(T-Mobile) for the installation of a cellular monopalm and ancillary equipment at Jerome Park. DISCUSSION On December 2005 City Council approved an agreement with Omnipoint Communications Inc. (T-Mobile) to install a stealth cellular monopalm antenna at Jerome Park. This amendment is to correct the address indicated on the lease agreement and to change the permanent concrete bleacher requirement on the east side of the equipment building to six new portable bleachers on two ball fields. After numerous design concepts, the City and the cell company agreed that the concrete bleacher improvement would cause other problems in the Park. Therefore, City staff and T-Mobile agreed the concrete bleacher would be eliminated and the cell company would purchase and install six new portable bleachers for the Jerome Park ball field. The six new bleachers will not reduce the seating capacity at this site. All other requirements in the lease agreement will remain the same. The T- Mobile lease is for a period of 10 years with three (3) three five-year options for extension. T-Mobile will install two (2) 65-foot high stealth monopalms and equipment space adjacent to the ball field to accommodate a future carrier. T-Mobile will install their own electrical service and pay for all electrical use of their operation. 25EE-1
