Summary
The county approved a five-year lease with T-Mobile for wireless equipment at the Shaker Place tower; current rent is $3,322 per month and the new agreement increases rent 3% annually, starting Sept. 1.
Albany County approved a five-year lease with T-Mobile for wireless communication equipment at the Shaker Place tower; the county's revenues from the site are expected to rise by 3% annually under the new agreement.
Staff described the arrangement as a revenue contract and told the board the site has hosted cellular infrastructure for more than 15 years. The presentation stated current rent is about $3,322 per month and that the new five-year agreement includes a 3% annual increase. Staff said the lease term starts Sept. 1.
Board members asked only clerical questions about the start date. A motion to approve the lease was made and seconded; the board voted in favor and the motion passed.
The county framed the agreement as strictly revenue-generating and said it imposes no operational burden on county facilities. The item was presented on the record as an authorization for T-Mobile (the transcript text refers to "T Mobile Mortgage" in the agenda language) to provide wireless communication equipment at 100 Heritage Lane and on the Shaker Place tower.
