Burbank Water and Power (BWP) is committed to creating a work environment that poses zero harm to people, the environment and property. BWP achieves this goal by:
Continual improvement through setting objective s to eliminate hazards and reduce EHS risk. Meeting applicable compliance obligations.
Fostering a culture of shar ed responsibility and employee participation for the success of BWP’s EHS programs.
Reliability
Reliability is measured by the ti me required to restore lighting a fter a streetlight is reported as out of service. BWP’s goal is for all streetlights to be replaced within 24 hours of being reported out of service during a weekday and to have no st reetlight be out of service for more than 72 hours.
Customer Service
BWP’s goal is to meet customer commitments 100% of the time.
Illumination Levels
Illumination levels shall conform to BWP’s design standards for roadway lighting set forth herein.
Illumination Quality
Illumination quality shall be pleasing to customers and shall allow colors to be distinguished.
Aesthetics
The streetlight standards, mast arms, and luminaires shall enhance the appearance of the community. Streetlight wiring shall be undergrounded in aesthet ically-sensitive areas, if feasible.
Energy Efficiency
The street lighting system shall incorporate all cost-effective energy-efficiency options.
Cost
Streetlight costs shall be in line with the approved budgets. The streetlight fund shall maintain a reserve to cover at least 60 days of operating expenses.

6 3.0 BASIC ELEMENTS OF PRESENT-DAY STREETLIGHT SYSTEM
The street lighting system has several components:
The wiring circuit, which connects the streetlight to the local distribution system supplying power to it.
The luminaire, which is the st reetlight itself, together with the lens, the enclosure, the ballast (driver), and the photocell.
The street lighting standard, which is the structure supporting the streetlight. The substructure, which includes the foundat ion, and if applicable, pull boxes and conduits allowing for the energization of underground system.
Figure 1 illustrates these components as they apply within a typical residential neighborhood.
Figure 1: Typical Street Lighting Connection
PHOTOCELL
ATTACHMENT 1
A1-6
7 Wiring Circuits
Most of the streetlight wiring in residential neighborhoods is overhead. For much of Toluca Lake, the newer hillside developments, the Ben Ma r Hills area, and a few other scattered neighborhoods, the streetlight wiring is underground. Most of the streetlight wiring in commercial areas is overhead, but it is underground for recently-redeveloped areas such as the Downtown Burbank, the Media District, and the Burbank Empire Center. BW P Rules and Regulations 1 require new developments to u nderground streetlight facilities along the perimeter of their property.
120V Circuits
Most of the City’s streetlights (8865 out of approximately 9701) receive power at 120 volts (V) from the local low-voltage system. Each streetlight is connected to a photocell that turns it on around dusk and turns it off around dawn. Figure 2 below shows a typical streetlight photocell.
Figure 2: Typical Streetlight Photocell
240V and 480V Circuits
Approximately 836 streetlights, all of them being arterial and collector type, receive power at 240V or 480V. These voltages are used where 120 V is unavailable or for circuits of long distance where voltage drop is a concern.
Luminaires
Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology is the adopt ed standard for new streetlight installations in the City. LED streetlights offer several benefits including:
Less energy consumption – LED streetlights consume less than half of the energy required by older technologies, which will hel p shorten the “neck of the duck curve” and reduce the amount of energy generation BWP needs.
Increased longevity – LED streetlights also last up to four times longer, reducing maintenance costs and improving service.
Better color rendition – LED streetlights have better color rendition and lighting uniformity that results in fewer hotspots and dark areas. LED streetlights are available in a range of
1 BWP Rules and Regulations 3.19(c)(4)
ATTACHMENT 1
A1-7
8 color temperatures from 2700 Kelvin (warm white) to 6500 Kelvin (cool white). BWP chooses 4000 Kelvin for LED streetlights, because it offers the greatest balance of energy efficiency and color rendering, while maintaining a pleas ing illumination. W hen BWP replaces 2200 Kelvin HPS decorative streetlights, BWP can choose a warmer than 4000 Kelvin temperature.
Reduced light spillage – LED streetlights are directional, focus the light directly downward, and have a well-defined surface-li ghting area. Therefore, light spillage is minimized by the internal optics of the fixture.
Figure 3: LED vs HPS Streetlight
As of May 2024, approximately 93% of the streetlights in Bur bank are LED. The remaining streetlights are high pressure sodium (HPS), me tal halide (MH), and fluor escent (FLO), which are all less-efficient. BWP replaces all non-LED streetlights with LED streetlights.

