AGENDA REPORT
To: Mayor Campbell and Members of the City Council
From: Dan Dorsey, Acting City Manager
Subject: PROPOSED INSTALLATION OF CELLULAR POLE
AND ANTENNA AT ZOETER FIELD
SUMMARY OF REQUEST
Representatives from Airtouch(Verizon) Wireless have contacted the City Manager's
office during the past few weeks in order to ascertain the feasibility of installing a cellular
pole and antenna at Zoeter Field. Staff is requesting City Council authorization to
research and, if warranted, negotiate a proposed contract with Airtouch Wireless.
BACKGROUND
The City of Seal Beach currently has contracts with five cellular companies; three poles
and antennas are located at the Beverly Manor site adjacent to the 405 Freeway and two
other antennas are located on top of the tower at City Hall. These latter two are relatively
unobtrusive. Staff believes that the installation of a cellular pole and antenna at Zoeter
Field can also be accomplished in an unobtrusive manner.
FISCAL IMPACT
Airtouch Wireless is prepared to pay the City of Seal Beach an annual rent of$36,000 as
well as a"signing bonus" of$20,000.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council authorize staff to research and, if warranted, negotiate a proposed contract
between Airtouch Wireless and City of Seal Beach regarding the installation of a cellular
pole and antenna at Zoeter Field.
Respectfully submitted,
