Discuss, consider, and take appropriate action regarding agreement with Charter Communications Operating, LLC d/b/a Spectrum for fiber internet services at 321 Ed Schmidt Blvd, Suite 200 (former Commissioner Pct 4 office) Hutto, Tx 78634 in the amount of $1,099.00 a month with a $250.00 installation fee and authorizing execution of the agreement.

This agreement is to upgrade the internet service at the former Commissioner Precinct 4 office in Hutto from cable modem to fiber-optic internet. The reason for this change is that the previous Hutto Annex had a 36-month fiber contract that carried a large termination fee. Moving this service increases the service cost at the new office, but avoids the termination fee. Charter would not/will not agree to waive early termination fees on any fiber agreement, but has agreed to add a non-appropriation clause. Legal has approved moving forward with this clause.
