Title
Substitute resolution authorizing the Commissioner of Public Works to negotiate a Conduit Occupancy License Agreement between the City of Milwaukee and the Milwaukee School of Engineering regarding conduit occupancy.
Analysis
This substitute resolution approves a Conduit Occupancy License Agreement between the City of Milwaukee (“City”) and the Milwaukee School of Engineering (“MSOE”) to occupy a portion of the City’s communications conduit system.
Body
Whereas, the City owns and operates a conduit system located in the City of Milwaukee, County of Milwaukee, State of Wisconsin (“Conduit System”) ; and
Whereas, MSOE has requested permission to place and maintain telecommunications facilities (“MSOE’s Facilities”) in the portions of the City’s Conduit System described on Exhibit A to this Agreement; and
Whereas, By Resolution No. 140751, the City of Milwaukee Common council authorized the City’s Chief Information Officer to install dark fiber and to provide network connectivity at no cost to the City in certain routes where capacity is available to enable MSOE to connect to the WiscNet/BOREAS-Net Abilene/Internet2 education community node located at the City’s Department of Administration-ITMD Network Operations Center; and
Whereas, permitting MSOE to occupy space within the City’s Conduit System will assist the accomplishment of the objectives of Resolution 140751: and

Resolved, That the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee grants approval of the Conduit Occupancy License Agreement between the City of Milwaukee and the Milwaukee School of Engineering, a copy of which is attached and incorporated in this resolution by reference as though set forth therein in fill; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Commissioner of Public Works is hereby authorized and approved to make minor revisions to said cooperation agreement that does not change the intent of said cooperation agreement; and be it
