Do you happen to know where they hire people for working on this? Are they city or state employees, or are they using a bunch of contractors?

Edit: Hmm, looks like Fort Collins will use contractors for installs and hire 10 to 38 people over five years (p. 39 - Personnel Requirements): https://www.fcgov.com/broadband/pdf/7.27.17%20Broadband%20Bu...

However, this is excluding developers for things like customer portals. Maybe that will get contracted out as well.

Seems light to run an ISP, even for FC's size.

Good find! I was curious too, and that does seem pretty small. I wonder how many people NextLight employs and contracts out in Longmont?
