Hi <br>
<br>
I think 1-3 people mentioning it at Public Comment would be good. <br>
<br>
We have one person who spoke up at Farmer's Market saying they would
go. I'd appreciate anyone else too. <br>
<br>
Perhaps you can ask the Council to consider funding the Formal needs
assessment with any current <br>
telecommunications funds, as it would be a valuable asset going
forward. There are a lot of feuding funding needs right now, but
none of them deliver <br>
revenues directly to the City. They need to know this. <br>
<br>
<br>
We can't afford to wait until the following 06/2018 election to get
this voted on and funded. <br>
This needs to be considered at some level at the next election if
citizens are going to be<br>
paying for this network through some sort of city bond.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
RAN<br>
<br>

have a needs assessment in the Yolo Broadband Plan, but that's not
formal in respect to digging trenches, etc. But for an
implementation plan, you bring up the problem of "when" and "with
what money?" On occasion that seems like "which comes
first, chicken or egg?"

<div>I'd be careful with this. Absent a formal needs
assessment, substantial -- perhaps even majority --
community awareness and support, *and* a detailed
implementation/business plan, my sense is that municipal
fiber will get tarred with the "nice to have" brush during
council deliberations, and any proposal to include it on a
near-term tax measure will be relegated to the "not now"
bucket along with swimming pools and sports parks. That
could be worse in the long run than no mention at all
during this agenda item.<br>
<br>
One or two remarks at the podium about the importance of
muni fiber might help with councilmember awareness, but
swarming public comment with pleas for inclusion on a 2016
tax measure doesn't seem like a good idea to me.<br>
