8. The permit applicant recognizes that the frequencies used by the cellular facility located at 5111 West Edinger Avenue are extremely close to the frequencies used by the City of Santa Ana for Public Safety. This proximity will require extraordinary "comprehensive advanced planning and frequency coordination" engineering measures to prevent interference, especially in the choice of frequencies and radio ancillary hardware. This is encouraged in the "Best Practices Guide" published by the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials-International, Incorporated (APCO), and as endorsed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Prior to the issuance of any permits to install the facility, (permit applicant) shall meet in good faith to coordinate the use of frequencies and equipment with the Communications Division of the Orange County Sheriff-Coroner Department to minimize, to the greatest extent possible, any interference with the Public Safety 800 MHz Countywide Coordinated Communications System (CCCS). Similar consideration shall be given to any other existing or proposed wireless communications facility that may be located on the subject property. 9. At all times, the permit applicant shall not prevent the City of Santa Ana from having adequate spectrum capacity on the City's 800 MHz radio frequency. 10. Before activating its facility, the permit applicant will submit to a post- installation test to confirm that "advanced planning and frequency coordination" of the facility was successful in not interfering with the City of Santa Ana Public Safety radio equipment. This test will be conducted by the Communications Division of the Orange County Sheriff-Coroner Department or a Division-approved contractor at the expense of the applicant. This post-installation testing process shall be repeated for every proposed frequency addition and/or change to confirm the intent of the "frequency planning" process has been met. 11. The permit applicant shall provide a 24-hour phone number to which interference problems may be reported. This condition will also apply to all existing facilities in the City of Santa Ana. 12. The permit applicant will provide a "single point of contact" in its Engineering and Maintenance Departments to insure continuity on all interference issues. The name, telephone number, fax number and a-mail address of that person shall be provided to the City's designated representative upon activation of the facility. 13. The permit applicant shall insure that the lessee or other user(s) shall • comply with the terms and conditions of this permit, and shall be Resolution No. 2007-23 Page 6 of 8
