Council approved a seven‑year extension of NextLINK's lease for equipment on the Johnson Drive water tower; the company pays $300 per month and will add improved fiber access, city staff said.
The MacGregor City Council on Oct. 13 approved a seven‑year extension of a lease with NextLINK for communications equipment mounted on the Johnson Drive water tower, city staff said.
Staff said NextLINK currently pays $300 per month under the agreement and will work with the city to install an improved fiber line to the tower to boost service. Charlie Olsen led the work on the license agreement, the presenter said.
A resident, identified as Mrs. Sturner, raised concerns about another provider, RISE Fiber, and said local contact numbers had gone unanswered during recent construction. City staff said the NextLINK extension should improve service and that they would follow up on residents' concerns about other providers.
A council member moved to approve the NextLINK agreement and the motion passed by voice vote.
