City of San Leandro Meeting Date: June 21, 2022 Staff Report Agenda Section:File Number:22-378 CONSENT CALENDAR Agenda Number:9.p. TO:City Council FROM:Fran Robustelli City Manager BY:Brian Simons Library Services Director FINANCE REVIEW:Susan Hsieh Finance Director TITLE:Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to approve Letters of Agency and an Agreement Between the City of San Leandro, Columbia Telecommunications Corporation (CTC), and the Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California (CENIC) for the Provision, Installation, and Maintenance of 1Gbps Broadband Data Connections for Each of the Four San Leandro Public Library Facilities, with a Total Annual Cost of $2,160 for Five Years, Through the California Library Connect Program, Made Possible by Subsidized Grant Funding Through the Federal E-Rate Grant and California State Broadband Fund. COUNCIL PRIORITY ·Infrastructure ·Sustainability & Resiliency ·Fiscal Sustainability and Transparency ·Community Engagement and Outreach ·Race and Equity Initiatives SUMMARY The CENIC broadband network was established in 1997 to operate the California Research and Education Network (CalREN), a high-capacity computer network with more than 8,000 miles of optical fiber that serves over 20 million users across California, including the vast majority of the K-20 students, educators, researchers, and individuals at other vital public-serving institutions, including California public libraries. The policy that required a non-resident fee card for use of the San Leandro Public Library precluded San Leandro from utilizing this inexpensive solution for broadband access for its public libraries. Since the City Council eliminated that fee card in 2021, San Leandro can take advantage of this low-cost opportunity. Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 6/15/2022
