It's all tied from Finance. Okay. Oh
You would you have 1?
You would you have 1 very well? Go ahead. Don't be angry.
Um I just have 1 quick question. I think this is great with
the FIB.
the fiber Network. So this says that it's a public
the fiber Network so this says that it's a public private
or a private or nonprofit entities going to maintain.
or a private or nonprofit entities going to maintain and
operate the network. Um is that going to be at a fee to the
the residents? Or is that going to be?
the residents? Or is that going to be free to them? Do we
know?
uh,
Uh thank you for the question. Hi, alderwoman my name is
Christian Taylor.
Christian Taylor, digital Equity director and the mayor's
office. Um, so as written the grant, uh, allows
office. Um, so as written, the grant, uh, allows us some
flexibility on how we would arrange.
flexibility on how we would arrange this. Um, I guess the
short answer is no none of those.
short answer is no none of those costs would be transferred
to customers.
to customers, um but there is ways in which we can lean in.
or lean out. So for example, we can just uh,
or lean out. So for example we can just uh totally fund
this program, this project and have a nonprofit or a
private company.
nonprofit or a private company. Be the internet service
provider. Um, and we just
provider, um, and we just own the network, we don't have to
maintain our operated. Um, and then there's levels to it,
where we can decide that, uh, maybe, you know, 10 years
down the road. We would like that. Uh,
down the road we would like that uh network transfer the
lease transferred back to the city. Um,
I I'll also note.
I I'll also note uh, alderwoman that the network is an Open
Access Network which means that any uh established internet
service Prov.
internet service, provider can come and use that fiber
Network to
begin to deploy internet service for their community. So
this
community. So this really incentivizes uh, affordable rates
rates going into our neighborhoods
as we're paying for the for the building the
infrastructure, but then those private, since it would be
open to private is
open to private ISP providers. Would there be a lease
agreement then?
agreement then correct? Okay, great. That's all I got.
Thank you. Uh, before we continue want to recognize
Thank you, uh, before we continue want to recognize

Um, and when you're talking about people coming in and out,
7.
75th is already congested as it is. Um, and I, you know,
when I first looked at the renderings, first thing I said,
is where is the parking? Um, and then you you're saying at
least 10 employees and that's just for egg roll and you're
having another company come.
having another company come in that's going to be more
people coming to work. Uh,
people coming to work, uh, and parking.

going to have.
we're going to have a bottleneck number 1 and number 2.
going to have a bottleneck number 1 and number 2 that the
capacity won't be.
capacity won't be there for this company to grow.
Um, and that's my concern making sure that they grow. Um,
this is a tough 1. So I mean I'll I mean I'm
This is a tough 1. So I mean I'll I mean, I'm supportive,
you know, because I'm I'm but I just don't know if this.
you know? Because I'm I'm but I just don't know if this has
totally been thought out just from what I see. So,

is that we want to be.
is that we want to be very Technology based. So we are
doing even though it's grab and go, we're going to have a
locker system and we're going to also have a app set up. So
therefore think of when you go pick up at a cloud Kitchen
