A
All
right
good
evening,
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
reading
of
the
minutes
from
may
23.
B
E
A
A
F
Thank
you
legal
report.
The
only
referral
I'll
give
is
just
to
recap
from
the
last
meeting
just.
D
Meeting
failed
on
a
vote
of
two
to
one
two,
four
one,
four
one
against.
I
was
mistaken
at
the.
H
No
updates
this
evening.
All
right,
then
we're
moving
on
to
new
business.
I
I'm
happy
to
start
off
in
rick
pete's,
I.t
departments.
I
I
Kind
of
orient
myself-
maybe
a
little
bit
more
more
to
you
on
this-
welcome
again
happy
to.
I
To
share
this
presentation
with
you
just
want
to
share
a
few
things
that
have
led.
I
I
Not
just
for
remote
work,
but
for
a
number
of
workers
beyond
that,
the
kobet
19
pandemic.
I
Highlighted
these
gaps
even
more
clearly
than
when
we
first
began.
I
And
it
and
its
infrastructure
throughout
throughout
the
city,
meridian
proposes
to
invest.
I
I
I
I
I
That's
that
the
infrastructure
be
community-wide
with
no
parts
of
bloomington
left
behind.
I
That
there
is
a
community,
a
benefit
that
goes
beyond
simply
the
the.
I
I
With
a
reliable
business
model
and
it
should
work
to
bridge
the
digital
divide,
to
address
the.
I
Real
digital
equity
issues
that
we've
identified
in
our
community,
so
we
have
been
we've
been
at.
I
This
for
quite
some
time,
we've
been
working
really
hard
on
this
since
the
beginning
of
2016.
I
I
I
We've
had
conversations
with
a
number
of
other
parties,
both
within
the
rfi
con
context
and
and.
I
Until
they
they
pulled
back,
they
also
merged
with
another
party,
with
a
different
perspective
on.
I
On
the
market,
we've
continued
to
engage
in
within
the
rfi
process
and
outside
with
local.
I
Conducted
a
survey
and
and
by
the
end
of
that
year
released
released
that
plan.
We
then.
I
I
But
they
had,
they
had
good
business
and
you
know
collegial
business
relationships
with.
I
A
number
of
individuals
on
the
meridian
team
and
engaged
in
a
friendly
handoff.
I
I
To
to
help
bootstrap
our
conversations
with
with
meridia,
once
we
started
talking
with
meridium.
I
We
realized
that
we
had
the
potential
for
a
really
compelling
potential
potential.
I
I
Master
agreement
with
meridium
pursuing
our
digital
equity
initiative
and
and
working
to.
I
This
point,
which
is
the
announcement,
the
announcement
of
the
meridian
project.
I
That's
very
important
to
us:
meridium
is
not
an
isp,
they
will.
They
will
partner.
I
I
I
I
Its
projects
within
within
indiana,
we
expect
full
community
coverage
of
85
percent
and
greater.
I
In
general,
we
expect
that
to
be
be
higher
for
that,
but
that
is
the
commitment
that
we.
I
They
will
be
entering
into
our
marketplace.
You
know
with.
I
And
beyond
that,
we're
proposing
in
this
initiative
that
there
be
no.
I
No
connection
fees
to
start
up
the
service.
I
And
energy
for
quite
some
time,
joanne
hovis
has
has
been
you
know,
a
singular
consulting.
I
I
Moves
forward
it
will
be
among
the
best
digital
equity
programs
in
the
in
the
country.
I
Guarantee
that
the
that
the
isp
will
adhere
to
network
neutrality,
which
means
that.
I
They
will
not
throttle
or
control
and
discriminate,
and
con
on
on
the.
I
Basis
of
content
that
moves
over
the
network
either
you
know
from
a
commercial
standpoint.
I
I
Columbus
shelbysville
and
martin
martinsville,
those
are
smaller
communities
than
than
we
are,
but.
I
Million
dollars
minus
the
administrative
fees
that
the
that
the
city
will
capture.
