City Council Meeting Minutes March 18, 2014 Page 15 of 20 Mayor Muckle addressed broadband benefits and asked if this would be available for the City to provide to its residents. IT Director Neves stated at this time the goal is to get the City Service Facility on board and to fulfill the City's needs. Mayor Muckle asked Mr. Abeyta what level of service would the City's residents and businesses receive. Mr. Abeyta stated they typically do not do fiber for home projects. They provide self sites, fiber to towers and back haul capacities for the towers and are connected to a nation-wide network for the World Wide Web. They do provide service to all the school districts. COUNCIL COMMENTS Council member Loo fully supported the Zayo Group proposal. Council member Stolzmann asked if there was any interest in completing the fiber loop along 96th street. IT Director Neves explained he approached the question and was told there is fiber running along the railroad track, but the Zayo Group does not have access to it. They had negotiation but at this point, they have nothing along 96th Street. Council member Stolzmann was in favor of the proposal and stated she would like to complete the fiber loop. Mr. Abeyta stated things changes regularly and a customer may request a fiber connection. IT Director Neves stated there is real value in partnership with a local business. Council member Jasiak was well aware of the Zayo Group's reputation and was grateful to have Zayo Group in Louisville and as a business partner. She thanked them for working with the City.
