just barely can everyone hear me barely a little louder okay I'll talk a little louder um thank you Mr mayor members of the city council um thank you for allowing me to participate remotely tonight i will be
participating in a conference for the community broadband action network and the Iowa association of municipal utilities uh where we were asked to participate and uh be a part of a panel to discuss our uh project um so again I
just appreciate the the flexibility uh allowing me to be remote this evening in your packet tonight is a amendment number one to the uh fiber network phase one project that was previously approved by the city council
last fall what this is is through the design phase um of the project it was discovered that there are several areas located in phase one and really throughout the entire city uh that need right-of-way cleanup uh so this is what
this is uh this amendment is tonight is to uh correct and write of establish right-of-way plats and easement exhibits uh through approximately 76 parcels in uh located in the phase one project
again this is to create uh utility easements not only for this is for fiber but this would also be utility easements going into the future whether we do a the city council continues to approve a fiber project or uh 16th Street for
example is uh one of the areas that we'll be looking at um for a street construction project next year so uh this type of work needs to be done in staff's opinion uh regardless to not only just to essentially clean up our
right of way um if there are any specific questions I'd be happy to answer them Mr mayor any questions yeah thank you um just a a question on the 16th Street
where we're planning to do a street project these easements would need to be done for that project anyway if I understand correctly can this money be allocated to that street project as part of that cost
or is this only being done um as part of the fiber project thank you Council Member Nelson um as it's proposed this evening it would be a part of the fiber project um however staff can evaluate and look at
u putting it a part of a construction project but we would like to start work on it uh soon as we could but I think that's something that we can review as staff where the ultimately where the funds get allocated whether it's with the street project or uh if it's a part
of the fiber project okay i think there were a couple different locations that we talked about when we did our tour that meets those same requirements so thank you for checking that out any other questions i need a
motion to approve the amendment number one surveying services so move second motion and second discussion no discussion roll call council member
