On a related note, City Staff is also working in cooperation with a number of regional governments to prepare comprehensive Fiber and Technology Master Plans that will identify not only the City of Roseville's long -term needs, but the needs of many interdependent agencies that serve the northeast metro area. Because of the complexity of working with varying agencies it is anticipated that these Plans will be finalized no sooner than December 2009. A working draft of the Plans is attached. Although these Plans are far from complete, it is recognized that the proposed fiber segment detailed above would serve an identifiable need for both the City and the Roseville School District, and will undoubtedly serve as a major backbone to a larger fiber network in the future. POLICY OBJECTIVE Multi jurisdictional agreements and projects are consistent with the goals and strategies identified in the Imagine Roseville 2025 process. The Joint construction of a fiber optic network will serve a larger number of constituents and achieve greater economies of scale than if the City would to construct one separately. FINANCIAL IMPACTS The estimated cost for the initial fiber segment detailed above for the City of Roseville would be $75,000. Monies for the project were included in the City's 2008 Equipment Fund Budget. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Council authorize Staff to solicit bids for the 2008 Joint Fiber Outlay project with the Roseville School District. REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION Motion to authorize Staff to solicit bids for the 2008 Joint Fiber Outlay project with the Roseville School District as outlined in this Staff Report.
