JUN 171981 <br />THE BOARD NEXT CONSIDERED THE FOLLOWING REQUEST: <br />TO: The Honorable Members of DATE: May 20, 1981 FILE: <br />the Board of County Commissioners <br />FROM: Neil A. Nelson <br />County Administrator <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />693 <br />SUBJECT: Treasure Coasters Repeater <br />Radio Station <br />REFERENCES: <br />The Treasure Coasters -Repeater Association, an amateur radio operator group, <br />are requesting permission to install a repeater radio station on the County <br />tower located at Kiwanis Hobart Park. This installation will involave the <br />placing of a small cabinet 4' X 2' X 11, antenna wire, and antenna. There <br />would be no adverse impact on our system once it is installed. The installation <br />would also mean that the association would require access to the tower site. I <br />would not have any problems granting this access. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />Grant permission to the association to install their repeater station. Adoption <br />of this alternative would support the public service minded group and increase <br />communication source in the case of emergency or a disaster. <br />Since the group is a non-profit organization and public service oriented, adverse <br />criticism should be limited. <br />The installation would be at no expense to the County. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners approve the installation <br />of a repeater radio station on the County tower located at Kiwanis Hobart Park. <br />That the County not provide for funds for the installation. That the system be <br />capable of being removed upon request of the Board of County Commissioners within <br />30 days. <br />ISAAC ROACH, ACTING AS TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN OF THE TREASURE <br />COASTERS REPEATER ASSOCIATION, CAME BEFORE THE BOARD AND EXPLAINED <br />THAT THEY HAVE NOT YET INCORPORATED AND WOULD BE OPERATING UNDER HIS <br />AMATEUR RADIO LICENSE. HE ADDED THAT THEY WOULD BE REPORTING FIRES <br />AND ACCIDENTS THAT OCCUR ON THE HIGHWAY: THEY WOULD NOT BE DOING <br />
