COUNCIL COMMUNICATION TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: WILLIAM A. SIMMONS CITY MANAGER DATE: May 7, 2004 SUBJECT: Approval of Communication Site Lease Agreement with T- Mobile Corporation ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: Recreation & Senior Services SUMMARY: Over the last several months, T- Mobile Corporation has entered into discussions with the Department of Recreation & Senior Services about the possibility of placing a communication antenna on top of the roof of the recreation/senior center. In addition, discussion has occurred with the Planning Department regarding zoning and other related items the City may require for this type of project. This antenna would be similar to other HVAC units on the roof and be screened according to city requirements. In addition, a small operations fence /shelter would be built, as shown on the attached layout that also meets city requirements. In exchange for this agreement with the City of Louisville, T- Mobile would pay a monthly fee of $1,280.00 for five years with a ten percent (10 %) increase for each subsequent five -year period for a total of thirty years. In addition, a financial gift of $100,000 would be received by the City upon signing this agreement for the direct construction of the skateboard rink. Based on T- Mobil's proposal, the annual financial contribution to the City of Louisville would be $15,300.00 for the first year, plus the $100,000.00 financial contribution of direct costs of invoices for the construction of the skateboard rink. The total payment to the City of Louisville from T- Mobile over the term of the contract will be $692,559. If Council agrees, it is proposed that these funds be used for additional budgeted items such as annual replacement of equipment /furniture /fixtures or building improvement fund at the recreation/senior center and/or any other improvements to the Recreation/Senior Center, as the City deems appropriate. Attached is the proposed agreement with T- Mobile, which has been reviewed with the City Attorney, along with the site layout.
