Mr. Codagnone
And also some of the repairs we can do ourselves because these fiber optic cables are multiple strains of fiber
optics, so a lot of times we can just shift to another pair if we do find a break. So a lot of the repairs can be
done by my team, it depends upon what type of break it is.
Alderwoman Kelly
Just a follow up do you know about how much it costs every time you send a consultant out to look at the fiber
optic?
Mr. Codagnone
It varies, sometimes it is $10,000.00, $5,000.00, $2,000.00, it varies.
Alderwoman Kelly
Ok thank you.
Alderman O’Brien
My question would be Mr. Mayor, would this equipment be shared with other divisions? | know in particular we
just did something with the Fire Department and they have the fiber optic, the school department and
everything else like that. So they would be able to use this to help them on their end of it as well too or do you
just manage the whole complete system?
Mr. Codagnone
No we would share it with any other division that needs to use it. But we already do it within the Fire
Department and such and we help out within the School Department as well. We work very closely with
everybody so we share well.
Alderman O’Brien
Very good.
