   3:22:58And uh let me bring you up to speed on where we are. So this is related to the P4 agreement on uh that we brought earlier this year that the school district has already approved. Uh what was going to be a agreement With a different carrier or a different provider. We went through several steps to get to that. Everything that's highlighted in green were the steps that were completed previously. We are now at this yellow step for make a decision on

   3:23:28this new solicitation based on this alternative site to relocate it at the park.

   Kathryn Starkey

   3:23:34Oh, this isn't the hearing?

   Andrew Baxter

   3:23:37The previous location would have uh allowed the the sighting to be at approximately six hundred and twenty-five feet um from the school.

   3:23:48And the previous lease would have been with Vertex.

   3:23:57With the 2% increase or $600 a month per sublease. by going out and relocating this. We are now two thousand three hundred and forty eight feet from the nearest school building. and one thousand and four hundred feet from the nearest housing location. So we're much further away from the school. We're 3.75 times further away than previous. Okay. Uh this is we will be locating it basically

   3:24:27in the maintenance yard of the uh of the uh Starkey um park there and uh and uh This is where it's gonna be located. We have uh just kind of it's basically a twenty-foot sliver that we're able to utilize within the maintenance yard there. And by going out this uh with wireless edge Uh they were able to provide uh better rates. Same term, twenty seven year lease for

   3:24:58additional five op five year options. Um but the rent now is uh $2,251 per month with a 2.5% annual increase and $1,000 per month for per sublease plus a bonus of $35,000 for each sublease after the first sublease. So is that to the county? That's two that that will be to the P4 shared use.

   3:25:27Yep. Okay. So with that, that's uh where we are with the new lease and we recommend approval.
