Agenda Report #



TO: Mayor and Councilors



SUBJECT: Powertel/Atlanta, Inc. Cellular Lease



INITIATED BY: Department of Engineering





Recommendation: Approve the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager

to execute a lease renewal to the existing lease agreement with

Powertel/Atlanta, Inc. for a cellular facility on the Government Center rooftop.





Background: Powertel/Atlanta, Inc. executed a five (5) year Lease Agreement

for a cellular facility on top of the Government Center building in May 1997

with provisions for renewals with Council approval.



Analysis: The lease agreement provides for a 1st term lease renewal to begin

May 2002 thru May 2007. It also allows for additional antennae at an annual

rent of $250.00 each. Powertel is requesting the addition of three more

antennae. The lease specifies the annual rent for the 1st term to be

$11,500.00 plus the annual rent for three antennae to be $750.00 equating to an

annual rent of $12,250.00 over the next five years. The 2nd renewal term

annual rent is set for $14,087.50.



Alternatives: The existing lease agreement is set up for a total of three each

five year terms requiring each renewal term to be approved by Council.



Financial Considerations: The City will receive an annual rent of $12,250.00

over the next five years.



Legal Considerations: All lease agreements require Council approval.



Recommendations/Actions: Approve a lease renewal for Powertel/Atlanta, Inc.

for the rooftop lease of the Government Center for a cellular facility.
