The City of Fremont Utility and Infrastructure Board on March 31, 2026, voted 5-0 to recommend that the City Council authorize construction purchase orders and a 60-month lease with Great Plains Communications to provide fiber optic connections to the new Police Department and Fleet Maintenance buildings.
Chris Gunderson, Director of Information Systems, gave an overview of the proposal and answered questions about the installation and terms. The board recorded one-time construction/connection fees of $33,000 and lease payments totaling $60,000 over the contract term (listed in the packet as $500 per month per property for 60 months).
Member Fryklind moved the recommendation and Member Bolton seconded. The motion carried unanimously, and the board forwarded the recommendation to the City Council for final approval. Next steps: staff will prepare construction purchase orders and the city will present the lease for the Mayor’s signature if the Council approves the recommendation.
