Board authorizes negotiation of lease with Peninsula Fiber Network for Donegal Bay telecom hut

Peninsula Fiber Network presented a conceptual proposal to lease one-half of the township-owned telecommunication hut at the Donegal Bay Road Tower. The minutes describe PFN’s planned upgrades including installation of HVAC units “to keep the building cool” and increased security measures to improve equipment safety and operational efficiency.

Peirano moved and Cole seconded a motion to accept PFN’s proposal and authorize the supervisor to negotiate a lease agreement. The board approved the motion by roll-call vote: Peirano Y, McDonough Y, Cole Y, Welke Y. The minutes emphasize that the proposal is conceptual and that a formal lease agreement will be required, subject to board approval.

The motion authorizes negotiation rather than final lease execution; further board review and a finalized lease document will be required before PFN may occupy or make substantial upgrades to the hut.
