Initiative #6: Lit San Leandro and Broadband <br /> The fiber optic network known as Lit San Leandro, <br /> LLC (LSL), was enabled through execution of a <br /> License Agreement dated October 17, 2011 <br /> r <br /> between the City of San Leandro and San Leandro <br /> Dark Fiber, LLC (SL Dark Fiber): <br /> • LSL is registered as a utility company with <br /> the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) as a <br /> Non-Dominant Local Exchange Carrier and is <br /> a customer of SL Dark Fiber. <br /> • SL Dark Fiber is the owner of the fiber and is <br /> not regulated by the PUC. <br /> In summary, this license agreement permits SL Dark Fiber to install and operate fiber optic <br /> cables and related facilities in the City's existing conduit. The unique public/private partnership <br /> created by this license agreement provides the City of San Leandro with a trailblazing <br /> opportunity to transform its landscape into a 21st century ecosystem of innovation, <br /> collaboration, economic growth and job creation that will benefit all who live, work, visit and <br /> play in San Leandro. <br /> The activities described in the LSL Initiative are intended to improve the effectiveness of Lit San <br /> Leandro as an economic development tool, ensure LSL's sustainability and continue the <br /> expansion of San Leandro's access to a fast-speed broadband network. <br /> Ongoing viii <br /> Refine the Lit San Leandro Business Model — Lit San Leandro was created following <br /> execution of the original License Agreement between the City and SL Dark Fiber for the purpose <br /> of managing and expanding the fiber optic network and creating services for the San Leandro <br /> business community. As LSL did not formally exist prior to execution of the License Agreement, <br /> the working relationship and responsibilities between the City and LSL, and development of a <br /> specific business model designed to benefit the San Leandro business community, has yet to be <br /> defined. <br /> In addition, the City's receipt of a $2.1 million EDA grant to expand the fiber optic network <br /> requires an amendment to the existing License Agreement to include this expansion. <br /> alt of Leandro Economic icD°evelo Development and Work December 2013 <br /> Y � p Strategy � <br />
