Board reaffirms final lease offers to AT&T and Verizon for Grindstone site
Summary
The board voted to maintain its previously proposed final lease offers to AT&T and Verizon for Grindstone, instructing staff to communicate the district's final terms and return with any responses; staff noted both carriers are unlikely to abandon the site.
District staff reported carrier negotiations on Grindstone site leases. Kenny told the board that AT&T and Verizon have countered below the district's prior offers; the board voted to treat its earlier proposals as the district’s final offers and directed staff to communicate that to each carrier.
Kenny said both carriers view Grindstone as an important network hub and are unlikely to abandon the site, but the board emphasized contract language changes and price terms remain non‑negotiable from the district’s perspective. The board also asked staff to prepare side‑by‑side comparisons of current and proposed terms for any additional Verizon proposals affecting other sites.
