Astound Broadband Franchise Agreement
Details: In 2013, the City of Camas entered into a franchise agreement, Ordinance No. 2673, with Sawtooth Technologies, LLC. Sawtooth was the recipient of a Gates Grant to install fiber optic cable for K-20 educational purposes. Fiber was ran to places such as the Camas Library and Liberty Middle School. Sawtooth has been purchased by Astound Broadband. Astound intends to run fiber optic lines for end users such as the Camas High School and the newly proposed Lacamas Elementary School on NE 232nd Avenue. In order to do so, a new franchise agreement is needed. Attached is a draft of the ordinance that has been reviewed by Camas staff and counsel, as well as Astound and their attorney. Camas staff proposed that a public hearing be held on November 21, 2016, for consideration of adoption of this ordinance.
