Mr. Smith said this variance is from USA Grocers with James Dugger as the representative.

Citgo has a corporate color which is a bright red and our overlay requirements on Concord and South Cobb Drive call for muted colors.

They want to add an attached 2-car garage which will provide better security and improve their property. ... Councilman Cramer said they had secured signatures from even more than the two affected neighbors, stating they have no objections to the addition. Councilwoman Capilouto pointed out an error on the application which stated the 20 x 28.5 concrete slab to be enclosed is living space. Mr. Tyner said that is incorrect, and they are just building a garage. Councilman Cramer said this is an older neighborhood and the structure they are removing is metal, with corrugated fiberglass roof and this addition will enhance property values.

Mr. Smith stated the application of Metromedia Fiber Network Services, Inc., is a revised version of the franchise agreement for telecommunications that the city originally developed December 20, 1999 meeting - continued with the Georgia Municipal Association and stated Mr. Andy Macke, GMA, is present this evening to provide additional information. ... Councilman Lnenicka asked Mr. Macke to provide background information about Metromedia Fiber Network Services, Inc. Mr. Macke responded Metromedia Fiber Network Services is a competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) business and a competitor to BellSouth for providing local telecommunications services. He continued that their primary focus is on business customers and is more of a carrier's carrier in that they put large bundles of fiber in the ground and then sell capacity to internet service providers, long distance carriers or other telecommunications providers that want to provide services in the city. Mr. Macke continued that the Telecommunications Act of 1996 provided for pieces of networks to be sold to various providers thereby opening the doors of competition. Mr. Macke stated he and the city have been working on this particular contract for approximately six months and it is his recommendation that the city approve the contract as written and dated December 22, 1999. Mr. Macke stated under the terms of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 the City of Smyrna is obligated to provide access to the rights-of-way with fair and reasonable compensation under non-discriminatory terms. Mr. Macke stated the negotiated agreement with Metromedia provides a 3 % franchise fee, a minimum quarterly fee based on the amount of rights-of-way that the company is using, notification to the city by the company anytime they are going to do any kind of construction as well as providing as-built maps once they have completed construction consistent with the city's permitting process. Mr. Macke stated there are broad insurance requirements the company is required to carry - $3,000,000 coverage for any personal injury, death or property damage from any single incident and a total of $4,000,000 coverage over a period of any single year. Mr. Macke stated there is also language to protect the city should the company decide in the future that it does not have such a great deal and provides language where the company is not going to challenge the agreement and a most- favored nations clause which if the city does grant a franchise or the company feels like another company has a better deal, it provides for a dialogue process in which both parties will enter into before there is any kind of law suit. - Councilman Lnenicka stated it is the recommendation of the Telecommunications Committee to adopt and approve this application. Councilman Lnenicka made a motion to approve the telecommunications franchise agreement between the City of Smyrna and Metromedia Fiber Network Services, Inc. dated December 22, 1999. Councilman Cramer seconded the motion. Motion was approved 7-0. (C) Approval of Telecommunications Franchise Agreement - City of Smyrna and Nextlink Mr. Smith stated this is the same type contract as described above but with a different company. See narrative above pertaining to background of contract. .... Mr. Macke stated this is very similar to the contract described above with all the terms and conditions being substantially similar between the two documents. Mr. Macke explained Nextlink was founded by Craig McCall whose company - McCall's Cellular - was bought out by AT&T. Mr. Macke stated Nextlink has a similar business plan as Metromedia in that they do compete with local Bell companies in providing local exchange service principally to businesses and also have multiple arrangements with other carriers by which they will use excess capacity and those carriers may be telecommunications companies, internet service providers, long-distance companies, etc. Mr. Macke stated the city currently has two additional pending applications - Teleport Communications and Level III Communications - as well as Media One cable franchise. Mr. Cecil Davis, Vice President of Nextlink, came forward and stated they have built their switch in Smyrna and have less than 100 employees at this time but anticipate hiring probably another 50 over the next year. He stated they have invested over ten million dollars in capital and with the build out of their network plan to invest another eighteen to twenty in the metro region. Councilman Lnenicka stated it is the recommendation of the Telecommunications Committee to adopt and approve this application. Councilman Lnenicka made a motion to approve the telecommunications franchise agreement between the City of Smyrna and Nextlink dated December 22, 1999. Councilman Cramer seconded the motion.
