Assembly gives staff direction to pursue lease negotiations for replacement communications tower at Diamond Park

The Assembly gave staff direction to continue direct negotiations with the original proposer for a replacement communications tower at Diamond Park. City staff presented the lands-committee briefing and described the proposed 110-foot replacement light pole and associated equipment. The motion directed the city manager/port director to pursue negotiated terms; no lease was executed during the meeting.

The item came from the Lands Committee; staff noted the proposal and associated deadlines are in the committee memo and that no Assembly action beyond direction to negotiate was required that evening.
