Summary

The Council authorized the City Administrator to sign a second amendment to the American Tower option and lease agreement to expand the tower footprint by 500 square feet, reflecting a prior deal with a $25,000 one-time payment and improved lease rates.

City Administrator Matt Michel asked the Council to formally authorize him to execute the Second Amendment to the Option and Lease Agreement with American Tower for the Bolton Hill cell tower. The amendment implements an option the Council approved previously to expand the tower footprint by 500 square feet—likely to accommodate backup generation and additional carrier equipment—and will result in a recorded document.

Michel noted the original agreement included a five-year extension with improved lease rates and a one-time $25,000 payment. Council authorized execution of the amendment; the motion passed unanimously (4-0). The amendment will be recorded per standard real-estate practice when executed.
