A delay is only worthwhile if the council directs city staff to work with DavisGig. Otherwise, it would most likely be wasted time. City staff are already committed to their proposal, and without direction will see no reason to change anything.<br>
<br>
Other options would be to email city council members now, to prepare them. The more emails, the better.<br>

 Asking for a delay was what I was<br>
 going to suggest also. A task force is a normal governmental<br>
 process for an issue like this. It is not the only way to<br>
 get this done but I don?t think that we can arrive at<br>

     Hi<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
     Thanks for your? comments on voting for a?<br>
 bond Steve, I would say<br>
     any regular election is great. So that adds more dates<br>
 to a possible<br>
     calendar aside from? 6/2016 or 6/2018.<br>
<br>
     So now we have to see if there is some Davis ordinance<br>
 that<br>
     supersedes this State of California law I assume?<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
     Throughout this year at many meetings you all have been<br>
 involved<br>
     with, we have asked the City Staff to move this forward,<br>
 and<br>
     expressed the urgency of the need.<br>
<br>
     The task force is great, I just am concerned with what<br>
 it is being<br>
     asked to do right now in this staff report document.<br>
<br>
     ?<br>
<br>
     Things like conduct a survey, hold a public outreach<br>
 event,<br>
     interview persons, that is rehashing what has happened<br>
 over this<br>
     year.<br>
<br>
     I think this task force should be about municipal fiber<br>
 optic for<br>
     Davis, and not lets evaluate broadband connection types,<br>
 and gather<br>
     lots of subjective<br>
<br>
     ?anecdotal comments about peoples broadband<br>
 experiences.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
     So perhaps not an alternative plan, just ask for some<br>
 time to work<br>
     with Staff to change the scope of the Task Force and<br>
 what it hopes<br>
     to accomplish.<br>
<br>
     Which would mean asking them to consider some amendments<br>
 to the<br>
     scope and work of the task force either before its voted<br>
 on tonight,<br>
     at<br>
<br>
     ?public comment or asking it be postponed?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
     I should be talking to DP this afternoon and Ill?<br>
 post after that.<br>
