CITY OF MEDINA
RESOLUTION NO. 2021-20
RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR THE COOPERATIVE EFFORT FOR
BROADBAND IN UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES OUTSIDE THE METRO
WHEREAS, the City of Medina has determined that increasing broadband and
internet services to residents is a top priority in 2021 and beyond; and
WHEREAS, the City of Medina City Council is working in collaboration with
neighboring City Council's by seeking support from elected representatives that serve our
communities at the county and state level of government for directing additional DEED
grant dollars for our broadband needs; and
WHEREAS, the City of Medina City Council believes communities like ours
should not be over looked just because of our geographical location, as our communities
are not that dissimilar from the overwhelming majority of rural and outstate communities
that currently receive DEED grant funding from the Office of Broadband Development;
and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, BY THE CITY OF MEDINA
CITY COUNCIL, that we support the collaborative efforts in seeking additional support
and funding for broadband expansion grant opportunities.
