Zayo Group, LLC (Zayo) has applied for a License to work within the City’s rights of way and easements to install, operate, and maintain a conduit and fiber optic communications network.
Zayo will build approximately 10 miles of conduit and fiber optic cables. The installation defined in this License will be part of a larger Pinal County regional system in its initial operation.
The Communications License does not exempt Zayo from permit fees related to the construction, installation, and maintenance of the network.
Licensee warrants that no portion of Licensee’s Communications Network shall be dedicated exclusively to interstate traffic, as that term is used in Arizona Revised Statutes § 9-583(C)(2). If at any time Licensee cannot make such a warrant for any portion of Licensee’s Communications Network, then that portion shall be subject to the per foot linear fee (''Per Foot Fee") set forth herein.

This item will be presented by Economic & Development Director Nathan Steele.
