A copy of the executive summary of the report is attached. <br />15 <br />l C� The report was initiated to identify the feasibility of constructing a private fiber optic network <br />t�� amongst NSCC member cities that could serve as either; 1) a replacement of the Comcast-owned <br />1� fiber network, or 2) a redundant fiber optic network. <br />I'� <br />:'.C.� The current Comcast-owned fiber network is provided to the City of Roseville, and other NSCC <br />? 1 cities, by virtue of our cable franchise agreement. Under the terms of the Agreement, the City of <br />?� Roseville can use the I-Net for any institutional use (i.c;. to provide connectivity between city <br />=� facilities). Conceivably, when the cable franchise is renewed in 2013 or if local cable <br />=�I franchising goes away altogether due to federal or state actions, the City of Roseville could lose <br />� 5 access to this fiber network This uncertainty led to the creation of this Report. <br />�� <br />�� City Staff have evaluated the CTC Report. Based on the conclusions in the report and in <br />�� consideration of the City's long-term connectivity and business needs, Staff submits the <br />2� following position statements. <br />3� <br />� 1 Position Statement �#1 — The CTC Report has value in that it assessed a potential alternative <br />�3 � to the Conzcast provided institutional rxeiwork. However, additional study and discussion is <br />;�� necessary to conclude whether this alternative is viable or even a preferred option to meet the <br />�� needs of tlxe City of Roseville. <br />�� <br />�� <br />� ;� <br />'� $ <br />�� <br />�� <br />The CTC Report identified one potential alternative to the Comcast-provided institutional <br />network While the Report identified the facilities that are currently connected'to the I-Net and <br />provided a general assessment of the current needs of those facilities; it is not indicative of <br />Roseville's long-term fiber infrastructure needs. <br />
