Approval of a Resolution Amending the Public Works Department Administrative Policy Fees to Provide a New Fee for Use of the Right-of-Way (ROW) and City Property by Telecommunications Service Providers
a. Resolution No. 1569: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Redmond, Washington, Amending the User Fee Schedule for Public Works to Modify and Add a Fee Associated with Usage of the Rights of Way and City Property by Telecommunications Service Providers
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
In 2018, the City Council approved modifications to both the Redmond Zoning Code and the Redmond Municipal Code to enable deployment of small cell facilities within the City ROW.
Chapter 12.14 of the Redmond Municipal Code states that an applicant for a small cell facility on city-owned property within the public ways must obtain a Facilities Lease that allows the attachment of the small cell facility to City-owned property.
The Facilities Lease is the Master License Agreement, which will be revised to include a new fee for annual rental of City-owned conduit and power cables by 5G small cell telecommunications service providers. This resolution amends the existing "Public Works Department Administrative Policy Fees" document to create this new fee. This will facilitate installation and deployment of small cell facilities on City-owned street light poles within the City ROW.