Table 1: 2024 Streetlight Standards and Mast Arms Count in Burbank Streetlights on wood poles are installed using mast arms and are ideal in areas (such as alleys) where there are power poles that are already supporting conductors. Mast arms are available in different lengths, for different street types. Safety lights on traffic standards are installed in intersections using mast arms on traffic posts.
Decorative standards in the City are of various shapes and heights.

Marbelite standards are 25 feet and 9
inches concrete octagonal poles with 8-
foot mast arms installed mostly in
residential neighborhoods (See Figure 7
and Figure 8). Since they cannot be
repainted, BWP st arted ordering
Marbelites with an anti-graffiti coating in
2006.

Post
Figure 10: Single-Pole (3-Ring Halo) Post Locations Map The Single-Pole (or 3-Ring Halo) is
installed around the Burbank Mall and
Third Street (see Figure 10). It has a steel
construction with a V-shape luminaire
lighting downward (See Figure 9). These
standards were installed in the 1990s as
part of the downtown development. In the
past, some of the posts showed signs of
rusting at the base. To prevent this issue
in the future, BWP changed the stock
specifications from steel to stainless
steel. As noted above, new installations
shall have LED lighting. This setup has
been used for Talaria Burbank on Olive
Avenue and Alameda Avenue, and along
First St and Third St in Downtown
Burbank (See Figure 10). BWP will be
retrofitting the lumina ires with brighter
LED fixtures.

Streetlight Foundations
In 2024, BWP commissioned a foundation analysis study of various existing light poles. The purpose of this study was to determine the adequacy of the existing foundation of the light poles with and without the banners and wayfinding signages that could be attached to the existing light poles. The analysis considered the effect s of wind, self-weight, and seismic loading. For this analysis, it was assumed that the existing light poles were constructed per the City’s standard specifications at the time of installation and all applicable codes in addition to meeting all code minimum design requirements in their as-built conditions. The outcome report was intended to be used to determine whether the existing foundations are adequate or if they need to be upgraded. Two scenarios were considered for the existing foundation analysis:
Scenario 1: Existing light pole f oundation without attached signage/banner Scenario 2: Existing light pole foundation wi th a single banner and breakaway brackets Streetlight foundations were analyzed for dead lo ads including pole self-weight, existing luminaires superimposed weight, and additional weight of the new proposed signs/banners. In an effort to minimize wind load imposed on the st reetlights, BWP is spec ifying that all banner installations will be limited to a single banner and util itize breakaway brackets. The maximum effect of either wind or seismic loads in comb ination with vertical dead loads were considered ATTACHMENT 1

22 to evaluate size and depth of the existing foundations. The foundat ion was checked for overturning stability and strength in cohesionless soil. Tables 2 and 3 below show the result of our analysis for each scenario.

23 Analysis of the existing concrete pole foundations show that the stress ra tio in plain concrete (concrete without reinforcing) are at accept able level under the forces induced by wind or seismic loading. However, industry standards include foundation with minimum reinforcement for integrity of the foundation.
For all new installations, BWP is including a rebar reinforcement in concrete foundations. All new streetlight foundations require rebar reinforcement. Figure 28 below shows an example.

4.0 DESIGN STANDARDS FOR THE CITY’S STREET LIGHTING SYSTEM The City’s lighting system is over 75 years old; therefore there are a number of “legacy elements”.
What follows are the design standards applied to new street lighting extensions or replacements.
Street Classifications
Street classifications are determined by the City and based on various factors such as the width of the street, vehicular traffic volume, and speed limits. The classifications are as follows:
Major Arterial
Secondary Arterial
Downtown Collector
Collector
Local
ATTACHMENT 1
A1-23
24 Pedestrian Conflict Area Classifications
For street lighting, Illuminating Engineering Society of No rth America (IESNA) Recommended Practice 8 (RP-8) standard uses peak hour pedes trian counts as the criterion for potential conflict. Pedestrian Conflict Area classifications are as follows:
High – A volume greater than 100 pedestrians per hour. Typical: downtown retail areas. Medium – A volume between 10 and 100 pedestria ns per hour. Typical: downtown office areas, neighborhood shopping.
Low – A volume of 10 or fewer pedestrians per hour. Typical: suburban single family streets.
Illumination Levels
Streets with Continuous Lighting
All major and most collector streets in the City are designed to have continuous lighting. The IESNA defines continuous lighting as a fixed overhead-lighting system designed to provide a specific level of illuminance, luminance, and uniformity of light on the roadway. Suggested levels for different streets are shown in Tabl e 4 below. BWP will design for these levels or better.

