater detail upon receipt from Charter Communications of a line-item proposal, the Access Oversight Committee has
approved a 2024 contingency capital budget not to exceed $29,000; and
Whereas the Franchise Agreement states that participating municipalities, including the Town of Ithaca, must adopt the annual PEG Access Studio budget by June 30 of the preceding year;
now therefore be it
Resolved that the Town Board adopts the 2024 PEG Access Studio budget as recommended by the Access Oversight Committee.
