Rothschild staff to continue negotiations after AT&T proposes $40,000 annual lease for water-tower antenna
Summary
Administrator Ryan VanDeWalle told the board he negotiated a proposed AT&T rent of $40,000 per year with a 3.5% annual growth rate, down from the village's current $42,224.30; the board authorized staff to return a full contract for final approval.
At the Feb. 10 meeting Administrator Ryan VanDeWalle updated the Village of Rothschild Village Board on negotiations with AT&T over an antenna lease on the village water tower.
VanDeWalle said the village's current annual rent is $42,224.30 and that, after discussions with AT&T and a review of neighboring municipal leases, he had negotiated a proposed new rent of $40,000 annually with a 3.5% annual growth rate. He told the board he compared the village's situation to other local arrangements and cited the City of Mosinee, which has two antenna arrangements with AT&T at $28,116 and $28,500 annually.
The board voted to authorize staff to continue negotiating and to return a full contract for final board approval. The motion to negotiate and return the contract was made by Committee member Bill Schremp and seconded by Committee member Sam Stroik; the motion carried 7:0.
The minutes record the negotiated figure and the board's authorization to proceed; the full contract was not on the agenda and was not provided in the minutes.
