Since a quorum of the board was not present, the minutes of the June meeting
were not reviewed or approved.
2. Public Input:
Citizen David Braun asked a number of questions regarding cable and telephone
under grounding in Fort Collins and the City's ability to require Qwest and
Comcast to underground their wires. After the meeting staff met with Mr. Braun
and subsequently followed up with him to address his concerns.
Kraig Bader of the Fort Collins Utility Services gave a presentation on the
direction the Fort Collins Light and Power Utility is going with implementing
"smart grid" control systems that can allow the City to more effectively manage
electrical peak power consumption as well as provide more effective load
balancing on the City's power distribution system. The board had an engaged
discussion around how telecommunications systems will be an integral
component of those control systems.
