City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />January 22, 2013 <br />Page 2 of 15 <br /> <br />Alan Sobel, 1408 Kennedy, Louisville, CO voiced his concern over the City Manager’s <br />Office ability and intent to represent Louisville resident’s interest in cable and Internet <br />matters. The City Manager recommended the City Council delay the Franchise <br />Agreement negotiations until after Denver and Aurora have negotiated their contracts <br />with Comcast by bringing forward an ordinance to extend the Franchise Agreement for <br />one year. He noted Louisville was a member of the GMTC and the City Manager <br />recommended Council withdraw from the organization. He felt the City Manager does <br />not represent the interests of the citizens of Louisville in cable and Internet matters. <br /> <br />APPROVAL OF THE CONSENT AGENDA <br /> <br />Mayor Muckle moved to approve the consent agenda, seconded by Council member <br />Jasiak.

He explained the GMTC was in the <br />process of disbanding to become a non-profit organization and the City was asked not <br />to obstruct that process. <br /> <br />He commended President Obama and the Presidential inauguration ceremony. <br /> <br />CITY MANAGER’S REPORT <br /> <br />City Manager Fleming addressed the South Boulder Road construction/road closures <br />and requested Public Works Director Kowar provide an update. Public Works Director <br />Kowar explained the Steel Ranch South project is connecting to the City’s storm sewer <br />system and eventually to the City’s water system. Due to the nature of work and the <br />location of the utilities, South Boulder Road was closed. The closure was between 3:00 <br />and 9:00 p.m. on the westbound lane. The detour took traffic on Highway 42, Pine,