Developments
New developments will require a complete street lighting system per the BWP Rules and Regulations for Utility Service, and must meet IESNA RP-8 standard (latest revision) for all public right of way areas.
Table 4: Lighting Design Criteria for Streets
Streets with Partial Lighting
Partial lighting is defined as li ghting installed at the decision areas of isolated interchanges and intersections whereby it provides visibility of potential conflicts with other traffic and physical features. Local street s in the City have partial li ghting and do not adhere to the requirements in 4.3.1. In addition to intersection lighting, these streets typically have midblock lighting every 100 to 350 feet for traffic safety.
Historically, various neighborhoo d-assessment districts paid for their street lighting. Since moving to a Citywide cost basis, the City allowed new housing developments to install street lighting but did not actively install continuous lighting on residential streets, as these streets ATTACHMENT 1
A1-24
25 have low-vehicular traffic. Additi onal streetlight installations in such areas incur upfront and recurring costs, while only benefiting a few properties.
Optional midblock additional ligh ting may be installed by BWP, if 50% or more of property owners within 100 feet of the proposed light loca tion do not object to installing the new light.
BWP has a streetlight process in place to review additional lighting requests.
Intersections
Signalized Intersections
Typically, intersections involving major and co llector streets have traffic signal poles with streetlights at the top. These lights are attached on a mast arm and are referred to as “safety lights”. The City’s Public Works’ Traffic Division (Traffic Division) sets the lighting-design criteria for such intersections and installs new safety lights. In accordance with the lighting standards adopted by the Traffic Di vision, BWP crews maintain sa fety lights as part of the City’s street lighting system. When a safety light replacement is required, BWP will use the same streetlight type or other approved equivalent.
Non-Signalized Intersections
Street intersections involving most local st reets and some collector streets might not have traffic signal poles. This is typical on streets, such as Kenneth Road (collector), where all intersections with local streets have stop signs. In such a configuration, BWP is responsible for setting and maintaining the lighting-design criteria. Lighting levels at the intersection should be higher than lighting levels on each of the intersecting streets. Table summarizes different types of non-signalized intersections and how they should be illuminated.

26 Selection of Luminaires and Standards
Major (Arterial) Streets
Standards. BWP uses 30-foot metal
Octaflute standards along most major
boulevards. This will continue to be a
BWP standard, with the end goal of
minimizing the type s of streetlight
fixtures installed in the City in order to
reduce the cost of maintaining
inventory of different types of posts.
Typical streetlight spacing is 70 feet to
80 feet staggered (maximum 100
feet). Sometimes luminaires are
installed on streetlight mast arms and
attached to existing power poles.
Decorative Option.
Decorative streetlights, if installed on
arterial streets, shall be combined 2
with Octaflute standards in order to
meet the lighting r equirements. This
setup is used in the Magnolia Park
area and the new Talaria Burbank
development, where pedestrian
streetlights are aided by Octaflutes
(See Figure 29). New installations of
decorative streetlights on arterial
streets shall be the Single-Pole 3-Ring Halo post (See Figure 9).
Luminaires. Leotek’s EC7-18M2 LED luminaire or other BWP-approved equivalent. LED with type III light distribution and 4000K color rendition. For decorative lighting, a case-by- case photometric study shall be conducted to ensure BWP illumination levels (4.3.1) are met.
Collector Streets
Standards. A majority of collector streets have 26-foot Marbelite standards spaced 100 to 150 feet (maximum 250 feet). Occasionally, a roadway will already have power poles running along it, such as Bel Aire Drive; in these cases, the streetlight mast arms are attached to the poles for street lighting rather than installing separate standards.
Decorative Option. Decorative streetlights may be insta lled separately or combined with Marbelite streetlights.
Luminaires. CREE’s XSPLG LED luminaire or other BWP-approved equivalent. LED with type III light distribution and 4000K color rendition.
2 Combinations include having an Octaflute every other few decorative lights or having Octaflutes across the street with enough light throw to surpass the lighting requirements.

