Hi Erica,
We have prepared a legislative advocacy letter in response to the FCC’s Notice of Inquiry regarding potential
preemption of local public right-of-way authority for broadband projects (“Build America: Eliminating Barriers to
Wireline Deployments” WC Docket No. 25-253). Federal action by the FCC could have wide-ranging implications for
local management of public rights-of-way. We are planning to submit the letter by the deadline of Wednesday,
December 17.
The position aligns with the City’s adopted Legislative Platform, has been reviewed internally, and the League of Cities
has also submitted comments on this item. Please let me know if you have any questions and if you are supportive of
us signing off and submitting.
