Internet subscribers <br />would be connected to these radios via a modem they purchase from Metricom and <br />connect to their computer. The Metricom internet service is faster than standard <br />telephone modems and would cost about $40 per month. <br /> <br />The permit and agreement will be in effect for nine years beginning on installation date, <br />and includes three/five-year renewal periods for a total of24 years. Metricom will pay the <br />City an annual fee equal to 1 % of adjusted gross revenue from subscriptions, $60/year for <br />each street light or utility pole utilized, up to $1,000 for legal fees associated with the <br />agreement, and ten free Metricom internet subscriptions for City business use. Assuming, <br />Metricom is able to get 2,000 subscribers, the annual fee would be $9,600. <br /> <br />City Attorney Charlie LeFevere reviewed the contract and found it suitable, however, <br />Brooklyn Center has a similar contract which contained items not included in the New <br />Brighton contract. Because of this, LeFevere suggested the contract be approved subject <br />to City Manager and City Attorney approval of those inclusions. <br /> <br />Moore.Sykes clarified that the City would receive up to 1 % of the adjusted gross value <br />which would not be dependent upon the $60 per year street pole fee. <br /> <br />Motion by Samuelson, seconded by Hoffman, to APPROVE THE RIGHT -OF - WAY <br />PERMIT AND FACILITY USE AGREEMENT WITH METRIC OM, INC. <br /> <br />4 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. <br /> <br />Counci I Business <br /> <br />Ordinance Amendment <br />Front Yard Structure <br />Setback <br />Report 00-053 <br />Ordinance 667 <br /> <br />ROW Permit and Use <br />Agreement with <br />Metricom <br />Report 00-041 <br /> <br />Announcements and <br />Announcements and Updates Updates <br /> <br />Samuelson said the Ramsey County League of Local Governments will meet February 24.
