Staff met with a representative from BellSouth Mobility on July 31, <br />1990, regarding the proposed lease agreement. While the <br />representative initially opposed an increase in the lease agreement, <br />the meeting ended on a very cooperative basis and the following are <br />the new rates which were negotiated by staff pending formal approval <br />by the Board of County Commissioners. <br />The rates which were negotiated are per year with increases effective <br />at the end of each of the five year increments. Staff would -not <br />deviate 'from the proposed 15% increase in the rate structure at the <br />end of each five year extension and BellSouth finally agreed. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />A review of the new proposed rates for the lease agreement reflect <br />an increase, of 7.4.89% over the term of the lease. The new rate <br />structure appears to be appropriate for use of the property since <br />more than 2,475 feet is actually encumbered to a degree for the guy <br />wires. <br />BellSouth is very interested in the site and.advised that they are <br />incurring additional costs in zoning changes and engineering expenses <br />as well as a survey for the County pursuant to the Lease Agreement. <br />Discussion with BellSouth also revealed that there will be nine (9) <br />guy wires connected to three (3) guy wire supports. The three guy <br />wire supports. will be standing eight feet- tall with the nine guy <br />wires connected to the top *of the supports. This will allow for <br />vehicles to be driven under the wires. Each of the three supports <br />will be protected by small chain link fence enclosures to preclude <br />vehicles from damaging the tower guy wires. <br />BellSouth Mobility has also agreed to cooperate with Solid Waste <br />Disposal District staff in locating the guy wire supports so that <br />minimal interference will be experienced with operations. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />-Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the <br />negotiated lease agreement with BellSouth Mobility and authorize the <br />Chairman to execute the required documents. <br />Director Wright informed the Board that the Risk Manager <br />wants one thing added to the insurance, and BellSouth has agreed <br />to add that. Also SWDD Manager Ron Brooks has indicated his <br />agreement with the proposed 'lease. <br />Commissioner Bird felt what is proposed is enough money <br />unless it makes the site unusable for county purposes. <br />A I I C 141990 60 BOOK Pg F. 4a <br />L_ <br />INITIAL <br />PROPOSAL <br />SECOND PROPOSAL <br />NEW PROPOSAL <br />(January <br />28, 1988) <br />(July 24, 1990) <br />(August 14, 1990) <br />1st <br />Five Years <br />$2,400 <br />$3,600 <br />$4,800 <br />1st <br />Extension <br />$2,760 <br />$4,140 <br />$5,520 - <br />2nd <br />Extension <br />$3,174 <br />$4,761 <br />$6,348 <br />3rd <br />Extension <br />$3,650 <br />$5,475 <br />$7,300 <br />4th <br />Extension <br />$4,198 <br />$6,297 <br />$8,395 <br />The rates which were negotiated are per year with increases effective <br />at the end of each of the five year increments.
