the top of the agenda.

Public
Correspondence:

We highly encourage written materials regarding Advisory Board Agenda items be submitted no later than
4:00 P.M. the day prior to an Advisory Board meeting to allow the Advisory Board Members ample time to
review and consider the issues raised prior to making decisions at the Advisory Board meeting. Please
keep in mind that it is difficult for Advisory Board Members to carefully review materials submitted after
that deadline or at the meeting. Written materials, including emails, submitted to the City are public
records and may be posted on the City’s website. Accordingly, you may wish to omit personal information
from your written materials or oral presentation as it may become part of the public record regarding an
agenda item. In addition, City meetings may be televised and may be accessed through the City's
website at https://www.rpvca.gov/agendas.

Public Participation:

Participants must speak from the podium using the lectern microphone; comments are to be directed to

remove, or cause the removal of, an individual for disrupting the meeting. (2) Prior to removing an
individual, the presiding member or their designee shall warn the individual that their behavior is disrupting
the meeting and that their failure to cease their behavior may result in their removal. The presiding
member or their designee may then remove the individual if they do not promptly cease their disruptive
behavior. This paragraph does not apply to any behavior described in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1)
of subdivision (b)(1) means engaging in behavior during a meeting of a legislative body that actually
disrupts, disturbs, impedes, or renders infeasible the orderly conduct of the meeting and includes, but is
not limited to, one of the following: (A) A failure to comply with reasonable and lawful regulations adopted
by a legislative body pursuant to Section 54954.3 or any other law. (B) Engaging in behavior that

indicia of intent and seriousness, that a reasonable observer would perceive it to be an actual threat to
use force by the person making the threat.

Time Estimates:

The time noted next to an agenda item is only an estimate of the amount of time that will be spent during
the meeting on that particular item. Accordingly, these estimates should not be relied on in determining
when a matter will be heard, especially since agenda items are often re-ordered during a meeting and
may be discussed at any time.

The Advisory Board will adjourn its meetings on or before 11:00 p.m. and will not consider new business
items after 10:15 p.m., unless a majority of the Advisory Board members who are present affirmatively

*Represents a program comprised of multiple projects/elements. This report focuses on the element most
relevant to the agenda item.

Without modification to their delivery schedules, all, if not several of the above-listed
projects are in position be in the construction phase concurrently by November or sooner.
This creates a compounding magnitude of risk associated with the following factors:
1. The cumulative regional impacts on traffic circulation for commuters, students, and
emergency response
2. The forecasted strong rainy season influenced by El-Nino conditions
3. The ongoing school season; most notably impacts to students who access PVDE,
which is 1-lane in each direction for many parts of the roadway.
4. Ongoing repairs to PVDS within the Portuguese Bend Landslide Complex
5. The magnitude of city staff resources required for public outreach, contract
management (construction and professional services), and project-related decision
making and issue resolution that typically arise during construction.

To address these risks, Staff are proposing the schedule provided in Attachment B. The
proposed schedule serves to address the above-listed risks, as well as the prioritization
and reasoning shown in Table 2 below:

Some reaches are in near-failure condition;
Storm drains need to be repaired before

1

City Council Goal 2.3, phased approach of
construction does not have the magnitude
of impacts compared to 8847/8858/8855.
Construction procurement is in progress.
Anticipated construction contract award:
10/20/26

2

Deadlines associated with the CalTrans
administered Surface Transportation Block
Grant Program require funds to be
committed within the next 2-3 months

3

Concurrent construction with 8855 would
create a traffic surcharge on other arterial
roadways across the peninsula, especially
during the school season and rain events.

As part of the September 16, 2026, IMAC regular meeting, Staff seek recommendations from

the IMAC regarding the proposed prioritization and delivery schedule (Attachment B).
These recommendations will be taken into consideration by Staff in preparation for a similar
presentation to the Traffic Safety Committee during their regular meeting scheduled for
September 28, 2026.

ALTERNATIVES:
In addition to Staff recommendation, the following alternative action is available for the
IMAC’s consideration:
1. Take other action or provide direction, as deemed appropriate

Background and Justification
The City uses an asset management program for its public infrastructure to effectively
assess and forecast the City’s public infrastructure needs in order to ensure its reliability
and resiliency, while effectively using available maintenance and capital project resources
to implement repairs and improvements. By way of maintaining an updated master plan
of drainage and in-situ condition assessment program, the City’s drainage system
remains part and parcel of the City’s asset management program and practices.

INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE (IMAC)
AGENDA REPORT

MEETING DATE: 09/16/2026
AGENDA HEADING: Regular Business

AGENDA TITLE:
Discussion of opportunities to improve wireless telecommunications coverage throughout
the City.
RECOMMENDED IMAC ACTION:
(1) Receive and file a presentation on opportunities to improve wireless
telecommunications coverage; and
(2) Discuss whether IMAC should further evaluate Wi-Fi calling, direct-to-cell
technology, and other emerging technologies.
ORIGINATED BY: Russ Bryden, Public Works Principal Engineer
ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS:
A. Presentation on Addressing Poor Cell Phone Coverage in RPV

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
Improving wireless telecommunications coverage throughout Rancho Palos Verdes is an
established City Council goal. The City has been working with wireless service providers to
facilitate installation of additional small wireless facilities and has also pursued changes to
the Municipal Code intended to reduce barriers to deployment of new wireless
infrastructure. Despite these efforts, expanding wireless coverage remains challenging, in
part because of the City's topography and the limited interest expressed by wireless carriers
in expanding infrastructure within the City.
As part of the September 16, 2026, IMAC regular meeting, Member Shaw will present
information regarding existing and emerging technologies that may provide additional
opportunities to improve wireless telecommunications coverage.
ALTERNATIVES:
In addition to Staff recommendation, the following alternative action is available for the
IMAC’s consideration:
1. Take other action or provide direction, as deemed appropriate

