Case Report <br /> <br />City Planner Lehnhoff explained the changes to Planning Case 07-024 and Amendment <br />No. I. He explained the proposed changes to the Sprint Lease and indicated the updated <br />information is available. He commented that the City Attorney and the Sprint <br />representative reviewed the documents and have no recommendations or changes. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden questioned whether the existing lease rates would be used. <br />City Planner Lehnhoffreplied that was correct. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant remarked on the memo in the packet referencing frequency <br />interference. City Planner Lehnhoff replied it was done with the original lease in 1999; <br />however, it was not done with this lease as the frequency is the same. He stated the <br />documentation is on file. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant questioned whether the lease rate was the same. City Planner <br />Lehnhoff replied it was because the applicant believed the rates were a wash with the <br />proposed changes. He stated the rate is about $14,000 per year. He stated the lease with <br />Sprint would go for an additional 15 years. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued. <br /> <br />Mayor Harpstead remarked that he pulled this item for discussion because he wanted <br />additional information prior to signing the agreement. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant expressed concern over the dollar amount. He stated it is not <br />wise to continue a 15-year agreement with the same rate with the proposed changes. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung agreed with Councilmember Grant as it is a substantial <br />change to what had been there. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember McClung seconded a <br />motion to table until the next Council meeting. The motion carried <br />unanimously (5-0). <br />
