The agreement allowed the Licensee to install and <br />operate a communications facility at the Indian River County Department of Utility Services' (IRCDUS) elevated <br />tank located at 4690 28h Court (Gifford Tank). In November 2013, the agreement was amended to allow for <br />additional equipment on the elevated tank. Presently, the license fee is $37,230.92 per year, and the fee <br />increases four percent each year. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />Recently, representatives for T -Mobile contacted staff with a request to add antennas and affiliated mounting <br />equipment to the elevated tank. Staff agreed to allow the additional equipment provided that it was mounted <br />in a manner that was conducive to IRCDUS' maintenance of the elevated tank. This requirement meant that T - <br />Mobile had to modify their construction plans to include certain specific mounting criteria. Given this <br />requirement, staff agreed to forego additional rent at this time. However, it was clarified with representatives <br />of T- Mobile that any future equipment modifications may require an increase to rental fees. <br />FUNDING: <br />There is no cost to the department as a result. of this lease. However, the department will continue to receive <br />revenues as a result of this lease agreement. The revenues will be recorded in the operating fund under the <br />Radio Tower Rents account. The operating fund is used to cover daily expenses encountered to provide <br />services to existing customers. <br />Description <br />Account Number <br />Amount <br />Radio Tower Rents <br />471038-362011 <br />$37,230.92 <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends the approval of the Second Amendment to the Elevated Water Tank Space Agreement with <br />T -Mobile South LLC and requests that the Board of County Commissioners authorize the Chairman to execute <br />the lease on their behalf. <br />ATTACHMENT: <br />Second Amendment to the Elevated Water Tank Space License Agreement <br />P17 7 <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />C:\Users\legistar\AppData\Local\Temp\BCL Technologies\easyPDF 8\@BCL@900D8FD1\@BCL9900D8FD1.doc <br />
