A
At
least
I
took
something
of
a
detour
in
the
in
the
december
january
months,
because
I
was,
I
was
focusing
on
some
bills
that
were
in
the
state
legislature
and
meeting
with
our
our
delegates
and
senators
for
the
the
general
assembly
at
the
chart
lobby
on
some
bills,
and
you
know
short
story
long
on
that.
There's
there's
some
minor
progress
just
at
the
state
level.
A
Nothing
that
happened
is
really
gonna
affect
anything
in
arlington.
As
far
as
I
can
I
can
see,
but
but
there
there
were
some
in
in
the
general
overall
landscape
of
of
of
broadband.
In
the
state
level
there
was.
There
was
some
lots
of
progress,
and
I
think
you
know
the
after.
A
The
special
session
ends
we
meeting
again
with
some
of
the
legislators
to
try
local
legislators
to
try
to
get
them
to
put
in
some
bills
that
we
think
will
be
key
for
stuff
we're
doing
here,
just
in
general.
So
so,
like
I
said,
that
was
something
about
detour
information.
In
terms
of
my
time
and
my
focus,
but
some
of
the
things
that
we
we
had
some
positive
developments
we've
had
charlie
for
one
has
been
going
around
to
civic
associations
and
doing
presentations
and
getting
the
feedback
we
charlie.
B
A
Yeah
so
yeah
we,
I
was
gonna,
say
that
charlie,
when
you
you
all
may
have
seen
it,
if
not
charlie,
would
maybe
drop
it
in
the
chat
but
charlie
and
his
wife
published
a
pretty
good
column
that
was
published
in
the
the
progressive
voice
series
and
all
now
and
that
that
drove
a
pretty
decent
amount
of
traffic
to
our
website.
And
we
had
a
lot
of
people
sign
up.
A
We've
actually
added
quite
a
bit
of
expertise
to
our
stable
of
you
know
of
the
firearms
planning
committee.
We
have
somebody
now
who's
a
fiber
optics
engineer
and
we
have
a
somebody
who's.
A
A
telecom
lawyer
actually
who
works
at
fcc
now
and
I
used
to
work
at
one
of
the
public
broadband
utilities
so
so
yeah
and
that
that
regard
has
been
really
good
and
one
of
the
members
had
suggested
reaching
out
to
the
business
improvement
districts
and
though
he
actually
compiled
a
list
and
gave
it
to
us
so
charlie's
been
reaching
out
to
them
and
I
think
we're
trying
to
get
the
meetings
scheduled
with
them
as
well
and
then
on
the
the
local
front,
had
a
we
had
meetings
with
with
the
county
manager
which
jack
is
present
at,
and
I
he's
interested
in
hearing
more.
A
But
I
have
a
follow-up
meeting
with
him
on
friday
to
continue
to
discuss
and
also
samia
burns,
our
new
chief
of
equity
and
racial
diversity.
I
can't
remember
any
of
her
actual
title,
but
she'll
also
be
there
meeting
we'll
be
discussing.
I
prefer
that
kind
of
a
potential
way
forward,
so
I
may
have
more
information
after
that,
but
I
think
what
else
we
had
going
on.
A
We
also
met
with
jack
and
his
team
last
week
to
discuss
the
digital
equity
project
that
they're
going
to
do
at
gates
of
boston
and
arlington
dutertes,
and
I'm
sure
you
guys
have
been
briefed
or
will
we've
briefed
on
it,
but
their
plan
is
to
use
cbrs
well
they're,
going
to
partner
with
a
a
non-profit
the
new
urbana
institute,
yeah,
so
they'll
they'll
be
looking
to
do
a
run.
Do
a
cvrs
project
on
it.
A
You
know
we,
we
have
our
own
views
kind
of
on
what
we'd
like
to
see
happen
with
that.
But
I
mean
I
I
I
don't
know
if
it's
really
worth
going
into
all
that,
but
we're
watching
that
project
kind
of
closely.
We
are
interested
in
how
it
may
inform,
especially
some
of
the
results
of
the
feasibility
study,
how
it
would
inform
the
county
zone
our
approach
to
to
maybe
forming
a
broadband
authority
in
the
future
and
attack
us
he's
been
talking
to
us
and
he's
still
interested
in
this.
A
So
I
think,
that's,
I
think.
That's
it
in
terms
of
our
our
major
updates,
we're
still
kind
of
in
just
an
outreach
and
socialization
mode
primarily,
but
we
are
still
keeping
thai
keeping
a
dialogue
going
with
the
county
forums
on
this.
So
I
think
that's
it.
B
Questions
so
open
it
up.
For
the
the
commission,
frank.
D
All
right,
okay,
I
was
going
to
hit
the
ham
the
raise
hands
thanks
tim
for
joining
us
again,
and
I
you
know,
I
appreciate
some
of
the
correspondence
you've
shared
with
mary
and
I
and
I
and
looking
at
the
alexandria
letter.
Obviously
it
looks
like
they're.
You
know
obviously,
they've
been
well
behind
us
in
in
many
ways,
since
they
only
have
a
monopoly
provider
of
broadband.
At
this
point
in
terms
of
comcast,
you
know
we
had
met
rid
met
with
the
alexandria
tech
commission.
B
D
But
in
reading
that
most
recent
correspondence,
the
thought
occurred
to
me,
that
might
not
make
sense
to
actually
go
to
a
joint
arlington,
alexandria,
alexandrian
arlandria
authority.
It
seems
to
me
that
that
broadening
the
the
base-
I
mean,
obviously
it's
still
gm.
You
know
geographically
compact,
but
it
just
seems
to
me
that
that
that
there
would
be
a
lot
of
advantages
to
doing
it.
That
way.
It's
just,
I
know
politically
there'd
be
a
lot
of
hurdles.
D
I
know
trying
to
get
the
two
jurisdictions
to
work
together,
but,
but
it
seems
to
me
that
there
would
be
sharing
of
the
risk
would
be
one
of
the
one
of
the
greatest
things
and
obviously
I
think
they
would
probably
have
the
greatest.
You
know
unserved
homes
in
unser
residents
and
anyhow,
just
just
the
thought.
I
don't
you
know.
A
Yeah
yeah
thanks
for
that,
I
forgot
thank
you.
I
actually
forgot
to
mention.
I
should
have
I'm
sure
on
my
list,
but
yes,
there
are
just
two
people.
Everyone
is
on
the
same
page.
A
We've
been
working
actually
really
closely
with
the
head
of
the
information
technology
commission
for
alexandria,
catherine
rice,
she's,
a
long
time
broadband
community
broadband
proponent.
She
actually
cut
her
teeth
on
a
bunch
of
projects
in
north
carolina,
wilson's,
green
light,
for
instance,
so
she's
kind
of
provided
us.
A
A
lot
of
advice
and
she's
been
watching
closely
what
we're
doing
over
here,
but
she,
but
she
worked
with
her
commission
members
to
actually
put
a
formal
recommendation
out
to
the
mayor
and
to
the
city
council
advising
them
to
form
a
broadband
authority
as
part
of
building
their
version
of
connector
arlington,
and
so
to
get
to
your
point,
though
frank
yeah,
absolutely
we
we
raised
this
at
the
very
beginning
of
our
kind
of
our
conversations
with
the
county
board
members
that
they
should
be
taking
a
hard
look
at
this,
because
I
agree,
I
think,
hey
you
know
it
would
give
us.
A
E
A
Of
lifts,
you
know
both
they'd
have
to
coordinate
with
each
other,
but
you
know
it.
You
know
most
of
the
other
broadband
authorities
that
are
successful,
that
are
out
there
right
now,
like
roanoke
and
and
the
eastern
shore
virginia
are
conglomerates
of
you
know
several
counties
or
cities
or
or
mixed.
F
F
A
Will
we're
going
to
continue
to
encourage
them,
and
we
we
raised
this
with
chat
with
I'm
sorry
with
mark
schwartz
as
well,
and
he
he
took
one
that
was
really
one
of
the
only
times
he
actually
took
notes
when
I
was
talking
to
him,
so
I
think
he
I
think
he
was
impressed
by
that
potential.
So.
B
Okay,
all
right
john
mike
and
then
jack
and
then
martha
john.
H
Oh,
thank
you,
john
hey
tim
thanks
for
coming
back
and
I
really
appreciate
what
you're
doing
here.
I
just
want
to
mention
one
other
venue
where
this
could
be
socialized
and
I
tried
it
myself
and
I'm
not
sure
to
what
effect,
but
but
because
I
live
close
to
the
lee
highway
corridor.
H
The
folks
who
are
out
there
now
inviting
public
engagement
around
the
missing
middle
study
and
the
ideas
about
what
the
zoning
changes
and
other
design
features
of
more
dense
housing
in
arlington
would
be
we're
soliciting
folks
and
I
was
invited
to
one
of
those
meetings
I
went.
I
suggested
that
the
digital
services
be
part
of
the
design.
You
know
that
that
if
you're
gonna
be
designing
housing
for
middle
and
lower
income,
folks
in
arlington
relative
to
the
wealthy
folks,
like
me,
you
want
to
you
want
to
take
into
consideration.
H
H
It's
not
a
problem
if
you're,
indifferent
to
price
and
if
you're,
indifferent
to
equity,
but
if
you
want
it
to
be
a
market
competitive
price
close
to
the
cost
of
service,
and
if
you
want
it
to
be
universally
available
yeah
you
have
to
you
have
to
do
more
than
just
let
the
market
forces
play
out
and-
and
so
I
know,
they're
busily
doing
kind
of
socializing
that
as
a
public
engagement
thing,
and
I
wish
we
could
get
them
to
focus
more
on
digital
and
some
of
those
areas
might
be.
H
A
Right
thanks
mike
just
just
very
quickly
on
that.
You
know
one
thing
that
one
thing
that's
come
up
and
this
is
this
is
something
of
this
something
on
the
state
statewide
issue
as
well.
Is
this
idea
about
new
buildings?
