City's representative on the I-Net Joint Powers Board.
Background
In June of2003, the City entered into an agreement with Scott County and the Shakopee
School District to jointly build and operate a fiber network, commonly referred to as the
I-Net. The agreement calls for each of the three partners to appoint one member of their
staff or governing board to the Joint Powers Board.. Because Tracy Schaefer no longer
works for the City, there is a need to appoint someone else to represent the City on the
Board.
With the creation of the new Assistant City Administrator position, the City has a single
person responsible for overseeing both telecommunications and information technology-
the two divisions regularly involved in the operation, funding, maintenance and
expansion ofthe I-Net. Therefore, it is recommended that the Assistant City
Administrator be appointed as the City's representative to the Joint Powers Board.

It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution,. appointing the
Assistant City Administrator as the City's representative on the I-Net Joint Powers
Board.
