File Number: 21-718 broadband survey, with responses coming from all neighborhoods and districts within the City. The following is an excerpt from the Fiber Optic Master Plan: “Of those expressing low overall satisfaction, 61% indicated that there were no other (internet) service options in their area and 62% were dissatisfied because the connection was slow or unreliable. These results suggest an opportunity for a provider with high-speed, reliable broadband to capture significant market share with the residential sector.” The City’s broadband infrastructure can be made available to support the creation of a wireless residential broadband network. Recognizing this opportunity, Sail Internet began discussions with the City about expanding their service into San Leandro by utilizing City assets to create a Citywide wireless broadband network: The key terms and conditions of this agreement are: ·The License Agreement will terminate on June 15, 2031 and any renewal would be discussed thereafter, subject to either party’s right to cancel without cause upon 90 days’ notice; ·Sail Internet will pay the City an annual per site license fee, based on fair market value, to access rooftop space to install antennas and related equipment to support its network; ·The license fee will increase by 3% per year; ·The agreement will be non-exclusive; and ·Sail Internet must ensure non-interference with other City-owned wireless facilities, such as public Wi-Fi. The City would benefit through earning a return on its broadband infrastructure investment. The City also benefits through the introduction of a new cutting-edge internet service provider to directly benefit City residents and households. Staff recommends approval of a Right of Entry agreement with Sail Internet to allow the installation of a rooftop wireless communications antenna at the Marina Community Center.
