New Telecommunications Lease with DISH Wireless LLC at City of Redmond Fire Station 14.
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
The City of Redmond manages a wireless telecommunications facility lease with Crown Castle, as primary tenant, at Fire Station 14. The facility consists of ground station equipment pads, ground equipment, a pedestal or a monopole, and a monopole with wireless communications antennas installed. Currently there are two tenants, AT&T and T-Mobile. Previous tenants included Sprint Nextel and Clearwire, both absorbed by T-Mobile. Both firms' equipment was removed, opening up ground space and pole capacity for DISH to install equipment without changing the physical conditions of the entire facility.
DISH Wireless LLC desires to install equipment in spaces available on the ground and on the monopole, and as noted above, capacity is available for DISH to install without making any changes to Crown's existing footprint.
As noted in the memo for Crown Castle, this DISH lease should only be approved if the Crown Castle lease is approved, under a separate action.
