Background

In a memo from Heidi Arnson, Executive Director of the NMTC, she explained that CenturyLink has announced its intent to exit the cable business. The NMTC was the first to notify CenturyLink that it was in violation of their franchise by making no attempt to serve additional subscribers and entered into settlement discussions with CenturyLink. The NMTC approved the settlement agreement at their May 15, 2019 meeting and also recommend that the member cities approve the agreement. See the attached staff memo and settlement agreement.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the settlement agreement with CenturyLink.
