ITEM TITLE: Resolution authorizing a Master License Agreement with Verizon
Wireless for use of the City's rights -of -way to install, maintain, and
operate small cell wireless facilities
SUBMITTED BY: Sara Watkins, Senior Assistant City Attorney
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Verizon Wireless 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.

term, the term will automatically renew for consecutive five (5) year periods, upon the
same terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, subject to increases in license
fees as outlined in this Agreement, and provided the Agreement has not been
terminated or expired at the time of automatic renewal.
(c)
Termination of Supplemental Licenses — A Supplemental License may be terminated
prior to the expiration of the Term: (i) by Licensor upon notice to Licensee, if
Licensee fails to pay any amount when due hereunder concerning the applicable
Communication Facility and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after Licensee's
receipt of written notice of nonpayment from Licensor; or (ii) by either Party upon
notice to the other Party, if such other Party materially breaches any provision of this
5
Agreement concerning the applicable Communication Facility and the breach not cured
within sixty (60) days after receipt of written notice of the breach from the non -
breaching Party; or (iii) by Licensee, at any time, with or without cause, upon notice
to Licensor.
(d) Effect of Termination — All Annual License Fees paid prior to the expiration or earlier
termination of the Supplemental License shall be retained by Licensor. Within
thirty (30) days after such expiration or earlier termination, Licensee shall provide the
City Representative with a schedule and timeline for removing the Communication
Facility that is reasonably acceptable to the City Representative, excluding certain
subsurface infrastructure, the permanent abandonment of which shall be deemed to
occur on the 120th day after removal of the above -surface portions of the
Communication Facility and shall be deemed a transfer of ownership of such
subsurface infrastructure to the City and be deemed no longer part of the
Communication Facility, provided, however, that permanent abandonment shall not be
deemed to occur with respect to any portions expressly excluded from abandonment as
specified in a notice from Licensee to Licensor during the 120-day period or as
otherwise agreed to in writing between the Parties. Licensee shall continue to be liable
to Licensor for the Annual License Fee prorated for every month that such
Communication Facility remains in the Rights -of -Way and the Supplemental License
shall be deemed to remain in effect until it is removed. After such removal, the
Supplemental License shall be of no further force or effect and Licensee shall have no
further obligations for the payment of Annual License Fees to Licensor in connection
therewith.
(e) If City decides at any time to abandon any Pole, and it is not necessary to remove said
pole in the sole determination of the City, it shall give the Licensee notice in writing or
by electronic means at least ninety (90) days prior to the date on which it intends to
abandon such pole. If, at the expiration of said period, the City and any third parties
have no attachments on such pole, Licensee shall have the option of acquiring ownership
of the pole by paying City a mutually agreed upon price.
(f) Any holding over by Licensee after expiration or termination of this Agreement shall
not be considered as a renewal or extension of this Agreement. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement and any associated Supplemental License,
the occupancy of each Site after expiration or termination of this Agreement shall
continue, and all other terms and conditions of this Agreement shall continue in full
force and effect; provided, however, City shall have the right to apply a reasonable
increase in the Annual License Fee to bring the Annual License Fee to fair market value,
except to the extent that the Annual License Fee for a Site would be, in the absence of
this Agreement, governed by law or regulation, in which case the Annual License Fee
will be set in accordance with such law or regulation. Upon expiration or termination
of this Agreement, the Parties will negotiate in good faith the terms of a replacement
agreement. If the Parties have not reached a replacement agreement after one hundred
eighty (180) days of good faith negotiations, City may thereafter terminate the holdover
with an additional sixty (60) days written notice. Calculation of all prorated Annual
6
License Fees under this Section shall be based on a 30-day month. Notice of any
permitted increase in the Annual License Fee under this Section shall be given in writing
at least thirty (30) days prior to becoming effective.
SECTION 5. LICENSE FEES
(a) Annual License Fee — The Annual License Fee per Communication Site shall be Two
Hundred Seventy and 00/100 Dollars ($270.00) and includes all structure, infrastructure,
appurtenant equipment and facilities available at the approved site. If the Site does not
have the necessary infrastructure or facilities for Licensee's intended use, the cost to
bring those facilities to the Site shall be paid by the Licensee. Further, if the applicable
City poles will not meet State, local or Federal standards, or standards of any State or
Federal agency solely as a result of Licensee's proposed installation, Licensee shall, at
its sole cost, bring the applicable poles into compliance with all such required standards,
prior to Licensee's installation. The Annual License Fee shall not be prorated.
