Approval of Settlement with Eastern Shore Communications  30,000.00 30,000.00  In2 2017, the County signed a lease with Eastern Shore Communications of North Carolina, LLC (ESC) which allowed ESC to install equipment on the County's water tower in Commerce Park. ESC was attempting to provide broadband to clients in Commerce Park. The initial term was for five (5) years ending November 2022. The project has not worked out for ESC, and as of March 2023, they did not have any clients in Commerce Park. The lease provided an automatic renewal of four (4) five (5) year extensions, unless cancellation was provided by a certain date. ESC missed the deadline to cancel the lease, sO the lease renewed for an additional five (5) year period. ESC suggested it pay the County through the end of 2023, and be allowed to "walk away" from the lease. The lease amount is approximately $302 per month. Per Board direction, the five (5) year renewal term which began on November 5, 2022 shall end on April 30, 2025, rather than November 4, 2027.  2    8. 9. 10. 11. 12.
