BACKGROUND: On October 10, 2006, Council approved Contract No. K-0607-58 with T-Mobile Central L.L.C. to lease space on the City’s water tower (known as the Lindsey Water Tower) located at 600 East Lindsey Street.
Contract No. K-0607-58 was for a five-year lease commencing on January 1, 2007 and extending through December 31, 2011 with a provision for four additional automatic five-year lease renewals.

In addition to paying rent, T-Mobile Central L.L.C. was required to maintain a Commercial General Liability Insurance in the amount of $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 for bodily injury, $3,000,000 for property damage) that named the City of Norman as an additional insured party.
In 2009 Council approved Contract No. K-0809-46 with Alltel Communications to build a monopole tower at the City’s Street Maintenance facility at 600 East Lindsey Street on behalf of the City of Norman.
