Attorney Susan Delegal was present on behalf of e.spire and Metromedia. Ms. Delegal referred
to the telecommunications ordinance placed on first reading at the last Council meeting, which
she stated would be generally applicable to all users of the rights-of--way. Ms. Delegal explained
that the terms of the franchise agreements proposed for e.spire and Metromedia state that the
agreements would expire upon adoption of the new ordinance. Because this ordinance is
scheduled for second reading in early January 2001, and individual agreements will no longer be
• permissible under the new tax simplification act after the first of the year, Ms. Delegal felt it
appropriate to withdraw the request for approval of the individual agreement.

Assistant Village Manager, Doug Smith will be responsible for contacting the finalists and setting
up the interview schedules. In the meantime, please find attached the resumes of the six finalists
and the seven standbys. The remainder of the applicants listed and their resumes are located in

In addition to the resumes and the listing of applicants find enclosed a copy of the job
announcement and the Scope of Services for the Tennis Director for your consideration when
