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 Dig Once Ordinance (Attachment II) and Dig Once Policy (Attachment III) for adoption by the Council, in accordance with the City’s Fiber Master Plan. This item also includes a Resolution amending the Master Fee Schedule for related program fees.
