Council approved the renewal measure by roll call: the motion passed with 12 yes votes, one abstention and one absent. The abstention was recorded for Alderman Pieper; the transcript shows the remainder voting in favor.
Council discussion on the item was brief. An alderman presented the measure noting it was a routine renewal of an existing arrangement for fiber capacity through Fermilab; staff indicated the lease covers multiple fiber strands (referred to in the discussion as a 10‑fiber bundle) and is for a six‑year term, consistent with the language in the packet.
No additional conditions or amendments were recorded during the meeting. The renewal will continue the city’s existing access to the Fermilab fiber capacity as described in the memorandum presented to council.