A1-26
27 Local Streets
Standards. A majority of residential streets have 26-foot Marbelite standards spaced 100 to 150 feet staggered (250 feet maximum).
Decorative Option. Decorative streetlights may be insta lled separately or combined with Marbelite streetlights.The Toluca Lake neighborhood has low-level concrete standards; low- level is defined as a shorter ornamental li ght standard. The Ben Mar Hills neighborhood has low-level fiberglass standards; the area bounded by Burbank Boulevard, Victory Boulevard, Parish Place, and Sparks Street has low-level concrete standards.
Luminaires. Excellence Opto’s ESU-FA01 LED luminaire or other BWP-approved equivalent. LED with type II or III light distribution and 3000-4000K color rendition for Marbelites. For decorative standards, an LED luminaire shall be used for replacements and new installations.
Intersections
Standards. All major
intersections have traffic signal
poles with safety lights on mast
arms at the top of the pole. The
Traffic Division installs and
maintains traffic standards.
Most residential intersections
have stop signs and, therefore, do
not have traffic signal poles or
safety lights. These intersections
typically have Marbelites or
wooden poles. See example in
Figure 30.
Luminaires. Traffic engineers
are responsible for conducting
photometric studies when
installing new or upgrading
existing traffic signals. BWP
maintains the safety lights
thereafter. In 2014, the Traffic
Division standardized on 250
watts (W) HPS for safety lights. In 2021, the Tr affic Division started to follow BWP lighting standards, by installing lights t hat satisfy the design criteria of section 4.3.3.2. For non- signalized intersections, BWP shall install lighting that satisfies the lighting-design criteria of section 4.3.3.2.
Tree Lighting
It is the City’s policy to accommodate decorative lighting in the Burbank Village area; that is, the ‘twinkle lights’ that wrap around the branches of the trees along San Fernando Boulevard from Angeleno Street to Magnolia Boulevard. The existing decorative streetlights, which have built-in 120V outlets, serve as a power source for the twinkle lights.

28 Freeway Underpass Lighting
The City is responsible for maintaining many of the freeway underpass lights installed by CALTRANS within the City limits. The majori ty of these underpass light fixtures are T12 fluorescent tubes (old technology) and range fr om High Output (HO) to Very-High Output (VHO) fixtures. Production has c eased for most of these fixtur es; therefore, BWP replaces the lamps on a maintenance basis. An LED luminaire shall be used for replacements and new installations.
Luminaires. Herculux’s H1212FD LED wallpack or other BWP-approved equivalent. LED with 4000K color rendition. BWP shall use the standard for future underpass lighting installations and replacements.
Alley Lighting
Standards. Besides roadway illumination, it is
the City’s policy to pr ovide alley lighting for
neighborhood security at the request of the
customer or police. Where there are alleys,
BWP uses them as power distribution corridors,
so the mast arms can simply attach to the
existing power poles.
Luminaires. Excellence Opto’s XSPR ESU-
FA01 LED luminaire or other BWP-approved
equivalent. Due to the narrow nature of alleys,
many residents complain about light spilling
from alley streetlights into their backyard or
bedroom windows. If feasible, BWP shall create
a new luminaire standard or shielding solution
specific to alleys, in order to minimize light
trespass into private property. Figure 31 shows
an instance of a retrofitted shield to address a
complaint about an alley light.
5.0 STREETLIGHT OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE
The City’s street lighting system is operat ed and maintained by in-house BWP crews. The attached proposed Capital and Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Budget sheets show expenses broken down into their respective cat egories. The following is an overview of BWP’s street lighting O&M work.
Operations
The street lighting system turns on and off auto matically using photocells; manual operation is unnecessary. The major operating expense is the elec tric utility bill. Table 6 below shows the monthly kilowatt hour (kWh) consumption and cost for the street lighting system, broken down

Maintenance
BWP has an inspection program in place that tracks several maintenance activities including:
Deteriorated or leaning streetlight standards or posts Deteriorated streetlight foundations
Failed light fixtures
Streetlight wiring issues
Deteriorated streetlight pullboxes or pedestals
Deteriorated streetlight paint – A painting program was launc hed in 2003 to paint existing metal standards a uniform black color. The program is ongoing and is now mainly focused on maintenance painting. Streetlight standards will be painted on a 10-year cycle. Removal of graffiti as necessary.
As maintenance issues are found through inspection, BWP addresses the issues in a timely manner. If a significant number of issues are found in a common area, a capital improvement project may be created.
ATTACHMENT 1
A1-30
31 Repairs
All streetlights reports received by BWP during the work week are addressed within 24 hours.
If reported on weekends, streetlight repairs star t within 72 hours. In the event of vehicular accidents that result in streetlight knockdowns after hours, a two-man crew is called out to make the area safe, clean up, and repair affected circuits, w hen practical. A full crew revisits the site the next business day to resume streetlight repairs.
6.0 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT GOALS
Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs) are given priority according to the following order. Multiple goals are satisfied within a category of CIPs including:
Improved electrical safety
Improved roadway illumination
Improved reliability
Aesthetics
Reduced energy costs
Accommodation of other departmental CIPs
Accommodation of third-party installations
Improved Electrical Safety
CIPs are categorized under different programs. Every fiscal year (FY), BWP completes projects that address one or more programs. Table 7 below shows the planned CIPs for the upcoming 5 fiscal years.

