Public Act 95–9 also amended the Counties Code (55 ILCS 5/1–1001 to 7–1001 (West 2006)) and the Illinois Municipal Code (65 ILCS 5/1–1–1 to 11–152–4 (West 2006)) to reflect the implementation of article XXII. ¶ 4 In June 2007, the General Assembly enacted Public Act 95–9, which, inter alia, added the Cable and Video Customer Protection Law as article XXII of the Public Utilities Act (220 ILCS 5/1–101 to 20–120 (West 2006)). Among other things, the franchise agreement specifically provided that Mediacom would “maintain an office in the City which shall be open to the general public during normal business hours.” Although the record on appeal does not indicate when Mediacom opened its customer service center in Carbondale, it does indicate that for some time, the office was located on North U.S. See 65 ILCS 5/11–42–11 (West 2006) (granting municipalities the authority to enter into franchise agreements with cable operators). ¶ 3 In January 2007, following the expiration of a franchise agreement through which Mediacom had provided cable television services to residents of the City, the City and Mediacom entered into a similar franchise agreement for a term of seven years. Mediacom appeals, and for the reasons that follow, we affirm. ¶ 1 On cross-motions for summary judgment arising from a dispute regarding the operation of the defendant's customer service center in Carbondale, the circuit court entered judgment against the defendant, Mediacom Illinois, LLC (Mediacom), and in favor of the plaintiffs, the County of Jackson (the County) and the City of Carbondale (the City).