You
know
and
basically
incorporating
something
into
the
code
that
would
anytime
multi-unit
buildings
or
multi-dwelling
units
or
whatever
they're
calling
them
to
use
are
built
that
they
have
kind
of
neutral
wiring
so
that
people
can
hook
in
there.
You
know
so,
there's
not
this.
Now
there
isn't
this
possibility
of
one.
A
You
know,
one
telecom
kind
of
you
know
cooking
up
a
deal
that
gets
them
exclusive
assets
access.
You
know
in
terms
of
what
we
were
calling
for.
If
we
were
to
pursue
something
like
the
ammon
model,
there
would
just
be
one
line
going
in
there
and
it
would
just
be
all
virtually
over
the
top
anyway,
but
yeah
I
mean
it's
a
good
point.
A
I
think
that
you
know-
and
I
know
that
I
know
that
holly
hartel
at
at
dts-
from
what
I
understand
she,
she
and
part
of
her
job,
is
to
actually
go
to
buildings,
the
new
development
and
try
to
convince
them
not
to
at
least
not
to
sign
exclusive
deals.
I
think
some
some
attention
is
being
paid
to
that,
but
but
definitely
if
there's
I
mean-
I
think
also
or
maybe
jack
could
probably
speak
this
better
than
me.
A
But
as
far
as
I
understand
they,
we
have
been
pursuing
the
kind
of
dig
one's
policy,
so
I
think
they
have
been
putting
down
conduit.
At
least
I
don't
know
if
they've
been
putting
down
dark
fiber
as
well,
when
the
birds
are
open,
but
all
those
things
need
to
be
considered
for
sure.
But
if
you,
if
you,
if
you
could
send
me
or
drop
in
the
chat
like
the
name
of
the
group
that
you're
talking
about,
we
would
definitely
like
to
engage
with
them.
A
G
Yeah,
I
I
had
a
thought
about
the
possibilities
of
you
know
engaging
with
other
municipalities,
our
neighbors
alexandria.
G
You
know
false
church
city
and
the
the
thing
that
really
gave
me
pause
about
that
was
frankly
that
we
have
made
a
major
investment
in
connect
arlington
here
that
I
do
not
believe
those
other
municipalities
have,
and
so
we
have
an
asset
that
we
could
theoretically
transfer
to
a
wireless
services
corporation
to
serve
as
the
foundation
for
for
the
capability
and
in
researching
some
of
the
other
other
municipalities
around
virginia
that
have
used
this
authority.
G
Most
of
them
used
it
to
start
building
the
infrastructure.
They
used
it
to
raise
and
borrow
money
to
start
building
the
infrastructure
that
the
market
wasn't
providing
and
I
think,
with
connect
arlington.
We
have
a
municipally
owned
asset
that
we
could
leverage
to
really
jumpstart
this
capability
and
competition
rather
quickly,
and
my
concern
about
the
regional
participation
would
be
that
they
don't
have
those
assets
available
and
then
how
do
you
value
arlington's
contribution
to
to
that
to
that
community
versus
the
other?
G
And
I
think
that
that
way
that
leaves
in
a
whole
a
whole
lot
of
small
p
political
and
and
bureaucratic
red
tape
that
could
slow
down
the
process.
G
So
that
is
a
that's
a
concern
that
I
have
about
engaging
with
the
other
municipalities,
although
I
think
longer
term,
a
kind
of
inside
the
beltway
you
know
third
party
competitor
would
be
would
be
fantastic
because
the
the
economies
of
scale
would
eventually
play
out.
I
do
think
from
from
the
housing
perspective,
it's
really
critical
that
we
treat
internet
access
like
the
cost
of
living
for
utilities,
because
it
is.
This
is
just
a
broad
statement
not
to
you.
Tim
is
just
for
everybody
right.
My
opinion.
G
Thinking
about
this.
It's
like
transportation.
G
It's
like
rent,
it's
like
groceries,
it's
part
of
the
cost
of
living
and
if
we
want
to
make
arlington
a
place,
that's
affordable
for
middle
class
families
to
live
and
raise
and
grow
their
family,
and
I
think
internet
access
has
to
be
a
part
of
that
calculation,
and
I
think,
mary
from
the
commission
standpoint.
We
may
be
able
to
engage
with
our
counterparts
in
the
housing
commission,
the
planning
commission-
to
say
that
this
this
cost,
this
item
of
cost
on
the
home
budget
needs
to
be
factored
into.
Our
planning
assumptions.
E
G
The
very
least,
and
then
that
would
that
would
start
to
bring
this
issue
into
our
our
planning
decisions
and
that
it
might
add
weight
and
emphasis
on
driving
down
the
cost
of
of
internet
access,
broadly
speaking,
which
will
have
positive
impacts
on
equity,
but
also
be
valuable
for
every
other
household
in
arlington.
A
Sorry,
I
could
just
respond.
Thank
you.
I
think
those
are.
These
are
a
wonderful
comments.
I
totally
agree
with
I
I
would
just
put
out
there
one
thing
that
came
up
once
and
we
were
when
one
of
my
collaborators
daddy
kissel
and
I
were
talking
to
somebody
at
ahc
and
when
they
were
building
one
of
the
most
recent
buildings.
A
You
know
they
they
were
asking
the
county
for
some
money
to
help
install
internal,
the
internal
wiring
kind
of,
and
things
like
that,
so
that
the
building
would
be
wired,
and
I
think
they
would
turn
down
that
money.
When
I
understand-
and
you
know,
we
had
asked
them
well,
why
can't
you
use
ahif
funds
without
the
affordable
housing
investment
fund
you
know
to
to
because
it
seems
like
the
county
should
be
investing
in
that
we're
already
it's
a
there's,
a
lot
of
public
investments
in
these
these
committed
affordables
to
begin
with.
A
So
so
I
agree.
These
things
need
to
be
raised
with
the
housing
staff,
especially-
and
you
know
I'm
on
the
I'm
on
the
the
committee
for
the
the
housing
committee
for
naacp,
and
I've
definitely
raised
this
as
an
issue.
I
think
we'll
we'll
be
also
pursuing
it
there
as
well,
because
it's
you
know
it's
an
equity
issue.
It's
you
know
it's
a
housing
issue.
We
need
to
have
internet
at
home
so
anyway.
Sorry,
that's
just
something
to
think
about.
B
I
To
yeah,
I
wanted
to
bring
frank
into
the
discussion
earlier
than
later
on
the
fcc.
I
sat
in
a
discussion
frank
yesterday
with
john
stanky,
the
ceo
of
att,
talking
about
the
state
of
affairs
in
terms
of
telecommunication
policy,
and
he
made
some
really
candid
comments
which
I
thought
was
sort
of
outstanding.
He
said,
first
of
all,
we
were
living
under
a
technology
plan
which
was
developed
in
1996
1996.
He.
I
I
It
depends
what
administration's
in
what
side
we
take
on
it
and
he
had
some
really
coaching
discussion
about
the
fact
that
we
need
to
roll
up
our
sleeves
and
start
looking
at
ways
that
we
can
modify,
inform
that
legislation
in
a
different
legislation
to
allow
us
for
broadband
access
to
be
supplied
to
those
who
need
it.
We
just
got
a
study
today
that
said
200
000
students
in
virginia
state
of
virginia
lack
broadband
access,
200,
000,
kids
in
the
state
of
virginia
like
broadband
access.
So
to
me,
that's
that's
pretty
significant.
I
I
was
talking
to
probably
one
of
the
leading
senior
people
in
in
google
the
other
day
and
he
said
to
me
something
which
I
thought
was
really
interested.
He
said
you
know
why
we
did
google
fiber
and
I
said
because
you
wanted
the
late
fiber.
He
says:
no,
it's
not
profitable.
What
we
wanted
to
do
was
to
pull
the
incumbents
to
recognize
that
the
benefits
they
got
out
of
the
1996
telecommunications
act
are
really
inhibiting
many
providers.
Who
could
do
a
lot
more
than
that
now
it's
just
interesting.
I
Is
there
a
sea
change
taking
place?
Do
you
see
in
the
fcc-
and
I
realize
it's
2-2
right
now
and
you
got
to
get
another
person
in
there,
but
we
have
some.
We
have
a
friend,
I
think
in
the
white
house
who
may
put
somebody
in
who's
inclined
that
way.
But
do
you
see
this
sea
change
taking
place
and
maybe
that
these
discussions
about
fiber
underground
broadband
connectivity
that
you'll
have
people
step
up
to
the
plate
now
if
they
can
recognize
if
they
feel
it's
a
fair
level
playing
field,
yeah.
D
I
I
think
you
know.
Obviously
the
fcc
has
been
trying
to
address
some
of
the
issues
lifeline
they've,
you
know,
they're
they've
been
able
to
make
some
changes
within
the
confines
of
the
legislation
to
permit
lifeline
and
some
of
the
other
funds,
the
connect
america
funds
to
be
used
for
broadband.
You
know.
D
Initially,
it
was
just
supposed
to
be
for
phone
service,
and
then
you
wound
up
getting
using
it
for
cell
phones,
if
you
remember
the
old
obama
phones,
so
so
you
know,
the
fcc
has
been
trying
to
keep
up
the
chances
of
major
legislation
on
this
area.
Probably
it's
going
to
take
a
little
while
the
96
act
was
many
years
in
the
making.
D
I
think
there
are
certain
areas
where
there
is
sort
of
bipartisan
support,
and
that
is
for
addressing
the
access
issue,
particularly
in
the
rural
areas.
A
lot
of
the
money's
gone
there
I
think
now
there
does
seem
to
be
a
pivot,
there's
some
recognition
that
we
have
the
affordability
issues
in
the
urban
areas
and
I
think
that's
going
to
be
one
of
the
priorities
of
the
current
at
least
the
interim
chair,
jessica,
rosenware.
D
So
there's
a
group
of
30
congress,
democratic
congress
people
did
call
for
her
to
be
named
the
permanent
chair.
Just
I
think
just
this
past
week.
