SUNDAY SALES. <br /> Approve Right-of-way and Telecommunications Ordinance Amendments to Regulate <br /> Small Wireless Facilities <br /> A small wireless facility, also known as a small cell, is a newer technology that is a <br /> complimentary piece of equipment to traditional cell towers and provides additional cellular data <br /> coverage. Recently, there was an amendment to State Statute regarding the regulation of small <br /> wireless facilities. The amendments have streamlined the permitting process for placement or <br /> collocation of small wireless facilities on city-owned structures in public right-of-way by <br /> allowing them as a permitted use in all zoning districts except historic and residential. However, <br /> the law also allows cities to manage small wireless facilities through a permitting process, <br /> including a collocation agreement and ordinances. Staff recommended approval of the <br /> amendments to update the right-of-way and telecommunications ordinance per the new <br /> amendment to State law to prepare for the eventual deployment of small wireless facilities within <br /> the community. At its February 28, 2019, meeting, the Planning Commission considered and <br /> held a public hearing on the ordinance amendments. The Planning Commission agreed with <br /> revisions and recommended approval. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved <br /> ORDINANCE 2019-495 RELATING TO AND REGULATING PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY <br /> AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS. <br /> Approve Assignment of Agreement for Municipal Advisor Services <br /> Since 2001, Springsted, Inc., had been the City's financial advisors.

Following the closing, the combined firm will operate its <br /> public sector advisory business under the name Baker Tilly Municipal Advisors, LLC. <br /> Springsted staff has been invited to join Baker Tilly. Springsted had requested the City consent <br /> to the assignment of the current agreement for municipal advisor services to Baker Tilly. <br /> This was a procedural matter and the transition would be seamless.
