Increase Telecom Law Firm contract by $600,000 to $1.2 million total
In Plain English
The city hired this law firm in 2019 to help review cell tower applications and negotiate deals when wireless companies want to lease city property. Major carriers like AT&T and Verizon are rolling out new wireless projects that require legal expertise. If approved, wireless application fees and lease revenue pay for the legal services rather than city funds.
