expansion of the clean up area and it was larger than originally looked at it needs to be add to the clear up area one of the things we've done as well, not recorded in here we've done an eco management and it can say that there is not a need we see to clean up the led that is underwater at this point at that time, it is unavailable to the receptor terrors we'll not have to do additional clean up but maybe some further investigations i want to do to acknowledge the efforts off our staff on that project sponsor who is here today and really put in a lot of work to bring this

10:55 am
to our circuits and allow us to execute those master license agreement distributed antenna systems program would conflict with our curiosity street light policy that doesn't allow us to use poles for profit entities the public works codes lays out through the dpw the issuance of personal wireless site permits here in the city and that codes lace out sets the responsibility for sequa compliance, for prove that a facilities as proposed will operate in compliance with public health compliance standards and for us it permits
10:56 am
the applicant to secure the owners permission for the poles use we're the owner that's our role within the cities regulatory treasure story distributed antenna systems and wireless facilities what is that we're physically talking about in the photo here as you can see a typical street light pole on the left and what is the proposed are attachments you see on the right with the circles around p them the antenna and supporting equipment and another example some of the equipment is mounted lower on the pole and again, this is version has the antenna lower on the pole and mount to some separation from the pole itself so that's just to give you a
10:57 am
flavor for the kinds of things you might be seeing on the poles if the agreement moves o move forward but we're proposing a pole license fee that's a real estate license of $4,000 per year with a 4 thousand annual escalation we want a 12 year term for the operation of the facilities for about 10 years and about 2 years worth of planning and permit and design before the installation is operating we're also requiring under this master license agreement for strands of fiber for city use they're required to provide details and procedures and fees for approval and installation a 4 hundred and 40 there's fee and a 9 hundred there's fee for the
10:58 am
engineering staff to perform the reviews it is a styled review for the use of a standard tap everyday steel pole so one master agreement they'll subsequently identify the poles and all the power for the facilities will be provide as r by us. >> our scope of refugee went over quickly is summarized on this slide it is important for you to be consulting with the planning department regarding the aesthetics that's their role and nothing will actually move forward until we've conformed the sequa compliance program provides a number of benefits both for the city and specifically for power for the city it is the facilities that
10:59 am
are being proposed to be installed will enhance the wireless coverage and mediating meet the i have no speaker cards demands for the speed and provides for expansion for the city with the four strands for city department use and captains the overlay fiber for the overall public use specifically for power it will the fees i've distributed for obvious use of pole are expected to generate a million dollars per year in addition revenue with that, i'm happy to take questions or comments. >> questions. >> i look for your support. >> a couple of questions. the term is 12 years >> correct. >> and what happens after the 12 years. >> after the 12 years the devices will be removed unless the carry wishes to are you new
