  1. CONCUR with the Board of Water and Power Commissioners' (Board) action of February 13, 2018, Resolution No. 018-144, as amended, authorizing the use of alternative delivery processes to award contracts for projects related to the Mainline Replacement Program, Trunk Line Replacement Program, Mid-Valley and Western District Operations and Maintenance Facilities, water quality laboratory, and the Fairmont Reservoir Water Quality Treatment Facility.

CD 11

CONTINUED CONSIDERATION OF CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION and TRADE, TRAVEL, AND TOURISM COMMITTEE REPORT relative to Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) license agreements with New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC, Sprint/United Management Company, T-Mobile West, LLC, and Los Angeles SMSA Limited Partnership d.b.a. Verizon Wireless to operate cellular communication systems and sites at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

 

Recommendations for Council action:

 

  1. ADOPT the determination by the Board of Airport Commissioners that the proposed action is categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with Article III Class 1 (18)(c) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines.

  2. APPROVE the LAWA license agreements with New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC, Sprint/United Management Company, T-Mobile West LLC, and Los Angeles SMSA Limited Partnership d.b.a. Verizon Wireless to operate cellular communication systems and sites at LAX.

  3. CONCUR with the action taken by the Board of Airport Commissioners on March 1, 2018 by Resolution No. 26448 authorizing the Chief Executive Officer, LAWA, to execute Non-Exclusive License Agreements with New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC, Sprint/United Management Company, T-Mobile West LLC, and Los Angeles SMSA Limited Partnership d.b.a. Verizon Wireless to operate cellular communication systems and sites at LAX for eleven and one-half years with two five-year renewal options.

Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Administrative Officer reports that this action will not impact the General Fund. Approval of the license agreements will allow the companies to install and operate cellular communication systems at locations (designated Zones and Macro Sites) on the LAX campus. The negotiated license fees per zone and per Macro Site are $69,000 annually. LAWA Department staff anticipates annual revenue of approximately $1.9 million from license fees and $200,000 from space rent when the cellular systems are deployed fully in at least seven zones. The license agreements comply with LAWA’s financial policies.

 

Community Impact Statement: None submitted.
