City Council Meeting Minutes April 15, 2014 Page 7 of 15 and fiber in City conduit in exchange for Zayo installing additional City conduit and fiber on Dillon Road between S. 88th and S. 104th Streets. The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the agreement. The main part of the agreement is the exchange for allowing Zayo Group to over -pull micro - conduit within existing City conduit. The City would realize an estimated savings of approximately $200,000, the cost estimated for the City's contractor to install fiber and conduit from 88th Street to South 104th Street on Dillon Road. Staff estimates the one -time value of the license and exchange to be approximately $190,000. COUNCIL QUESTIONS Council member Keany inquired whether this co- mingling of lines would limit the City's ability for future expansion. IT Director Neves explained one of the risks would be the City could reach capacity of conduit, but currently 50% of the fiber is dark fiber (not lit up). He felt there was plenty of capacity for future growth. Council member Keany asked if IT Manager Neves foresees an issue with limited capacity in the future. IT Manager Neves estimated the City has fiber capacity for the next ten years. At that point, it could be in the City's best interest to consider another public /private partnership. Council member Lipton asked what the City's rights are under the agreement if Zayo changes ownership and is there a potential exit strategy. IT Manager Neves explained the City has the right to ask for an improvement at any time. The City could also ask Zayo to abandon the conduit and the City could take it over as City property. The City could actually request Zayo remove everything out of the conduit. Council member Keany felt this was a very good use of a public /private partnership and benefits the City and the business community in Louisville. MOTION: Council member Keany moved to approve Resolution No. 22, Series 2014, seconded by Council member Stolzmann. Roll call vote was taken. The motion carried by a vote of 6 -0.
