Dear Councilors,

Please approve the CBN (Community Broadband Network) contracts at your meeting on Tuesday Nov. 19.

I believe that in the proposed contracts County Staff has delivered what you asked for at your meeting on January 24, 2023.

In a post to my blog at https://www.blabnow.blog/blog/ I’ve listed some points in support of the contracts and some questions that I suggest you ask Staff.

I’ve read Kevin Holsapple’s article in the Los Alamos Reporter.  It seems that to satisfy his request for transparency the County would have to conduct contract negotiations in public.  There has been a lot of public discussion about the CBN and the predecessor ideas for years. During the almost two years between your charge to Staff in January of 2023 and their response this month Holsapple and others may have forgotten some of those discussions.

As always, I thank each of you for serving on the County Council,
