Board adopts new customer lease rate schedule, delegates adjustment authority to Ken
Summary
The board approved an updated lease rate schedule that clarifies rack, power and tower rates (full rack $3,600 per year), moves some high‑power clients to negotiated or metered rates and authorizes Ken to make future adjustments to account for cost changes.
Ken presented a rewritten customer lease rate sheet intended to modernize rack, power and tower fees and to clarify categories for government, nonprofit, commercial and cellular tenants. He proposed maintaining existing government and nonprofit rates while establishing clearer commercial and carrier pricing, noting "we're still charging full rack space, which 45 RU is a full 7 foot rack, and that's $3,600." The schedule also includes rules for metered power and negotiated rates for clients using more than 600 watts.
Board members discussed implementation details, metering costs, structural analyses for tower loading and engineering fees. The board moved to approve the rate schedule and granted Ken authority to adjust rates as needed to reflect rising costs and technology changes; the motion carried by voice vote.
