<br />1 <br /> <br />MASTER LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR <br />SMALL CELL POLE ATTACHMENT INSTALLATION <br /> <br />This MASTER LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR SMALL CELL POLE ATTACHMENT <br />INSTALLATION (“Master License”), effective as of _____, 20__, is made by and between the <br />CITY OF SAN LEANDRO, a California charter city (the “City”) and GTE Mobilnet of California <br />Limited Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless (“Licensee”). <br />BACKGROUND <br />A. The City owns and operates approximately 4,730 street light poles and other traffic <br />control and safety poles (each, a “City Pole”) in San Leandro, California, many of which are <br />suitable sites for installing equipment to enhance wireless telecommunications services in San <br />Leandro. The City purchases electricity to power each street light from Pacific Gas & Electric <br />Company (PG&E). Certain street lights are powered from PG&E’s unmetered electrical grid, <br />while others are attached in series to various electrical meters. The City can provide Licensee <br />information on how individual streets lights are powered upon request. <br />B. Licensee has requested to use City Poles to install, maintain, access, and operate <br />communications facilities as specified in this Master License. <br />C. This Master License Agreement is intended to manage the license of existing City <br />Poles for installation of outdoor distributed antenna systems, including small cells or microcells to <br />be installed and operated by wireless telecommunications carriers using licensed and unlicensed <br />spectrum and third-party hosts certificated by the California Public Utilities Commission. The City <br />reserves the right to evaluate usage of unlicensed spectrum (e.g. 5 Ghz) and to assess <br />coexistence with its Public Wi-Fi equipment. Licensee agrees to work with City to ensure such <br />coexistence is achieved. The Master License has been approved by the following City actions, all <br />of which are now final and binding: <br />1. The City Council concluded that City approval of the Master License and <br />Pole License would not commit the City to authorize use of specific City Poles. Therefore, <br />the City actions described in Paragraph C.2 did not fall with the definition of a “project” <br />under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines section 15378. <br />2 The City Council adopted Resolution No. ___ authorizing its City Manager <br />or his or her designee to enter into this Master License with and to issue Pole Licenses to <br />wireless telecommunications carriers in a manner consistent with all required approvals <br />on ____. <br />D. Licensee has the authority under applicable Laws to install and maintain <br />communications facilities in the public right-of-way to provide wireless telecommunications <br />services. <br />NOW THEREFORE, IN RECOGNITION OF MUTUAL CONSIDERATION, THE ABOVE <br />PARTIES AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING: <br /> <br />Commented [3]: To be added by City. <br />284
