Summary
At a joint meeting, Peaine and St. James each authorized a $21,500 no-interest loan to the Beaver Island Association to cover half of Office of Regional Prosperity Broadband Development grant project payments pending reimbursement. The Boards also requested a community forum on the Community-Owned Broadband Network Proposal and approved annual participation in the American Association for Public Broadband. At its May 14 meeting, St. James separately authorized its Supervisor to sign the Broadband Services Agreement with the Beaver Island Association; the agreement text and execution are not held here.
