IT WILL BE LOCATED AT BROOKS CROSSING PARK, DESERT BREEZE, POLICE SUBSTATION, PUBLIC SAFETY TRAINING FACILITY, AND THE VETERANS ALWAYS AS PARK.
THIS IS DRIVEN BY THE FIBER MASTER PLAN UPDATES AND UPGRADES THAT WE'RE DOING TO OUR SYSTEM.
THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF THIS IS TO MAKE OUR SYSTEM MORE ROBUST AND PREVENT LARGE-SCALE OUTAGES.
THESE BUILDINGS WILL BE FIBER HUBS AND CONTAIN EQUIPMENT THAT WILL ADD PATHWAYS TO OUR NETWORK.
IN THE PAST, THERE HAVE BEEN OUTAGES WHICH THESE WOULD HELP PREVENT AFTER INTERNAL DISCUSSION.
IT WAS DECIDED TO PLACE THEM IN SEPARATE FACILITIES RATHER THAN EXISTING FACILITIES.
THIS IS BECAUSE THE EQUIPMENT WILL BE VERY SOPHISTICATED AND THAT WILL PROVIDE SUFFICIENT SPACE FOR THE BLOOD WOULD ALSO PREVENT TAMPERING OR ACCIDENTS FROM AFFECTING THE SYSTEM THAT WOULD PREVENT FIBER MAINTENANCE FROM INTERFERING WITH OTHER CITY OPERATIONS, SUCH AS POLICE AND FIRE.
AND WITH THAT, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
NO, I, I APPRECIATE YOU COMING FORWARD.
IT'S JUST A GOOD DECENTRALIZATION OF RESOURCES OF AN AREA GOES OUT.
