the lease agreement with Omnipoint Communications Inc. (T-Mobile) for the
installation of cellular service at Jerome and Madison Parks, by a
unanimous vote of 7:0:0.
DISCUSSION
Omnipoint Communications Inc (T-Mobile) is proposing the installation of
stealth monopalms at Jerome and Madison Parks to improve the communication
reception in the area. The Board of Recreation and Parks approved a stealth
flagpole antenna and various park improvements on September 28, 2005. On
October 27, 2005, the Development Review Committee reviewed the flagpole
antenna proposal and, due to the height limitations for flagpoles,
recommended the proposed cellular flagpoles be changed to monopalms. The

proposed change from flagpole antennas to monopalms was presented and
approved by the Board of Recreation and Parks on November 16, 2005.
T-Mobile will install one 65-foot high stealth monopalm at each location to
accommodate the new service and a second monopalm along with an equipment
space to accommodate collocation for a future carrier. Improvements to be
provided by T-Mobile include permanent concrete bleachers for one ball
diamond at Jerome Park. At Madison Park, staff has negotiated an additional
storage room for the little league and a concession room for community use.
T-Mobile agreed to pay the City $28,800 per year at each site, with an
annual increase of three percent each year, to be used specifically for
deferred maintenance improvements at Jerome and Madison Parks. The T-Mobile
lease agreements are for a period of 10 years, with three five-year options
for extension.