I
think
that
she
stands
a
pretty
good
chance,
but
it's
going
to
be
probably
several
months
before
we
get
a
third
democratic
fcc,
commissioner,
so
the
fcc
can
actually
enact
anything,
that's
controversial!
D
Anything
that's
controversial
is
not
going
to
not
going
to
fly
because
of
the
2-2
split,
but
I
think
you
know
in
congress.
I
think
there
is
the
recognition
bipartisan
recognition
that
that
we
need
broadband
for
jobs
for
economic
growth
yeah.
I
think
what
where
there
there
are
sort
of
differing
philosophies
and
how
to
achieve
achieve
that.
D
So
that's
where
you
know
the
tough
part
is
going
to
come,
but
I
think
I
think
at
least
there
is
you
know
some,
I
think
by
bipartisan
support
there
and
I
think
there's
going
to
be
more
money,
more
money
coming,
I
think
one
way
or
the
other.
In
fact,
I
believe
senator
warner
has
proposed
that
you
know
to
to
whittle
down
the
state
and
locality
money
but
to
earmark
using
the
term
earmark.
But
to
you
know
actually
to
basically
identify
50
billion
of
the
350
billion
for
broadband.
D
So
again,
broadband
is
still
right
top
of
mind
in
congress,
and
so
I
you
know
so
I'm
relatively
optimistic
that
we're
gonna,
you
know
continue
to
see,
focus
on
that.
As
far
as
a
major
rewrite
of
the
96
act,
I
think
that's
yeah.
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
will
drive.
It
are
some
of
the
privacy
issues
and
the
section
230
liability.
You
know
the
platform
issues
so
so
I
think
you
know
and
and
the
tech,
the
tech
you
know
it
was
really.
D
The
atm
att
monopoly
issue
was
what
part
of
what
drove
the
96
act.
You
know
we
had
the
divestiture
there
and
yet,
but
it
was
really
to
light
a
fire
under
competition.
You
see
what
we've
gotten
you
know
by.
D
Basically,
the
idea
was
to
get
cable
into
telephone
and
telephone
into
cable
and
we
got
that
in
spades
and
in
in
many
ways,
but
we
also
got
the
reformation
of
the
att
monopoly
in
many
ways,
so
we
got
basically
in
three
pieces
instead
of
the
I
think,
seven
or
eight
original
bell
operating
companies,
but
I
do
I
do
think.
D
I
think
there
is
a
recognition
that
we've
got
to
relook
at
you
know,
antitrust
and
I
think
the
the
google
and
facebook
and
trust
litigation
may
may
morph
into
you
know
into
some
legislation.
I
know
amy
klobuchar
has
introduced
some
legislation
and
tried
to
reform
the
enemy
trust
process,
but
obviously
telecom
is
a
big
part
of
you
know,
part
of
all
you
know
of
this
and
it's
hard
to
argue.
You
know
that
you've
got
them
and
you've
got
monopoly
in
discrete
markets.
You
know
you
could
say.
D
Facebook
and
google
have
a
duopoly
and
digital
advertising
in
many
ways,
but
they're
still,
you
know,
there's
still
a
lot
of
you
know
competing
smaller
competitors
in
that
area,
but
they,
you
know
they
they,
you
know,
guard
their
their
market
pretty
closely.
So
so
I
think
we
do
need
you
know
some
some
anti-trust
changes.
I
think
it's
gonna
be
one
of
the
big
things.
F
I
I
know
that
you,
if
you
had
a
bigger
underpinning,
you
know,
we'd,
be
talking
about
something
else
but
jack.
I
want
to
ask
you
tell
me
if
I'm
correct
that
when
we
started
this
years
ago
that
we
thought
we
would
make
money
off
of
the
fiber
that
we
had
created,
and
that
has
been
very
difficult
and
how
much
have
we
invested
yet.
I
Well,
it's
really
that's
really
not
true.
I
mean
we
made
a
lot
of
money
because
that
was
based
on
an
estimate.
We
got
from
comcast
at
the
time
to
continue
the
inet
and
at
the
cost
of
the
classiform.
We
were
looking
at
we're
looking
at
3.3
million
dollars
a
year
to
cover
the
public
accounting
school
buildings
we
had
in
place,
so
the
investment
we
made
probably
outright.
It's
probably
you
gotta
get
the
numbers
in
front
of
me.
I
It's
probably
about
27
million
dollars
in
terms
of
costs
in
terms
of
putting
fiber
into
the
ground,
which
is
there
and
and
operating
the
challenge
we've
had
is
the
licensing.
Here
we
had
a
model
that
would
allow
us
to
license
the
fiber,
but
the
problem
with
it
is:
it
puts
all
the
liability
on
the
licensee,
not
the
I
mean
the
license,
people
who
are
licensed
in
the
fiber,
not
us
the
county
and
that's
very
difficult
when
people
are
trying
to
get
some
certainty
in
the
fact
that
they
have
a
foundation.
I
Fiber
they've
got
it
for
a
certain
period
of
time
and
the
county
just
can't
come
up
to
them
and
take
it
away
from
after
you
know
a
year
because
they
want
to
take
it
back
and
that's
the
way
that
that
franchise
agreement
was
written
and
we
put
a
broadband
commission
on
it.
I
think
maybe
you're
part
of
that
right.
I
was
yeah,
thankfully,
so
yes
and
mary
mary's
team
came
back
with
some
pretty
good
analysis
that
it
was.
I
The
business
model
was
faulted
in
terms
of
doing
that,
but
in
terms
of
delivering
service,
you
know,
if
you
take,
that
cost
that
projection
we
got
from
comcast
at
that
time,
which
was
20.
I
I
think
13
we've
more
than
paid
for
the
investment
by
not
having
to
pay
for
the
cut
the
carriage
of
the
the
what
we
call
the
institutional
network
at
that
time.
I
don't
know
if
that
answers
your
question.
The
way
you.
F
I
Well,
it's
cost
more
to
build
to
bury
fiber
today
than
it
did
then
going
back
to
the
18t
guy.
Who
would
you
say
the
other
day?
It
cost
him
a
thousand
dollars
to
go,
buy
a
house
with
fiber.
It
cost
him
600
to
connect
the
fireworks,
that's
1600,
it's
not
profitable
any
longer,
and
so
what
you
found
out
with
verizon
is
that
when
verizon
would,
after
they
did
arlington,
they
looked
at
comcast
at
alexandria.
I
They
had
a
couple
things
happen,
the
head
of
that
group
died
and
they
decided
they
weren't
going
to
continue
doing
it
and
it
wasn't
profitable
and
so
the
reason
comcast.
The
reason
alexander
lives
on
comcast
is
there's
no
alternative.
The
challenge
you're
gonna
have
in
alexandria
is
historical.
E
E
D
E
D
I
I
They're
gonna
have
a
challenge
and
they
and
comcast
has
been
gracious
to
them.
Frankly,
when
you
look
at
the
the
the
statement,
we
got
from
comcast
from
the
cost
per
building
for
us
and
to
see
what
alexandria
is
paying
comcast
has
given
alexandria,
really
some
benefit
of
what
we
did
recognizing.
I
I
don't
think
there
was
an
interest
in
corporate
comcast
cut
corporate
to
see
the
same
thing
done
in
alexandria
because
it
would
not
have
been
in
their
interest,
and
so
what
we've
got
is
a.
E
I
B
F
G
Commission
looked
at
the
option
of
forming
a
wireless
services
corporation
and
transferring
our
assets
to
that
corporation
to
provide
service.
B
We
did
not
we,
we
did
interview
people
jack,
you
remember
this.
We
did
interview
people
who'd
done
a
broadband
service.
John.
We
did
not
make
the
recommendation
because
at
the
time
what
we
were
focused
on
is
trying
to
leverage
connect,
arlington
and
lower
the
barrier
of
entry
to
leverage
connect
arlington,
we
certain
at
the
time
the
discussion
for
that
task
force
was
look.
B
That
was
the
focus
now
and
by
the
way
jonathan
was
on
as
well.
B
Who's
on
the
who's
who's
on
the
call
as
well,
so
that
was
our
our
focus.
We
certainly
did
look
at
it.
John
is
all
right.
This
is
something
that
could
be
considered,
but
you'd
really
have
to
take
a
the
environment
has
changed
so
much
since
we,
you
know,
since
we
made
those
recommendations
that
you'd
really
have
to
look
at
the
pros
and
cons
and
tim.
B
E
G
Yeah,
I
would
I
asked
that
to
ask
it
feels
like
there's
consensus
on
the
commission.
Maybe
I'm
misreading
my
fellow
members
that
this
is
an
area
we
would
recommend
the
county
government
look
into
the
feasibility
of
you
know
not
jumping
into
what
the
right
solution
might
be
today,
but
it
look.
G
It
seems
like
it's
an
area
that
warrants
an
additional
look,
and
so
I
I
raised
that
to
say
whether
and
to
kind
of
throw
it
out
there
to
ask
whether
or
not
we
want
to
make
that
an
official
recommendation
of
this
commission
to
the
board.
B
I
A
I
think
I
think
all
that
there
has
been
is
that
for
what
so
we
met
with
libby,
I
think
it
wasn't
long
after
we
had
met
with
jack.
I
think
for
the
first
time,
and
he
was
the
first
person
to
tell
us
about
the
broadband
authority,
as
you
know,
as
a
phenomenon
and
we
started
looking
into
it
and
so
jenna
and
I
went
to
libby
and,
like
I
don't
remember,
we
went
to
go
talk
to
her
about,
but
we
actually
brought
up
the
broadband
authority.
A
We
gave
her
the
faq
that
the
lawyers
had
produced
for
some
law
firm
produced
for
for
virginia
tobacco,
virginia
associated
with
counties,
and
I
I
think
libby
tasked
the
deputy
county
attorney
to
kind
of
look
into
it,
and
then
she
came
back
with
I.
