Item No. 6.E.
For Meeting of: February 5, 2019
ITEM TITLE: Resolution authorizing a Master License Agreement with New
Cingular Wireless for use of the City's right-of-way
SUBMITTED BY: Sara Watkins, Senior Assistant City Attorney
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
New Cingular 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.

RESOLUTION NO. R-2019-
A RESOLUTION authorizing a Master License Agreement with New Cingular Wireless for
use of the City's rights-of-way to install, maintain, and operate small cell
wireless facilities.
WHEREAS, small cell wireless facilities create opportunities for increased wireless service
to residents of Yakima; and
WHEREAS, New Cingular Wireless seeks to utilize utility poles within the City's rights-of-
way to install small cell wireless facilities; and
WHEREAS, rather than requiring New Cingular Wireless to file for a new right-of-way
use permit each time it seeks to install, maintain, or repair a small cell wireless facility it is more
efficient to enter into a Master License Agreement covering the use of rights-of-way within the
City; and
WHEREAS, this Master License Agreement does not allow New Cingular Wireless to
avoid the wireless facilities zoning requirements found in Yakima Municipal Code section 15.29,
nor does it allow New Cingular Wireless to use City-owned utility poles without the consent of
the City; and
WHEREAS, under the Agreement each small cell facility must pay a yearly license fee;
and
WHEREAS, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has created a number of
regulations limiting the scope of charges and restrictions a municipality can place on small cell
wireless facilities; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Yakima finds that it is in the best interest of the
City and its residents to enter into a Master License Agreement with New Cingular Wireless to
operate within the rights-of-way under the Agreement's terms and conditions; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF YAKIMA:
The City Manager is hereby authorized to execute the Master License Agreement between the
City of Yakima and New Cingular Wireless outlining the terms and conditions of operating within
the City rights-of-way and utilizing utility poles within the rights-of-way. A copy of the Master
License Agreement is attached hereto and fully incorporated herein.
ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL this 5'h day of February, 2019.

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 agreement after one hundred
eighty (180) days of good faith negotiations, City may thereafter terminate the

SECTION 6. APPROVAL OF COMMUNICATION SITES
(a) Communication Site Application —Licensee shall file with the City Representative
7
io
a Communication Site Application for every proposed Communication Site as
outlined in the Yakima Municipal Code as it now exists or is hereafter amended.
(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.
8
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
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.

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.
9
12
(b) Duty to Minimize Interference—All pole excavations, construction activities, and
aerial installations on poles 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.

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
11
14
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. Further,
nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as granting Licensee any attachment
right to install Communication Facility to any specific traffic light pole, other than
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
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 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.
(I) Relocation
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 therein, the City shall have the right to cause Licensee to relocate
the Communication Facility subject to the terms and conditions herein.

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
12
15
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 (I)(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.
