00:10:23,760 so i'm from the black mesa area near the peabody coal mine 122 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:29,680 police area so 123 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:35,360 thank you city officials mayor vice mayor and all the 124 00:10:33,839 --> 00:10:38,320 board members for 125 00:10:36,399 --> 00:10:43,360 listening to rochelle to give details on the 126 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:49,440 broadband thank you thank you welcome 127 00:10:46,560 --> 00:10:53,680 so um mayor the request tonight is for a letter of support for navajo county's 128 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:58,240 application for the arizona commerce authority's 129 00:10:55,040 --> 00:11:02,720 rural broadband grant so in 2020 navajo county hired magellan consultants to 130 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:08,399 help us develop a broadband master plan to really figure out how do we get 131 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:11,040 reliable affordable broadband to navajo county because i think all of us are 132 00:11:09,839 --> 00:11:16,800 aware what we have doesn't work well when it 133 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:20,399 works so um based on that plan what what was determined was that we have no 134 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:24,320 redundancy within navajo county so when one part of the the system goes out we 135 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:28,000 all go out um and so 136 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:33,680 what we are proposing to do is to apply to the commerce authority to implement a 137 00:11:30,959 --> 00:11:37,360 redundant loop that would take broadband middle model 138 00:11:34,959 --> 00:11:42,560 fiber from holbrook all the way south on 77 through show low 139 00:11:40,079 --> 00:11:47,600 down to pine top lakeside out to huber overguard and then implement a wireless 140 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:51,040 network from hebrew overguard over chevron canyon out 141 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:54,000 to winslow so the intent would be that this would 142 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:58,560 be the county-owned middle mile network 143 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:03,360 that then third-party internet service providers could come into our 144 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:07,360 communities and lease that fiber to provide last-mile internet services out 145 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:12,800 to businesses and residences throughout navajo county 146 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:17,440 we feel that this is a great investment for the entire county and that it will 147 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:21,600 really improve the quality of broadband service we have 148 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:26,320 the other advantage about what this plan is hoping to do is that we've um 149 00:12:24,079 --> 00:12:30,880 partnered with and consulted with both of the well not both all three of the 150 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:35,200 tribes within the county hopi navajo nation and the white mountain apache 151 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:40,079 tribe so that our plan aligns with and dubs dovetails into the the broadband 152 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:44,560 plans that they have so that we're not only creating um that redundancy for our 153 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:47,120 non-tribal communities but we're also tapping into the work and the 154 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,880 infrastructure that our tribal communities are building so that we're 155 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:55,040 leveraging all of the resources to really 156 00:12:52,160 --> 00:13:00,000 build up this entire county so the the request that we're hoping 157 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:04,399 from you is that you um mayor will sign on to a joint letter of support from all 158 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:09,360 of the mayors within navajo county in support of this project that 159 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:14,000 navajo county is applying for we're also um getting letters of support from the 160 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:19,959 president of navajo nation and chairwoman lee gatewood with the white 161 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,959 mountain apache tribe as well 162 00:13:22,959 --> 00:13:29,519 could you just find middle mile network and last mile infrastructure 163 00:13:27,279 --> 00:13:32,560 i can so the middle mile network is really um 164 00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:37,440 the think of it as kind of the highway 165 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:43,279 system that gets the service from place to place it really functions as the 166 00:13:39,680 --> 00:13:47,440 roadway whereas last mile is the service that actually comes to your home it's 167 00:13:45,199 --> 00:13:51,120 the the wires that are required to actually hook up your computer to the 168 00:13:49,519 --> 00:13:56,000 internet or to actually get the service to the home so the county won't be 169 00:13:53,279 --> 00:14:00,399 investing in that last mile provider service what we're investing in is the 170 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:04,639 roadway what we have heard time and time again from the service providers who do 171 00:14:02,399 --> 00:14:08,079 exist in our area is that the most expensive part of providing 172 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:13,680 internet service is the middle mile infrastructure it's building out 173 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:17,279 those systems and so as a result they don't invest in those we and we see 174 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:21,680 that across the country um service providers are hesitant to invest 175 00:14:19,839 --> 00:14:25,600 in rural communities because it is so expensive to invest in that middle model 176 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:31,120 infrastructure