Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
From: Peter Holzmeister
Date: September 10, 2004
Subject: Status of broadband business implementation
WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD: Much is happening with respect
to this issue. It is probably time to have a general discussion and give some
direction to the General Manager so I keep out of trouble.
HISTORY: We have come a long way and are generally ready to complete
financing and launch construction. However, we are temporarily delayed for a
short period at LAFCo as a result of a request for reconsideration filed by
Cebridge Connections. We have also copied and sent to Cebridge Connections
approximately 15,000 pages of documents resulting from their public records act
request. We will eventually learn what they intend to do with all that material.
NEW INFORMATION: We have placed information in the news media to tell the
community what is happening. It has generated lively discussion in Truckee,
which is what should be happening.
RECOMMENDATION: I am suggesting that the board engage in a general
discussion of your ideas at this point. I am also interested in knowing if the board
wants us to be proactive and aggressive in our communication with the news
media and with our customers in general.
