o Plans to submit remaining poles into applications before July 11
Construction
• Lightspeed Update – released areas to go finish splicing work
• Syracuse Utilities Update – released a cleanup list

timelines, which will allow for more precise communication about installation schedules to
constituents

timeline, etc.

contractor via bid
“Low Hanging Fruit” Items

designs in the field

been unable to reach

for completing the civil work

Calix) in terms of the route switch gear
Financial Reporting (as of May 31) – Amanda Anderson
Not a lot of expenses this month due to working through the re-start

We have been working on keeping our accounts receivable on track by following up with customers
for non-payment
A Anderson shared the “12 Month Revenue and Operating Expenses” chart, showing that we had an
uptick in expenses this month (due to FirstLight not changing their billing yet)
• C Byrnes added that the FirstLight bill was received, and the amount was lowered to the new
contracted price

Part-time marketing position
