are working on bringing vendors to look at the Audio and Video. VonAsten noted that a
“travelling Video Camera” should be part of this for the meeting rooms where committees meet.
Discussion regarding overall costs.

b. Update on Towers
i. Phil updated the committee on what all has been done to date with narrowbanding. It will take the remainder of the month of August to complete all the processes and them it will be time to start monitor and addressing any issues that we can at this time. The surrounding Counties that have narrowbanded have noticed some range reduction so we are expecting similar issues.

c. Update on Fiber
i. EDA Grant: Tim handed out the update from our Engineer, the construction project is 80% complete; 7 of the spurs are finished and 4 are in the process of being done. Fiber pulling will begin at/near the end of the construction phase. Discussion about how we are marketing our fiber and whether or not we can provide services versus just the dark fiber lease.
