In order to provide the best opportunity for the parties to expeditiously reach an agreement regarding a cable television renewal license, the Town's special cable counsel will file a request/motion with the Department of Telecommunications and Cable of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to extend the time for the Town to file a written statement detailing the reasons for its preliminary denial pursuant to 207 DMR 3.06 (3). This will provide additional time for the parties to finalize an agreement and for the Town to not issue a renewal license without the need to devote the time and attention to matters other than the completion of the renewal license agreement.