because we're all spread out they would rather put those dollars 177 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:36,560 in in more concentrated populations so what the county um is doing as part of 178 00:14:33,519 --> 00:14:41,199 this proposal is we actually released an rfp that just closed on monday for a 179 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,959 last mile partner who will then be able to work 180 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:49,920 with the county to bring in those last mile service 181 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:54,160 providers to actually get from the the middle mile infrastructure to the homes 182 00:14:51,839 --> 00:14:58,240 because we recognize if we don't have actual internet service providers 183 00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:03,199 that middle model infrastructure doesn't do any good so the entire proposal 184 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:07,360 includes last mile partnerships to get service 185 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,360 out to the end user 186 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:13,800 anybody else else have any comments or questions for yourself 187 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:18,320 one more married council um 188 00:15:18,399 --> 00:15:24,639 so navajo county has taken this on was there any kind of 189 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:29,600 business businesses in the area that were in this 190 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:34,560 part of the united states that were willing to take this on so that's what 191 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:38,480 the intent of the rfp was for was to find an internet service provider who 192 00:15:37,279 --> 00:15:42,480 would be willing to partner with the county 193 00:15:39,519 --> 00:15:46,079 on this project application so the county is in the process of reviewing 194 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:50,240 those um responses to that rfp currently as we 195 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:54,959 speak i think they had their first review committee meeting yesterday 196 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:58,959 i will say that the county has um committed to 197 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:04,000 allocating a large portion of their argo dollars to the match for this project um 198 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:07,839 the project is anticipated to cost between 17 and 20 million dollars to 199 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:13,519 build out this middle mile infrastructure and so the county has um 200 00:16:11,279 --> 00:16:17,199 has committed a significant amount of their dollars for the project okay so 201 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:22,639 when it's all said and done who will own 202 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:29,279 the infrastructure the county um and the reason for that is in order to prevent 203 00:16:25,839 --> 00:16:35,360 monopolies um so that the the access to last mile services uh is 204 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:39,199 as affordable as possible and so that it encourages competition 205 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,440 right now i think we all know we only have 206 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:45,279 two strong service providers in our area and 207 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:49,920 when you only have two service providers there's not much choice for consumers 208 00:16:47,519 --> 00:16:54,720 and so the hope is that by the county owning the infrastructure um we'll be 209 00:16:52,079 --> 00:16:59,199 able to lease that to multiple providers to help 210 00:16:55,759 --> 00:17:02,720 drive competition okay thank you you have a question yeah 211 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:07,760 so so we all know that they just passed 212 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,760 this big infrastructure 213 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:14,480 so we know there's going to be money out there for this especially like this last 214 00:17:12,959 --> 00:17:19,280 mile so has that been looked into by the 215 00:17:16,839 --> 00:17:22,319 county um it has okay 216 00:17:21,360 --> 00:17:26,480 and so is that gonna help pick up for our 217 00:17:25,120 --> 00:17:30,480 residents on in the county 218 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:35,200 to get that to the house yes so that is part of the comprehensive 219 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:40,160 master plan we've already begun discussing um 220 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:44,799 what that next phase looks like we're we are confident that um we will be able to 221 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:49,200 get the funding for the middle mile infrastructure all 17 million 222 00:17:47,679 --> 00:17:53,760 through this round of funding through the commerce authority the commerce 223 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:58,160 authority has already said um they have another 100 million coming through at 224 00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:01,520 the state level it's unclear whether that is part of their infrastructure 225 00:17:59,919 --> 00:18:05,600 allocation or whether that's separate from our allocation but we know at 226 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:10,480 minimum there is another 100 million coming through in this state 227 00:18:07,919 --> 00:18:14,000 so part of the conversation we're having in our next 228 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:18,720 round of conversations with which whatever whatever partner we end up on 229 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:23,600 um internet service provider will be that conversation of what is our next um 230 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:28,880 grant application look like to actually get that infrastructure built out um to 231 00:18:27,039 --> 00:18:34,080 the end user to the businesses to the homes um and that will be based on 232 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:39,120 uh communities that are currently underserved or