I
don't
know
if
it
was
ever
produced
on
paper
or
not,
but
apparently
her
legal
assessment,
which
I
think
was
made
before
there
was
the
state
corporation
commission
final
order
in
the
case
of
declaration
networks
versus
the
eastern
shore
broadband
authority.
A
So
she,
when
we
met
with
her
in
september,
she
was
still
saying
that
the
deputy
attorney
was
still
telling
us
that
you
know
that
we
couldn't
compete
on
price,
that
we
couldn't
do
xyz
things
and
that's
when
we
gave
her
the
stc
ruling
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
they
stopped
making
those
arguments.
So
in
terms
of
so
just
to
back
up
a
little
bit
and
maybe
to
get
at
the
heart
of
what
you're.
A
Talking
about
what
we've
been
asking
the
board
to
do
is
simply
to
form
the
authority
because
a
just
forming
the
authority
obligates
them
to
do
nothing.
It
is
just
a
legal
vehicle,
so
they
can
form
it
and
just
sit
on
it,
but
what
they
could
do
in
the
meanwhile
instead
of
just
sitting
on
it
is
the
point
support
of
competent
people.
A
You
know
people
who
have
your
telecom
expertise,
people
who
have
business
expertise,
people
who
have
you
know
legal
expertise
whatever
it
would
take
to
come
up
with
a
plan
and
really
look
at
it,
because
I
think
what
we'd
have
to
do-
and
this
is
what
the
the
eastern
shore
broadband
authority,
their
founder,
patrick
cody,
has
talked
to
us
a
lot.
A
He
shared
their
business
plan
with
us
and
now
this
is
a
completely
different
environment,
mind
you,
but
I
think
what
he's
saying
actually
makes
a
lot
of
sense,
which
is
to
go
and
look
and
find
out
what
the
we
have
a
lot
of
anchor
institutions.
Here.
We
have
a
lot
of
large
businesses
and
it
may
not
be
that
we'll
be
the
isp
for
them,
but
maybe
we
can
provide
transport.
Maybe
we
can
provide
bulk.
A
Interestingly
enough,
bulk
internet
is
the
main
revenue
source
for
the
eastern
shore,
virginia
broadband
authority,
for
instance
interesting
so
you're
just
assessing
needs.
I
would
be
a
very
good.
You
know
be
a
very
good
first
step
in
terms
of
coming
up
with
a
plan,
and
I
I
don't
think
if
we
formed
the
party
we
would
be
doing
residential
the
next
day.
I
think
we'll
have
to
sign
up.
A
lot
of,
I
think
you
know.
A
Patrick's
point
was
that
you
need
to
get
cash
flow
positive
first
and
then
you
can
move
on
to
residential,
but
I
think
in
our
case,
what
we
probably
want
to
do
is
look
at
the
business
side
of
things
anchor
institutions,
especially
the
hospitals
and
things
like
that.
A
You
know
and
assess
their
needs
if
we
could
sign
them
up
at
some
point
and
I
some
of
them
might
be
a
long-term
contract
at
this
point
you
know
we'd
have
that
on
one
side
and
then
we
could
maybe
even
talk
some
of
those
larger
anchor
institutions
and
to
help
us
fund
digital
equity
projects.
You
know
whether
we
just
do
something
like
cbrs
or
whether
we
do
actual
fibers
in
the
home.
A
You
know,
at
least,
if
we
had
authority,
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
do
that,
but
I
think
if
we
formed
an
authority
and
just
turned
over
connect
arlington
to
them,
so
that
the
government
was
the
client
you
know
that
would
be.
That
would
be
a
big
win
in
terms
of
you
know,
client
for
the
authority,
and
that's
you
know
so
anyway.
All
that
is
none
of
that
is
obviously,
like.
You
know
concrete,
but
it's
just
you
know
some
food
for
thought
in
terms
of
how
we
would
perceive.
B
E
B
H
Both
both
of
those
things
are
too
it's
more
of
a
brief,
it's
more
of
a
brief
suggestion,
and
that
is
okay
tim.
Would
it
be
sufficient
to
just
follow
your
idea
and
create
the
entity
and
then
focus
the
study
on
what
the
operating
model
for
that
entity
ought
to
be,
and
it
sounds
like
it
would
be
quite
possible
to
create
the
entity
so
that
in
theory
it
could
have
a
multi-jurisdiction.
H
Service
area,
but
in
practice
the
initial
operating
plan
would
be
exclusively
arlington
and
then
you
could
take
your
time
thinking
about
under
what
terms
and
conditions
other
jurisdictions.
So
it
sounds
like
you
could
bake
that
in
as
a
sequencing
question,
you
don't
have
to
answer
right
now.
You
know
I
like
your
idea
of
let's
create
the
entity
now.
B
A
C
I
You
want,
I
can
answer
the
latest
question:
we
we
have
it
from
schools
and
it's
not
a
question
of
absence.
They
have
some
sort
of
access
raj.
If
he
was
here,
roger
kamali
will
tell
you
they've
got
something:
is
it
adequate?
No,
and
could
it
be
better?
I
Yes
about
the
numbers,
probably
around
nineteen
thousand
families
and
kids
that
are
in
a
situation
where
they
they
they
don't
have
access
to
the
sufficient
broadband
to
be
able
to
to
really
work
on
a
regular
basis
to
do
virtual
learning
to
do
the
to
get
the
access
now,
we've
we've
benefited
immensely
from
comcast
essentials.
I
You
know,
we've
got
almost
a
thousand
kids
on
that
they
put
in
these
wireless
hot
spots,
but
the
problem
with
these
wireless
hotspots,
they're
mi-fi
wi-fi
they
have
caps,
and
so
when
they
hit
a
certain
cap,
they
they
die,
they
stop,
and
so,
if
you're
trying
to
teach
a
lesson,
it
just
doesn't
work.
So
that's
about
the
general
number
and
again
it
costs
not
only
kids
but
adult
learners,
and
you
got
a
lot
of
affordable
housing.
Folks
who
you
know,
for
whatever
reason.
G
So
phil,
I
think
you
know
it
seems
like
there's
a
lot
of
speculation
and
memory
recall
about
what
the
county
has
and
hasn't
done
on
this
issue,
and
I
appreciate
tim
bringing
his
experience
to
the
table,
but
I
think,
as
the
commission,
we
would
benefit
from
asking
a
formal
question
to
the
county
government
for
any
sort
of
information
publicly
that
they
can
share
about
what
they
have
done
to
study
this
or
look
at
this
issue
to
inform
our
conversation
first,
because
it
didn't
sound.
G
Like
tim,
the
the
response
you
got
via
libby
was
in
writing
or
something
that
is
shareable
so
well.
I
I
trust
that
you're
sharing
your
recollection,
I'd
like
a
formal
response
from
the
county
as
to
whether
or
not
they've
looked
into
this.
G
To
what
extent
we've
looked
into
it
before
we
before
we
make
a
policy
recommendation,
I
think
we
we
owe
the
staff
that
courtesy
to
not
just
shoot
from
the
hip,
but
I
I
agree
that
we
should
take
that
information
and
and
write
write
a
crisp,
targeted
recommendation
that
we
can
all
agree
to
as
commissioners.
G
B
Only
a
few,
no
okay,
any
any
final
question
for
tim
and
we'll
we'll
move
on
to
our
next
agenda.
F
B
All
right,
well
tim,
thank
you
so
much
charles.
We
really
appreciate.
We
really
appreciate
the
your
team
coming
on
as
well
tim
to
support
and.
J
I
Not
not
not
just
aps,
I'm
talking
about
the
entire
county,
those
those
are
a
lot.
There
are
a
number
of
families
that
just
don't
have
a
single
family.
Don't
have
kids
that
are
on
food
stamps
or
snaps.
Okay,.
J
I
Types
of
things
and
they're
all
over
the
county,
the
kids.
I
think
we
had
the
numbers
about
eight
thousand,
something
like
that
for
the
kids.
J
No,
it's
not
it's
not
that
high
at
all.
It
was
about
a
thousand
that
they
kind
of
narrowed
it
down
to
a
thousand
households.
So
no
eight
thousand
was
a
wild
guess
at
aps.
I
J
Yeah
so
I
mean
we're
approaching
a
thousand
students
we've
connected
yeah
since
the
start
of
the
program
and
from
all
of
the
the
data
that
that
raj
and
I
guess
team
have
shown
they
thought
there
was
about
a
thousand
households
that
could
be
eligible
for
the
program
and
we're
at.
I
think
it's
about
a
540
households
we've
connected,
so
that
that
is
a
wildly
successful
penetration.
E
J
In
a
competitive
market
like
like
arlington
so
with
454
roughly
I
mean
that
those
are
pretty
good
numbers
and
we
have
close
to
a
thousand
kids
we've
connected
as
a
result
of
the
aps
and
county
and
comcast
partnership.
K
Frank
may
get
this,
but
hello,
frank
may
get
into
this
in
a
minute,
but
there,
the
fcc
did
and
congress
approved
some
assistance
for
school,
kids
and
they're
working
on
additional
relief
in
the
in
the
current
bill
that
they're
working
on
in
the
reconciliation
bill.
So
so
there's
going
to
be
some
direct
financial
assistance.
K
I
think
it
sounds
like
most
of
the
arlington
kids
are
not
having
an
access
issue,
but
an
affordability
issue
which
congress
has
directly
addressed
and
is
going
to
is
continuing
to
work
on
right
now,
so,
hopefully
that
that
will
help.
But
I
do
like
the
idea
more
generally,
of
of
looking
at
what
the
county
did
in
response
to
our
recommendations
and
trying
to
see
if
we
can't
get
a
recommendation
forward
about
creating
an
authority
and
what
that
would
look
like.
I
think
it's
a
good
idea.
C
I
What
people
can
talk
with?
We
pay
a
set
fee,
9.95
per
family
per
household,
so
kevin
said
about
500
and
some
odd
families.
J
J
E
I
Yeah
there's
a
lot
of
it's
not
simple,
as
as
kevin
can
tell
you
it's
not
as
simple
as
connecting.
