Minutes of a Meeting of The North Olmsted Parks and Recreation Commission April 4, 2005 Concurrently with that proposal there was a proposal from Northcoast PCS, a local phone provider, that wanted to come on to pay $750 a month rent to the City or $1,500 a month total. The initial co-location fee that Sprint paid was $12,000 in 2002; $9,000 went to the Rec Department for Clague Park and $3,000 went to the Economic Development Fund. At that point, there was some competition going on. AT&T had previously committed $1,500, $750 of which the City gets, so time was short. The City agreed that they would be at $750 a month but that the City would put $9,000 in a ground lease rather than $12,000. Mr. Jesse’s thinking was that the City would make up the $3,000 difference in the first year between the $750 a month rent that the City is getting now vs. the $600 a month it is getting from Sprint, which is the other co-locator. In a year’s time, the City should be dead even with Sprint. Also throwing a curve in the project was the fact that Cingular bought AT&T. Mr. Jesse was contacted by Cingular, which said that it would like to renegotiate its master lease. The City was trying to negotiate the red towers and blue towers (located all over the U.S.); Cingular sent the City its proposal. At that point, the Safety Director said that, according to the contract, the renewal period is every five years, and Cingular can exercise its cancellation clause 30 days from the anniversary date of its agreement, which in this case is July 22, 2007. At this point, discussions ended after Mr. Jesse told them he would be more than happy to entertain a call at that time, June 22, 2007. The AT&T master lease is for five, five year periods, or a 25-year total. If it decides to cancel, AT&T sells the tower to the City for $1. If AT&T decides to walk away from its lease, the City won’t stand to lose. In addition to that, Mr. Jesse had a call from a locator from Columbus who presently represents Cingular, who wants to represent Cingular in putting a tower in North Olmsted Park. The City is willing to take another look at this after putting it to bed a few years ago. The Safety Director is also interested in putting up a tower at the new fire station and see if there is enough proximity where this plan could work and help the City with the location of the fire and police channels. Also subsequent to this, Mr. Jesse received a call from T-Mobile, which recently secured a lease with ODOT at Clague Tower, so the Safety Director is open to discussions with them as well. The above was the basic idea of the lease from the beginning: to get these companies on the tower and generate income to the Rec Department. The dream of the Safety Director for North Olmsted Park is to get the companies to build on the park and get residents to understand it. It would be nice to get a similar front payment for North Olmsted Park and build new restrooms with it. The initial money at Clague Road Park paid for the playground equipment, and part of the renovation costs there, so it was a major benefit to the City. Page 7