I
I
I
Of
the
of
the
of
the
path
which
is,
you
know,
subject
to
change
as
the
design
proceeds.
I
I
I
I
First
in
world
world
class,
you
know
internet
option,
you
know
for
for
zero
cost,
allow
it.
I
Partnership,
that's
very
heavy
on
the
the
private
more
so
than
the
the
public
and
to
extend.
I
Fiber
to
blue
bloomington
bloomington
housing
authority,
among
other
recommendations.
I
So
this
proposal
establishes
a
community
gigabit
fiber
to
the
premise.
I
There's
no
in
in
tax
increase
using
the
tiff
with
negligible
impact
on
other
taxing
units.
I
J
J
I
I
There
there
are
a
lot
of
utilities
buried
in
our
in
our
downtown,
but
there's
also
there.
I
J
E
E
A
A
Sure
so
financial
sustainability
is
one
of
the.
K
For
the
past
year
plus
and
the
way
meridians
structured,
this
there's
a
couple.
K
Element
of
building
the
network,
that
is
the
significant
driver,
so
we've
been
working.
K
With
our
construction
partners
throughout
and
we
have
fixed
prices
from
them,
so
we
have.
K
We've
also
been
working
with
both
internal
resources
and
outside
consultants
to
develop.
K
A
forecast
of
user
subscribers
and
how
they
ramp
up
over
time.
So
with
that,
we've
taken
that
to.
K
K
K
You
know
maybe
have
longer
payback
periods
than
than
others
would
look
at,
but
that's
what
fits.
K
K
Prognostications
are
completely
wrong.
That's
a
risk
that
is
ultimately
borne
by
meridian
when.
K
There's
no
risk
to
the
city,
so,
ultimately
the
network
will
always
stay
in
place
and
I
think
we.
K
K
A
K
K
H
It's
not
a
coverage
ratio,
as
we
take
a
look
at
it.
It's
our
commitment
to
the
market.
H
H
H
We
do
not
see
a
risk,
the
overall
costs
or
duration
of
the
project.
A
Can
you
speak
to
other,
like
collaborations
that
you
guys
have
successfully.
K
H
K
Africa
and
north
america,
so
north
america,
first
one
in
in
the
suburbs
of
edmonton
on.
K
Exactly
the
same
structure
and
it's
currently
breaking
ground
right
now,
we've
also
done.
K
Refurbishment
of
the
university
iowa's
campus
energy
system,
a
litany
of
train
projects.
A
Can
you
speak
to
in
the
presentation
we
talked
about
competitive
market
rates.
A
You
tell
me
how
long
meridium
has
been
in
business.
K
Sure
we
were
founded
in
2005.
B
I'm
deb
and
I
have
a
couple
of
questions.
One
is
as
I
look
at
this
revamped
map,
which
I
really.
B
Appreciate
being
able
to
see
the
aerial
as
well
as
well
as
the
underground
investment
and.
B
B
Your
in
reading
the
proposal
that
it's
possible
that
some
areas
will
be
too
expensive
from
your.
H
Those
identified,
but
we
can
certainly
take
a
look
at
how
those
that
how
that
type
of
network.
B
I
And
some
of
that,
some
of
that
is,
is
not
they're
simply
not
able
to
afford
afford
broadband.
I
I
That's
adequate
for
our
for
our
community,
but
they're.
You
know
we
have.
I
At
one
point
in
time,
when
the
city
could
could
mandate
full
coverage
through
its
negotiation
of.
I
I
Program
that
you
know
that
we
are
or
a
commitment
to
to
network
neutrality.
H
K
I
So
to
address
another
aspect
of
your
question
right
now,
what
we
are
discussing
is.
I
You
know
a
provision
that
would
indicate
that
there
won't
be
a
transfer.
You
know
within
10
years.
I
And
and
scott
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
on
that,
but
that's
that's
what
we've
been.
I
Discussing
and
then
you
know,
an
element
of
review
by
the
city
in
the
event
of
there.
