    Business

    • Grace, a representative from Lumos, came to discuss her company coming to the area.  Lumos is a fiber company that just partnered with TMobile and will soon be rebranded TFiber.  The company has been operating for 20 years and is expanding to cover 10 states.  The fiber is 1 ¼” and 24-36 below ground and all boxes/equipment is also below ground.  All of Jefferson county will be covered in 3 ½-4 years and once the project is started it will become active in about 5 months.  The non promotional price at this time is about $80/month.  If Moorland approves, Lumos Fiber will be available early 2026.  Grace will send more paperwork and videos to show the City.
    • Broken light post is fixed.
    • Paul received a verbal quote to install the poles for cameras but will forward the written quote when he receives it.  $650/pole
    • Tammy requested a date for the sidewalk repair in front of her home.  She is planning projects in her yard when the work is finished.  Paul said work will be done next week.
    • Jamie passed around print outs that Keena sent on the new website.  They will meet to discuss the progress and any changes.
    • Kevin suggested we send a letter to a house on Ashmoor that continuously parks on the speed humps.
    • Paul took a vote to approve the poles being installed.  All approved.  Paul took a vote to have the cameras installed.  All approved.
