MidCo Project Updates
Justin from Midco is working on updating the slides Melissa presented to the Committee in
September to reflect the additional projects Midco has committed to in 2024. This should reduce the
money needed to complete the buildout and give us a better idea of the amount the City will need to set
aside for future grants
CIP Committee Funding Request
Committee Chairman Wilmers attended the September 6, 2023, City Council Work Session to
advocate for the restoration of the IAC initial funding request for 2024 and 2025 of $250,000 per
year. The council was receptive to his comments, understanding the money is a placeholder for
future matching funds towards a large project using the newly released BEAD funds. Council is
looking for a revised funding request once the BEAD grant program requirements are known.
BEAD Draft Program Documents
DEED is looking for public comments on the upcoming BEAD program. Chairman Willmers
asked that I include the PDF documents related to this item in your packet for your review and
comment.
Project Financing Spreadsheet Review
Councilmember Kronmiller will provide any updates he might have on this topic.
IAC Charter Discussion
At the July IAC meeting, the Committee proposed changes to the IAC Charter. The Committee
made changes to the Purpose and Goals sections of the Charter. The new language is updated
and included in the attached Updated Charter. This item was tabled in August due to the length
of the meeting.
Next Areas for Expansion
This has been a Committee chair-led discussion. Staff has nothing to add at this time.
