Bradford board to negotiate revenue terms for proposed cell tower; Town Manager authorized to finalize agreement
Summary
Selectboard members told the Town Manager to seek revised revenue terms from a prospective cell-tower company — either 17% every five years or 3% annually — and to sign the Business Terms Agreement once terms are agreed.
At the Jan. 22 meeting the board reviewed a Business Terms Agreement requested by a company proposing a new cell tower on town land. Members did not vote to sign the document immediately; instead they instructed the Town Manager to ask the company to revise the payment terms to one of two options: 17% every five years or 3% annually.
The board agreed that if the company accepted one of those structures the Town Manager would be authorized to sign the agreement to demonstrate the town's commitment to allowing the tower on the property. No formal vote tally was recorded for the instruction to negotiate; the record shows members reached agreement to pursue the two percentage options and have the manager finalize terms.
Town officials did not provide additional financial estimates or specify the parcel for the tower in the meeting minutes. The Town Manager will follow up with the company to resolve the precise percentage structure and return to the board if further action is required.
