Board tables Johnson Elementary cell
tower decision
The
Cedar Rapids Community School District’s school board has halted plans to place
a cell tower atop Johnson School of the Arts.
During
the board’s Monday regular meeting, members voted to table a motion to
lease part of the building’s roof and an addition to Verizon Wireless for
installation of a cell tower. If approved, the proposed agreement would’ve
provided $25,800 to the district’s general fund with a 3-percent annual
increase for each subsequent year of the five-year contract.
“We can
always come back at a later time and provide the issue with the support of the
Johnson community,” said Steve Graham, executive director of business services
for the Cedar Rapids schools, during the meeting. “We would be well served to
do this for the community and I think they would support it given there’s a
$25,000-plus funding stream we could certainly use as a school district.” Read
