Silo Fiber pitches Dakota service; board asks clerk to survey resident interest
Summary
Silo Fiber Internet presented plans to extend fiber to Dakota, saying there would be no village cost or franchise fees; the board asked the clerk to distribute an online interest survey before any commitment.
Silo Fiber Internet representatives presented preliminary plans to bring fiber broadband service to Dakota and told the Village Board there would be no cost to the village to bring service into town and no franchise fees would be assessed.
"No village cost to get the service to the Village of Dakota," the presentation noted, and the board asked Clerk Jessica Wenger to circulate an online survey to gauge resident interest. The company indicated it may pursue service to Indian Drive and offers telephone service as part of its package. The transcript does not identify the individual Silo representative by name.
Board members made no commitments and Silo said it would not move forward until resident interest is confirmed. Mayor Alisha Lizer and trustees said they wanted to collect resident responses through the clerk's survey before considering any future steps or agreements with the company.
