proceedings is made, which record includes the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is based.
Names of persons requesting items to be placed on this agenda are shown in parentheses.
I agree with huh. Where is any discussion about at least an interim fire chief. I can’t believe the city commission takes safety so lightly. There is someone extremely qualified for the position already employed by the city with years of service and state certified.
The agenda item “Discuss and possibly approve a broadband lease” addresses issues that the city commission identified with the draft lease agreement drafted by the North Florida Broadband Authority.
The North Florida Broadband Authority is a government entity, based on Florida Home Rule statutes which allow governments to create a single entity by interlocal agreements. The NFBA Service Area includes the North Central Florida Rural Area of Critical Economic Concern, a 14-county area underserverved with broadband Internet access. The counties are: Baker, Bradford, Columbia, Dixie, Gilchrist, Hamilton, Jefferson, Lafayetwte, Levy, Madison, Putnam, Suwannee, Taylor, and Union.
Broadband Internet connection is faster than dial-up connection.
The assets provided from the federal government provide a utility-like structure similar to sewer, water, and electrical companies.
The reason the draft agreement is on the agenda is to help ensure that the interests of the residents of the city are adequately addressed.
City of Madison code enforcement is a joke. Inspectors should be jailed.
