location would be cost prohibitive and suspect as to the integrity of the metal after being subjected to substantial stress through windloading over a long period of time. The value of the tower sections to the tower company would be resale of sections of the structures to other customers for very low level antenna structures (40-50 feet) where stress would be minimum to the used equipment. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Board of County Commissioners approve the verbal offer from Universal -Tower Company to remove the two exist- ing tower structures the City of Vero Beach wants removed at no cost to the County with the understanding the Company receives the old used tower structures and removes them from the site. Insurance coverage for the Company will be verified if approval is granted. Doug Wright, Director of Emergency Management Services, explained that he requested this matter to be added to the Agenda today because the City of Vero Beach is becoming rather impatient with us about getting the towers removed at the old jail site. There is a tower company in town that we have done business with before, and in fact, has the maintenance contract for the Kiwanis-Hobart tower. He didn't think we could beat the price since the firm wants the old tower structures in Lieu of funds. If the Board approves, the job can be done within the next two days. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously approved the removal of the two existing tower structures from the old jail site by Universal Tower Company at no cost, in lieu of their receiving the old tower structures, as recommended by staff.
