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

[Robert Nickerson]

Hi

I can only agree on that, now that I have read this over.

The last interactions I've had with the City Staff have been negative
on having a June 2016 vote because of the  competing tax measure,
  and they suggested 11/2016 as more appropriate.

I asked them to look into the reported requirement that an election 
where there is a bond issue
needed to be a city council election, and have received no definitive 
answer.

  Looks like this task force is a step back from even getting municipal 
Fiber optic,
  but more  focused on studying broadband in Davis,  and a lot of extra 
effort.

Anyone have any ideas on what to do with this ?

The staff report and recommendation will be presented as a consent item 
tomorrow at the city council.

Thanks

P.S. How does this relate to the Sports Complex?
