File Number: 12 -337 <br />Tara Peterson gave a brief overview of the Standard Cell Site Lease Agreement. Tara <br />explained that the City had two objectives when drawing up the agreement. The first <br />objective was to establish a fee for processing the agreements so that all expenses <br />incurred by the City of San Leandro could be recovered. The second was to establish <br />a standardized agreement to streamline the process, make it more efficient, and place <br />the City in a stronger position to negotiate with the telecoms. The first objective was <br />met when Council approved the fee schedule for 2012 -13. For the second objective, <br />an agreement was prepared by staff and reviewed by the City Attorney. Staff is asking <br />the Committee to recommend that this agreement be approved by Council and that the <br />rate schedule that is being inserted in the agreement also be approved. <br />Discussion ensued. Staff responded to questions from the Committee. <br />Councilmember Gregory asked for more specifics regarding the rate schedule. Tara <br />listed the rates for the Committee. Councilmember Cutter asked if there are separate <br />rates based on the location of the cell towers. Uche Udemezue explained that the <br />location does not matter; the rates are the same. Councilmember Cutter stated that <br />she would like more time to review the lease agreement before forwarding a <br />recommendation to the whole Council. <br />2.

Keith stated that there is no car movement at all during the phase. <br />Councilmember Starosciak asked if there will be a traffic analysis done on how long it <br />takes to get through the intersection before and after the project is in place.
