REGULAR AGENDA
1. Report llIId Recommendation from MERA Sub-Committee - Anthorize Continued
Negotiation and Terms of Proposed Agreement fur Substitute Site fur Mt. Tiburon
The Couix:il reached an infurmal majority consensus to proportion the cost between and the
Town and Mt. Tiburon neighbors (213) and MERA (1/3), but feh that a flat offer amount was too
generous and did not encourage MERA to engage in value engineering.
The infurmal majority concluded that a reasonable estimate of costs pertaining to relocation of the
antenna (total capital as well as permitting costs) would be close to $600,000.
Council gave direction to the Town Manager fur the MERA Board meeting on September 30:
· Indicate the Council's interest in making a reasonable contribution toward relocating the
antenna;
. Request a firmer, credible cost estimate for planning, building, operation and maintenance
in order to give the Council better infurmation on which to base a decision regarding a
contribution amount.
Council also gave direction on other conditions of the continuing negotiations:
· Indemnification ofMERA by the Town was not an option for either permitting issues,
contract issues, tort liability or construction;
· The Town's flat contribution is a ceiling and Town would not pay for cost overruns;
· Limit on Town's responsibility for [new] lease in terms of both the percentage paid (if
any), and duration of Town's responsibility for the lease;
