New Telecommunications Lease with Crown Castle GT Company LLC at City of Redmond Fire Station 14.
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
The City of Redmond has an existing lease with Crown Castle GT Company LLC to operate a wireless telecommunications facility at City of Redmond Fire Station 14, located at 5021 264th Ave. NE. The original lease in place since 1998, now assigned to Crown Castle after Crown's parent company acquired the original leaseholder, GTE West, expired on June 30, 2023. A holdover clause allows for Crown to continue to operate the lease until renewal is approved or denied. To continue using their leasehold area at Fire Station 14, Crown Castle needs approval of a new lease by the City.
Crown Castle's existing wireless facility consists of a ground pad with control boxes, a concrete pedestal, and a monopole mast with telecommunications arrays leased to existing wireless telecommunication subtenants, currently AT&T and T-Mobile. There are no plans to make any physical changes to the existing monopole structure; however, Crown Castle also has a Master License Agreement with DISH Wireless, LLC that will allow for DISH to go onto the tower, once this lease is approved, and subsequently the City of Redmond - DISH lease is approved under a separate action. Under the new lease terms, there are no changes to the existing infrastructure or footprint of Crown Castle's leasehold area.
