Dear Mr. Penland:
As you may already know, The Council of Local Governments in Seminole County has
been working on a proposed lnterlocal Agreement related to establishing a Government
and Education Cable TV Channel (or Channels) for the past 18 months.
Five of the cities have endorsed this agreement as well as the Seminole County School
Board. The City Commissions who have endorsed this agreement to date are:
Casselberry, Lake Mary, Oviedo, Sanford, and Winter Springs.
The matter is now before Seminole Community College Board of Trustees and I expect it
to be positively acted upon in the upcoming weeks. President Ann McGee was
approached last year in reference to this issue and is very supportive. Seminole
Community College was invited to join CALNO as an ex-officio member last year
specifically to enable them to participate in this endeavor since they, like the School
Board do not have franchise agreements with the cable companies.
During the next month or so I also expect this to be placed on the Seminole County
Commission Meeting Agenda and I anticipate their positive action.
