CEDA – ARPA FUNDS REQUEST FOR BROADBAND: The Council discussed CEDA’s request for 10% of the ARPA funds we would receive, to be used for a dark fiber line. Councilor Grant felt it is needed on the prairie. Councilor Canaday stated other cities have given less than 10% however he didn’t know how much.
