Council conditionally approves Ideatek Telcom easement for broadband equipment
Summary
Ideatek Telcom LLC was granted council approval to place a control pad and generator on a city easement near Tyler Graff Park, contingent on the company receiving grant support to extend broadband; council asked for a fenced enclosure for public safety.
A Kansas-based broadband provider, Ideatek Telcom LLC, requested permission to place a control pad and generator on a city easement northwest of Tyler Graff Park (East J Street). Councilors reviewed example photos and discussed placement and public safety measures. The council approved the request on the condition that a fence be installed around the equipment and that the placement proceed only if Ideatek secures grant funding to bring broadband to rural communities.
The motion to approve included the fence requirement and specified the action is contingent on Ideatek receiving grant support. Councilor Aron White moved approval and Councilor Kelma Burch seconded; the motion carried unanimously. Clerk Jeannine Hassell noted the project would proceed only if the provider obtains the necessary grant funding.
