The committee will discuss Ordinance 2005-39, Resolution 2005-40 and the 2005 capital improvements. Service Director Driscoll, Finance Director Copfer, Law Director Dubelko and City Engineer Durbin are asked to attend. Councilman Nashar inquired of the Law Director whether the collocation of towers had caused some towers to be abandoned and whether the towers could' be taken down. Law Director Dubelko said he did not know if there were towers to which that would be applicable. The city encourages collocating. Our leases require that, if they don't utilize the pole, it is the responsibility of the tenant to take down the pole and bear the cost of the removal. Councilman Miller said Mr. Jesse had indicated at the Recreation Commission meeting that, if the owners of the poles decided they no longer wanted them, the poles would then revert to the city for the cost of $1. Does the city want to beaz the cost of removal? Law Director Dubelko said he would have to look into this issue. There is a lease from 1997 between the city and AT&T and there are various provisions regarding obligations of the tenant with respect to the pole: maintaining the pole, taking the pole down. If that in fact is the city's obligation to give the tenant a choice of taking it down or turning it over to the city, we'll live by the lease just as we expect the tenant to. Mr. Miller asked that the city continue to get permission to put on an audible alarm system for emergency services should we have monies to do that in the future. Councilman Limpert questioned whether the discussion of all capital improvements would be taken up in the Streets & Transportation Committee as there are other items in addition to street repair. After a short discussion, the issue was assigned to the Streets & Transportation Committee. Councilman Nashaz made a motion to excuse the absence of Councilwoman Kasler. The motion was seconded by Councilman Limpert and passed unanimously.
