' EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ACTION
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: September 3, 1996
AGENDA ITEM: Antenna Site Application Policy
AGENDA SECTION:
Old Business
PREPARED BY: Bud Osmundson
AGENDA
ITEM EM
City Engineer/Public Works Director
ATTACHMENTS: Policy & Application Form
APPROVED BY:
The attached Policy is being brought back to the City Council for your consideration. It
was on the agenda on August 20th and since that time it has been modified so that it
can be used for other properties other than specifically water tower sites. Also
additional language was added to clarify and improve the Policy.
As stated previously, the Policy will ensure that each company is treated fairly and that
the City does not take on additional expenses without entering into a lease. The $2,500
application fee is non-refundable and will be paid with the application prior to negotiating
a lease. In the future this fee would be set annually in the fee resolution.
Staff recommends adoption of the Policy.

ANTENNA POLICY ADOPTED BY COUNCIL
FOR ON:
INSTALLATION ON CITY -OWNED PROPERTIES
PURPOSE:
The City -owned elevated water tanks are ideal sites for the installation of antennas
for private company communication systems. Other City -owned properties may also
be considered for communication facilities. The City may be required to contract with
a professional consultant to review technical specifications of the communication
equipment. The City also requires the City Attorney to review and/or negotiate
antenna lease agreements. In each such instance, these expenses should be borne
by the party that has expressed a desire to place an antenna on a City -owned
property, even if a lease agreement is not ultimately achieved.
II. STATEMENT OF POLICY
The City shall charge potential users a fee to offset the cost of retaining professional
engineers and attorneys to review the technical data associated with each potential
user and to review lease agreements. The fee amount should be reviewed from time
t0 time and stated in the yearly fee resolution. This fee shall offset City costs prior
to an applicant entering into a lease agreement with the City. In some cases, these
costs may be more than the initial fee amount, in which case the applicant would be
required to pay the additional costs.
III. PROCEDURE
1. The application form fees and all pertinent information shall be submitted to the
City Administrator (or his/her designee), who will review the information,
discuss it with the City Attorney, determine if a consulting engineer is required,
and hire a consultant if necessary.
2. After the application information has been reviewed and approved, the lease
agreement shall be negotiated by the City Administrator (or Designee), the City
Attorney, and the applicant.
3. Upon agreement on the lease details, the lease shall be brought to the
appropriate City Commission for its approval.
4. If the Commission so recommends, the lease agreement, signed by the
applicant, shall be brought to the City Council for its approval. (The City
Council meets the first and third Tuesday of each month.)
