Pole Attachment Agreement. The City’s Electric utility maintains several thousand distribution and transmission poles. Other utilities and telecommunications providers routinely attach their cabling to these poles to deploy their infrastructure throughout the City. No new providers have made attachments to these poles for several decades. In a typical year, the existing attachees submit only a handful of requests to attach to poles. Applications are evaluated by the Electric Services Engineering Division, and poles are inspected before and after the attachment is made. City staff recently obtained new pole loading standards from a contractor, which will assist in evaluating proposed attachments. MetroNet has indicated it will attach to approximately 4,000 electric poles in the span of approximately 10 months. Additionally, because of vacancies within the Electric Engineering Division, it will be difficult or impossible for City staff to scrutinize proposed attachments at the pace they will be submitted. Therefore, City staff and MetroNet have worked to negotiate a new pole attachment agreement that will accommodate MetroNet’s planned pace of construction. The pole attachment agreement provides that during the initial network buildout, MetroNet will have professional engineers licensed in the state of Iowa submit the attachment applications. The applications will be reviewed by a contract engineering firm (hired by MetroNet and approved by the City) to ensure they meet the City’s adopted standards. The contracted firm will also verify pole integrity through field inspections and spot check the completed attachments to ensure they were made in accordance with the submitted plans. The initial buildout period provides longer timeframes for the evaluation and approval of proposed attachments. Once the initial buildout is complete, any proposed pole attachments will be reviewed by City staff rather than the outside firm, and the expected timeframes for approval will shorten. Provisions exist for the Utility to require MetroNet to remove its attachments in the event that the City re-routes poles, or converts overhead infrastructure to underground. If the City receives complaints from the public regarding the condition of MetroNet’s fiber on the poles, MetroNet must make repairs within ten days or provide information to the City regarding when the repairs are to be made. In exchange for attaching to the City’s Electric poles, MetroNet will pay the utility attachment fees as provided in the ...

Pole Attachment Agreement. The pole attachment agreement provides that during the initial network buildout, Verizon will have professional engineers licensed in the state of Iowa perform the design for the attachment applications. Due to an anticipated low volume of these applications, it is anticipated that the applications will be reviewed by Electric Engineering staff.

If Council elects not to approve a pole attachment agreement, the Iowa Cell Siting Act permits them to install their own poles in available rights of way. This new law precludes installations in areas zoned historic or single-family residential and limits the size and height of the installations. This agreement with Verizon generally limits the installation of these facilities to non-ornamental street light poles.
