Pacific Bell Mobile Services <br />(PBMC), a new telecommunications company, has approached the City in an effort <br />to identify transmission facility sites for its personal communication <br />technology. The water tower has been selected as a preferred site. <br />Considered to be the next wave beyond cellular phone technology, the system uses <br />antennas configured as rectangular boxes, approximately four and one -half feet <br />tall by one -half foot wide, which will be painted to match the tower and fit <br />within its vertical girder structure. They will therefore be less visible than <br />traditional dishes on poles or roof tops. Six of these ten -pound antennas will <br />be mounted on the tower. Additional facilities will be maintained within an <br />eighteen by twenty foot area at ground level under the tower. The proposed use <br />has been approved by the Public Works Agency's Water Administration and <br />Engineering Divisions. <br />The term of the sublease is five years with three five -year option periods if <br />elected by PBMC. Rent shall be $1,000 per month, with annual increases tied to <br />the change in the Consumer Price Index, not to exceed five percent annually. <br />The sublease is conditioned upon approval by the Santa Ana Unified School <br />District. <br />®71 <br />Q5. 383 <br />2 5F <br />