(b) Timing of License Fee Payments — Licensee shall pay in advance to Licensor the
Annual License Fee for the coming year for each Communication Site. The Annual
License Fee for all Communication Sites installed during any given month will
commence and be due on the first day of the following month (the "License Fee
Commencement Date"). Thereafter, on each annual anniversary of License Fee
Commencement Date, Licensee shall pay Licensor the Annual License Fees.
(c) Late Payment Interest — Any Annual License Fees not paid within fifteen (15) days of
receipt of written notice of non-payment will be assessed a rate of 10% per annum from
that date.
(d) Annual License Fees to Licensor — Licensee shall pay Licensor the fees specified in
this Section in the form of a money transfer or a check made out to the order of the
City of Yakima and sent to:
City of Yakima
c/o Public Works Director
2301 Fruitvale, Ave.
Yakima, WA 98902
(e) Periodic Increase in Annual License Fee -- The Annual License Fee shall be
reviewed each year and increased to the maximum license fee allowed by law or regulation.
In the event there is no maximum license fee, the Annual License Fee shall increase 3% from
the previous yearly fee.
SECTION 6. APPROVAL OF COMMUNICATION SITES
(a) Communication Site Application — Licensee shall file with the City Representative a
Communication Site Application for every proposed Communication Site as outlined
in the Yakima Municipal Code as it now exists or is hereafter amended.
7
(b) Communication Site Approval Process — Upon filing of a Communication Site
Application, the City Representative shall process the Communication Site Application
pursuant to the Yakima Municipal Code as it now exists or is hereafter amended.
(1) Rights -of -Way Determination — The Licensor will determine whether the
location (and any existing pole) identified by Licensee as a Communication Site is
within City Rights -of -Way.
(2) Ownership of City Pole — The Licensor will confirm the ownership of any City
pole identified for installation of the Communication Facility. If a pole is a City
pole, the requirements of Section 8 must be met.
(3) Site Eligibility — Licensor shall determine whether a requested pole or the location
for the installation for a new pole is eligible as a Communication Site based on space
availability or other considerations. In addition, Licensor must determine whether
public safety considerations prevent eligibility of a pole as a Communication Site.
Concerning a request to install a new pole, Licensor shall determine whether Rights -
of -Way Regulations and availability of Rights -of -Way prevent the pole installation
at the requested location. Any poles added by Licensee shall be pre -approved by
Licensor prior to being installed. Installation of poles and facilities shall be at
Licensee's sole risk and responsibility and in accordance with all necessary permits
and applicable regulations related thereto. Licensor uses of its poles shall take
priority and all other uses and facilities shall be placed to accommodate Licensor's
facilities and use of the pole, as directed by Licensor.
(4) Review Criteria — For each Communication Site Application, the City
Representative shall:
a. Verify that the Communication Site Application is complete. b.
Review engineering design documents to determine:
i. compliance with contractual requirements under this Agreement;
and
ii. no interference with City public safety radio system, traffic signal light
system, or other communications components; and
iii. compliance with City pole attachment regulations for traffic light
poles, including replacement of an electric meter with dual meters, if
and as applicable.
c. Determine compliance with any other applicable requirements.
All Communication Site Applications requesting access to a City pole must include
a load bearing study to determine whether the attachment of the Communication
Facility may proceed without pole modification or whether the installation will
8
require pole reinforcement or replacement. If pole reinforcement or replacement is
necessary, Licensee shall provide engineering design and specification drawings
demonstrating the proposed alteration to the pole.
As appropriate, the City Representative shall require Licensee to make design
modifications in order to comply with applicable contractual, regulatory, or legal
requirements. Failure to make the requested design modifications shall result in an
incomplete Communication Site Application which may not be processed under
this Agreement.
(5) Approval of Application — Upon finding that the Communication Site
Application is complete and in compliance with all applicable requirements as
outlined above, the City Representative shall approve such Communication Site
application. The approval of the Communication Site Application requesting to
attach to a City pole, or to install a new pole, shall authorize Licensee to proceed to
obtain all generally applicable, ministerial permits that are required of all occupants
of the Public Rights -of -Way, if required (collectively, "ROW Permit"). Licensee
shall comply with the requirements of the Rights -of -Way Regulations. Licensee
shall pay all appropriate Washington standard promulgated one-time ROW Permit
fees ("ROW Permit Fees"), if required. In no event shall Licensor treat Licensee's
Communication Site Applications or ROW Permit applications in a more
burdensome manner than Licensor treats Public Rights -of -Way access permits of all
other public utilities and telecommunications services providers. Upon obtaining a
ROW Permit, Licensee may proceed to install the Communication Facility in
coordination with any affected City departments.
