Bill Summary TEU: Approve Council Member Schellenberg stated that the City’s minimum
tower site lease fee is too high given current market circumstances and is
discouraging potential lessors from utilizing City sites. Dylan Reingold said that the Ordinance Code
needs to be amended to clarify that council members are appropriately
involved in determining tower site, design and impact on neighborhoods, but
would not be involved in negotiating lease rates. That is more appropriately an
administrative function. Mr. Reingold
and John Jones of the Real Estate Division answered questions about the
current process, the determination of fair market value, and the potential
market for such towers. Council Member
Crescimbeni felt that cell phone towers are a very lucrative business and the
City should think very hard before lowering its fees. DEFER |