I
Were
there
were
a
transfer-
and
I
see
beth
is
here,
and
maybe
she
wants
to
chime
in.
I
With
the
the
language
in
front
of
her
thanks
very
much
rick
fca
corporation
counsel
for
the.
L
City
rick
is
right.
What
we
are
discussing
with
meridian
now
is
that
there
would
be
no
transfer.
K
A
fair
question:
how
iridium
and
all
of
assets
are
structured
globally,
they're
all.
K
Independent
vehicles
from
one
another,
so
meridian
itself
functionally
can't
go
bankrupt.
E
Have
internet
provided
to
our
low-income
residents
with
fiber
or
not
at
bha?
They
have
residents.
E
Of
climate
change
yeah,
so
the
one
one
thing
that
we
have
talked
about
kind
of
gets.
I
To
that
20
percent,
you
know
we'll
be
working,
you
know,
within
the
city
and
with
partners
to.
D
There's
a
project
agreement
set
up
to
reinvest
some
funds
and
that's
what
you're
pledging
here
by.
D
E
M
M
And
so
we
so
we
offer
zero
dollar
cost
today
and
this
program,
our
it's
called.
M
Internet
essentials
is
what
we
call
it,
and
we've
been
selling
this
service.
M
F
Please
hi
tom
hayes
of
the
indiana
cable
over
auburn
association.
Just
very
briefly
when
we.
F
Saw
this
come
down
the
pipe
it's
concerning
for
a
lot
of
reasons,
one
as
matt
indicated,
we.
F
Have
a
very
large
footprint
in
the
city
of
lovington
98.99
service,
all
gig
plus.
F
For
the
first
time
here,
it's
we're
fulfilling
a
lot
of
the
objectives
that
the
city
wants
to.
F
F
F
B
F
Providers
so
the
biggest
footprint
we
have
in
city
limits,
comcast
thanks
you're
welcome.
M
M
F
F
F
F
F
F
N
Meet
the
projected
payback
schedule
they
still
just
are
limited
to
getting
back
when.
J
I
With
regard
to
comcast,
as
I
mentioned,
you
know
earlier,
they
they
are
our
incumbent.
I
You
know
a
gigabit,
you
know,
but
in
their
their
language,
it's
almost
always
up
to.
I
You
know
up
to
the
you
know
the
bandwidth
promises
that
that
we
had
hoped
for
certainly.
I
During
the
pandemic,
that's
not
to
say
you
know
they,
they
don't
have
a
valuable
product
or
it's.
I
Or
you
know
they
haven't,
you
know
contributed.
You
know
in
many
ways
to
you
know
to
the
community.
I
But
what
we're
talking
about
is
something
something
different
and
that's
you
know.
I
Elements
that
aren't
present
in
the
offering
of
the
incumbent
providers.
I
And
then
more
to
you
know,
I
think
one
of
you
know
one
other
element.
You
know
there's.
E
D
Just
to
be
really
clear,
so
this
is
this
part-
is
the
declaratory
resolution
to
establish.
D
D
D
D
D
D
D
As
a
public
hearing,
you
would
receive
that
comment
and
then
you
could
pass
the.
D
D
D
D
D
D
Public
public
engagements
public
boards
and
and
pumped
here,
okay
last
question
being.
E
D
Speak
for
themselves,
one
of
them's,
my
boss.
I
don't
really
want
to
speak
for
it.
D
F
D
E
A
J
Had
noted
that
the
actual,
I
guess
we're
calling
it
it's
not
the
rebate,
but.
J
J
G
Typically,
those
funds
are
established
by
the
administration
and
unless
they're
a
statute.
A
B
Well,
since
I
made
the
original
motion,
I
will
I
move
a
deb
hutton.
I
move
to.
A
All
right,
the
next
order
of
business
is
any
general
discussion.
J
J
J
D
D
To
discuss
with,
and
just
to
be
very
clear
in
this
instance,
what
I
did
and
where,
where.
D
D
D
So
as
general
process,
you
know,
obviously
we
try
to
know
those
rules
as
best
we
can.