(6) Execution of Supplemental License — Upon approval of the Communication Site
Application, the Parties shall execute a Supplemental License, which shall be
effective as of the date of application approval.
SECTION 7. CONSTRUCTION WORK -REGULATION BY CITY
(a) Compliance with Law Required — The work done by Licensee in connection with the
installation, construction, maintenance, repair, and operation of Communication
Facility within the Public Rights -of -Way shall be subject to and governed by all
pertinent local and state laws, rules, regulations, including the City's Rights- of -Way
Regulations, that are applicable to ensuring the work done does not unduly
inconvenience the public in the use of the surface of the streets and sidewalks, and at
the expense of the Licensee.
(b) Duty to Minimize Interference — All pole excavations, construction activities, and
aerial installations in the Rights -of -Way shall be carried on as to minimize interference
with the use of City's Rights -of -Way and with the use of private property, in
accordance with all regulations of the City necessary to provide for public health,
safety and convenience.

SECTION 8. CONSTRUCTION, RESTORATION AND MAINTENACE
ACTIVITIES
(a) Eligibility of City Pole — Prior to submitting a Communication Site Application related
to the use of a City pole, Licensee shall verify with the City the eligibility of the
specified pole for attachment of the Communication Facility. City has the sole
authority to determine whether a pole is eligible or ineligible for use under this
agreement. In addition, Licensee shall conduct an engineering load bearing study to
determine whether the pole can withstand the added weight of the Communication
Facility. If the proposed installation will require pole reinforcement or replacement,
the engineering design documents included with the Communication Site Application
shall include specifications relating to the proposed pole reinforcement or replacement.
Construction activities involving pole reinforcement or replacement shall be
coordinated with applicable City personnel and the Rights -of -Way Manager.
(b) Compliance with Rights -of -Way Regulations — In the installation, construction,
maintenance, upgrade, and operation of a Communication Facility, Licensee shall
comply with the provisions of the Rights -of -Way Regulations and permit
requirements, including but not limited to provisions and permits pertaining to the
following activities:
(1) construction activities related to the installation, maintenance, repair,
upgrade, and removal of Communication Facility on existing poles in the
Rights -of -Way;
(2) installation of new poles in the Rights -of -Way;

engineering plans to the Rights -of -Way Manager for review and approval in
accordance with the Rights -of -Way Regulations.
(d) Identification of Utility Lines — Prior to beginning any excavation or boring
project on Public Rights -of -Way, Licensee shall engage a utility locator service.
Licensee has the responsibility to protect and support the various utility facilities of
other providers while conducting construction, installation, and maintenance
10
operations.
(e) Maintenance and Repair of Communication Facility — Licensee shall keep and
maintain all Communication Facilities installed on Public Rights -of -Way in
commercially reasonable condition and repair throughout the Term, normal wear and
tear and casualty excepted. Licensee shall have the right to conduct testing and
maintenance activities, and repair and replace damaged or malfunctioning
Communication Facility, or portions thereof, with equipment that is of the same like
and kind, at any time during the Tenn without a permit from the City. Verbal or email
consent is acceptable for maintenance purposes not requiring a permit. In those cases,
if a written request for consent is received by the City and no response is provided to
Licensee within five business days, consent is presumed to have been given. Written

Upgrade of Communication Facility — Licensee shall have the right to upgrade the
Communication Facility with next -generation equipment and innovative new
technologies without City's consent; provided, however, that prior to making any such
equipment or technology upgrade that materially changes the size or weight of any
portion of the Communication Facility, Licensee shall file a Communication Facility
Application with the City Representative, who shall review the application for
compliance with the permitted use under this Agreement and to verify that the new
installation will not cause any interference with City's public safety communications
system, traffic light signal system, or other City communications infrastructure
operating on spectrum where the City is legally authorized to operate. Licensee
will address any interference issues prior to approval of such application.
Coordination of Maintenance and Equipment Upgrade Activities — Prior to
Licensee engaging in planned or routine maintenance activities, or equipment
upgrades concerning Communication Facility attached to a City traffic light pole,
Licensee shall provide twenty (20) days advance notice to the City Representative in
order to coordinate such maintenance activities with City operations of the traffic light
system or other public safety functions. Licensee shall obtain all necessary permits
prior to engaging in any maintenance or equipment upgrade activities in the Rights- of-
11
Way regardless of pole ownership. Such twenty (20) day advance notice shall not be
required in the case of an emergency.
