Item 16 Passed 9-0
In plain language — from the agenda backup
The city wants to sign T-Mobile to run a control center platform for Austin's broadband services through Austin Technology Services. The deal starts with a one-year term and could be renewed up to four more years, with a total cap of $2,500,000, though only $50,000 is currently budgeted. It's the kind of behind-the-scenes infrastructure contract that keeps city tech humming.
