One tower struc- <br />ture located adjacent to the old work release facility was damaged <br />by Hurricane David and is virtually worthless. The tower height <br />is 40 feet, which has not been maintained due to storm damage. <br />The second tower the City of Vero Beach is requesting to be removed <br />is located adjacent to the old jail facility. The antenna devices <br />in use on this tower have been removed and placed on a third tower <br />which will be left erected on the recently conveyed property. <br />The second tower to be removed is standing at a height of 155 <br />feet and has little, if any value to the County. *Bob Sweat of <br />Universal Tower Company of Oveido, Florida, has agreed to remove <br />the two tower structures free of charge if the County will agree <br />to give him the old tower structures being removed. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />The two tower structures are badly corroded and rusted. Painting <br />and preventive maintenance on the 155 foot tower has not been <br />routinely accomplished. The 40 foot tower has been damaged and <br />some sections were twisted and bent in the fury of Hurricane David. <br />The fee for removing the towers is estimated to be in the range <br />of $750 according to the tower company. <br />It does not appear feasible to pay to have the towers removed with <br />the expectation of erecting the structures elsewhere. Due to cor- <br />rosion and rust, preparing the structures to be erected at another <br />.AUG 16 1988 35 noK 73 465 <br />
