Notes

• Node notes:

  • NodeAlhambra - Russell still has APs ready for handoff, Wilf was out of town, Russell may drop off tomorrow

  • NodeMississippi - Russell needs to check on NodeFreshpot and Commons roof/router

• Bill 2592 - bill from 2015 using PUD to support municipal networks

  • PamMarsh replied to Russell's inquiry, would need to have a need and interest in new PUDs

  • She suggested currently Investor Owned Utilities are better positioned and have the option now to do so without barriers
  • Russell suggested PUDs could be of any size (a few blocks) so offer an alternative to interested areas, will also contact his representative and senator

  • Russell has been pressing TinaKotek's campaign about taking a position on Municipal Broadband. This week got a boiler-plate response from Kevin on what they've done (broadband office), will provide access to. (Did not get a response from other campaigns.)

• Russell met with JenniferRedman (who took the job at the city), studied who cities deploy telecommunications infrastructure in graduate school. Russell suggested to talk with networks in Hillsboro/Ammon/Colorado/etc, also sent the Russell Plan.

  • also suggested city should put fiber in conduits when streets are open.
  • will meet monthly, and also may go to Municipal Broadband PDX and Personaltelco meetings.
