Last October, I was elected chair of the Austin Community Technology and Telecommunications Commission, an advisory body to the Austin City Council. One of my duties is to present periodic updates to the Council Committee for Emerging Technology and Telecommunications.
On January 23, I appeared before the council committee and presented a summary of the commission actions over the previous quarter.
One important item was the impending contract renewal with Austin Free-Net, because that was due for council action. AFN is the City's primary partner in its digital inclusion initiatives. The contract is about $53K/year and was up for renewal. The Commission passed a resolution in support of renewal.
On January 31, the Council did approve the contract, and that's good news.
The slides from my presentation, as well as the commission resolution on the Free-Net contract, are attached below.
