He recalled the Council had requested that, as the fiber optic cable was being laid, key locations such as schools and libraries along the route would be connected to it. Vice Mayor Glaze asked for what other purposes the fiber optic cable will be utilized besides traffic flow. Mr. Udemezue stated as part of the fiber optic master plan, connection boxes will be provided to allow schools to connect to the system as funds become available, and the uses will extend beyond traffic flow. Mr. Udemezue noted the City is creating the infrastructure, but the school district needs to develop a plan to utilize it. Vice Mayor Glaze commented that it appears the school district has a plan for connecting with the library. Mr. Udemezue indicated staff will contact the school district to determine what needs to be done to connect them. Library Services Director Dave Bohne described the wireless connections which will be available on 20 cOlnputers at the Manor Branch Library. Mr. Bohne noted Arroyo High School is connected to the City's system, but there is currently no plan to connect the elen1entary schools. Vice Mayor Glaze indicated there would be a benefit to connecting all the schools via fiber optic cable, but there is a cost associated with it. Mr. J ermanis suggested the cost for providing the connections could be determined and discussed with the School Liaison Committees. Councilmember Badger agreed the issue should be taken to the School Liaison Committees, and the City should take advantage of the opportunity to provide a connection box to schools and other key locations if it is reasonable to do so.
