City $12,000 in revenue. He added terms would increase over the years, stating over 25 years the <br />City would collect $660,000. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove shared her thoughts of starting as close to the current amount as <br />possible, even if that means doing another negotiation in another year. With the cost of everything <br />going up a lease should not go down. <br /> <br />City Administrator Hagen said Verizon is telling him they do not have as big of a need for this <br />tower as many other tower locations, so Verizon is having to drop some. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove stated she is leaning towards not reducing the lease amount. <br /> <br />Councilmember Howell appreciated Finance Director Lund’s point of why Verizon will need a 25 <br />year lease if they will not need the tower. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht stated he does not want to see decreased coverage for the residents but the <br />City is in no rush to move forward with this. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove wanted to clarify the increase in the ice rink attendant wage was also <br />for the increase in snow plow driver wages. <br /> <br />Administrative Services Director Lasher said yes. She added she will be presenting this in more <br />detail at the Council meeting later that evening. <br /> <br />City Engineer/Interim Public Works Director Westby presented the information discussed at a <br />previous meeting in regard to looking at possibly ordering two snow plows this year with the <br />intention of not replacing the motor grader that is in the budget for 2026 and having these snow <br />plows in service by the winter of 2024. He said there is a motor grader in the CIP for 2026 to <br />replace the 1999 John Deere and the CIP amount is $472,000 in 2022 with equipment and <br />everything needed. He said the intention is to replace this in the CIP with two snow plows, which <br />would cost approximately the same amount. One of the plows will take the route of the motor <br />grader and the other will be used for the new roads and the extension on Riverdale Drive. He <br />mentioned that the City exceeded their eight hour snow clearing timeline that they try to target so <br />more plows are needed. He added that it is approximately an 18 month window from when the <br />plows are ordered until they are delivered. He mentioned the plows do not need to be ordered right <br />away, and if they did it would be a hit on the 2023 budget and it would have to be paid for in 2023. <br />He stated it can wait until early 2023 for them to be ordered and still have time to get them before <br />the snow season in 2024. He asked for feedback from Council on if the plows should be ordered <br />now or would like to revisit this at a later date. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Riley said he loves the idea of getting two snow plows to replace one, but he asked <br />what happened in a few years when the grader needs to be replaced. <br /> <br />City Engineer/Interim Public Works Director Westby said the grader has been looked at and it is <br />deemed in good condition. He said the one item the mechanics are surprised has not needed to be <br />replaced yet is the transmission; however it is running really well and if it is out of rotation for a <br />City Council Work Session / September 13, 2022 <br />Page 11 of 16 <br /> <br />