Sometimes
the
family
is
subleasing
and
the
family
that
would
doesn't
want
to
share
the
coverage
and
there's
all
kinds
of
issues
that
get
involved,
so
it
could
be
higher,
but
it's
the
best
we've
been
able
to
do,
and
thanks
to
comcast
we've
done
a
huge
amount
of
effort.
That's
making
things
off
the
ground
and
it's
not
it's
schools.
It's
not
me.
J
It's
certainly
a
complex
issue
and
I
mean
even
when
you're
giving
away
for
free
like
we
are,
I
mean
you
still
have
people
that
don't
subscribe
to
it
so,
but
I
I
think
aps
and
the
county
have
done
a
phenomenal
job
at
outreach
and
we
actually
use
arlington
now
as
a
model
when
we
partner
with
other
communities
like
prince
george's,
county
or
baltimore,
because
of
the
things
that
we've
kind
of
learned
from
from
aps
and
their
outreach
just
how
successful
it
has
been
and
so
yeah.
J
So
I'm
sorry,
I
just
pulled
it
up
as
of
february
24th.
So
today
we
have
547
households.
E
E
B
L
Yeah,
just
probably
a
quick
update,
because
I
know
we
a
lot
of
this
is
going
to
kind
of
overflow
into
the
the
next
topic
that
jack's
going
to
be
presenting
and
zach,
and
I
are
going
to
be
presented,
but
the
public
website
just
a
important
date
we're
going
to
be
trying
to
do
a
public
beta
of
the
new
website,
starting
in
april.
We're
working
on
nailing
down
the
exact
date.
L
So
beta
would
be
the
new
user
interface
for
that,
so
what
the
new
site
will
roughly
look
like
and
what
that
experience
will
be.
So
that's
a
big
step
forward
for
us.
We've
been
kind
of
in
spite
of
covid
we've
been
thrashing
away,
trying
to
get
that
going
normal
operations
trying
to
keep
that
going
on
that
front.
We're
really
excited
about
that.
There's
also
going
to
be
two
opportunities
for
community
engagement
on
that
and
two
exercises
we're
gonna
be
doing
for
that.
That's
gonna
be
open
to
everybody.
L
So
when
we
get
to
that
point
I'll
keep
you
all
posted
on
that,
and
I
would
encourage
you
to
engage
in
that
experience
and
that
feedback,
because
we're
listening
to
that
and
our
vendor's
just
been
great
to
to
work
with
on
this
one
as
well.
So
that's
kind
of
the
big
update.
B
L
So
the
the
core
team
submitted
that
report
end
of
last
year
so
november
december.
Actually
I
think
it
was
in
november,
that's
with
the
county
manager.
We
we've
been
trying
to
get
a
next
step
on
that
with
mark,
understandably,
because
of
covet
and
budget
we've
been
trying
to
move
forward
in
terms
of
next
steps
of
meeting
with
the
board
on
that
report
from
the
from
the
core
team.
L
So
we
continue
trying
to
get
that
we're
hoping
that
once
the
budget
situation
becomes
a
little
bit
more
settled
here
shortly,
that
he's
going
to
be
able
to
come
up
for
air
and
actually
be
able
to
address
that
report
and
be
able
to
meet
with
him
and
talk
to
him
about
that
and
get
his
take
on
that
of
what
we
submitted.
B
Okay,
all
right
thanks
for
thanks
for
that
update
and
then
the
jack
we,
it
probably
gave
us
an
idea
about
budget.
I
know
we
received
just
for
all
of
you.
We
received
a
a
slot
which
is
on
the
11th,
frank
and
I'll,
be
virtually,
and
I
I'll
check
and
see
it'd
be
great.
If
all
of
you
could
you
know
tap
in,
I
assume
you'd
be
able
to
I'll
make
sure
that
we
that
we
do
that,
but
the
11th
of
march.
So
we
have
a
couple
weeks
but
jack.
I
Yeah,
first
of
all,
and
I'm
not-
I
don't
mean
to
think
it's
humorous
david's
been
working
very
closely
with
public
health
and
we're
doing
everything
he
can
would
help
him
out.
Yes,.
I
I
The
way
it
works
is
that
the
public
health
direct
state
public
health
director
gives
direction
on
what
to
do
as
regards
vaccine
administration
and
management
system,
and
he
he
directs
the
public
health
director
in
arlington.
We
offer
whatever
assistance
we
can,
but
we
we
have
no
control
over
it.
I
No
management
control,
we,
in
other
words,
when
david's
presented
with
this
solution
or
that
solution
he'll
give
his
best
advice,
but
that's
all
that
is
as
advice,
and
so
it's
really
up
to
the
state
and
the
local
health
director
to
decide
how
to
manage
that
and,
as
you
might
know,
every
day,
things
change
so
one
day
we're
not
dealing
with
cvs
the
next
day,
safeway's
got
it
and
they
do,
and
that
was
a
surprise
to
us.
We
were.
I
We
were
surprised,
as
you
were,
not
as
if
you
can
get
your
vaccines
at
the
safeway
at
harrison
street.
He
couldn't
before.
So
it's
it's
continuing
to
change.
It's
not
working.
Well,
it's
not
just
us.
There
are
19
other
states,
david
can
give
you
more
of
an
analysis,
but
every
state
is
running
into
issues
and
they're
getting
it's.
I
Some
are
better
than
others,
and
I
wish
I
could
give
you
a
better
insight,
but
that's
where
we
are
in
terms
of
technology
and
what
you
see
everything
we
do
today
is
technology
based,
there's
no
way
about
it
right.
So
you
know
this
is
so
we
we
accept
the
territory
we're
in,
but
there's
a
little.
We
can
do
about
it.
We
just
take
direction
from
what
we
hear
from
from
the
state.
B
Well,
as
you
two
two
things
one,
I
would
like
your
read
on
how
fairfax
has
kind
of
opted
out
of
the
state
piece
how
that
happened,
and
then
two
just
so
you
know
we
have
frank-
and
I
have
raised
this
as
an
example
of
what
happens
when
you
have
a
federated
model
right.
B
We
have
we've
actually
frank,
we've
gotten
quite
quite
interesting
feedback
already
so
so
jack.
We
were
we.
We
hope
this
is
a
learning
moment.
E
B
That
we
can
do
a
really
solid
after
action
review,
because
I
you
know,
I
think
there
is.
I
think
there
are
things
to
learn
here
and
there's
also
an
understanding
that
technology
is
the
lifeblood
and
that
you
all
need
to
be.
You
know,
I
heard
this
a
quick
diversion.
I
was
on
a
call
with
people
who
were
delivering
the
vaccine
right
in
areas
in
africa.
This
was
this
morning
and
they,
the
I.t
people,
were
interviewed
right
and
they
said
we
are
the
first
people
they
call
and
the
last
people
they
call.
B
E
B
So
it's
a
I.
G
Would
add
to
the
conversation
mary,
the
article
in
the
new
york
times
last
sunday,
deep
in
the
a
section
regarding
a
current
procurement
lawsuit
filed
by
a
woman
who
produced
a
system
and
claims
that
maybe
the
trump
administration
did
not
follow
all
of
the
procurement
guidelines
when
it
produced
its
federally
federal
system.
That
oh.
B
G
H
I'm
all
for
the
after
action
report.
I
just
want
to
point
out
that,
just
a
couple
days
after
after
our
meeting
last
month,
I
read
an
article
from
a
arlington
newspaper
that
suggested
some
3
000
registrants
in
the
pre-registration
system
were
being
urgently
hand
keyed
into
another
system
by
arlington
employees,
and
I
obviously
don't
know
the
details
of
this.
But
that
sounds
like
rock
bottom
to
me.
H
You
know
that
that,
if
we're
reduced
to
having
a
human
labor
force
work
over
the
weekend
to
re-key
data
that
citizens
have
put
into
pre-registration
systems,
then
something
has
clearly
gone.
You
know
very
wrong
and
it's
hard
for
me
to
believe
that
was
the
best
solution,
even
in
the
urgency
of
that
moment.
So
so,
as
we
do,
an
after-action
report,
I'd
love
to
understand
how
we
got
to
that
state
of
affairs.
I
Yeah
now
you're
you're
actually
correct
what
happened
was
and
that
one
one
example
where
virginia
hospital
center
decided.
They
were
no
longer
going
to
provide
manage
that.
Now
how
that
happened,
we
don't
know,
but
they
turned
over
those
names
and
the
county
had
to
hand
enter
their
names.
Didn't
have
files
that
mean
it
was
it's
painful
and
and
that's
the
type
of
stuff.
When
you
look
at
it
from
an
I.t
perspective,
there's
no
excuse
for
that.
I
There's
there's
no
reason
that
should
happen.
It's
just
a
matter
of,
but
again
it's
it's
it's
a
a
management
issue.
What
john
pointed
out
is
what
happened?
Is
the
procurement
issue
took
place
and
the
a
large
vendor
got
to
cut
the
contract
without
really
any
any
competition
and.
I
Allegedly
yeah,
we
will
just
give
an
example.
We
we
we
saw
early
on
there
had
to
be
a
a
call
center
set
up.
A
contact
center
set
up
that
allowed
for
anybody
to
be
able
to
come
in
whether
they
spoke
english.
They
wanted
a
text
whether
they
wanted
to
walk
in
what
do
they
want
to
call?
Well,
we
were
in
the
process
of
developing
that
and
we
had
found
somebody
to
help
us
do
it
and
we
had
kids
money
for
it
and
we
were.
I
We
got
a
coach
by
the
state
and
the
state
said:
stand
down
we're
going
to
set
up
ours
and
we've.
I
E
E
F
B
B
And
to
integrate
it
into
our
next
next
round
jack
anything
about
the
john
mentioned
last
time
we
were
together.
We
want
to
make
sure
and
understand
what
the
priorities
are.
