File Number: 16-362 <br />Both SLDF and LitSL are in process of reorganizing and adding additional staff resources. <br />San Leandro Dark Fiber and LitSL are currently managed by Dr. Patrick Kennedy, Founder; <br />Kathy Otterson, General Manager; and Rene Campos, Lead Engineer. <br />The fiber optic infrastructure of LitSL continues to provide unique opportunities to spur <br />investment. Highlights of activities related to LitSL follow. <br />1.Connection to San Leandro businesses: 238 businesses are connected to the <br />internet via LitSL, including 90 customers at The Gate. Most of these are customers of <br />Crosslink Networks. Other LitSL ISP’s include Paxio and Unwired. <br />2.Broadband Forgivable Loan Program: The City provides matching funds (in the <br />form of a forgivable loan) of up to $10,000 to reduce the cost of connecting a <br />commercial or industrial building to broadband infrastructure. Since the program’s <br />inception in 2012, a total of $89,489 in forgivable loans have been disbursed to the <br />following companies and organizations: <br />Boys & Girls Club of America, 401 Marina Blvd. $15,000 <br />Delta McKeen Joint Venture, 14492-98 Wicks Blvd. 8,000 <br />Delta Properties #6, 14270-78 Wicks Blvd. 10,000 <br />District Council 16, 2020 Williams St. 8,566 <br />Docustream, 14850 Wicks Blvd. 3,935 <br />John F.

The <br />City’s total fiber optic conduit network now exceeds 26 miles (see attached Map: Lit <br />San Leandro Expansion Proposal). <br />It should be noted that not all of this conduit is licensed for use by SLDF. City conduit <br />includes a lengthy stretch of conduit along Bancroft Ave. that is not included in the <br />License Agreement with SLDF. City conduit available to SLDF totals 19 miles: the 10.5 <br />miles included in the original License Agreement, and 8.5 miles under the first <br />amendment. <br />A favorable bidding environment allowed the EDA expansion project to be completed <br />under budget which enabled additional conduit alignments to be added to the project <br />scope. When viewed on the attached map, the additional conduits are identified as “J” <br />Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 12/13/2016
