Meeting Date: September 22, 2025
To: City Council
Through: Kat Sorensen, City Manager
From: Jason Bickling, Deputy City Manager
Subject: Resolution 2025-092: Authorizing the City Manager to Accept the
Proposal with Globelink Telecom for Radio Tower Maintenance and
Ladder Installation in the Amount of $34,500 and Appropriating Funds
Background and justification:
The City of Seward's Police Department, Fire Department, and Public Works Department all
require reliable radio communication. The radio transmission equipment at City Hall does not
currently meet those standards.
The City recently had an analysis done to determine the deficiencies and work needed to get the
City Hall radio transmission equipment and infrastructure up to standard. The maintenance
proposal by Globelink Telecom will make repairs so the tower can be climbed safely by crews
for installation and maintenance of vital radio communications equipment.
