OTHER ISSUES FOR DISCUSSION <br />Thiesse asked if the City is going to be sending out postcard notifications of sketch plans. <br />Barnhart stated that likely will be discussed this summer. <br />Libby stated there is a tremendous amount of dissent and concern with Mediacom both at a business level <br />and at a personal home level. Libby stated there is interest by Century Link, who has fiber optic <br />connectively, on coming into the area. Libby stated he has been in discussions with Century Link's <br />regional design engineer and the Fox Hill neighborhood just ponied out $17,000 for high-speed <br />connectively. Libby stated reliability is terrible with Mediacom, especially at the Freshwater building, <br />and that it is difficult to conduct business over the internet at times. Libby noted he has brought this issue <br />up to the mayor and that he would like to see higher speed internet in more places. Libby stated he can <br />put City representatives in touch with representatives from Century Link if they are interested in pursuing <br />this. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS <br />None <br />F1 PiFIli17►1u 1 OWN 11 <br />Landgraver moved, Lemke seconded, to adjourn the Orono Planning Commission meeting at 9:05 <br />p.m. VOTE: Ayes 6, Nays 0. <br />John Thiesse, Chair <br />Page 21 of 21 <br />
