From the meeting
At its October 22, 2026 meeting, the board discussed a policy to set best management practices for fiber optic utilities in the city's right of way. The draft policy says providers must attend a pre-construction meeting, provide resident notice, and submit CCTV footage before permit closeout. This is not a procurement yet, but it is a control framework that can shape future fiber buildouts and maintenance work across the city.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
