WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the installation of City-owned conduit
throughout the City would enhance the City's data and communications infrastructure;
and
WHEREAS, requiring the placement of City conduits in trenches opened in City
rights-of-way as part of a development project allows for expansion of the City conduit
system at a lower cost to the public and with fewer opening of the City's streets; and
WHEREAS, the cost of adding such conduit to an already opened trench would
be proportional to the benefd of enhanced public services received by the owner of the
developing property; and
WHEREAS, it is important to the City and to those persons and entities within the
City who depend on the availability of the data and communications infrastructure
services that would be able to be provided through the conduits in City streets to have
those conduits and infrastructure in as many streets as possible, and all due
consideration shall be given to the need for the installation of City-owned conduit in
street improvements, in terms of the improvements that should tie required in
