As part of the renewal, Meredith will be upgrading <br />the cable system. Meredith is will be replacing some of its existing cable <br />and is proposing to replace overhead wires with overhead, and <br />underground wires with underground. Meredith is also proposing to leave <br />the abandoned wires in place. New overhead wires would be wrapped <br />around the old wires, and abandoned underground wires would remain <br />buried. The Deputy Clerk asked the Council for their position on this <br />issue in light of previous action requiring Brooks Fiber to install their <br />wires underground. <br />Page 17 <br />
