City staff updated the commission on the Golden Shores grounding project and related broadband work, saying most properties are complete but dozens remain that require homeowner permits.

Staff reported that as of the most recent count the project has 105 homes completed and 15 vacant lots considered complete; 46 properties still lack permits and the remainder are in process. Staff said crews cannot remove overhead lines until each remaining home is connected and that the city has conducted door visits, posted notices and mailed notices to try to reach noncompliant properties.

On broadband, staff said AT&T is performing fiber upgrades as a separate business project that is not part of the like‑for‑like cabling being replaced under the grounding work. "The fiber is an upgrade...part of their business plan to upgrade included this area for a future project, which I believe is in 2026," staff said. The transcript record indicates Breezeline is not installing fiber as part of the current work.

Staff told commissioners there have been no project cost increases to date linked to schedule delays caused by noncompliant property owners, noting product purchases are already complete, but staff acknowledged that prolonged delays could raise costs if work pauses extend significantly.

Next steps: staff said the city will continue targeted outreach with code enforcement to secure permits from remaining homeowners and will cross that bridge if uncooperative owners prevent line removal; no formal vote or enforcement outcome was recorded at the workshop.