(h) Removal of Non -Compliant Installations — The City shall have the authority at any
time to order and require Licensee to remove and abate any Communication Facility
or other structure that is in violation of the City's Rights -of -Way Regulations. In case
Licensee, after receipt of written notice and thirty (30) days opportunity to cure, fails
or refuses to comply, the City shall have the authority to remove the same at the
expense of Licensee, all without compensation or liability for damages to Licensee.
(i)
Reservation of Rights — The City reserves the right to install, and permit others to
install utility facilities in the Rights -of -Way. In permitting such work to be done by
others, the City shall not be liable to Licensee for any damage caused by those persons
or entities.
(j) No Limitation in City's Operation of Traffic Light Signal System — The Parties
agree that this Agreement does not in any way limit Licensor's right to locate, operate,
maintain, and remove City traffic light poles in the manner that best enables the
operation of its traffic light signal system and protect public safety. The City
Representative may deny access to City traffic light poles due to operational
conditions at the requested site, limited space availability, public safety concerns,
future traffic signal system planning, or other operational considerations related to
public safety or traffic. Further, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as
granting Licensee any attachment right to install a Communication Facility to any
specific traffic light pole, other than those set forth in an approved Communication
Site Application and execution of the corresponding Supplemental License under the
terms of this Agreement.
(k) Coordination of Traffic Light Maintenance Activities and Emergency
Response — Prior to conducting planned or routine maintenance on specific
components of the traffic light signal system mounted on poles where a
Communication Facility has been installed, the City shall provide Licensee thirty (30)
days advance written notice of such maintenance activities. In advance of such
maintenance activities, Licensee shall temporarily cut-off electricity to its
Communication Facility for the safety of maintenance personnel. In the event of
failure of components of the traffic light signal system for whatever reason,
including damage resulting from vehicular collisions, weather related events, or
malicious attacks, Licensor will respond to restore traffic light signal operations as a
matter of public safety under the emergency provisions outlined in Section 12. Should
the events that result in damage or failure of the traffic light signal system also affect
the Communication Facility, Licensee shall have the sole responsibility to repair or
replace its Communication Facility and shall coordinate its own emergency efforts
with the City.
(1) Relocation
12
In the event the City desires to replace, relocate, improve, or modify the Right -of -Way, or
demolish any pole owned by the City and used by Licensee, in connection with any type of
public improvement project, in a manner likely to cause interference with the Communication
Facility thereon, the City shall have the right to cause Licensee to relocate the Communication
Facility subject to the terms and conditions herein.
(a) Relocation. If the City requires Licensee to relocate Communication
Facility from all or any portion of a City pole, the City shall have the right to require Licensee
to relocate to an alternative space upon the following terms and conditions. (i) City shall deliver to
Licensee a relocation notice to relocate the Communication facility at least ninety (90) days from the
date on which Licensee must relocate the Communication Facility; (ii) City shall identify a
suitable relocation space to ensure that it provides substantially similar signal coverage for the
Licensee as that of the space being relocated; (iii) such relocation will be performed exclusively
by Licensee with costs paid by Licensee; (iv) Licensee shall have the right to operate a
temporary cell site if feasible in a mutually agreeable location in the vicinity of the original pole
or space during such relocation with no additional fee due to City; and (v) the Annual License
Fee applicable to such new space shall not be payable until the Licensee achieves full on -air
operation in the ordinary course of Licensee's business in the relocated space. Licensee shall
not be required to pay any additional application, review or other fees in connection with any
relocation initiated by City. If, in Licensee's reasonable judgment, no suitable relocation space
can be found, then Licensee shall have the right to terminate the applicable Supplemental
License for which City is requiring relocation upon written notice to the City, and without
penalty or further obligation.
(b) Relocation In The Event of An Emergency. Notwithstanding Section
(1)(a) above, in the event of an emergency, the City will endeavor to provide as much notice to
Licensee for the relocation of the Communication Facility as warranted by the circumstances
pertaining to the emergency.
SECTION 9. SUPERVISION BY CITY OF LOCATION OF POLES
(a) Supervision by Rights -of -Way Manager — In the event Licensee desires to install
poles on Public Rights -of -Way in order to install a Communication Facility at a selected
Communication Site, such poles shall be owned and maintained by Licensee. Such poles shall
be of adequate strength and straight, and shall be set so that they will not interfere with the flow
of water in any gutter or drain, so that they will not interfere with any other existing utilities or
