Aurora Approves Stricter Master License Agreements for Fiber Vendors
What happened
The Aurora Infrastructure and Technology Committee approved a resolution authorizing master license agreements for fiber optic vendors throughout the city. This action followed frequent complaints received by the city regarding unfinished fiber installation work. The new agreement requires vendors to pay a $10,000 annual right-of-way fee and post a $250,000 bond, which is significantly higher than the standard $25,000 bond.
Why it matters
The new agreement gives the city greater ability to enforce completion standards on third-party vendors. This regulatory change directly addresses resident complaints about the state of fiber infrastructure projects.
