A franchise and PEG fee audit was also conducted. <br /> Primary concerns were the results of the audit and other franchise compliance problems and <br /> future PEG funding. In the current renewal, concerns would also include the need for HD <br /> capacity, the "free" service and converter box issues, and the continuing potential for <br /> competition. <br /> Conclusion <br /> The Commission will want to consider: <br /> 1) Whether to agree to the informal process at the outset. <br /> 2) How to complete a past-performance and compliance review, and whether to <br /> retain any consultants to, for example, provide a needs assessment. <br /> 3) At minimum, producing another 5 or 10-year PEG capital/equipment plan and <br /> creating a Commission committee for reviewing past performance. The <br /> Commission should also confirm that it will be responsible for conducting any <br /> public hearings to obtain community input and for negotiations. <br /> RJV-254155v1 2 <br /> SH255-1 <br />