32 Replace 240V and 480V Circuits with Low-Voltage 120V Circuits A drawback of using 240V and 480V has been safety procedures that crews have to complete to maintain the circuits at higher than 120V . Both 240V and 480V circuits incur increased maintenance costs and pose more risk because of the higher voltage. Over the years, BWP has taken steps to convert these circuits to low-voltage 120V circuits. Given the priority of this effort, it is recommended that the 240V and 480V circuits should be converted to 120V circuits. This will contribute to improved over all safety and reliabilit y of BWP’s streetlight system. Approximately 836 streetlights in the city, most of which are on arterial and collector streets, receive power at 240V or 480V.
Figure 32: 240V and 480V Circuits Locations Map. Overhead (Blue), Underground (Red).
Condition-Based Replacements
Some of the relatively newer streetlight posts have also reported severe deterioration.
ATTACHMENT 1
A1-32
33 Single-Pole Decorative Posts in the Mall Area
Replacements may be needed due to rust at the base. BWP has taken necessary measures to avoid this issue with future installations by switching from steel to stainless steel. But with more than 250 existing installations in the City, there is a need for additional inspections and replacements within the next five years.
Fiberglass Shakespeare Posts
Although installed less than 20 years ago, some of these posts are showing signs of deterioration, which seems to be accelerated by sunlight. In 2023, as part of the citywide streetlight inspection program, Shakespeare decorative posts have shown deterioration for most of the installed posts around the city. Approximately 71% of low-level Shakespeare posts were identified for replacement. BWP deter mined it is necessary to replace this type with one that has higher quality, better life expectancy, and requires less maintenance over time. There is currently 199 of these low-le vel Shakespeare posts installed citywide in multiple areas. Replacement of these deteriorated posts w ill require resources and funds beyond the LED program completi on target of end of 2024. BWP will replace 100% of this type of decorative posts, along with installing LED lights, over the span of two budget years.
For efficiency purposes, BWP will delay the conv ersion of these 199 lights to LED to align with the replacement of the posts, avoi ding double work and unnecessary resource utilization.
Improving Roadway Illumination
Replacing non-LED Str eetlights with LEDs
Initially, HPS and MH replacement with LE D was carried out on a maintenance basis to minimize the impact on the streetlight fund. However, as LED deployment progressed, fewer non-LED streetlights were left in service an d less replacements were made, slowing down the pace of the LED replacem ent program. In 2014, BWP launc hed a Citywide program to replace non-LED streetlights with newer efficient LED streetlights.
Throughout the program, BWP has conducted extensive resear ch to optimally choose efficient and appropriate LED products. For each type and size of existing old non-LED fixtures, BWP has tested several LED equivalents, and approved as standard the ones that meet Burbank specifications and standards. The research and deployment have been completed for all roadway lighting throughout the city, and now BWP has standard products in place for maintaining roadway lighting. This includes metal Octaflute standards, concrete Marbelite standards, and streetlights on wood poles; 100% of these have been converted to LED. The last main category of lights in the ci ty is decorative posts. Decorative lights by nature require additional research efforts due to the customization and uniqueness of each light post and fixture. Decorative posts in the city are of various shapes and heights.
To date, almost 93% of streetlights in the city of Burbank have been converted to LED. The remaining streetlights are high pressure sodium (HPS), metal halide (MH), and fluorescent, which are all less-efficient. BWP replaces all non-LED streetlights with LED streetlights as maintenance issues arise. By end of 2024, it is anticipated that all streetlights will be converted to LED, with the exception of li ghts installed on Shakespeare decorative posts.
BWP will be conducting a separate capital impr ovement project to replace all Shakespeare decorative posts in the City with concrete posts. For efficiency purposes, the capital ATTACHMENT 1
A1-33
34 improvement project will conver t the Shakespeare streetlights to LED at the time the posts are replaced. The project is planned to-be completed in two years.
Improved Reliability
Replace Deteriorated Underground Streetlight Substructures Aging and deteriorated underground conduits and pullboxes have been the greatest source of reliability problems. In recent history, BWP has replaced the underground system in the Ben Mar Hills area and in Toluca Lake. T here are a few smaller, scattered underground systems that should be replaced, and funds are budgeted annually to aid in the replacement of deteriorated streetlight substructures.
