In pre-pandemic April 2019, Mayor Kevin Faulconer signed a Public 
Private Partnership with Verizon, giving the Company discounted rent for 
use of public assets and shortened permitting timeframes to deploy 
infrastructure for the Company’s 5G wireless network. The deal was 
initiated and negotiated by a Verizon lobbyist, entirely bypassing City 
Council and public input.

Faulconer touted the Verizon deal saying it would “increase services and 
expand our smart cities capabilities, at no additional costs to 
taxpayers.”1 However, three years into the 10-year deal term, San 
Diegans are subsidizing the buildout of Verizon’s 5G network, and 
promised community benefits have failed to materialize, potentially 
costing taxpayers over a million dollars.
