BACKGROUND
History of the I -Net Aareement
In 2005 the City of Dubuque granted Mediacom a franchise to operate a cable system in
the City of Dubuque. Pursuant to that franchise agreement Mediacom agreed to
provide an Institutional Network of fiber (the I -NET) to the City and certain authorized
users in Dubuque. In 2008 Mediacom was granted a state certificate to operate its
cable system and in 2009 terminated its franchise with the City, although agreeing to
continue to provide I -NET service until June 30, 2020. The City and Mediacom
subsequently extended that period to June 30, 2022 with Mediacom agreeing to
continue to provide I -NET service and the City agreeing to extend the lease by
Mediacom of its faciality on City property located at "Lot 2 — Finley Home ADD #2"
adjacent to the 3rd Street Water Tower.
In June of 2022 the agreement was again amended allowing Mediacom to continue to
occupy its present space adjacent to the 3rd Street Water Tower for an additional ten
years expiring in 2032. The current I -NET agreement outlines terms and conditions for
Mediacom's responsibility to provide and maintain the I -NET system for authorized
users for the term of the agreement.
DISCUSSION.
Part of the I -Net Agreement is "Exhibit A I -Net Sites." containing, the name, location,
and fiber count for the approved sites. The City of Dubuque will need an I -Net
connection to the data center at 7900 Chavenelle to be added to the I -Net sites in
Exhibit A of the agreement. The I -Net connection would offer an additional contingent
connection should the city lose one of its own connections
The additional fiber connectivity for the data center is owned by Mediacom and upon
approval, it becomes part of the I -Net governed by the same rules of it.

BUDGET IMPACT.
To make the connection to the city's data center there is a one-time charge of $1,852.72
to redirect two (2) I -NET fibers from the Dubuque County Emergency Responder
Training Facility.to a connection feeding 7900 Chavenelle Dr.
RECOMMENDATION AND ACTION REQUESTED.
The proposed addition of the city's data center to "Exhibit A I -Net Sites" supports
broadband availability and cost savings for key community institutions. We would
respectfully request your approval.
