By Andy Chappell-Dick

COMMITTEES

Utilities - Councilor Dave Steiner made an announcement that noticeably energized the room. The Cincinnati-based tech startup Omni Fiber will become Bluffton's newest internet service provider next year, when it plans to install a network of fiber optic cables in town. The new fiber optic cables will be added to existing AEP utility poles, and buried in neighborhoods where services are already underground.

The Omin Fiber website states that standard speeds are "up to" 500 Mbps, with enhanced packages of four times that speed. Costs will be comparable to the existing providers.

Tree Commission - Councilor Ben Stahl reported for the Tree Commission. Several tree maintenance tasks around town were handled by commission members themselves, rather than hiring out the work.
