` - Administrator/Engineer's Report dei teryAe August 28, 2019 E,,ta-th isli E d Ic5'ii ADMINISTRATION Connect Anoka County Several years ago, Anoka County and Zayo (a fiber - optics company), partnered to bring high speed fiber optics to the county. They received a $17 M grant AnekaCoun ick from the federal government to do so. Part of the requirements of that grant were to hook all of the municipalities and other government agencies in the county together with the fiber optic ring. The city gets its internet through this system at a much lower than market cost. The network equipment that runs this system resides in each municipal building. We have equipment in our Audio/Visual closet attached to Council Chambers. Below is an informational note, from the county, about the planning process for replacement of that equipment. There is no direct cost to the city. Anoka County is hosting a technical presentation for our partners in the Connect Anoka County fiber network. This meeting will provide insights into the network equipment refresh process, and lay the foundation for a smooth transition for all our partners. A representative from Zayo, the fiber ring provider, will also be participating in the presentation. Meeting topics include: J Project Plan review J Timeline J Migration Process J Partner Expectations, including: ➢ Scheduling Site Access Site Preparation J Q & A Session Centennial Public Schools — Centerville Elementary School Plat The school district is now working with their surveyor to prepare the necessary documents to include the disputed "gap" in the survey in their plat.

We hope to have drafts for the committee to look at in the next few weeks. The next meeting has been set for September 18.
