LTD Broadband asks Rose Creek for five-year water-tower lease to serve about 32 customers
Summary
Mitch Grove of LTD Broadband asked the Rose Creek City Council on Jan. 3 for a five-year agreement to keep equipment on the city water tower at $200 per month, saying about 32 local customers currently depend on the tower and the company plans a longer-term transition to aerial/fiber service.
Mitch Grove of LTD Broadband told the Rose Creek City Council on Jan. 3 that the company previously had equipment on the city’s water tower (2017–2020) and that roughly 32 local customers rely on service tied to that tower. He said LTD Broadband plans a 10-year transition to aerial optic/fiber systems and requested a five-year contract to leave equipment on the tower at $200 per month, or $2,400 per year.
Grove said he would provide a proposed agreement for Clerk-Treasurer Kristine Allas to forward to the city attorney for review. The council did not take a formal vote on the request during the Jan. 3 meeting; the transcript records only that Grove would return an agreement for legal review.
Why it matters: a contract would preserve connectivity for a small group of customers while the company transitions its network. The financial offer cited in the meeting would produce $2,400 in annual revenue for the city if accepted, but the council requested attorney review before making a final decision.
Next steps: Grove will deliver a written agreement to the clerk for the city attorney to review; no execution or vote was recorded in the meeting.
