Regular Council Meeting Minutes 12-15-08 Page 21 Mr. Saponaro said the only comment he would make is there is a very interesting book called The WoNld is Flat, by Thomas Frieclman. There is a section regarding fiber as being a flattening event. It explains fiber very well and it is a good read to get background on it. It supports exactly what is trying to be done here. It explains why fiber is so important to economic viability for communities. ROLL CALL: AYES: All NAYS: None Motion Carried Ordinance Enacted First Reading of Ordinance No. 2008-47, entitled, "An emergency ordinance authorizing and directing the Mayor to enter into a Dark Fiber Indefeasible Right to Use ("IRU") Agreement between OneCommunity and Mayfield Village, Ohio." Introduced by Mayor Rinker and Council as a Whole. Mrs. Mills, seconded by Dr. Parker, made a motion to suspend the rules of Council requiring an Ordinance to be read on three separate occasions. ROLL CALL: AYES: All NAYS: None Motion Carried Rules Suspended Mrs. Mills, seconded by Mr. Saponaro, made a motion to enact Ordinance No. 2008-47. Council President Buckholtz asked if there was any discussion. There were no comments. ROLL CALL: AYES: All NAYS: None Motion Carried Ordinance Enacted As a postscript, Mayor Rinker said he thought it was kind of interesting one of the comments tonight about how providing services to hospitals, universities, and one of the things that Rich Dugger had talked to us about and the reason OneCommunity is a non-profit is the focus is to get at those kind of institutions. We have talked about the library, certainly our public school system and with UH and the Clinic can't be far behind, Mayor Rinker would suspect, but it's pretty incredible to Mayor Rinker to read about 96 strands and how setting aside 8 could be so valuable and leaving us with only 88 is still pretty astounding.
