Title
Consider A Resolution Authorizing The City Manager To Enter Into An Agreement With Carrollton Farmers Branch Independent School District (CFBISD) For Installing Fiber Optics On City Property.
Body
BACKGROUND:
This is a proposed License Agreement between the City of Carrollton (City) and CFBISD for installing and maintaining fiber optics cable and related equipment on city property. CFBISD plans to run fiber optics to Creekview High School. The proposed route would include running cable through Timber Creek Park.
To accommodate this request CFBISD needs a license agreement. This is a secondary route for the school district to provide added security. This would include running the line under a pedestrian bridge at the park location.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no costs to the City for the construction or maintenance of this cable and CFBISD would pay a small amount for access, using the same formula the city paid for trail access behind Creekview High School.
IMPACT ON COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY:
This project will support the City Council’s strategic objectives and vision of building a community that families and businesses want to call home by:
• Improving access to CFBISD schools in the city.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
Staff recommends approval of a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a License Agreement with CFBISD for fiber optics installation.