I
L
L
B
B
I
I
Okay,
so
we're
going
to
talk
about
little
prologue,
accomplishments,
budget
reductions,
that
themes
and
what's
the
future,
look
like
so
let's
go
through
it
prologue.
What's
the
first
one
I
I
can't
be
more
proud
of
the
staff
I've
brought
on
board.
They
have
performed
in
ways
that
are
extraordinary
since
march
of
2020
they've
done
things
that
unheard
of
and
they
come
because
they
want
to
accomplish
and
achieve,
and
so
we've
done
fantastic
things.
Accomplishments
want
to
go
to
21.
I
this.
This
is
just
a
portion
of
the
accomplishments.
I'll
give
you
a
moment
to
look
at
it.
This
is
not
everything,
but
these
are
each
and
every
one
of
these
would
have
taken
in
a
normal
time
would
have
taken
time
to
do.
They
just
rose
to
the
occasion.
David
was
part
of
a
leader
in
many
of
these,
some
of
the
things
that
stand
out.
We
stood
up
15
county
free,
hot
spots,
24
aps
hot
spots.
I
We've
implemented
a
private
lte
network
for
aps,
students
which
we
knew
nothing
about.
We
did
it
in
six
weeks
to
meet
a
governor's
goal
to
set
it
up.
We've
set
up
an
innovation
zone
in
the
county,
we've
expanded
our
cyber
security
program.
Courts
are
now
virtual.
Your
meetings
are
virtual.
We
have
a
contact
center
set
up,
we've
transferred
public
health
or
electronic
files.
I
Teams
did
not
exist
as
a
product
in
march,
and
we
were
from
skype
teams,
and
over
70
percent
of
our
workforce
is
now
off
site
that
represents
almost
1900
pre-configured
laptops
set
in
the
field
and
set
up
some
amazing
amount
of
work.
So
a
lot
has
been
done.
Extraordinary
amount
of
time
efforts
been
done.
Budget
themes.
I
Coming
down
all
right,
frankly,
we'll
focus
on
just
in
team
update
just
in
time,
updates
and
rehabilitation
of
our
core
back
office
systems
ensure
that
we
have
availability
and
scalability
resiliencies
in
times
of
emergency
and
we'll
talk
about
that
in
a
moment.
We'll
come
out
of
this,
but
we're
going
to
be
a
far
different.
I
The
driving
factors,
connectivity,
cyber
security
data
internet
of
things,
ai
and
lastly-
and
I
think
this
is
so
so
important-
is
robotic
process
automation,
I'm
not
talking
about
building
robots,
but
I'm
talking
about
looking
at
all
the
processes
we
do
that
are
routine
competitive
and
automating
those
so
that
we
can
replace
staff
who
we
have
to
pay
and
wages
with
processes
that
are
based
on
artificial
intelligence.
So
we're
very
very
concerned
that
we
do
that
as
well.
Next
budget
reductions
in
total
850,
actually
it's
872
000..
Sorry,
I
got
the
number
wrong.
I
I
typed
it
up.
It's
872
thousand
dollars
in
our
operating
budget
reduction.
What
this
represents
is
7.3
positions.
I
Now
these
are
not
filled
positions,
the
positions
where
people
have
have
decided
to
leave
the
county
and
we're
not
going
to
fill
them
they're
contractors
who
we've
had
to
release
their
management
interns
who
are
a
new
lifeblood
of
people
coming
in
who
add
fresh,
look
to
the
county,
the
results
going
to
be
reduced
network
and
call
center
support
so
when
problems
occur,
it'll
take
longer
time
to
to
fix
us.
So
if
we
have
a
problem
on
say
a
friday
night,
we
used
to
pride
ourselves
on
having
it
ready
and
go
by
monday
morning.
I
That
will
probably
won't
be
the
case.
It's
going
to
take
longer
to
do
so.
We've
reduced
our
core
enterprise
system
support,
whether
it
be
an
enterprise
resource
planning,
tool,
electronic
management
tool.
Whatever
system
we
have
where
we
can
script
with
scripting,
but
again
with
when
you
lose
7.3
positions,
that's
over
14
000
hours
of
work
a
year
that
you're
losing
now
you
can
say
well
yeah,
but
probably
weren't
worth
it
well.
He
had
to
be
doing
something
in
that
period
of
time.
I
So
yeah
you
think
that
there's
work,
that's
going
to
hurt
that
that
will
hurt
us
training,
our
training
body's
been
eliminated,
and
we
won't
be
doing
that.
We've
had
a
50
reduction
and
I've
gotten
a
consultancy.
Why
is
gotten
important
to
us?
They?
What
they've
gotten
is
a
consultancy
that
gives
us
a
look
at
what
the
future
looks
like.
So
when
we
have
something
come
up
or
we're
trying
to
find
a
way
to
go
forward
would
say,
contact
centers.
Oh,
we
wonder
what
robotic
process
engineering
is
and
how
it
could
impact
us.
I
I
I
We've
had,
I
think,
now,
six
cohorts
of
of
these
interns
and
just
about
every
one
of
them
has
performed
amazingly,
in
fact,
at
the
end
of
their
tour,
which
is
a
two
year
or
three
year
stint
and
we
pay
them
just
minimum
wage,
they
either
come
on
board
or
they
go
on
and
they
make
far
more
money
elsewhere
and
they
actually
come
back.
We've
had
a
couple
of
them
come
back
under
consultancies
to
work
with
us,
so
we're
going
to
lose
people
as
well.
I
Now
this
is
a
favorite
program
with
the
manager
as
well.
He
would
love
to
keep
this
program
whole
because
that's
where
you
get
to
lifeblood-
and
that's
where
you
get
people
have
new
ideas
in
so
okay,
so
that's
our
budget
reduction
and
then
what's
the
future,
look
like
well
right
now-
and
this
is
our
base-
does
not
does
not
allow
for
just
about
anything
so
necessary
maintenance.
I
We've
got
to
maintain
what
we
have
and
whether
it
be
a
new
performance
rating
tool,
agility
management
tool,
new
asset
management.
We
don't
have
money
for
that
in
the
budget.
Now
that
doesn't
mean
that
new
money
becomes
available.
That
won't
be
made
available
to
apply
to
this,
but
today
we
don't
have
that
and
then
what
I
believe
we
have
to
really
think
about
is
what's
a
new
norm.
I
When
we
come
back
to
work
in
the
forum
where
we
do,
how
is
this
off?
How
are
we
going
to
work?
I
I
really
believe
that
the
county
workforce,
the
white
collar
workforce,
will
may
have
been.
You
know:
20
80,
on
site,
20
off
site,
we'll
probably
we'll
probably
normalize
to
being
a
workforce.
That's
here
two
days
a
week
and
then
three
days
a
week,
we're
off
site
we'll
do
more,
we'll
do
more
hoteling.
I
think
we'll
need
less
office
space,
a
little
less.
I
We
need
less
phones,
we'll
lead,
we'll
need
more
cloud-based
services
to
allow
us
to
to
do
jobs
to
do
work,
what
we
call
an
omni-channel
contact
center.
I
know
we've
been
talking
to
the
treasurer
about
the
ability
to
be
able
to
receive
calls
anywhere
anytime
and
to
be
able
to
make
sure
that
she's
given
the
service
she
needs
to
a
people
and
that's
something
we
need
to
think
about
talent
and
attraction
retention.
I
I've
got
people
here
who
are
here
because
not
because
of
the
money,
but
because
of
the
fact
that
they
like
public
service
and
they
want
to
achieve
I'd
like
to
say
I
call
them
digital
first
responders,
they're
thoroughbreds.
They
want
to
make
things
happen.
We
need
to
keep
these
people,
and
so
we
need
to
find
ways
to
invest
in
them.
The
manager's
put
in
a
budget,
I
think
he's
going
to
give
every
employee
a
500,
tax-free
bonus
that
helps.
I
But
again,
in
my
staff
case,
it's
not
so
much
the
money,
it's
it's
what
they've
achieved
and
if
they
feel
they've
made
a
difference,
then
they
really
feel
good
about
themselves.
Moon
shots.
We
need
to
think
about
what
the
future
is
going
to
look
like
down
the
road.
I
really
believe
that
if
john
tim
and
I
have
talked
about
this
and
others
the
need
to
create
leverage,
our
fiber
to
create
a
private
lte
network,
that
really
makes
a
difference
not
only
for
education
purposes
but
reduces
costs.
I
I
I
think
that's
what
we
have
to
invest
in
data-driven
services
like
ai
and
robotic
process
engineering
have
to
be
addressed,
and
then
we
really
got
to
reduce
some
things
that
are
obvious,
as
I
mentioned
earlier
plastic
on
a
desktop,
so
we
really
need
1900
desk
phones.
Here
we
pay
a
fee
on
and
then
we
go
more
to
a
remote
environment.
These
are
all
things
that
to
me.
I
think
we
need
to
look
forward
to.
Is
there
any
money
for
them
at
this
point
in
time?
I
No,
but
I
think
he
needs
to
have
an
eye
on
what
the
future
might
look
like.
So
the
summary
and
forecast
is,
I
put
here
we're
doing
what
we
need
to
do.
I
think
we've
demonstrated
value.
I
don't
think
there's
one
of
my
colleagues
who
would
say
it
wasn't
for
dts.
We
would
not
be
where
we
are
today.
I
think
they're
all
very,
very
appreciative.
I
The
challenge
is
that
it
falls
into
a
we
got
a
real
serious
budget
crisis
and
how
do
we
meet
that
need,
and
there
are
factors
around
us
that
are
rising
by
the
administration-
is
going
to
do
technology
modernization.
I
know
we
might
we've
talked
about
this.
In
the
past
I
mean
they
have
a
new
year
budget
plan,
they're
going
to
put
out
where
they're
pouring
money
into
redoing
the
way
that
infrastructure
works,
they're
hiring
a
hundred
thousand
data
analysts
data
scientists.
They
want
to
hire
a
same
number
of
cyber
security
people.
I
Well
add
to
that.
