Utilities Advisory Commission heard two major staff briefings: a midyear update on the city's fiber expansion (FTTP) and a midyear update on electric grid modernization. Commissioners and multiple public commenters pressed staff for clearer KPIs, business plans and costs; staff said the FTTP pilot aims to take subscribers in March 2026 and that grid modernization will be phased to match electrification.
