I merely coordinate the process. Staff do try hard to site cell facilities on City property <br /> not only for the revenue of course but also because the council values co-locations and mitigation of single monopoles <br /> (especially in residential areas) and we'll often give a price break to accomplish that (e.g., siting a facility on a street pole <br /> next to the cemetery at 49th and Willamette when a monopole could likely have been legally sited in the middle of that <br /> residential area). <br /> I have contract files on tower facilities at Wastewater (ATT and Sprint), underground fiber in the ridgeline park area, <br /> several co-locations on street lights, a pending co-location on a ball field light, a monopole at the Airport. The County uses <br /> their Publis Works property at Delta for a pole. EWEB allows co-locations on several electric poles and their water tower. <br /> There are also pay phones in City buildings and at the Airport for which 'rent' is paid.

I think that Wastewater has a tower lease. I copied Pam as she is usually involved when <br /> one of the carriers want to locate on City property. Pam may have a better feel of what's going on City-wide.

If not, you know who is? I <br /> just say "no" when the applications come in. <br /> 1 <br /> <br />
