expressed a desire to have a more formal access agreement in place for the portion of the pathway that 33 crosses their property on the south end of the parcel that contains the Reservoir. 34 35 It’s worth noting that the tower has been in place since 1997 and access to the tower was provided via a 36 gravel road that eventually became a paved pathway in 1999. Access to the tower was agreed to when the 37 City originally bought the property but evidently a formal agreement was not done. It is expected that a 38 formal agreement with the SPRWS will be completed in April or May. In the meantime, SPRWS has 39 indicated that it has no intentions of changing or preventing any access to the tower. 40 41 In the discussion at the Parks Commission meeting it was noted that IF the southerly route ever needed to 42 be built, it would require future discussion on the alignment, amount of tree and brush removal, and 43 pathway surface materials. At this time the southerly route is not needed. Verizon has obtained approval to 44 use the northerly route from the SPRWS on a temporary basis until a formal access agreement is finalized. 45 46 Attachment A includes the proposed Lease Agreement with Verizon. We expect some minor modifications 47 to the language associated with the landscaping plan. We expect this to be completed by Friday. Any 48 modifications will be sent to the Council under separate cover . Attachment B includes a revised site plan 49 outlining the changes requested by the City Council, Parks Commission, and City Staff. 50 51 Staff will be available at the meeting to address any questions. 52 PO OLICYBJECTIVE 53 The proposed modification to the ground space at the Reservoir Woods Tower is consistent with City Code 54 requirements for co-locations of wireless service providers as well as past practices. The lease agreement 55 will provide non property-tax revenue to support City functions. 56 FI INANCIALMPACTS 57 The lease agreement call for the City to receive $28,000 annually (adjusted for inflation). 58 SR TAFF ECOMMENDATION 59 Staff recommends approval of the lease subject to final approval by the City Attorney. 60 RCA EQUESTEDOUNCILCTION 61 Motion to approve the lease agreement with Verizon Wireless (VAW) LLC, for leased space at the City 62 owned Reservoir Woods Communication Tower, subject to final approval by the City Attorney. 63 64 Prepared by: Chris Miller, Finance Director Attachments: A: Proposed Lease Agreement with Verizon Wireless B: Proposed Memorandum of Tower Agreement C: Revised Site Plan 65 Page 2 of 2
