Board approves amendment to 2005 SCTC wireless-site lease, expanding fenced area for a $6,000 payment
Summary
The Santiam Canyon board approved an amendment to a 2005 wireless-site lease with SCTC to expand the fenced area from roughly 110 sq ft to about 200 sq ft; the company will pay a one-time $6,000 fee and provide four district devices with data credits.
Administration asked the board to approve a 04/03/2026 amendment to the district's 2005 wireless-site lease with SCTC. Staff said SCTC proposes to expand the leased equipment area from about 110 square feet to roughly 200 square feet to accommodate additional infrastructure and to bring Verizon 5G and increased cellular capacity into the area.
Staff said SCTC would pay the district a one-time $6,000 payment for the expansion and would provide four district devices with service credits for the contract duration, which could be used when staff travel. The district's legal counsel reviewed the original agreement and proposed amendment and identified no legal concerns. Board members discussed health-and-safety handouts provided about 5G and asked about visual treatment (painting/camouflage); SCTC representatives indicated they can paint or add slats to vents to reduce visual impact. The motion to approve the amendment passed.
