Negotiate lease agreements for future installations on public land that generate revenue or other tangible benefit to the community. All proposed cell tower installations on City -owned land currently require a lease agreement with the City. The specific terms and conditions of the subject lease agreements are negotiated with each cell tower carrier. The City receives revenue from these agreements. 3. Add cell tower maintenance and removal provisions if they are not already included in existing ordinance and lease agreements. The City of Redwood City currently has regulations within its "Wireless Communications Facilities Ordinance" (regulating cell towers) which provide for the maintenance and removal of discontinued and abandoned wireless communication facilities. This provision is currently incorporated to the permits issued by Redwood City Planning Services, as well as to the lease agreements for cell towers (Attachment B, Articles 38.6 & 38.7 of the Redwood City Zoning Ordinance). In the table of the Grand Jury report entitled "Cell Tower Cities and County Survey Responses ", the response to the question in the column asking: "Is there a provision requiring service providers to remove cell towers if obsolete or a use permit ends" should therefore be corrected to state: "Yes', instead of "No ", for Redwood City. 4. Require that all new lease agreements contain a provision requiring service providers to install newer technology as it becomes commercially available. to reduce the footprint of cell towers. All approved cell tower agreements on Redwood City lands currently incorporate such provisions. (Attachment C, Technological Upgrade Provision in City Agreements for Cell Towers). 5.

The City of Redwood City's "Wireless Communications Facilities Ordinance" (Article 38 of the Redwood City Zoning Ordinance) is currently accessible via the City's webpage.
