Overview
Overview
On July 23, 2018, the Board adopted Ordinance Number 18-393 to regulate small wireless facilities installations in the Village pursuant to state law. The ordinance requires any entity seeking to install facilities on Village property to enter into a license agreement with the Village. The proposed License Agreement with SMSA Limited Partnership D/B/A Verizon Wireless ("Verizon") is pursuant to that Ordinance.

Body

Adopt the Resolution.

Fiscal Impact
The Village will receive $200 per year as permitted by state law for any pole attachment by Verizon under the Agreement and associated permit fees.

The License Agreement with Verizon follows the requirements of state law and the Village's ordinance. A list of sites Verizon proposes to install pole attachments is attached to the Agreement as Exhibit A. This will be the second such agreement subject to the Village's ordinance. The first was with Crown Castle NG Central LLC ("Crown Castle") which was approved by the Board on February 19, 2019.
