Griffiths: <br /> <br />The draft resolution under the <br />Intergovernmental Agreement, if you <br />ask for a public meeting, is you <br />should try to identify the <br />modifications that you want in their <br />proposed budget. If you have <br />identified those, you identify those <br />in the Resolution. If you haven't <br />identified any, it seems to me that <br />some general wording about they <br />should consider modifications <br />necessary to prevent increases and <br />the current monthly telephone <br />surcharge included. <br /> <br />Howard stated that that was so added. <br />that. Ail in favor. <br /> <br />Seconder, Mayer, accepted <br /> <br />APPROVAL OF LICENSING AGREEMENT - TCI <br /> <br />Mayer requested that this be pulled from the Consent Agenda because <br />he wanted Council to consider whether the value received from this <br />agreement, which essentially allows someone to use the city's land <br />for approximately two miles, with both the use of the land and the <br />potentiality for problems. He stated that even if the city was <br />reimbursed, it could still cause the city problems. He wondered <br />why this was in the city's interest, when for $500.00/year the city <br />would be opening up two miles of land for which there was no <br />benefit to the City of Louisville. <br /> <br />Dan Blankenship, City Engineer, stated that TCI's intent is to <br />connect their Boulder to Denver offices, with potential customers <br />in the Louisville area, such as CableLabs. TCI has offered to put <br />in a conduit, which would become city's property, for the city in <br />their trench, which could be used by the city for interconnecting <br />the city's traffic signals along the McCaslin corridor, being of <br />benefit of the City. That was spelled out in Item 10 in Exhibit B. <br /> <br />Doug Adams, Plan Engineer, TCI of Colorado, stated the fiber optic <br />cable that they're asking to place through Louisville is a direct <br />interconnect to from their facility in Boulder to their facility in <br />the Metroplex of Denver. He stated that, because CableLabs has <br />come to Louisville, they're actively participating in some <br />experiments and tests with them. They will dedicate several fibers <br />to CableLabs going back into Boulder, so they can work through both <br />of the facilities here. He explained that the estimated cost to <br />TCI to provide the conduit to the city is in excess of $20,000.00. <br /> <br />Mayer wondered what the going rate for accessing land for cable per <br />mile or foot and will the city be getting reasonable value for <br />that. <br /> <br />35 <br /> <br /> <br />
