Hi <br>
<br>
Does anyone know when the public could make comments on this issue?
<br>
<br>
Would it be at the public comment period at the beginning of the
meeting? <br>
<br>
Or would it be during the issue's presentation at say 8:30pm-8:45 pm
?<br>
<br>
Thx<br>

<div>Oddly enough, the staff report omits community broadband

is a bit disturbing, but we shouldn't jump to the conclusion
that this is deliberate. Staff may be planning to highlight
that in their presentation.</div>

<div>If staff does not highlight the community broadband

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> Hi <br>
<br>
So went to the Connected Capital Area Consortium
meeting this week and found out that Winters CA
will invest in putting in Fiber. I really know
no more details than that, didn't get to talk
with the mayor or anything. <br>
<br>
The Yolo LAFCO ED Christine Crawford will be at
City Council on 3.3 to present the "Yolo County
Broadband Plan" recommendations for Davis. The
consultant from Magellan Advisors was with
Christine at the CCAC meeting, so, likely hes in
town doing all the meetings with her. <br>
<br>
I do not know what time it will be at the city
council, or if there will be public comment or
what, but should tomorrow. I'll plan on
attending if its reasonably timed, and they are
looking for public input. Anyone else would be
welcome (especially since I have another
committmetn that night I'd like not to break)
but I think it would be good for the council to
hear from citizens that we do not want, yet
another monopoly. <br>
<br>
Thanks<span><font color="#888888"><br>
