If the agreement is <br />considered a project, it is exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(c) (Existing facilities) Class 1 <br />because it consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing or minor alteration <br />of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features <br />involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use, in that it involves the construction, <br />installation, maintenance, and operation of fiber optic network facilities within the City’s public right-of <br />way. <br />PUBLIC NOTICE <br />Public notification was achieved by posting the agenda, with the agenda items being listed, at least 72 <br />hours prior to the meeting. <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />The City Council may choose not to approve the agreement, or direct staff to renegotiate the terms of the <br />agreement.
