(KMZA)--The Seneca City Council has approved a new franchise agreement with Rainbow Communications for providing telecommunication services in the city.

The 20-year agreement, which was approved by the Council last week, calls for the company to pay the city 5 percent of gross receipts.

It replaces the current cable franchise agreement.

With Rainbow's plan to discontinue cable TV service as of June 30, the company proposed the new agreement as a way to offset the local revenue from the cable agreement.

The Council also approved 10-year pole attachment agreement with Rainbow. The city will be paid $8.00 per pole per year for 622 poles. The agreement can be renegotiated after 5 years.