What's
happening
with
amazon,
you
know
and
given
the
fact
that
we're
in
this
remote
working
environment,
so
if
I'm
living
in
loudoun
great
falls
and
I'm
I'm
working
for
the
county
and
I'm
happy
where
I
am,
I
can
go
work
for
housing
and
human
services
a
hud
or
I
could
go
work
for
somebody
else
and
make
cyber
do
the
same
thing
and
make
the
same
money
and
not
have
to
leave
where
I
am,
and
I
think
we're
going
to
have
to
really.
I
think
we're
at
a
crossroads.
I
We've
done
it
a
lot.
You
know
I
wouldn't
say
that
it's
not
insignificant.
We
get
people
come
to
us
because
of
our
reputation.
They
see
that
we've
won
this
digital
counties
award.
I
know
a
you
know:
a
mirror
award
a
hollywood
award,
but
we've
got
a
four
or
five
years
in
a
row
and
people
come
here
because
of
that
will
they
continue
to
come?
I
I
don't
know-
and
I
think
that's
up
to
mary-
and
I
talked
about
this-
it's
not
about
me.
It's
not
me
saying
jack
wants
to
get
more
money
here
and
put
more
staff
here.
I
hope
you
believe
that
I've
been
here
for
a
while,
because
I
really
believe
what
I'm
doing
is
important
to
the
county,
but
I
won't
be
here
forever
and
you
the
commission
is
going
to
think
about
how
do
we
make?
How
do
we
continue
this
or
the
commission
may
say,
say
you
know
what
we
had
a
ride
and
we'll
be
fine.
I
G
David
check
on
the
on
the
slide
about
unfunded
above
base
requests.
The
section
on
needed
maintenance,
I
think,
was
the
most
concerning.
Would
you
mind
bringing
back
bringing
that
back
up.
C
E
G
I
think
the
the
thing
that's
the
most
concerning
to
me:
there
is
the
identity
management
software.
E
G
G
So
mary,
I
think
that
should
be
I'd,
recommend
that
that
would
be
included
in
our
our
commentary.
B
B
Yeah
and
we'll
get
after
our
comments,
obviously
we'll
get
a
draft
out
and
so
that
people
can
see
some
of
the
things
yeah.
That's
great.
I
That's
john,
that's
very
perceptive.
That's
that
represents
20
years
of
you
know,
ids
being
added
not
being
managed
correctly.
Duplications,
big
hole,
big
hole,
so
you
gotta,
you
can
cut
along
without
it
or
you
can
go
another
year,
no
problem,
you
know
but
rolling
the
dice.
Every
year
you
roll
the
dice.
I
The
seat,
the
last
one
is
very
important
too.
If
we
don't,
if
we
don't
go
through
a
process
now
of
identifying
moving
the
franchise
along,
we're
going
to
have
to
come
up
to
renegotiations
and
we
can
postpone
it
for
comcast
and
verizon,
but
it's
necessary
to
get
this
underway.
So
we
can
say
what
what
have
been.
What
haven't
we
gotten?
What
should
we
be
getting?
What's
the
best
we
can
expect
and
it
sort
of
lays
a
baseline
for
a
discussion
in
frank
and
mary
had
been
through
this.
H
I
I'd
like
to
offer
one
and
I'd
just
like
to
emphasize
what
jack
was
saying.
I
mean
anyone
who
believes
that
the
presence
of
amazon
and
jbg
smith,
which
is
a
wonderful
economic
development
situation
for
arlington
county,
if
any,
believes
that
automatically
translates
into
high
performance
in
county
information
systems.
I
have
no
idea
why
they
think
that's
the
case.
H
That
would
be
great,
but
the
idea
that
somehow
they're
going
to
find
the
attention
to
address
needs
of
the
county
seems
naive
to
me,
and
so
it's
wonderful
to
have
them
here
for
lots
of
good
reasons,
but
if
we
do
want
to
try
to
leverage
their
presence,
I
think
we'd
have
to
define
some
projects
from
a
county
point
of
view
and
say:
will
you
help
us
do
this?
Otherwise,
we'll
just
get
you
know,
product
development
offerings
from
them.
I
Thank
you
well,
this
is
in
the
budget,
it's
in
the
budget
book
and
I
think,
there's
more
far
more
detail
there
in
it
and
again
this
is
not
a.
I
don't
mean
this
is
a
criticism
of
the
budget.
It's
just
it's
just
like.
I
wanted
to
be
sure
that
you
knew
that
we
just
weren't
taking
the
cuts
and
saying
everything's
fine
right.
B
I
I
think
one
of
the
things
is
to,
for,
I
think
part
of
our
role.
Jack
is
to
point
out
the
risks
of
making
the
decisions
right.
You
know
of
of
not
funding
some
of
these
things.
I
want
to
make
sure
everybody's
when
they're
making
the
decision
they
understand
the
risk
yeah
yeah.
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
E
E
N
Okay,
great,
this
may
sound
like
it's
it's,
you
know
not
trivial,
but
it's
like
what
are
you
going
to
do
about
it,
but
I'm
concerned
at
planning
for
not
being
able
to
respond
as
quickly
to
problems
that
come
up,
particularly
in
this
continuing
covid
environment,
where
we
know
we
have
a
system
that
has
high
degree
of
public
visibility
and
dependence
that
we
also
know
is
not
working.
N
So
I'm
concerned
that,
while
in
theory
you
can
say
things
are
going
to
take
a
few
more
days
to
fix
that
in
this
continuing
emergency
circumstance,
there
will
be
pressure
to
fix
that
right
away
whenever
it
happens,
it'll,
be
you
know,
what
do
you
mean
it
takes
as
much
time.
You
know
you
need
to
have
backup
people
who
are
able
to
shift
over
to
this.
You
know
immediate
thing
and-
and
you
know
part
of
what
you're
doing
is
eliminating
your
flexibility
and
ability
to
respond
to
emergency
situations
and
some
emergency
situations.
N
You
will
be
told
there
isn't
an
option,
they
have
to
be
done
and
they
have
to
be
done
now,
so
it
it
it.
It
is
you're
talking
about
various
types
of
risks.
I
think
this
is
a
significant
risk,
actually
not
that
you
would
duplicate,
but
that
you
would
at
least
have
some
vision
of
what
you
do
when
that
crisis
happens,
if
you've,
if
you
don't
have
any
backup
anymore,
that
that's
that's
all
I
just.
I
Jackie
hits
right
on
the
nose,
I
mean
I
mean
we're
all
like
we've
all
been,
I
t
sharp
people
and
you
always
want
to
say
yes
and
sometimes
you
to
say
no
is
really
painful
to
say
no
and
you
don't
know
how
you
can
fix
it.
It's
even
more
painful
we're
going
to
face
that.
We
face
that.
Just
I'll
give
you
an
example
of
just
another
side.
I
One
of
the
senior
county
managers
was
really
upset
with
the
fact
that
the
board
had
said
they
had
to
get
a
board
report
out
within
72
hours
and
they
couldn't
do
it
and
they
were
upset.
Why
painting
where's
the
guy?
I
need
to
fix
this.
Where
is
he
I
said
we
let
him
go
last
week.
B
I
I
B
I
B
Well,
thank
you
all
and
we
obviously
our
our
job
is
frank
and
I'll.
Do
a
draft
send
it
out
to
you
all
and
then
we
will
be
there
and
we'll
we'll
make
sure.
I'm
pretty
sure
all
of
you
can,
because
it's
virtual
frank,
I
think
everybody
is
able
to
come
on
that
day.
B
I
think
yeah,
you
know
public
hearings,
so
we'll
make
sure
yeah
we'll
make
sure
you
get
the
get
the
link
to
that
for
march
11th.
Next
on
our
list,
we're
very
I
a
kudo
out
to
angela
who
has
pulled
together.
B
You
know
making
sure
that
our
agendas
and
our
meeting
minutes
and
all
those
things
are
done,
and
she
just
wanted
to
show
all
of
us
at
once.
So
we
can
see
where
everything
is
she
kindly
agreed
to
do
that
just
so.
If
somebody
asks
you,
as
you
know,
they
know
you're
on
the
commission.
Where
are
things
you
at
least
have
a
visual
of
where
she
you
know
where,
where
she
posts
things
and
and
we
we
want
to
get
really
have
quick
turnaround
to
do
that.
So
that's
what
we're
that's!
B
That's
our
next
doing
that
once
once
the
minutes
are
approved
and
all
those
things.
Oh!
Thank
you,
angela,
okay,.
M
Okay,
this
is
the
main
page
for
the
advisory
groups
and
commissions
for
itac.
You
see
the
website
at
the
top
here,
if
you
forget
to
put
it,
if
you
just
put
commissions.arlington
va.us
and
you
can
click
on
I-tech
and
it
will
take
you
to
this
page,
you
get
information
about
the
advisory
commission
meeting
dates.
If
anything
changes
I
can
it
changes
as
far
as
a
cancellation.
I
can
just
go
in
and
update
that
I
add
the
agenda
each
week.
I
will
add
the
minutes
after
they
are
approved
tonight
for
january.
M
The
thing
is,
I
think,
the
problem
and
well
let
me
go
on.
We
have
the
members
listed
here.
I've
added
our
county
board
liaison,
but
I
think
the
question
I
get
a
lot
is,
I
don't
see
any
past
meetings,
I
don't
see
any
details
about
upcoming
meetings,
so
that's
I
on
a
totally
different
site
and
what
I
would
like
to
do
is
add
that
site
to
this
area
and
somewhere
here
in
the
body
that
you
can
click
on
and
go
to
the
calendar
and
if
you
scroll.
E
M
You
will
see
tonight's
well,
you
should
see
it
here.
We
go
there.
We
are
this
is
this
is
for
tonight.
So,
of
course
I
don't
have
the
minutes
and
everything
in
the
video
recording,
but
this
is
just
the
basic
information
everyone.
Anyone
wants
to
go
in
and
see
any
information
about
tonight's
meeting.
