MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />MARCH 9, 2016 <br />The City Administrator stated that the last goal was to look into the <br />feasibility of city-wide wireless internet. He noted that had provided some <br />information about other cities that have done this, and it hasn't been very <br />successful for other cities that have tried it. He explained that the City <br />does not have any existing infrastructure to support this, the City would <br />need to install fiber cables because it is prohibited in our franchise <br />contracts to use Comcast or Centurylink owned cables. He stated that a <br />better option would be to create hotspots at city parks and park buildings <br />instead. Keis stated based on the information received, he agrees that it is <br />not feasible now. Torkelson agreed that it is not worth considering. <br />Mcgraw stated when he was on the Ramsey County Ice Arena Task Force, <br />multiple people in every group they talked to indicated they wanted wi-f. <br />in the ice arenas. The Council agreed to look into creating hot spots, and <br />to start with Spooner Park. <br />Montour introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />RESOLUTIONNO. 2016-3-58— APPROVE THE 2016 GOALS AND <br />ACTION PLANS AS PRESENTED BY THE CITYADMINISTRATOR <br />INHIS MARCH 7, 2016 STAFF REPORT <br />The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Keis. <br />Ayes (5). <br />Nays (0).
