City Invites Public Input on Criteria for Sale of Burlington Telecom
The City of Burlington and the Burlington community have a significant investment in Burlington Telecom’s success and interests in ensuring affordable, effective, and responsive fiber optic services for its residents. To that end, the City is engaged in a public process with the residents of Burlington to determine criteria by which the City should be guided in a future transaction involving the ownership of Burlington Telecom. We invite you to join the discussion and share your thoughts at the final public meeting:
Wednesday, February 10
DPW Conference Room, 645 Pine Street
5:30 – 7:30 pm
Minutes from prior public meetings soliciting input on sale criteria are available here: http://www.burlingtontelecom.net/burlington-telecom-advisory-board/.
Interested participants may also watch recordings of past meetings on Channel 17: https://www.cctv.org/tags/burlington-telecom-advisory-board.
This public meeting is intended to gather feedback from the Burlington community to inform the Burlington Telecom Advisory Board (BTAB). Your comments will be considered as the BTAB finalizes a recommendation regarding these criteria to be presented to the City Council for review and approval. The current schedule, which is subject to change, is for the recommendation (as revised based on public comments) to be presented to the City Council for approval in March 2016.
