Councilman Barker, chairperson of the Recreation, Public Parks & Buildings Committee: 1) The committee met on May 22, 2007 to discuss Ordinance 2007-41. The meeting was held in the Council Chambers to accommodate the number of guests present. Present were committee members Barker, Gareau and Dailey Jones; Council Members Miller and Orlowski; Mayor O'~'rrady, Safety Director Terbrack, Service Director Limpert and John Syndyla representing T-Mobile; many residents from the area of the proposed location of the cell tower at Fire Station No. 2. Ordinance 2007-41 is an ordinance authorizing the Mayor to enter into a ground lease with option agreement with T-Mobile and approving site development to locate a Cellular Monopole Tower and facilities at Fire Station No. 2, and declaring an emergency. This ordinance was discussed previously on April 24, 2007. There were many questions from that meeting for the administration to address. Those questions are as follows: Chestnut School Site: T-Mobile notified the city that they cannot accept this site as a replacement for the proposed Fire Station site because it is a half a mile away from their target area and would not serve the purpose of filling coverage gaps in North Olmsted. It also abuts a greater number of residents than at the Fire Station site. Crocker Stearns Corridor: The western side of the corridor is primarily owned by the Metroparks, and they informed the city that it is not their policy to allow wireless facilities on their properties. Another drawback is the site along Crocker Stearns would also affect a greater number of residents than Fire Station No. 2. Both areas also would not produce any financial benefits to the City of North Olmsted. If installed on city property, the city would receive $1,800 per month from T-Mobile. If other providers decide to locate on this tower, T-Mobile would pay the City '/z of the amount negotiated by T-Mobile. The funds coming from this tower would be split, with 75% going to 7
