 +On Tuesday, March 3, 2015, the City Council [[http://​city-council.cityofdavis.org/​media/​citycouncil/​documents/​pdf/​citycouncil/​councilmeetings/​agendas/​20150303/​09-yolo-broadband-strategic-plan-presentation.pdf|heard a report]] about the [[http://​www.yolocounty.org/​general-government/​yolo-lafco/​shared-services-initiative/​yolo-broadband|Yolo Broadband Strategic Plan]] (YBSP). They then unanimously adopted a motion to direct staff to pursue the recommendations of the report. These are:
 +  * pursue "a solution"​ to the expiration (later this decade) of the Comcast-provided fiber optic intra-net for City and schools;
 +  * adopt a General Plan Amendment as policy framework to facilitate gigabit fiber deployment and incorporate it into the development process; and
 +  * coordinate with other government entities.
 +
 +The cable franchise contract expires in 2018, and the Council directed staff to return no later than September, 2016, with a report. That lead to the City Innovation Officer and his Deputy meeting (on 3/25/15) with DavisGig proponents to discuss our thoughts and how we might work with City staff. They are next planning a series of events (referred to as a "​listening tour") to hear from interested parties about what might make it possible to implement the recommendations in the YBSP.
