Kemmerer Cable Franchise Issues

The question of the legal status of the Kemmerer cable TV franchise may be headed to court. The city council recently approved a resolution for City Attorney Joe Bluemel to pursue the enforcement of the Cable Franchise agreement. At the last council workshop the need for television service at the recreation center was discussed. The council is aware the agreement with the cable company requires them to provide city facilities with cable service. When the current cable company took possession of the cable facility they did not transfer the cable franchise.

Repeated attempts to contact the company have resulted in no response, so the transfer of the franchise not been accomplished. The council formally authorized Bluemel to pursue the necessary legal action to provide this service to the citizens of the city.
