THE CITY OF 3 oppo CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT pLE ASANTONo July 21, 2009 Law Department TITLE: APPROVE LEASE WITH VERIZON WIRELESS FOR CELLULAR ANTENNA FACILITIES ON CITY PROPERTY LOCATED NEAR THE BERNAL CORPORATE BUSINESS CENTER SUMMARY Verizon Wireless has requested to lease a portion of the City's sewer pump station site adjacent to the Bernal Corporate Business Center. The company would install its facilities (a pole, antenna and supporting infrastructure) on a small portion of the City's property in order to provide better cell phone coverage for its customers in the Pleasanton and Tri- Valley area. City staff has reviewed the area where the facilities would be installed and has determined that their location on the site will not interfere with the City's use of the site. Because, however, the planning department will need to review the design of the facilities to determine conformance with the City's telecommunications ordinance, the company will still be required to obtain the necessary planning approvals from Pleasanton before proceeding with installation of the facilities. The lease expressly provides that by entering into the lease the City's discretionary land use authority concerning the equipment/pole is not impaired. The monthly rent is $2150 with an increase of 3% every year. The total term of the lease is 20 years. RECOMMENDATION Authorize the City Manager to execute a lease and other documents with Verizon Wireless for a cellular antenna facilities on City property. FINANCIAL STATEMENT Over a 20 year term, the lease will generate $677,133.
