District to host Inland Cellular antenna on bus barn in exchange for phones and waived costs
Summary
Board discussed a proposed arrangement with Inland Cellular to place antenna equipment on the district bus barn to improve local cell service; Inland Cellular would waive costs on several district phones in exchange.
Board member (S5) told the board that Inland Cellular is proposing to place an antenna-like device on the district bus barn to improve cell coverage in the community. In exchange, the district would receive waived costs on several district cell phones; the board member estimated the arrangement would save the district roughly $186 per month for the phones currently in service.
The board member said she had hoped to provide written terms at the meeting but did not have them yet. She described the plan as a barter arrangement: improved community service in exchange for phone-cost waivers for district staff. "It's gonna be more of an antenna onto our bus barn, and that will give the community of Huashtucna better cell service," the board member said (transcript spelling). The board requested written agreement language and a final cost/benefit analysis before formalizing the arrangement.
