ITEM TITLE:
4/5THS VOTE: YES [gI NO 0
BACKGROUND
In March 2006, Cricket Communications approached the City with a proposal for a Wireless
Telecommunications Facility (WTF) at Gayle McCand1iss Park. After several location and
antenna options were discussed, the City and Cricket agreed upon the installation of their WTF
antennas inside the top portion of a new light standard to be installed in the park near the
entrance.
At the City's request, to assist with the funding of future park improvements, the Schedule of
Premises (SOP) agreed to by the City of Chu1a Vista and Cricket Communications, for the
installation of the wireless facility in this park, states that Cricket will provide full payment for
the 5-year lease of the site from the City in one lump sum and an additional $12,000 for two new
light fixtures. This amount totals $120,014.00 and was received from Cricket and processed by
the City on January 6, 2007.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a
"Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Pursuant to Section
15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no
environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the resolution.
