Minutes: Chip Cushman moved to approve minutes of the October Board
meeting, seconded by David Heiberg. The motion passed unanimously.
2006 Work Plan: Board members reviewed a draft 2006 work plan. Many of the
items from 2005 still apply. In addition, the Board added items intended to
increase community outreach by using multiple methods to distribute information
about telecommunications services. The Board agreed that local high school
and university students were an untapped resource that could be used to
research or study the use of telecommunications services in Fort Collins.
The Board also wants to continue to invite telecommunication providers and
other entities to present information to the Board. Curt asked Liz to arrange for
someone from the LETA Board (Larimer Emergency Telephone Authority) to,
meet with the Board early in 2006.
Other Business: Curt asked if there was any progress in Cable Franchise
renewal negotiations. Liz reported that an agreement is very near, but that the
City chose to extend the current franchise until March 17th to give the negotiating
team time to update documents to include recent agreement, and resolve any
remaining minor issues.
