Summary
Saratoga County presented a resolution to amend a land-lease agreement with Cellco Partnership (DBA Verizon Wireless) to move the build area and modify easement exhibits for a county-owned parcel in the town of Milton because of wetlands on the originally planned site.
A county official presented an amendment to a land-lease agreement with Cellco Partnership, doing business as Verizon Wireless, asking the committee to authorize the chairman to execute exhibit modifications to the leased premises and associated easement on county-owned property in the town of Milton.
The presenter explained the amendment is needed because Verizon must swap the area where it will build the tower due to wetlands that were identified after the project began; the presenter noted those wetlands had been identified earlier in the project but that the tower’s footprint must now shift to avoid them. The amendment would formalize the exhibit changes to the lease and the related easement for the affected portion of county-owned land adjacent to the public safety building.
Committee members were asked if they had questions; a motion to approve was made and seconded in the excerpted transcript. The transcript records the procedural motion but does not include a roll-call tally. The presenter said the change was limited to swapping the construction area and updating the lease exhibits; no other lease terms were discussed in the excerpt.
