Sprint has offered $15,000 to leave the equipment. Sprint would remove the radios and batteries. Discussion focused on the contract and Sprint committed to a 5 year agreement that would expire in 2014. Based on the current agreement, they would be obligated to pay 150% of the annual Rent for the year in which they terminate, for early termination. Engineer Schorzman indicated that leaving the mounts would be acceptable.

There could be a potential cost to the City for removal of equipment and restoration. It was the consensus of the members to not accept the termination agreement.
