Can a City Make Money from a Wireless Master Plan
Can a City
Make Money from a Wireless Master Plan?
Kreines & Kreines, Inc. has just completed a contract with a city in Southern
California. The city wants a Wireless Master Plan to guide its approval process
for personal wireless service facilities but, more important, the city wants to
generate revenue.
As part of this Wireless Master Plan, Kreines & Kreines, Inc. will prepare a
Cost Recovery and Revenue Generation Manual. Not only will there be a plan,
there will be fees, rents and property taxes generated from the plan.
Is It Time to Review a Wireless Lease?
A county in Georgia called Kreines & Kreines, Inc. for help in increasing lease
rates from a wireless site on their civic center property. Not only was the
existing lease rate very low, the county suspected that the carrier had brought
in another carrier to the site without sharing the rent the other carrier was
paying.
Not only did Kreines & Kreines, Inc. find more than one carrier, there was an
entirely new tower built, on the same County property, next to the tower in
question. Turns out the bootlegged tower was paying rent … not to the County,
but to the other tower owner operating on the soon-to-be renegotiated lease.
Needless to say, these were mighty fine facts to have in the renegotiation
process. Can Kreines & Kreines, Inc. help your city or county get your full
value from wireless site rents?
Here’s a City with 37 Wireless Leases, and it Looks Like Everyone of Them Has
Been Breached
A city management person called Kreines & Kreines, Inc. to say “I’m sick of
being hoodwinked.” The city has now retained Kreines & Kreines, Inc. to examine
the City’s leases with wireless companies to determine how many of the sites
have been modified without consulting the city. Since the leases date back to
the last century, it’s probable all of them have been breached.
Every lease is somewhat different. They all look the same but, over time,
language has changed. Of course, every carrier provides a standard form that
allows the tenant to make as many changes as desired to meet the carrier’s
needs. But Kreines & Kreines, Inc. looks for other language in the lease that
requires compliance with modifications and, when it’s time to renew, it ‘s time
to face the facts.
Can Kreines & Kreines, Inc. help your local government determine those facts?
