Balczun <br />County Administrator _K91' <br />Sharon Brennan Phillips SUBJECT: Agenda Item <br />Assistant County Attorney Hobart Tower Space Lease <br />Graves Brothers Company <br />FROM: Doug Wright, Director REFERENCES: <br />Emergency Management <br />BACKGROUND <br />Indian River County owns and operates a four hundred (400) foot <br />tower at. Hobart Park which currently generates revenue of approx- <br />imately $14,000 per year thru the leasing of antenna space on the <br />tower. _ - . <br />Graves Brothers Company of 8465 Old Dixie Highway, Wabasso, Fl. <br />32970, has formally requested the Board of County Commissioners <br />approve the attached -lease for one antenna to be .installed at <br />340 feet above ground level for which Graves Brothers Company will <br />pay $170 per month or $2,040.00 per year.. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends approval of the tower space lease which is attached <br />for review. An insurance certificate will be obtained from the <br />lessee prior to the installation of the antenna. <br />Commissioner Bird commented that since this tower is <br />located in Hobart Park, and we are always looking for revenue for <br />our parks, he wondered if there is any thought the rental from <br />the tower should go to the Parks budget. <br />OMB Director Baird advised that we use the revenue from the <br />tower to offset the cost of the tower itself. It costs about <br />$6,000 annually just for electricity and maintenance costs. <br />Chairman Scurlock inquired if we have an R&R (repair & <br />replacement) fund set up on the tower, and Director Baird noted <br />that we do not as yet; they are working on that now. Last year <br />was really the first year it was in service. <br />Commissioner Eggert inquired how much rental space is <br />left, and the Chairman believed there is additional space, but <br />the question is at what height. <br />12 <br />
