Approval of Agenda II. CONSENT ITEMS (See Tab 1) A. Approve Minutes of meeting of January 24, 2018 B. Approve Resolution # PWC2018.02 adopting arbitration as a means of resolving all non-residential customer disputes. Comments: PWC has determined that arbitration offers a fair, efficient, and cost-effective means of achieving binding dispute resolution for PWC and its non-residential customers by an arbitrator who is familiar with utility practices and utility law. PWC therefore concludes that binding arbitration before a single arbitrator in accordance with the then existing Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), including the Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection, for the resolution of all non-residential customer disputes is prudent and should be adopted. C. Approve Action on Easement Approve staff recommendation to sell through private negotiation a 20 foot wide permanent utility easement granted by Barbara M. Johnson, unmarried, and described in Book 10121, Page 537, Cumberland County Registry. The utility easement is no longer needed by Fayetteville -

Federal Communications Commission FCC 01-329 I. INTRODUCTION 1
Federal Communications Commission FCC 01-329 Before the Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of ) ) Rules and Policies Concerning ) MM Docket No. 01-317 Multiple Ownership of Radio Broadcast ) Stations in Local Markets ) ) ) Definition of Radio Markets ) MM Docket No. 00-244 NOTICE OF PROPOSED RULE MAKING AND FURTHER NOTICE OF PROPOSED RULE MAKING Adopted: November 8, 2001 Released: November 9, 2001 By the Commission: Commissioners Copps and Martin issuing separate statements. Comment Date: 60 Days After Publication in Federal Register Reply Comment Date: 90 Days After Publication in Federal Register I. INTRODUCTION 1. In accordance with Sections 309(a) and 310(d) of the Communications Act of 1934 (the 1934 Act), the Commission issues new radio broadcast licenses and approves the assignment and transfer of those licenses only when those actions are consistent with the public interest, 1 convenience, and necessity. Pursuant to its public interest authority, the Commission historically has sought to promote diversity and competition in broadcasting by limiting by rule the number of 2 radio stations a single party could own or acquire in a local market. In Section 202(b) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the 1996 Act), Congress directed the Commission to revise its 3 local radio ownership rule to relax the numerical station limits in the ownership rules. In the almost six years since the Commission implemented this congressional directive, the local radio market has been significantly transformed as many communities throughout the country have experienced increased consolidation of radio station ownership. In this proceeding, we seek to examine the effect that this consolidation has had on the public and to consider possible changes to our local radio ownership rules and policies to reflect the current radio marketplace. -

Asheville I-26 Connector River User Communication Plan
I-26 Connector STIP Project No. I-2513 I-26 Asheville Connector from I-40 to US 19-23-70 north of Asheville in Buncombe County, North Carolina STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS PLAN FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE I-26 ASHEVILLE CONNECTOR I-26 Connector Project Overview The I-26 Connector project is an interstate freeway project that would connect I-26 in southwestern Asheville to US 19-23-70 in northwest Asheville and have a total length of approximately 7 miles. The I-26 Connector would extend I-26 from I-40 to US 19-23-70 and would allow for the eventual designation of I-26 from Charleston, South Carolina, to Johnson City, Tennessee, once a remaining section from the north end of this project to Mars Hill, North Carolina, is completed. The I-26 Connector would upgrade and widen I-240 from I-40 to Patton Avenue and then cross the French Broad River as a new freeway to US 19-23-70 slightly south of the Broadway interchange. The project is broken into three separate sections. The first section, Section C includes the area around the I-26/I- 40/I-240 interchange. Section A of the project is the widening and improvements along I-240 from slightly north of the I-26/I-40/I-240 interchange to slightly south of Patton Avenue. Section B of the project is from slightly south of the Patton Avenue interchange to US 19-23-70 near the Broadway interchange and includes a new roadway and bridges across the French Broad River. -
