REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> Date: 09/09/2013 <br /> Item No.: 7.d <br />Department Approval City Manager Approval <br />Item Description: Approve an Amendment to the Lease Agreement with AT&T Wireless (formerly <br />Cingular) for Additional Ground Space at the Water Tower Site <br />B <br />ACKGROUND <br />1 <br />On March 13, 2006 the City of Roseville and Cingular Wireless (now AT&T Wireless) entered into a lease <br />2 <br />agreement to allow for the installation of wireless communications equipment on the water tower and <br />3 <br />surrounding ground space. <br />4 <br />5 <br />Consistent with emerging industry standards, AT&T has asked for approval to install a separate 4’ x 10’ <br />6 <br />equipment shelter to house a generator that would ensure uninterrupted wireless communications during a <br />7 <br />power failure. The shelter would be fully enclosed and screened by the existing fence that surrounds the <br />8 <br />perimeter of the tower. Further screening would come from the Fire Station #2 building, existing <br />9 <br />communications shelters and equipment, trees and shrubs, and existing topography. The generator would <br />10 <br />not be seen nor heard from any homes in the area. <br />11 <br />12 <br />The equipment shelter is proposed to be 40 square feet and would not require any zoning approvals. City <br />13 <br />Code allows for accessory buildings with a footprint up to 200 square feet without a variance. However, <br />14 <br />the additional ground space necessary for the shelter requires an amendment to the current Lease. <br />15 <br />16 <br />City Staff and the City Attorney have approved the language in the attached lease amendment. In exchange <br />17 <br />for the additional leased space, AT&T will pay approximately $280 annually which will be adjusted in <br />18 <br />subsequent years by an inflationary rate. <br />19 <br />20 <br />City Staff will be present at the Council Meeting to address any questions. <br />21 <br />PO <br />OLICYBJECTIVE <br />22 <br />Not applicable. <br />23 <br />FI <br />INANCIALMPACTS <br />24 <br />The City would receive an additional $280 annually (adjusted for inflation) under the lease amendment. <br />25 <br />These monies will help offset costs associated with the City’s Information Technology function. <br />26 <br />SR <br />TAFF ECOMMENDATION <br />27 <br />Staff recommends approval of the lease amendment. <br />28 <br />Page 1 of 2 <br /> <br />
