AGENDA STATEMENT |
| | | | | | | | Item No. 9.
For Meeting of: April 6, 2021 |
| | | | | | | | | ITEM TITLE: | Resolution authorizing a Master License Agreement with Yakima MSA Limited Partnership for use of the City’s rights-of-way to install, maintain, and operate small cell wireless facilities | | SUBMITTED BY: | Sara Watkins, City Attorney |
| SUMMARY EXPLANATION: | | Yakima MSA Limited Partnership seeks to utilize the City’s rights-of-way to install, operate and maintain a 5G wireless system. It intends to mainly utilize utility poles owned by third parties (such as CenturyLink), but may seek to utilize the City’s poles as well. The Agreement outlines the terms and conditions of using the rights-of-way, the requirements for using City-owned poles, and the costs and fees associated with said use. Nothing in the Agreement avoids the zoning requirements of Chapter 15.29 of the Yakima Municipal Code. This Agreement is substantially similar to the one previously approved by Council for New Cingular Wireless and Verizon. |
