Fiber‑optic digging to start next week; engineers ask residents to mark buried lines
Summary
Heberly Engineering says fiber‑optic construction will begin next week with a goal to finish by mid‑July; residents were asked to flag buried sprinklers and pet fences to avoid damage.
Travis Velk, representing Heberly Engineering and Golden West, told the council that digging for a fiber‑optic installation is scheduled to begin next week and that the project team aims to finish by mid‑July. He asked residents to point out known buried infrastructure—sprinkler systems or buried dog fences—to help crews avoid damage.
Velk described the schedule and the city’s role in assisting identification of buried items but did not request a city funding commitment at the April 7 meeting. No permit or contract vote was recorded in the minutes related to this item.
Council members did not record objections at the meeting; questions about detailed routing, traffic impacts, or utility coordination were not recorded and may be handled by staff and the project engineer in follow‑up work.
