In order to work with the Downtown Economic Development Corporation (DEDC) on the wireless initiative, we need Council's authorization. Typically, Tuesday at noon would be the latest time to get something added to the agenda for June 27 which is the last council meeting until September. By that schedule, we don't have time to vote on this petition in order to submit it from the committee. Therefore I am willing to submit it personally in order to not miss the opportunity. The text I plan to submit is below. If anyone would like to have their name added as a sender of the petition, let me know.--Terri

RE: Downtown Wireless Initiative

After the June 15, 2005 Council meeting, the Town Manager referred a citizen petition to the Technology Advisory Committee requesting that a wireless network be established to serve the neighborhoods of Northside and Pine Knolls. Currently, the Downtown Economic Development Corporation is in the very early stages of pursuing a downtown wireless initiative and a town-wide wireless network is included as one of the activities in the Technology Advisory Committee's 2005-2006 strategic plan (presented to Council on March 23, 2005).

I hereby request that Council authorize the Technology Advisory Committee to work together with the Downtown Economic Development Corporation and any other town or university group that may be involved in planning and implementing a downtown or citywide wireless initiative. Such collaboration would include, but not be limited to, determining the coverage area, reviewing and selecting platform and hardware, reviewing and contracting with consultants, designing a business plan, and promoting the idea with citizens and local businesses.
