Google Broadband Competition: You have probably all heard about the competition <br />Google initiated for cities and individuals to express an interest in having Google select <br />their city for an experimental city to receive broadband access throughout the <br />community. If not, here is a link to an article about this <br />http:Ilwww.govtech.comlgtlarticles1750498. As you will read in the article,1,100 cities <br />submitted applications. Gne of the criteria was a population of 50,000. Staff did meet <br />with area municipalities to discuss a joint application. However, because the area is <br />already served by two companies with high-speed access, and none of the cities in this <br />area control underground utilities we were not optimistic about the likelihood of an <br />award. We will continue to keep an eye on the project and hope for much success in its <br />future application in this region. <br />Mark your calendar for the upcoming U City in Bloom Plant Sale-April 24 & 25! <br />Friday, April 30, from 8 AM to 5 PM Trailnet will host a Livable St. Louis Conference <br />go to http:Ilwww.trailnet.orgllivableconference.phpmore information. <br />Upcoming Meetings: <br />Monday, April 12 5:30 PM Study Session, Review Community Development <br />Permitting <br />6:30 PM Council Meeting <br />Thursday, April 15 6:30 PM Full Budget Study Session <br />Monday, April 19: 6:00 PM Budget Town Hall Meeting with City Staff <br />Thursday, April 22 6:30 PM Full Budget Study Session <br />Monday, May 3 6:30 PM Council Meeting <br />Friday, May 14 5:30 PM Goal Setting Session, Green Center <br />Saturday, May 15 9:30 AM Goal Setting Session, Green Center <br />Monday, May 17 6:30 PM Council Meeting <br />Attachments: <br />FY 11 Draft Budget-Preliminary Projected Revenue & Expenditures <br />Letter from Mid County <br />Charter Cable Correspondence <br />Creating Whole Communities Flyer <br />St. Louis American Article RE: Mayor's Appointment <br />Community Development Updates North and SouthlGlive} <br />Public Works Week-in-Review ~Ioop streetscape update} <br />NLC Research Brief, Views of Public Engagement <br />Info RE: Local Jobs for America Act <br />Beekeeper Article <br />Legislative Updates <br />Park Fee Follow Up <br />GIS Strategic Implementation Plan <br />April 12 Study Session Agenda RE: Community Development Permitting <br />April 12 Draft Council Agenda <br />Council ai~acl~menfs are available upon requesf by contacfing Deanna Townson of <br />505-853 ~ or a~townson uclfymo. org <br />
