SUMMARY
The City Council adopted a Fiber Master Plan in July 2017. This plan directs the City to adopt a dig once policy. Dig once policies generally require the coordination of excavation projects between a municipality and a telecommunication or utility provider and mandate the installation of City owned telecommunication infrastructure such as conduit and fiber for broadband internet. This item provides a proposed Dig Once Ordinance (Attachment II) and Dig Once Policy (Attachment III) for consideration by the CTAC in accordance with the City’s Fiber Master Plan.
