ADMINISTRATION - Clark Arneson, City Manager
Title
APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE CONNECTIVITY SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH COMMUNITY ANCHOR INSTITUTION(S) FOR BROADBAND SERVICES AT CO-LOCATION SERVICE SITE(S)
Background
As you may recall, the City of Blaine executed an Agreement with the County of Anoka to participate in the ConnectAnokaCounty Network. The term of this Agreement expires on August 16, 2015 with three 5 year renewal terms upon written notice from both parties. The written notice needs to be made no less than 180 days prior to termination (February 17, 2015). The Agreement does not specify the form of the notification, but the County prefers a letter of intent followed by a formal amendment.
The County does desire to renew the terms of the CSA with the City of Blaine. In anticipation of renewal, the County has drafted a contract Amendment to be executed if the City concurs with renewing the Agreement. The draft Amendment is attached.
Current service levels will continue unless the City amends Addendum A to the Agreement. Addendum A may be amended at any time without amending the Agreement otherwise.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Amendment to the Connectivity Services Agreement with Community Anchor Institution(s) for broadband services at co-location service site(s).
