10. PUBLIC HEARING
- Encroachment Agreement for Redwood Shores Residential Areas;
Engineering and Construction Manager Patterson began by naming committee members present in the audience as Scott Eckardt and Lynn Adams, RSHOA; Mary Morrissey Parden and Mike Gibson, RSOA and the City's consultant Carl Pilnick, Jeff Spiegelman from RCN and Financial Services Director Ponty. He further explained how the committee operated by splitting into two separate committees and addressed the issues and formal agreements as described in the staff report. Additionally, he explained the informal agreements outlined in the staff report but possibly not legally enforceable by the City.
Mayor Ruskin opened the public hearing.
Jeff Spiegelman, of RCN, expressed his appreciation to the Council for hearing the franchise application and staff and community members for working in a collaborative spirit. He explained that RCN would provide for expansion of service by utilizing only 15% of capacity reserving 85% for future needs.
Lynn Adams, President of RSHOA, stated she is very encouraged by working in a collaborative method with all involved parties. She urged the City to enable RCN to uphold the spirit of the informal agreements.
City Manager Everett requested the City be on record showing that there has been some discussion and an e-mail from Jeff Speigelman that states, categorically, RCN will submit plans for above ground electronics to the appropriate associations for review and approval.
Jeff Spiegelman agreed he sent the e-mail on August 10 and the statement is accurate. He further stated on July 26 that he verbally agreed to the statement delivered by City Manager Everett.
Mary Morrissey Parden, of RSOA, thanked City staff for the outreach on the project. She stated RSOA is still in negotiation with RCN and at question are 50-70 above ground refrigerator size units needing to be installed along the major arterial routes of the network. The units are paired with smaller units that are the size of doghouses in groups of 2-3 units totaling from 100-210 large above ground units. The issue is how well the units would be landscaped and hidden. She stated the project deserves more time and attention and asked that Council continue to not bifurcate the agreement. She stated the preferred proposal is to ask an RCN representative to acknowledge and confirm that night that it is their intent to honor the informal agreement of review and approval to the level of specificity that each of the organizations requires by its own governing documents.
Michael Gibson, of RSOA, asked that some association review every box so that there is no area in Redwood Shores where there is no appropriate association. He stated his other concern is that it is a review and approval and that the words "appropriate association" are not taken to mean a lot of things that they were not meant to mean.
Scott Eckardt, of RSOA, asked to be on record as applauding the community, the City and RCN for coming together acknowledging the issues, going forward with them and bringing them to Council for a decision. He stated he hoped Council would make the decision as presented and consider all the issues.
Jeff Spiegelman stated that his use of the word "appropriate" is to denote that different associations cover different sections of Redwood Shores. So that where the RSHOA is associated, that's where they would submit to, where the RSOA has properties, they would be submitted to, where the Business Association is, that's where they would submit to. He stated he also assumes each of the respective associations would work with RCN, meet in the field, and ultimately come to an agreement as to where the devices would go.

M/S Ira/Howard to adopt RESOLUTION 13979 APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT GRANTING ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT FOR THE INSTALLATION OF FIBER OPTIC NETWORK FACILITIES WITHIN THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY WITHIN THE REDWOOD SHORES RESIDENTIAL AREA (RCN Telecom Services of California, Inc.) and make it known that the informal agreement is recognized and that the two parties will work toward the agreements being completely upheld.
