Committee advances renewal license for telecom equipment at 99 Moultrie in Bernal Heights
Summary
The committee moved forward a license renewal with American Towers for equipment at 99 Moultrie (Bernal Heights); term runs through May 31, 2037 with two five-year options, monthly rent set at $2,100 (with CPI adjustments calculated against a $1,400 base).
The Budget and Finance Committee advanced a renewal license agreement with American Towers for telecommunications equipment located at 99 Moultrie in Bernal Heights Park.
John Updike, Acting Director of Real Estate, described the agreement’s key terms: a term certain through May 31, 2037, two city-discretion five-year renewal options, a clear pricing schedule of $2,100 per month inclusive of utility costs, and a CPI increase mechanism calculated against a $1,400 monthly base (a 4% increase applied to the $1,400 base is added to the $2,100 rate in subsequent years). The agreement expands the number of dishes and transmitters the city can host and is intended to accommodate multiple city departments including the SFMTA and Department of Technology.
A supervisor asked whether the 4% increase applied to a portion of the $2,100 or to the $1,400 base; Updike clarified that the CPI increase is calculated against the $1,400 base and then added to the $2,100 monthly amount in the following year.
No members of the public spoke on the item. The committee moved item 2 forward to the full Board with a recommendation and recorded the action as taken "without objection." The budget analyst report was not required for this item because it did not meet the reporting threshold noted by the clerk.
The full Board will consider the license renewal at its next scheduled agenda.
