Russo, City Manager <br />Derrick L. Arias, Chief Information Officer <br />11/21/2013 <br />Supporting Installation of Fiber Optic Cable for Public Use in the <br />Florida East Coast Rail Corridor <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />It is recommended that the City Commission approve this Resolution supporting <br />the installation of fiber optic cable for public use in the Florida East Coast Rail <br />Corridor. <br />REASONS: <br />In July 2013, the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council, representing the <br />local governments of Indian River, Martin, Palm Beach, and St. Lucie counties, <br />unanimously passed Resolution No. 13 -01 to support the installation of fiber optic <br />cable for public use in the Florida East Coast Rail Corridor. Southeast Florida <br />does not currently have fiber optic infrastructure available for public use <br />throughout the region, and the "All Aboard Florida" project presents a unique <br />opportunity to provide for the installation of this infrastructure in the rail corridor, <br />which is ideally suited as it links most of the urban areas in Southeast Florida. <br />The City of Sunny Isles Beach could directly benefit from the availability of this <br />infrastructure in the future, as it would facilitate collaboration with other <br />government bodies in our region, opportunities for cost reductions, as well as <br />unique opportunities for shared services. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />• Treasure Coast RPC Reso 13 -01 <br />• Resolution <br />Agenda Item NO .10B <br />Date 11121/2013 <br />95 <br />
