('SiFi') to access and use the public right-of-way to install, operate, and maintain a privately-funded Citywide Fiber Optic Network to all residences, businesses, and institutions within the City; 2) As a condition to approving the Development Agreement, find that the proposed project is exempt from CEQA by Section 15301 (Existing Facilities), Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures), and Section 15304 (Minor Alterations to Land) of the CEQA Guidelines; 3) Authorize the City Manager and City Attorney to make any necessary, non-monetary changes to the agreement; and, 4) Authorize the Mayor and the City Clerk to execute the agreement on behalf of the City.
