File Number: 18-028 <br />The San Leandro Unified School District has used various portions of the conduit network to <br />connect all District campuses to their high-speed data network. <br />The conduit network has attracted new investment opportunities in both the industrial and <br />downtown areas (for example, Gate 510 and the San Leandro Tech Campus). The expansion <br />loop will attract and create new, numerous business opportunities specifically related to <br />broadband and innovation. Examples of ongoing projects that the expansion fiber will support <br />include: <br />·Climatec/Paradox Engineering Smart Lighting Project: In addition to thousands of street <br />and building lights being replaced with energy-saving LED lights, the City is one of less <br />than 100 U.S. cities with a “smart city” platform. This platform provides the City with an <br />open technology architecture that allows a limitless number of applications (e.g. traffic, <br />environmental monitoring, energy, etc.) and data to be developed, implemented and <br />integrated into a single system. <br />·Implementation of the City’s first public Wi-Fi hotspots (“WiFiber”), with the goal of <br />developing Wi-Fi access across San Leandro. This is a key “digital divide” asset, <br />eventually enabling San Leandro residents across all economic groups with access to fast <br />broadband. <br />·National recognition of San Leandro as a leader in “smart city” development through its <br />work with organizations like U.S. Ignite, Smart Cities Council, Next Century Cities and the <br />Global Cities Team Challenge. <br />Analysis <br />The proposed amendments to the License Agreement are summarized follows: <br />·With respect to the Expanded Property, neither Party under the License Agreement is <br />allowed to transfer or assign its rights without the prior consent of the other Party and the <br />United States Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration. <br />·Addition of a non-discrimination clause based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, <br />age or physical or mental disability. <br />Both changes were requested by the EDA to meet their requirements for grant-funded projects. <br />Neither City staff nor SLDF have any concerns with the requested revisions, which will not alter <br />the fundamental relationship between the two parties. <br />Applicable General Plan Policies <br />·Policy ED-1.1: Leveraging San Leandro’s Assets <br />·Policy ED-1.2: Maintaining San Leandro’s Competitive Edge <br />·Policy ED-3.2: Business Infrastructure <br />·Policy ED-3.4: Lit San Leandro - Expansion and Smart City Action Strategy <br />Legal Analysis <br />The subject Amendment has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney. <br />Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 1/30/2018 <br />24
