BACKGROUND The City of Livermore is the owner of real property located at 3801 Doolan Road. In 1994, the cities of Livermore and Pleasanton entered into a joint intergovernmental agreement for the purpose of owning and operating a radio tower at the Doolan Road site principally for transmitting the 800 MHz radio system, which served the Cities until 2012. In 2012, the Cities both converted their radio services to the East Bay Regional Radio Communications Authority. EBRCSA has used the tower since that time as one of its main transmission points. In accordance with the agreement, the tower may be made available for third-party usage subject to approval by each of the Cities. Since the late 1990's the two Cities have approved lease agreements with Zone 7, New Cingular and Wheels. The Lease with New Cingular was approved in 2014 and was amended in 2016 to allow the mounting of additional equipment on the tower. DISCUSSION New Cingular would like to amend the lease to allow for additional equipment to be mounted on the tower. The existing tower has twelve (12) panel antennas, twelve (12) RRUs mounted behind the antennas, and two (2) DC surge protectors mounted behind the antennas. Modifications include the addition of three (3) RRUs mounted behind the antennas and one (1) DC surge protector mounted behind the antennas for a total of fifteen (15) RRUs mounted behind the antennas and three (3) DC surge protectors mounted behind the antennas on the tower. Due to the modifications sought by lessee, the lease requires the Base Rent paid by lessee to be adjusted commensurate with the additional equipment and/or antenna to be installed. The New Cingular lease, which currently pays $5091 per month, would be adjusted upward by $700 per month) to $5791 per month ($200 per month for each new RRU, and $100 per month for the new surge protector). The proposed revisions to the equipment on the tower have been reviewed by City staffs and have been found to be consistent with relevant requirements. The proposal to amend the Lease would also provide New Cingular the option to extend the term of the Lease for five years. The current lease expires in January of 2024 and would be extend another five years subject to written approval by both Cities.
