AgendaConsent Item <br /> r� INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br /> DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES <br /> 7 o$ty1` <br /> Date: December 4, 2013 <br /> To: Joseph A. Baird, County Administrator <br /> From: Vincent Burke, P.E., Director of Utility Servicest*.(,�..0(7 <br /> Prepared By: Cindy Corrente, Utilities Finance Manager'` , <br /> Subject: Amendment to Elevated Water Tank Space L"i_cense�Agreement with T- <br /> Mobile <br /> DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITIONS: <br /> In March 2004, The Board of County Commissioners entered into a lease agreement with <br /> Omnipoint Holdings now known as T- Mobile South LLC. The agreement allowed the Licensee <br /> to install and operate a communications facility at the Utility Department's elevated tank <br /> located at 4690 28th Court (Gifford Tank). The license fee was $20,000 per year and included a <br /> clause that required a four percent increase per year. Presently, the annual lease fee is <br /> $28,466.28. <br /> ,N.. <br /> ANALYSIS: <br /> Recently, representatives for T-Mobile South LLC. contacted staff to request an upgrade to <br /> their equipment located on the Gifford Tank. In the past, staff has experienced various issues <br /> with the providers and their use of the tank. One of the issues is that the manner in which <br /> equipment is attached to the tower resulted in increased costs for the utility to have the tanks <br /> properly painted and maintained. In order to offset these costs, we have proposed an increase <br /> in lease fees of $350.00 per month which equates to $4,200.00 per year for a total yearly <br /> license fee of $32,666.28. The four percent increase per year will remain in effect if this <br /> amendment is approved. <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 Account Number Amount <br /> Radio Tower Rents 471038-362011 $32,666.28 <br /> Page 1 of 2 <br /> 44 <br />
