per year at six. The Council directed Staff to draft language that refers to temporary living <br />situations outside of the elected Ward. <br />2.02: Traprock Park Mono -Pole Cell Tower Lease <br />City Administrator Hagen reviewed the Staff report concerning the request for a mono -pole cell <br />tower lease in Traprock Park. <br />Councilmember Stewart said she is supportive of using this park for a mono -pole cell tower lease; <br />however, she would like to see a better deal negotiated. <br />Councilmember Specht asked if a mono -pole is just a basic cell tower. <br />City Administrator Hagen shared that it is comparable to what is currently at Alpine Park. He noted <br />that they would engineer the design to have a breaking point if the cell tower were to fall. He added <br />that the west side of the Traprock property is farthest from any residential areas and would be the <br />best place for the cell tower. <br />Councilmember Specht stated he is concerned if this would match the rural aesthetics of the area <br />and he is not sure how the residents in this area would feel. <br />City Administrator Hagen explained that when they had a survey done of the property, stakes were <br />put into the ground which generated a few phone calls from residents. He noted that they would <br />look to have community meetings with the residents in the area if this were to move forward to <br />gauge interest. <br />Councilmember Peters asked if they would include in their contract that if Verizon added other <br />carriers to the tower the City would see an increase in the lease. <br />City Administrator Hagen said this had already been discussed and they were willing to add an <br />additional $200 a month per additional carrier. <br />Councilmember Riley shared that they have two studies completed on what the fair market value <br />for this would be and if Verizon does not want to pay fair market value, then he would not support <br />this. <br />Mayor Heineman added that this area is already covered with 5G cell coverage. He noted that he <br />thinks this would be a big eye sore and he thinks people would object to this being so close to <br />residential areas. He said he does not think this would be worth it based on the amount of revenue <br />they would be getting. <br />Councilmember Specht asked what else they would be able to do with this land if they do not <br />pursue a cell tower lease. <br />Parks and Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood noted that they could use this land for any <br />park related use. He shared that some residents were interested in an outdoor archery range in this <br />City Council Work Session / January 28, 2025 <br />Page 4 of 9 <br />