But
if
you
go
back
to
the
calendar
and
say
you
want
to
see
what
happened
in
november,
is
it
moving
hold
on
okay
say
we
want
to
go?
M
M
And
if
you
go
down
here
to
the
meeting
date,
you
get
a
lot
more
information.
Of
course
you
don't
need
this
part
anymore,
but
you
have
the
agenda.
You
have
the
minutes,
the
approved
minutes.
You
have
the
recording
of
the
meeting.
You
have
all
of
the
information
that
was
shared
in
the
meeting
that's
listed
here
and
I
do
that
every
month
at
least
I
try
to.
I
had
to
go,
make
some
updates
from
previous
months
when
I
wasn't
doing
maintenance
on
this,
but
everything
should
be
up
to
date.
M
E
M
G
B
B
E
H
Hey
angela,
some
of
what
we've
been
doing
is
is
in
the
interest
of
public
engagement,
and
so
it
seems
unlikely
to
me
that
a
member
of
the
public
would
be
able
to
identify
a
calendar
date
on
which
a
certain
subject
was
taken
up
and
use
that
method
to
find
the
material
they're
looking
at,
whereas
I
think
it
would
be
much
more
natural
for
somebody
to
say
hey.
What's
going
on
with
that
idea
of
a
broadband
authority
or
what's
going
on
with
contact
tracing
or
what's
going
on
with,
you
know,
privacy.
M
That's
a
good
question,
one
that
I
have
to
do
some
investigating
on
some
research
on
how
I
would
just
add
that
I
guess
I
could
add
some
subjects,
maybe
on
a
sidebar
or
something
with
different
subjects.
M
B
All
right,
thank
you
all
right,
okay,
and
I
know
we're
running
a
little
bit
a
little
bit
late,
but
this
has
all
been
really
good.
Good
conversation.
Speaking
of
minutes,
did
any
any
changes
to
the
minutes
of
january
27th.
Any
any
revisions
comments
and
angela.
Thank
you
again
so
much
it's.
What
a
difference!
It's
really
good
to
be
able
to
go
in
and
get
all
this
information
so
really
appreciate
it.
E
B
D
D
Well,
thank
you
for
the
preview
there.
Jonathan
I
do
want
to.
I
will
go
as
quick,
but
the
current
fcc
is
all
about
broadband
and
broadband
relief.
Anyway.
D
The
fcc
is
currently
seeking
comment
on
some
petitions
that
have
been
filed
for
emergency
relief
to
allow
use
of
e-rate
funds
to
support
remote
learning
during
the
pandemic,
as
well
as
looking
to
also
use
that
towards
devices
as
well
some
home
devices,
so
that
fcc
has
set
up
a
comment
period
for
comment
on
these
emergency
petitions
that
have
been
filed,
looking
to
use
e-rate
funds
to
help
close
this
remote
learning
deficit
back
to
the
security
issue,
oldsmore
oldsmar
florida,
which
is
located
near
tampa,
their
water
treatment
plant
was
hacked,
and
somebody
tried
to
actually
increase
the
sodium
hydroxide,
which
is,
I
think,
hydrochloric
acid
was
increased
a
hundred
fold,
but
fortunately
there
was
a
staff
person
who
was
monitoring
noticed
the
noticed
that
something
was
going
to
skew
and
was
able
to
cut
it
off
before
it
actually
had
any
kind
of
effect.
D
The
house,
energy
and
commerce
committee
passed
as
part
of
the
relief
legislation,
emergency
education
connections,
which
will
allocate
seven
billion
dollars
to
the
e-rate
program
to
help
fund
wi-fi
hotspots,
modems,
routers
and
internet-enabled
devices,
including
internet
service,
through
such
equipment
to
students,
staff
and
patrons.
So
that's
part
of
the
big,
the
big
package.
That's
hopefully
moving
forward
house
republicans
have
introduced
28
bills
to
expedite
broadband
sold
out,
including
shot
clocks
for
local
approvals
to
expand
access
on
federal
lands,
streamlining
historic
and
environmental
reviews.
D
So
our
own
jonathan
adelstein,
in
his
role
as
ceo
of
the
wireless
infrastructure
association,
did
testify
on
capitol
hill.
At
a
broadband
hearing
at
the
house,
telecom
subcommittee
door,
some
of
those
policies
included
in
the
house
republican
package.
He
also
supported
the
house
majority
with
jim
clyburn's,
affordable
internet
for
all
act,
which
would
again
put
provide
some
additional
money
for
broadband
infrastructure
pack.
D
D
And
at
its
february
17th
meeting
the
fcc
received
a
presentation
on
the
emergency
broadband
benefit
program,
which
was
approved
in
the
coveted
relief
act
passed
at
the
end
of
last
year,
and
the
current
lifeline
program
carriers
may
participate
without
further
fcc
approval.
The
benefit
will
provide
a
discount
up
to
50
per
month
for
broadband
to
low-income
households.
D
Getting
a
subject
to
the
for
this
school
lunch
program
anyway,
the
there's
also
going
to
be
a
one-time
up
to
100
discount
for
laptop,
desktop
or
tablet
purchase
from
the
provider
through
that,
and
the
household
must
pay
between
10
to
50
dollars
towards
that
device.
Rules
should
be
adopted
by
the
end
of
february.
B
All
right,
I
promise
you'll
be
up
higher
in
the
agenda.
Next
time,
frank,
you
always
seem
to
have
to
bring
us
home.
Thank
you.
Next,
we
will
meet
on
march
24th,
but
you're
gonna
be
hearing.
You'll,
see
some
emails
from
us
before
then
because
of
the
march
11th
budget,
aaron
miller,
the
head
of
emergency
management
thanks
jack
for
coordinating
that,
for
us
will
be
briefing
us
on
several
things,
frank
and
suggested
a
long
list
of
of
of
things
of
updates.
B
In
addition
to
obviously
aaron
is
one
of
the
people
coordinating
the
county's
response
to
kovitt,
but
so
he
will
be
here
on
the
24th
and
he'll,
be
our
our
lead
off
batter,
as
we
say,
and
we
appreciate
him
taking
the
time
to
do
that
and
if
there's
any
pre-rids
we'll
make
sure
that
angela
gets
those
out
to
you
before
before
we
meet
on
wednesday,
the
24th
any
any
closing
any
closing
comments,
and
then
I'll
I'll
recognize
a
move
to
adjourn.
H
What
jack
talked
about
in
terms
of
process
automation,
some
of
the
other
benefits
of
that
around
administration
of
social
services
and
how
to
get
in
touch
with
people.
It
may
be
that
the
cost
incurred
to
get
that
connectivity
is
more
more
than
offset
by
the
reduction
in
the
cost
to
serve
those
citizens.
When
you
compare
it
to
the
non-digital
way,.
B
K
Just
in
terms
of
maybe
one
comment
on
that,
you
know
with
all
these
federal
programs
coming
out
jack.
I
wonder
if
you
can
save
a
little
bit
on
the
budget
by
switching
people
over
to
some
of
these
federal
assistance
plans
for
emergency
connectivity,
because
that
you
know
that
for
the
county
is
totally
free.
I
Yeah,
you
know
it's
good,
as
I
don't
know,
if
you
weren't
earlier,
I
was
listening
to
a
discussion
by
stanky
of
att,
said
he's
he'd
love
to
see
that
the
government
focused
some
of
their
programs,
their
health
programs
with
a
an
allotment
for
broadband
as
part
of
it.
It's
dedicated
like
he
was
saying
the
food
stamps
program.
I
Could
they
not
be
money
added
which
basically
says
that
you're
spending
x
you're
going
to
allocate
this
money
for
that,
in
other
words,
to
make
an
incentive,
give
them
an
incentive
to
to
get
the
services,
and
it
goes
back
to
the
whole
question
of
his
comment
was-
and
we
may
have
already
heard
this-
that
he
really
feels
the
lifeline
program
is
currently
situated
as
unsustainable.
I
K
Yeah
there
seems
to
be
a
consensus
growing
among
the
carriers
to
try
to
provide
this
assistance
to
low
income.
The
lifeline's
got
a
problem
because
it's
being
paid
for
on
long
distance,
if
you
can
believe
that
long
distance
telephone
charges,
which
is
now
30
of
the
telephone,
long
distance
bill,
is
universal
service.
So
that's
why
it's
not
sustainable,
but
there's
not
really
a
consensus
yet
where
to
where
to
sort
of
hit
that
tax
up.
K
You
know
the
carriers
like
18c,
I
saw
stanky,
he
wants
to
go
to
general
revenues,
but
that
you
know
if
the
republicans
over
might
just
disappear
because
they
don't
have
support
as
much
for
the
low
income
program.
So
it's
kind
of
there's
not
an
easy
answer
to
it.
I
don't
think,
but
certainly
you
know
these
programs
that
were
just
passed.
It
sounds
like
some
of
the
programs
that
arlington
is
wisely
taken
up
to
help.
The
low-income
kids
are
duplicative
of
some
of
these
new
federal
programs.
That
frank
outlined.
K
I
just
didn't
know
you
know
it's
hard
to
get
them
signed
up,
sometimes
even
for
free.
You
can't
get
people
to
sign
up,
but
get
them
to
switch
over
might
be
tough
too,
but
it
might
save
a
little
bit
for
the
county
to
offload
that,
under
the
federal
under
the
federal
program.
Given
the
tight
budget
situation,
just
just
a
thought
to
look
at.
I
Who,
surprisingly,
was
somewhat
aware
of
it
not
fully
aware
of
what
that
program
is,
but
that's
a
perfect
example
where,
if
you
could
you
could
take
that
money
and
divert
it
whatever
this
extent
to
subsidize
some
of
this,
I
think
it
would
be
there's
the
opportunity
there.
It's
just
knowing
you
know
how
to
get
it.
Hey
keep
us
informed.
I
know
you
and
frank
have
that
you
guys
have
got
your
e
yeah
your
ears
to
the
road
here.
So
if
you
hear
anything.
