Lanark council approves MOU with SURF Air Wireless to bring fiber service
Summary
The Lanark City Council voted 5–0 to lift a permit hold and sign a memorandum of understanding with SURF Air Wireless LLC to deliver fiber service to the community, including the cemetery office, a promotional 'price lock for life' for early sign-ups, and free service for eligible city facilities; construction is expected later this year.
The Lanark City Council voted 5–0 on July 7 to lift a hold on SURF Air Wireless LLC permits and sign a memorandum of understanding that the company revised to meet the city’s requested terms. Mayor Jeri Rogan said SURF’s leadership addressed the city’s concerns during negotiations; the memorandum includes service to the cemetery office, complimentary service to eligible city facilities, and an introductory offer described in the record as a "price lock for life" for residents who sign up during SURF’s introductory period.
The motion to proceed was made by Alderperson Mark Macomber and seconded by Alderperson Justin Rausch. Council minutes record SURF’s anticipated construction timeline as approximately two months beginning later this year. The action will allow the city to resume permit processing for SURF projects; the council did not set a specific construction start date during the meeting.
