We need your <br />help, as residents, as workers, as families and as students. I am here requesting that as a city we take steps and measures to help <br />prepare us to have citywide wi-fi. <br />I know this Is not a simple process but If we can start planning by connecting with providers, connecting with business owners and <br />building owners, establishing additional access points and planning and preparing to establish WIT -mesh networks- we would be able to <br />ensure that our community would be able to work and learn remotely. Asa district we have provided Chromebooks and hotspots. I am <br />notJust asking for our students but for our greater community- students in college, people working remotely, our community who is <br />being asked to stay home but still need to keep in touch with family and friends and need access to resources and information. . <br />I am requesting that we as a city prepare for citywide WIFI by also reaching out to Google or internet service provlderalvendors to open <br />up access to our community. (notJust two month plans.) We need to as a city work with our school district and our state and county <br />elected officials to see what support our city can provide and to see what support the state and county government can provide to our <br />city. <br />Now is a time we need to come together for our people. Our world is changing and it would be amazing to see our Great City loading <br />the way. We know you are already looking out for our citizens and their safety but this would be one more way we can continue to have <br />open lines of communication and provide access to education, to work, and to much needed resources and Information. <br />You would truly be our HEROES If we were the first city to announce steps we have taken to ensure our community has citywide WI-FI <br />access. Our kids, our families, our workforce and our community needs It. Thank you. <br />Lisa Gonzales- Solomon <br />a <br />
