K 51fAuc 7 TO: The Honorable Members of DATE: August 11, 1982 FILE: Agenda the Board of County Commissioners August 18, 1982 THRU: C. B. Hardin, Jr., Ph.D. Acting County Adw_2 SUBJECT: WAXE Radio License Agreement FROM: Lynn Williams/ Acting General W REFERENCES: ervices Director DESCRIPTION AND=NDITION Proper Public Notice was submitted in the Vero Beach Press Journal on February 17, 24, and March 3, 1982, for the sale or lease of a parcel of County owned land located at the stump dump on Old Dixie Highway. Two bids were received, one from WGYL Radio and one from WAXE Radio. A License Agreement with WGYL, as best bidder, was approved by the Board of County Commissioners at the May 5, 1982 meeting. This agreement allows for non-exclusive license to use said property.for the purpose of constructing a radio tower. Mr. Dick Crago WAXE Radio has attempted unsuccessfully to negotiate a common use of the tower to be built by WGYL on the licensed property in May 1982. Mr. Crago has approached the County with a request for a similar -agreement for a parcel of land adjacent to and south of the WGYL property. WAXE has requested a parcel 400 X 400 feet or approximately 3.67 acres to be used for a 200 foot tower with transmitter building. This property was not advertised. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS Attached is a completed license agreement for the use of the property located at the Old Dixie Transfer station. The agreement with WAXE is essentially the same as the WGYL agreement with one exception; the grace period for payment of the annual lease is extented to ten days. WGYL agreement grace period was for three (3) days which Mr. Crago felt was not enough time to correct a deficiency, in case of an oversight whereby he was late with the annual payment. The proposed annual lease rate is $900 for the first ten years with an additional ten year option at a rate of $1200 annually. The previously granted license agreement with WGYL was for the same time frame with annual payments of $1200 for the first ten years graduating to $1500 annually for the option years. WARE has received FCC approval of the adjacent site and Mr. Crago has stated he anticipates no difficulty obtaining the same approval for his new site. This property has been put out for bid two times in the last five (5) years with only two different bidders, WAXE and WGYL. Alternative "A" Authorize the Chairman to sign completed license agreement as attached. Forward signed original agreement to Recording Secretary and copy to Finance. Instruct Finance to make necessary arrangements for dispers- ment of the lease payment.
