Baird, County Administrator <br />From: Vincent Burke, P.E., Director of Utility Services 61.0 <br />Prepared By: Cindy Corrente, Utilities Finance M nag <br />Subject: Second Amendment to Elevated IA/la/Tan Space License Agreement with <br />P <br />New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC <br />DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITIONS: <br />In March 2004, The Board of County Commissioners entered into a lease agreement with <br />Bellsouth Mobility, DBA Cingular Wireless (now known as New Cingular Wireless). The <br />agreement allowed the Licensee to install and operate a communications facility at the Utility <br />Department's elevated tank located at 1805 58th Avenue (Kings Highway Tank). The license fee <br />was $20,000 per year and included a clause that required a four percent increase per year. On <br />September 10, 2013, the lease was amended to allow for installation of additional equipment <br />on the tank. Presently, the annual lease fee is $48,466.32. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />Recently, a representative for New Cingular Wireless contacted staff to request permission to <br />install a Propane Generator at the site. Since additional ground space is required for the <br />generator and propane tank, a new license fee of $53,393.16 per year was agreed upon. The <br />four percent increase per year remains in effect as well. <br />FUNDING: <br />There is no cost to the department as a result of this lease. However, the department will <br />receive revenues as a result of this lease agreement. The revenues will be recorded in the <br />operating fund under the Radio Tower Rents account. The operating fund is used to cover <br />daily expenses encountered to provide services to existing customers. <br />ACCOUNT NO.: <br />Description <br />Account Number <br />Amount <br />Radio Tower Rents <br />471038-362011 <br />$53,393.16 <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />157 <br />
