IV. Discussion Items:
A. PUD Fiber Optic Discussion
Fred Mitchell, Assistant General Manager for the Clallam County PUD, briefed the committee on the
District's policies which included the fiber system backbone plan, interconnections, and the 40 inch rule
regarding pole attachments. There was a brief discussion with concerns expressed pertaining to
cooperation between the City and the District and possible problems with a single service provider to 1-
Net customers.
No action taken. Information only.
B. Capacity Provisioning Institutional Network Services Agreement
Northland Cable Wide Area Network Use Agreement
Capacity Provisioning Master Permit
PUD Right-Of-Way And Connections Permit Amendment
(Note: Although these subjects were originally listed as separate items each one is contingent
upon the other therefore they have been addresses as a single unit).
Larry Dunbar, Power Resources Manager, gave a general outline of the background with reference to the
fast-track concepts and approach. A general summary was given on the various agreements,
amendment, and Master Permit. It was noted that the PUD Right-Of-Way Permit Amendment was no
longer necessary because the District would provide an interconnection outside of the City limits.
Recommendations included approval of the I-Net Services Agreement, WAN Agreement, Cable
Television Franchise Amendment and Master Permit. A discussion followed on the possibility of
further information to be gathered before the decision making process.
Councilman Campbell motioned to table the recommendation for two weeks to allow the
exploration of opportunities between the City, Clallam County PUD, Capacity Provisioning,
Northland, and others to review what changes regarding the seamless network issue may be
required, resolving the single poin t of interconnection issue, and what would be the impact of
direct service by the PUD on the proposal.
Dean Reed seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
The PUD was requested to submit a concrete written proposal which would include items which
had not been addressed and tasks left to do. It was noted that there were 10 working days left
before the next meeting to investigate any findings.
v.
