City of San Leandro Meeting Date: February 5, 2018 Staff Report Agenda Section:File Number:18-028 CONSENT CALENDAR Agenda Number:8.F. TO:City Council FROM:Chris Zapata City Manager BY:Lianne Marshall Assistant City Manager FINANCE REVIEW:David Baum Finance Director TITLE:Staff Report for a Resolution to Approve a Second Amendment to the License Agreement Between the City of San Leandro and San Leandro Dark Fiber LLC. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS In Sept. 2012, the City was awarded a $2,121,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration (EDA) to assist in the construction of conduit for expanding the City’s fiber optic broadband network. While the original grant application anticipated a 7.4-mile expansion, the grant has successfully drawn to a close with the addition of 9.4 miles to the City’s fiber optic conduit. To complete the grant closure, the EDA requires amendment of the License Agreement to reflect two additional items. Staff requests approval of a Resolution approving a Second Amendment to the License Agreement between the City of San Leandro and San Leandro Dark Fiber LLC. BACKGROUND In 2011, the City of San Leandro entered into a License Agreement with San Leandro Dark Fiber, LLC (SLDF) to build a fiber optic infrastructure that would accelerate the City’s economic goals of attracting new businesses and investment. In addition to promoting growth and creating jobs in the industrial sector, the extensive conduit network infrastructure also provides the opportunity for schools, the community, and businesses throughout the City to easily connect to high-speed internet communication service. SLDF has already installed several connections off the main fiber network and has completed plans to install fiber in the Marina expansion with the emergence of customers along that route.
