Council tables Alliant request to lease unused dark fiber in city right-of-way
Summary
Alliant Energy asked the council to approve Resolution 2024-12-01 permitting Interstate Power and Light Company to lease or sell unused dark fiber in Melbourne's right-of-way; the council tabled the request to the January meeting for more information.
Mike Wagner of Alliant Energy presented Resolution 2024-12-01 seeking permission to lease, assign or sell currently unused dark fiber that Alliant had installed under the existing franchise agreement in the city's right of way. Council members discussed the request but said they did not have sufficient information to act.
The council voted to table the resolution to the January meeting and asked staff to provide additional background and details before taking up the matter again. No vote on the substance of the lease or any purchaser/lessee was taken at the Dec. 10 meeting.
