1 City Council Agenda: 06/23/14 7B. Consideration of adopting Resolution # approving a lease agreement with Verizon Wireless for co-location on a Wireless Telecommunications Monopole, City Project No. ZTOWER (JO/SB) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND Verizon Wireless and City staff have finalized the lease agreement for the proposed telecommunications tower located at the Public Works site. The key terms of the lease agreement are as follows: Verizon to make rental payments to the City in the amount of $24,000 per year for 10 years. Annual rental will be increased by 3% each year. Rental shall be reduced by $1,800 per year ($150 per month) in the event that Sprint, T-Mobile, or AT&T lease space on the tower from the City. The agreement automatically extends for four additional five-year terms unless Verizon or the City terminates the agreement in writing. City agrees to diligently complete construction of the tower by September 30, City to provide access to the site at all times for installation and maintenance of equipment. The tower was re-bid (see Agenda Item #7C) and re-designed to a 170-foot height to accommodate loading for three future wireless carriers and other antenna uses. The tower was designed to accommodate co-location by Verizon Wireless at a 150-foot height in conjunction with a previously approved CUP to locate their antenna and shelter on the proposed tower and site. The tower was also designed to accommodate loading for two other potential future carriers at a 135-foot and 165-foot height. In addition, the tower was designed for minimal loading at a lower height for sector antennas to provide locally improved coverage and loading for potential public safety/emergency services use (i.e. sirens, whip antennas, camera, repeater transmitters for Xcel). A1. Budget Impact: The initial cost approved by the city Council for the project was up to $300,000 using reserves to fund the project up front. It is anticipated that the actual total project cost (construction and indirect costs) will be approximately $230,000. Revenue will be generated per the lease agreement with Verizon and potentially other carriers in the future that locate on the tower. A2. Staff Workload Impact: Minimal staff time will be spent to execute the agreement and coordinate lease payments. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Motion to adopt Resolution # approving a lease agreement with Verizon Wireless for co-location on a Wireless Telecommunications Monopole, City Project No. ZTOWER. 1
