Community Forum
The following item has been added to the Tuesday, 2/27 Agenda for the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors Meeting. The Board has already formally opposed AT&T's request in a Resolution approved on 2/13/24. The purpose of this forum is to provide the opportunity for greater community discussion.
7. Consider a presentation on AT&T's position regarding its obligations as the
current Carrier of Last Resort (COLR) for Santa Cruz County and its application for COLR relief, as outlined in the memorandum of Chair Cummings
The meeting begins at 9am at which time Public Comment (up to 2 min) on any subject may be given. Supervisor Justin Cummings estimates that the AT&T Landines Community Forum will begin at 10am.
For anyone unable to stay for the meeting, you can still share
public comments at 9am. The meeting will also be recorded for later viewing.
