'One of the conditions of the amendment will include that Clearwire move the existing ball field remove the city light pole, and paint the existing tower. Clearwire will be required to pay the City $30,000 in addition to the costs associated with painting the pole, and a $5,000 landscaping allowance. Additionally the City will have the ability to rent space to other carriers on the tower (co -locators), but will pay Clearwire 30% of net rents from the 1st and 2ad tenant, up to $30,000 a piece. This concession will provide a means for Clearwire to be compensated for the up front costs of constructing the co -locatable tower. The City will retain 70% of all rents collected, until Clearwire has recovered $30,000 from each of the first two additional tenants, then 100% of rents from co -locators thereafter.
