   Mr. Scott Dansie, representative for AT&T, commented that the reason for the 90 days notice is probably the billing system. AT&T is required by the Federal Government to give their customers 30 days notice in advance of any billing change. Mayor Ellertson asked if a situation is important enough that it requires notice in less than 90 days, is there the potential for a faster notice system. Mr. Dansie replied yes and assured the Council, with his personal guarantee, that it would occur as quickly as possible.
   ...
   Mr. Dansie replied that federal laws supersede the state and local laws.
   ...
   Mr. Dansie suggested that the acknowledgment of the City's exercise of police power addresses the Mayor's concerns.
   
   Mayor Ellertson questioned clause four about access to open trenches. He asked if AT&T was involved with blue stakes. Mr. Dansie replied that they are a member of Blue Stakes and will be notified by them when someone is digging across installed cables.
   ...
   Mr. Dansie thanked him and observed that this would allow AT&T to install in open trenches without having to dig up roads after the fact. Mayor Ellertson commented that this would happen during the platting process before Blue Stakes is involved. Mr. Dansie confirmed this statement.
   
   Mayor Ellertson observed that clause number nine appears to shift costs, so they are passed on and show as a separate charge on a customer's bill. Mr. Dansie confirmed that all taxes will show separately on a customer bill.
   ...
   Mr. Dansie replied that the franchise agreement covers the use of the City's right-of-ways-the network in the ground. He added that when AT&T provides broadband to the residents of Lindon, it will use the same right-of-ways.
   ...
   Mr. Dansie replied that, at the present time, federal law prohibits levying a tax on cable internet service.
   ...
   Mr. Dansie replied that changes in the law would require an amendment to the ordinance, but the agreement would not have to be renegotiated.
