The budgeted expenditures FY 24-25 for the Prop A Fund will exceed the budgeted revenues. The City of La Habra Heights has $80,000 of Prop A Funds for the FY 24-25 allotment. They would like to exchange these Prop A funds at a rate of 75/100 or $60,000 of General Fund dollars. This additional revenue for Prop A is included in the Citywide FY 24-25 Budget.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Exchange of Prop A Funds is budgeted with an expense of $60,000 from the General Fund and an increase of $80,000 Prop A Fund revenue.

SUGGESTED ACTION

RECOMMENDATION:

Approve Communications Facility License Agreement, Memorandum of Communications Facility License Agreement and Resolution No. 026-2024 at 22115 Pioneer Boulevard.

SUMMARY
The Communication Facility License Agreement and Memorandum of Communications Facility License Agreement between the City of Hawaiian Gardens and Dish Wireless, LLC (“Dish”) provides Dish a non-exclusive license to install, operate, and maintain its communications facility on the City’s existing monopole located at 22115 Pioneer Boulevard.
