Ten-Year Lease, Sublease, and Site Access Agreement at the Tejon Peak Telecommunication Site

The County of Los Angeles has authorized a ten-year agreement to maintain telecommunications operations at the Tejon Peak Telecommunication Site located in Gorman, California. This comprehensive arrangement consists of a primary lease with the Ralphs Trust, a sublease with Southern California Edison, and a Site Access Agreement with the Los Angeles Regional Interoperable Communications System (LA-RICS). The primary objective of these agreements is to ensure the continued operation of critical infrastructure, including emergency response services, by the County's Internal Services Department, Southern California Edison, and LA-RICS. The project is designated as a Categorical Exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 for existing facilities, as the activities involve negligible or no expansion of use. Administrative oversight is managed by the County of Los Angeles Chief Executive Office, with Alexandra Nguyen-Rivera serving as the primary point of contact. The authorization was granted by the Board of Supervisors on September 1, 2026, and the associated Notice of Exemption was signed on September 3, 2026.