Replace Old Standards as Necessary
Streetlight standards that have de teriorated or have been hit by vehicles will be replaced as necessary.
Install Wireless Streetlight Nodes
All new streetlights are ordered with 7-pin receptacles that are compatible with smart photocells. BWP may decide to pursue smart phot ocells in the future, taking advantage of additional functionalities such as outage notifications, built-in GPS, power monitoring, and remote scheduling.
Aesthetics
Improve Aesthetics of Street Lighting Standards
Replace stub poles with Marbelite standards: streetlights on deteriorating wood stub poles will be systematically replaced wi th Marbelite streetlight standar ds. This provides improved reliability of the system and overall beautification of City streets.
Underground Streetlight Circuits
Underground along major boulevards to be consistent with Council’s policy to eliminate overhead lines along view corridors: the first Underground Utility District (UUD) was established on Olive Avenue in FY 05/06. A second UUD is being proposed for the San Fernando Corridor. Following this designation, all utilities will be converted to underground circuits, including 480V streetlights on San Fernando Boulevard between Amherst Drive/Scott Road and Grismer Avenue.
Reduced Energy Cost
Reduce cost through energy efficiency and r educed need for maintenance by eliminating underground series circuits and investing in new lighting technologies, such as LEDs. Replacing the HPS luminaires with LEDs will result in overall lower life-cycle cost for streetlight facilities.
The current LED lineup saves 58-75% in electric energy and requires less maintenance.
Accommodation of Othe r Departmental CIPs
Public Works Projects
The City is continuously upgrading existing or adding new intersection traffic signals. Safety lights on older traffic signals are fed through overhead wires a ttached to them from nearby ATTACHMENT 1
A1-34
35 streetlights. On newer traffic st andards, safety lights are fed dire ctly from the pole. Work is required from BWP to accommodate these projects.
Police Department Cameras
The Burbank Police Department utilizes security camers that are installed in some locations around the city. Streetlight mast arms, whether on streetlight standards, or wood power poles are a suitable solution for th is purpose. Work is required from BWP to accommodate these installations.
Fiber Equipment
BWP currently operates an extensive fiber optic network connecting utility and City buildings, as well as the Burbank Unified School District, plus many of the largest commercial customers in Burbank. BWP’s ONE Burbank (Optical Network Enterprise) program provides commercial customers Direct Internet Access service, Metro Ethernet, ultra high speed point to point data transfer, dark fiber leasing and other related services.
A sizeable portion of Burbank’s fiber netwo rk is underground with some aboveground connection points. Those overhead connection points utilize fiber gateways and collectors.
These fiber equipment are mostly installed on streetlight mast arms, whether on streetlight standards, or wood power poles. Work is required from BWP to accommodate these projects.
Accommodation of Third-Party Installations
Wireless Telecommunicat ion Attachments (WTA)
Burbank Municipal Code Sectio n 7-3-708 provides reasonable uni form regulations for the installation and management of wireless telecommunications attachments (WTA) in the public right-of-way. The Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 permits the City to manage the public rights-of-way and require fair and reasonable compensation from telecommunications providers, on a competitively neutral and nondiscriminatory basis, for use of public rights-of- way on a nondiscriminatory basis, if the compensation required is publicly disclosed by such government.
The City has developed a Master License Agr eement (MLA) to attach, install, operate and maintain communications facilities on street li ght poles and other vertical infrastructure to implement BMC 7-3-708 and to reduce barriers to deployment of WTAs in the public right-of- way. The Master License Agreement permits telephone corporations to replace functioning City streets lights with fully concealed and integrated WTA poles that will also serve as street light poles. Under the Master License Agr eement, the City will then perform routine maintenance on the WTA pole, in cluding but not limited to per iodic painting, service and replacement of luminaries, and specialty electrical metering of the WTA installation.
The City’s maintenance costs are necessary to accommodate deploym ent of WTAs in the public right-of-way, and the amount of the costs is reasonable, especially in light of the term of the agreement, which could run between 10 and 25 years.
Companies wishing to attach wireless communications facilities to street light poles and other vertical infrastructure in the public right-of- way pursuant to BMC Section 7-3-708 shall enter into Master License Agreements pr ior to installation of such fac ilities. Work is required from BWP to accommodate these projects.
