MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />OCTOBER 28, 2015 <br />that, in the future, the PEG fee for CenturyLink will fluctuate based on the <br />Comcast PEG fee. Bradley reported that State Law says that a second <br />franchisee cannot have a more or less favorable burden relative to PEG fee <br />requirements. <br />Torkelson asked about universal service currently provided by Comcast. <br />Universal service allows people to view PEG channels at no cost.
