Board approves cell tower agreement; administration says legal review complete
Summary
Board approved an agreement to allow placement of a cell phone tower on district property after administration told members the attorney had approved the contract and that the siting would not infringe on school space; the tower is described in packet materials as a 5G tower sited near a pond.
The Columbus Public Schools board approved an agreement with Buell Consulting, Inc., to allow placement of a cell-phone tower on district property. The motion passed unanimously on the consent agenda.
Superintendent Chip Kay told the board the cell phone tower contract has been reviewed by district counsel and "it will not infringe on any space," and packet materials described the site as a 5G tower located about 100 feet from the district pond on a 60x60-foot footprint. The motion to approve the agreement appeared on the consent agenda (XII.E) and was recorded with a unanimous vote. The district indicated the approved agreement and attorney review are on file and the administration will coordinate execution and site details with the consultant and provider.
Provenance: meeting minutes and consent agenda (contract item and administration comments).
