Telecom Board Employee benefit package amended

Melodie Phelps, News Editor
Wayne County Outlook

Monticello The Monticello-Wayne County Telecommunications Board met in regular

session on Wednesday, March 19.

The only action taken during the meeting amended the Community Telecom

Services' benefit package to include Good Friday as a paid holiday.

This is consistent with other city and county benefit packages,

according to discussion by the board.

It brings the total number of paid holidays for CTS employees to seven.

The board heard a report from CTS General Manager Shane Stockton, who

noted that the customer base for cable service has increased in the past

month.

He said that employees have conducted audits in several locations and

had discovered approximately 50 illegal hookups.

He also noted that the internet customer base is continuing to grow.

He said the wireless infrastructure has been extended to provide service

farther out into the county.

Stockton also noted that CTS should have equipment on the towers at Zula

and Conley Bottom by early April, which should expand the customer base for

wireless internet service.

The board will meet in special session on Friday, March 28 at 1 p.m. to

review proposals for a possible wholesale-retail relationship for fiber

optic service to local customers.

The board has advertised a request for proposals and they will be opened

at the meeting, held at Monticello City Hall, on Friday.
