initial backbone of the Consortium network. The At -Large seats are open to
all voting members of the Consortium. The Consortium Board shall

King County, etc.), and other categories that may arise. The Consortium
Board shall recommend a representative composition of the Board at the
Annual Meeting. The Consortium may change the composition and number

Consortium Voting Members.

for a one year term, two at -large Members elected for a two year term, and one
at -large Member elected for a three year term. Board Members, at their first
meeting, will use a random selection method to determine the term of each At-
large seat. Elections shall take place at the Consortium's Annual Meeting, The
Core seats shall have a three year term. At the conclusion of each three year term
the Consortium Board will review the makeup of the Core seats based on sunk
investments, level of effort towards Consortium goals (e.g., project management,
engineering, regional coordination, administrative, etc.), budget contributions and
any other factors demonstrating on -going commitment and achievement and
propose any appropriate changes in Core seat assignment. If a seat is vacant and
the Consortium Member is not able to replace its representative, the Consortium
Board may elect another Member or hold an election to fill the remaining term of
the seat.
C. Operating Committees. The Members of the Consortium Board shall
appoint Consortium Members to such operating committees as deemed
necessary by the Board to assist in the operations of the Consortium. The
Consortium Board may, at its discretion, vote on the formation of such

30
committees as necessary for the orderly business operation of the
Consortium. Possible future committees are Operations, Finance, and
Nominating.
D. Consortium Officers. The Consortium Board shall select a Chair, a Vice
Chair and a Secretary. The Vice -Chair will act as Board Chair in the
absence of the Chair. The Chair, Vice -Chair and Secretary shall each serve
a two -year term. In the event a Chair is unable to complete its term, the
unfilled portion shall be filled by the Vice Chair. If the Vice -Chair is vacated,
the Board or Committee shall elect a new Vice Chair. The election of
officers is at the discretion of the Consortium Board and may be by written,
electronic or verbal ballot. The Consortium Board shall select a Chair and
Vice -Chair for any committees it creates. The duties of any Consortium
officers shall be those normally associated with the office and include
chairing meetings, coordinating agendas, acting on behalf of the Consortium
as directed by Board action, and other duties to ensure the effective and
efficient operations of the Consortium.
E. Consortium Board Member Responsibilities. Consortium Board
Members shall participate in the preparation of the annual budget
recommendation to be presented for Member adoption at the Consortium's
Annual Meeting. The budget document shall contain, at a minimum, an
annual report including significant project update reports. The Consortium
Board Members shall stay informed on or be directly engaged in the
activities of Consortium committees and projects to fulfill the Consortium
Board's oversight role of ensuring adequate progress and achievement of

CCC Bylaws Page 3 of 8 (07.13.11 rev)
31
A. Membership Types. There are two Membership Classes Voting and
Non Voting. The Consortium shall maintain a Membership roster
designating Voting and Non Voting members.
B. Voting Members. Voting Members shall enjoy full privileges, including
voting, sharing of risks and rewards, ownership of assets, and other
benefits. Voting Members are expected to positively contribute to
Consortium governance and operation, provide in -kind contributions of
conduit, staff time or funding and actively participate in meetings,
Consortium projects, and regional activities that further the Consortium's
mission. Voting Members who fail to actively participate during a four year
period may, upon notice and by a vote of the Consortium Board, have their
membership status changed to Non Voting Member based on a finding by
the Board that the Member has not actively participated during the
applicable four year period.
C. Non Voting Members. Non Voting Members may participate in
Consortium Project Agreements that are within and /or affect their
jurisdiction, but are not required to actively participate in Consortium
business or governance. Non Voting members may attend Consortium
meetings and provide input but may not vote. Non- Voting Members are not
required to contribute to Consortium governance or operation and are not
eligible for distribution of Consortium assets in the event of dissolution of the
Consortium.
D. Attaining Membership. A public agency desiring membership in the Consortium
must express its interest in writing to the Consortium Board. The letter of interest
should identify the type of membership sought and how the agency's interests
align with the goals and principles of the Consortium. The Consortium Board shall
review the request and take action accordingly:
1. Non Voting Members. For agencies seeking non voting membership because
of limited and discrete interests (e.g., connecting a facility), the Consortium
Board can take action on the membership request at its next available Board
meeting. Non voting members should participate in committee and project
meetings appropriate to their interests.
2. Voting Members. For agencies seeking full voting membership, the
Consortium Board can consider the request, and if approved, allow immediate
admittance as a non voting member. Prior to admittance as a full voting
member, applicants must serve a one -year period as a non voting member. The
one -year period begins when the Consortium Board approves the request after it
reviews the letter of interest. During the one -year non voting period, the
applicant should attend Board and /or committee meetings for one year to
demonstrate sincere interest and willingness to actively participate and engage in
the collaborative partnership. Final admittance as a full voting member is
established by a majority vote of the full voting membership based upon
demonstrated ability to develop and maintain effective partnerships in alignment
with Consortium goals and objectives.

Consortium
History
The consortium started in 2003 with a joint fiber project between the Lake
Washington School District and City of Kirkland. It then expanded to include the
University of Washington, Evergreen Hospital and the City of Bellevue. Followed
quickly by the addition of Bellevue School District, Bellevue College, City of Renton,
Renton School District, and City of Seattle. In 2011 the Consortium was formally
organized as a government agency. The consortium continually finds opportunities
to build out a fiber network on the eastside of Lake Washington to 'ring the Lake.'
Our current focus is to extend into south King County and 'expand in the Valley',
with the addition of Auburn and other cities.
We have built over 35 miles of fiber optic cable, creating strategic connection
points along the way. Our partners use the fiber network to:
Connect schools and universities to enhance learning.
Connect hospitals, medical facilities and clinics to improve health care.
Connect government facilities for public safety, transportation and other
needs.
Provide an open access network to serve the public with wireless and
broadband access.
Future
Now that there are major connection points in Kirkland, Bellevue and soon Renton,
we intend over the next five years to:
Create a vibrant and competitive region by providing connectivity to meet
the needs of our community institutions hospitals, schools, city halls,
public safety agencies.
Expand the use of our fiber network to support new applications and needs.
Build resiliency in our network and for our partners by adding redundancy
and connecting with other regional networks.
Ensure a sustainable organizational, governance and management structure
to make sound, lone -term decisions benefiting our customers.