unserved um it will 233 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:43,120 depend on the speeds one of the things that was found out in the master 234 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:48,240 planning process was the actual speed tests that magellan did 235 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:52,160 throughout the county and so what we learned which was really surprising is 236 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:56,240 that what most of us pay for and the speeds that we're supposed to be getting 237 00:18:53,840 --> 00:19:01,039 based on the service we paid for is not what we received that's probably no real 238 00:18:58,559 --> 00:19:04,480 surprise to any of you um but magellan was able to empirically show that by 239 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:08,240 having residents who took the survey actually conduct speed tests 240 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:12,480 on the service they were receiving in their wherever they were taking it at 241 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:17,600 work or at home so that is the next phase of our round of grant applications 242 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:20,880 both at the federal level as well as the state dollars that will be coming out 243 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,520 well um 244 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:30,640 so once it's all done so the last mile 245 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:34,720 uh infrastructure that would be put out to bid or 246 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:39,200 we're not quite sure what that would look like because um 247 00:19:37,039 --> 00:19:42,480 the way the middle mile project is designed 248 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:46,080 we will be able to begin leasing once that infrastructure 249 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:50,480 is built we will begin to release that middle mile fiber 250 00:19:47,919 --> 00:19:54,559 so we might not need as much grant funding for last mile connectivity 251 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:58,720 because a lot of times your internet service providers will build 252 00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:03,360 out because they want to own that last mile infrastructure they don't want the 253 00:20:00,559 --> 00:20:06,159 county to own it um and so if we cover the cost for the middle 254 00:20:04,799 --> 00:20:10,000 model they're more than likely to cover the cost for the last mile so the amount 255 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:14,880 of grant funding necessary to cover that last mile will not we don't anticipate 256 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,559 will be as much um so we're not sure how much 257 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:21,039 that that will be okay and you have you all 258 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:25,120 considered because we have two providers in the area now is there a possibility 259 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:30,080 that they could buy all that or or would you have a competitive where 260 00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:34,960 other entities could come in all of the capacity on the the middle 261 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,880 mile is that what you're doing no on the the 262 00:20:35,679 --> 00:20:40,640 last mile infrastructure 263 00:20:38,559 --> 00:20:42,720 no because they would have to in order to 264 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:47,440 um in order for any provider um to own 265 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:52,320 essentially the last mile they would have to lease all of that capacity from 266 00:20:49,919 --> 00:20:56,080 the county on the middle mile because the county's goal is to create 267 00:20:54,720 --> 00:21:00,320 competition it would be my guess that the county 268 00:20:57,679 --> 00:21:05,440 would not be open to sole sourcing all of that middle mile fiber to one 269 00:21:02,799 --> 00:21:10,080 provider okay yeah that's my question thank you 270 00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:16,960 any other comments or questions phil thank you appreciate it yeah 271 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,960 okay did we take a little initiative 272 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:33,360 second have a motion and a second all in favor 273 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:46,240 moving on to item e and this is going back to what we first reading from 274 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:50,640 the last meeting we had ordinance 21 14 275 00:21:47,679 --> 00:21:50,640 the second reading 276 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:59,200 ordinance of the city of holbrook arizona regarding condominiums and 277 00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:04,559 townhouses whereas people are moving to holbrook creating a scarcity of housing 278 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:10,000 and whereas housing costs continue to rise and whereas condominiums and 279 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:15,600 townhouses offer an option for those who are unable to find housing or may not be 280 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:20,480 able to afford a single family home and whereas although condominiums are 281 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:24,559 defined in the city code condominiums and townhouses are not specifically 282 00:22:22,559 --> 00:22:29,919 listed in any zone and whereas it is the desire of the city 283 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:34,720 council to clarify that condominiums and townhouses are allowed to be built in 284 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,720 the city 285 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:43,600 and this is second reason so i'm sure we'll entertain a motion i'll 286 00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:47,600 make a motion that we approve ordinance 21-14 287 00:22:46,159 --> 00:22:52,640 second motion and a second and 288 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:56,640 this is an ordinance so it requires a roll
