COMPONENT  STATUS  NOTES 

Overall Status  Some issues  Slow start - still gathering data and information - now have clearer milestones thanks to 
Kim’s assistance.  

Scope  On Track  ● NCRL is present in furthering broadband initiatives in underserved communities. 
● Raised awareness of grants and other funding for municipalities that we serve.​   

Quality  On Track   
Timeline  On Track

WHAT WE COMPLETED THIS MONTH:  
 

● Identified the Counties that are more distressed (in terms of broadband) - Okanogan County including the 
Methow, and Ferry County.  

● Prioritized locations: All of Okanogan County including the Methow, and all of Ferry County.  
● Spoke with TwispWorks Director who has formed a Broadband Initiative team in the Methow. I was invited 

to be on their advisory committee once that is formed - w​ ill need to keep in touch with him. 
Information Gathered: 

● Ferry County ​was awarded a $50,000 grant for the​ Broadband Action Team Planning Study.​ This Planning 
program project consists of a feasibility study to identify the broadband infrastructure inefficiencies in Ferry 
County, in collaboration with the Colville Confederated Tribes. CERB funds were matched by $16,667 in local 
resources.  

● Betty Buckley​(Ferry County) had a conversation with Mike Egan from Microsoft. It seems they're interested 
in partnering with existing providers in Ferry County to increase their broadband capacity. She mentioned to 
him that the service at the Republic and Curlew libraries was pitiful. They also talked about the years it's 
going to take for the local Broadband Action Team to secure funding on their own, if they could get funding 
at all. 

 
WHAT WE PLAN TO COMPLETE NEXT MONTH: 
 

● Follow-up with stakeholders - keep pestering them about meeting with me.  
● Assist with the planning of a two-day symposium being put on by the State in Wenatchee regarding 

broadband funding 
 
ISSUES, RISKS, AND CHANGE REQUESTS: 
 

● Lack of understanding of how the broadband bills differ and when money will be available and to whom - its 
not for libraries at this time so municipality partnerships are a must.

● The only issue we have had is around when to meet as a team. We have met this challenge by conducting our
