AGENDA ITEM: IX. B. 2
TO:
FROM:
SUBJECT:
Mayor and Council
Roy Cuaron, Finance Director
Resolution No. 2004-20: Authorizing the Town Manager to executive any
and aH documents necessary to effectuate the purchase of the transmission
tower located at 5100 W. Ina Road for sixty-seven thousand five hundred
dollars.
DISCUSSION:
In June 2001, Mayor and Council authorized the purchase of the current Marana
Operations Center (MOC), formally known as the Trico building. The purchase
of the
MOC facility did not include the ninety foot transmission tower that is situated on
site. Throughout the negotiation process, however, the tower owner, Southwest
Transmission Cooperative, Inc. ("SWTransco"), a subsidiary of Trico, and staff
discussed the possibility of the sale/purchase of the tower.
With the purchase, however, the Town did acquire a leasehold interest in the
revenue stream from the leasing of tower space to cellular phone providers,
specifically Sprint and Cricket. The current annual income to the Town is
approximately $20,000.
Subsequent to the purchase, the Town entered into a contract for the installation
of a wireless wide-area network (WWAN). The initial design of the WWAN did
not anticipate the need for a transmission tower at the MOC. However, as
installation of the WWAN has commenced, staff and their consultants have
determined that a transmission tower at the MOC is critical to the successful
functionality of the system.
To that end, staff and SWTransco have negotiated an agreement that meets the
objectives of both entities. The Town acquires a tower that satisfies the need for
its wireless communications system and S WTransco r ids itself o f an "activity"
that is not central to their core business purpose.
FllqANCEIRC/02/25/2004/12:44 PM
The key "deal" points are as follows:
· Purchase price = $67,500
· Interest rate on the note payable = 6%
· Monthly payment = $1,700 - to be paid from the Town's current pro-rata
share of lease income
· Term = approximately 3 ½ years
· Town and SWTransco to share risks/lease income for 15 years
Staff respectfully requests Mayor and Council approval to execute any and all
documents necessary to effectuate the purchase of the transmission tower at 5100
W. Ina Road.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Council adoption of Resolution No. 2004-20,
authorizing the purchase of the transmission tower located at 5100
W. Ina Road.
SUGGESTED MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. 2004-20.
