communication facility. The proposed lease rate is $2,200 per month
($26,400/yr), for the first year with an annual increase of four percent
per year. Per their agreement with the City, ATS Communications will

($5,280) and the City will retain 80 percent ($21,120).
The site improvements will be designed as part of the recreation center
and will include a large storage room for the center and another
equipment room for a second carrier, in order to meet the conditions of
co-location set by the City Council. The location of the equipment
building and monopine will be on the northwest corner of the recreation
center. Royal Street Communications will also install four 24" box trees
in the park as part of the project.

Anita Neighborhood Association on the Royal Street Communication cell
tower proposal. The neighborhood association accepted the cell tower
proposal and approved of the site improvements negotiated in the lease
agreement. They also requested the lease revenue be designated for future
improvements at Santa Anita Park.
