POLE USE AGREEMENT:
Superintendent Sweetland reported on both the Telephone Company -Town
of Estes Park agreement and the Telephone Company -Estes Park T.V.
Company -Town of Estes Park agreement.
The above agreements include an annual rental of poles between the Town
and the Telephone Company in the amount of $10.21.This agreement also
includes the rental amount to be charged the Estes Park T.V.Company
by the Telephone Company in the amounts of $3.00 to $400 per year.
The Committee recommends the pole use agreement be amended to reflect
the same rental charges for the Estes Park T.V.Company on Town poles
as are included in the agreement for the use of poles leased by the Tele
phone Company.This change in the agreement would require the T.V.
Company to pay the same to the Town as they pay the Telephone Company.
Superintendent Sweetland will have this change included in the agreement.
The agreement will then be approved by the Town Attorney and submitted
to the Board of Trustees for approval.
