ETS provided a project update to the Board, reporting that the broadband project is 85% complete, phase four is finished, 940 locations are connected and more than 13 miles of infrastructure have been constructed.
The presenter said the State has approved funds to be released for the next phase of construction. Commissioners discussed the Wendell tower site; a mediator has been chosen and alternate sites and plans were considered. No final site decision or timetable beyond the funding approval was recorded in the transcript excerpt.
Shelly Bates noted earlier that some ETS invoices do not clearly specify which fund (broadband vs. computer maintenance) they should be charged to; Commissioner Eames asked Bates to send a list of unresolved ETS issues to ETS so they can clarify invoicing.
