not just lots.

throughout the County with notices run in the newspapers before the work is
complete so that the Board would have an idea of what is taking place and
some of the citizens concerns.

other high traffic locations so that citizens can be informed of what is
available and be educated on the levels of service available.
Supervisor Clark. requested Mr. Favre contact the two (2) residents
from his district that expressed opposition by letter earlier in the meeting
and address their concerns.-
Supervisor MacManus inquired what type of leverage .does the
County have with Charter should the company decline to the level of service
it provided several years ago.
County Attorney Crook replied that the .County could negotiate
changes or terminate the franchise. He stated the County -has no control
over the fees and rates charged by Charter other than it would be no more
than it is in the jurisdiction from which it comes.
