 +  * 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.
