[Davisgig] City of Davis Staff Report on Broadband Released & Article about El Macero

[Shneor Sherman]

The timeline will not allow for a 2016 referendum or any popular vote in 2016. This proposal calls for a second timeline to be started in July, 2016 for policy revisions, public hearings, etc. It's probably more realistic to look at 2018, when Comcast's franchise expires.

     Hi All 
 
     
 
     1) Thanks to all your efforts, we have a council item on
 the consent
     calendar for Tues Dec 1 meeting to recommend Davis adopt
 the Yolo
     Broadband Plan and make a Task Force to help the city
 decide what is
     best to do for Davis for fiber. 
 
     
 
     A copy of the staff report is here: 
 
     
 
     http://documents.cityofdavis.org/Media/Default/Documents/PDF/CityCouncil/CouncilMeetings/Agendas/20151201/05F-Broadband-Update.pdf
 
     
 
     Its a rather large document because it has the Yolo
 Broadband Plan
     attached to it. The details about the Task force are in
 the first
     pages.  I don't think this would have materialized
 at all at the
     City level without everyone being a force, and asking
 for and
     delivering on meetings, and Public Outreach. 
 
     
 
     2) An article about community businesses funding an
 Upgrade for El
     Macero -

     Does anyone have any insight on whether this is really a
 Fiber
     deployment or just paying a deposit to fund a build out
 by Comcast?
     
 
     
 
     Thanks
