8. Broadband Expansion CommitteeAgenda Item #8 Discussion on Broadband Expansion Committee
Broadband Expansion Committee. Here are my thoughts for consideration:
Purpose:
To work with Internet Service Providers to explore FTTH opportunities and develop a plan, for
City Council Approval, that would provide reliable, cost-effective, high-speed internet to every
premise in Scandia. (NOTE: The City has already reached out to CTC and asked them to
participate in this process)
The plan should include the following documentation:
Financial Impact on the overall financial situation of the City
Cost/Benefit Analysis to the various stakeholder groups
Contractual business relationship between the Provider and the City of Scandia
Construction Schedule
Construction Alternates including cost impacts
Evaluation of funding sources to be leveraged including State and Federal Grants
Plan to gain community support and attract subscribers
Goal:
Present a detailed plan, including the above information, to the Scandia City Council for
consideration by ????, 2020.
