AN ORDINANCE TO CONSIDER AUTHORIZING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND CENTURYLINK AND AN AGREMENT WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT OF CLAYTON RELATED TO FIBER OPTIC CONNECTIONS
City Manager Owens reported that the City has had an agreement in place with CenturyLink (previously CenturyTel) for twenty years, with a ten-year renewal last having occurred in 2006, to provide fiber optic connections between City buildings and facilities at no annual cost. In exchange for these connection lines the City provided CenturyLink a license to use the City rights-of-way at no annual cost. In addition, the City had a verbal agreement with the School District of Clayton for their facilities to participate in this arrangement, therefore the school district also has received their fiber optic connections between facilities using the fiber provided through the City’s agreement with CenturyLink at no cost.
