Tower council authorizes preliminary research on proposed cell tower financing
Summary
Council authorized Mayor David Setterberg and Clerk/Treasurer Michael Schultz to consult area financial experts and report back with recommendations on a proposed cell tower project; the motion directs study rather than committing to a lease or construction agreement.
The City of Tower on Aug. 11 authorized limited preliminary work to explore a proposed cell tower.
Councilor Bob Anderson moved to authorize Mayor David Setterberg and Clerk/Treasurer Michael Schultz to engage area financial experts to research ideas and provide a recommendation to the council; Councilor Kevin Norby seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The motion directs staff to investigate financial options and return a recommendation rather than approving any lease, sale, or construction agreement at this time.
The authorization is an early, informational step that allows the city to obtain expert analysis of potential financing or revenue models tied to a cell tower proposal. The minutes do not record proposed tower location, prospective vendors, or an expected timetable for the expert review; the council will await the staff report and recommendation before taking further action.