Current City Council Goal for Wireless Coverage

At 1 September Council Meeting, Municipal Code was Modified to Incentivize Providers

9/16/2026

For IMAC Discussion Purposes Only

The Problem is the Hill
• Despite Plenty of Cell Towers, Topography
Creates a Chaotic Environment
• Radio Waves, like Light, Want to Travel in
Straight Unobstructed Lines

• Hills Create Multipath Interference and RF Shadows (Dead Zones)

• Many More Towers Would be Needed to Cover the Entire City
• Very Costly for the Providers
• Resident Resistance
• Providers Not Willing to Make the Investment for Such a Small Number of Customers

It’s a Physics Problem, Not “Blame the Providers”

9/16/2026

For IMAC Discussion Purposes Only

“Direct-To-Cell (D2C) Technology
• Almost All New Smartphones Have
“Wireless Calling”
• At Home, Why is Cell Coverage Even
Needed?
• Make Your Home Router Your
Dedicated “Cell Tower”

• Almost All New Smart Phones Are
Equipped to Handle Space
Communication

• On the Road, Use Satellite Capability

Maybe Home Wifi Calling and Satellite D2C
Could Be the Solution to Satisfy the City Goal?

9/16/2026

For IMAC Discussion Purposes Only

Is the Technology Ready?
• SpaceX & T-Mobile
• Market Leader with T-Mobile’s “T-Satellite Service”
• Send Text, Share Location and Send Picture/Audio
Messages Off Grid TODAY!
• Massive Starlink Coverage Across Continental US

• AST Space Mobile
• Broadband Challenger Building Network of High Bandwidth Satellites
Delivering 5G
• Video Streaming, Web Browsing and Voice
• Agreements in Place with AT&T and Verizon
• Schedule Delayed, Partly from Explosion of Blue Origin New Glenn Rocket
• Launch Timeline for at Least 45 Satellites Pushed into 2027

9/16/2026

For IMAC Discussion Purposes Only

Is the Technology Ready? (Cont)
• Apple and Globalstar
• Apple’s Emergency SOS via Globalstar
Satellite Network
• Limited to Emergency Services, Roadside
Assistance and “Find My” Location Sharing
• Have to Point Phone at Passing Satellite

• Amazon Project Leo (Previously Kuiper)
• Amazon Positioning to be a Future
Competitor to SpaceX Starlink
• Space-Based Cellular Broadband Network
• July 2026, 396 Satellites Deployed

9/16/2026

For IMAC Discussion Purposes Only

Technology and Regulatory Hurdles

• Spectrum Allocation and Interference

• Satellites Must Integrate with Terrestrial Systems Without Bleeding Into
Other Networks and Avoiding Interference
• FCC in Process of Harmonizing International Rules for Spectrum Sharing

• The Physics of Scale
• Each Satellite acts as a “Cell Tower
in Space” Serving Potentially
Thousands of Users Sharing
Satellite Beam Bandwidth
• Taking “Crawl, Walk, Run” Approach
• Prioritizing Text, Low-Rate Data
and Emergency Services
• Working Towards Unthrottled
High-Speed Cellular Data

For IMAC Discussion Purposes Only

Roadmap To Widespread Adoption

9/16/2026

For IMAC Discussion Purposes Only

Conclusions & Recommendations
• All Residents Will Need is WiFi and a Modern Cell Phone
• WiFi Calling at Home is Standard Technology TODAY!
• Roadmap Suggests Full Capability for Satellite “Fill-In” Will Be Available
in Just a Few Years
• Service Providers Have No Incentive for Terrestrial Investment in a SemiRural Environment Like the Hill.
• We Should Focus on Educating Residents on This Near-Term Technology
Solution.

IMAC Could Help By Researching The Technology and Advising
the Council How It Could Satisfy Its Current Goal.

9/16/2026

For IMAC Discussion Purposes Only

Discussion by IMAC
• Do we Concur a Study of the Technology and Report Detailing Our
Recommendations Would be Helpful?
• If Yes, Agree on Which Subcommittee it be Assigned to – I
Recommend New Technology
• Agree on a Schedule and End Product
• Needs Another Set of Eyes to Research This in More Depth and
Identify the Pitfalls
• Potential Motion to Encompass Our Agreement and Plan Forward

Project 1 - Due to extensive staff involvement in the Wildlife Corridor Project (mostly completed 9/2025) and the reopening of 3.5 miles of trails 12/2025, the TNP timeline was delayed from 1/2026 to 11/2026. Given the completion of the 2 projects, the TNP has
become a priority for 2026.
Project 2 - This Project is "At Risk" as it is highly contingent on the Federal government's willingness to provide - at a minimum - a time extension as well as securing several million dollars to begin planning and construction. Staff is seeking assistance from our
federal representatives. Due Date is "TBD" since it is reliant on the Federal gov'ts prioritization of this effort.
Project 3 - This Project "Needs Attention," because it is contingent on the Federal government agreeing to divest these properties. It is not considered "At Risk" since there has been no indication the Federal gov't is unwilling to discuss divestiture. Due Date is "TBD"
since it is reliant on the Federal gov'ts prioritization of this effort.
