The <br />original agreement will expire in 2018, with a provision to extend the lease for a <br />total of twenty years. She reported that GTP Towers I, LLC, the successor to <br />Global Assets, has requested an amendment to the original license agreement, <br />which would extend the lease for an additional fifteen (15) years beyond the twenty <br />(20) years stated in the original agreement. She reviewed the terms of GTP Towers <br />I, LLC's proposed amendment, and clarified that the revision to "The First <br />Amendment to License Agreement" removes the clause giving GTP Towers 1, LLC <br />a limited right of first refusal if a third -party competitor of GTP Towers wants to <br />purchase the property. <br />A motion was made by Vice Chairman Solari, seconded by Commissioner Flescher, <br />to authorize County Administrator Jason Brown to execute a number of documents, <br />including: (1) the revised amendment to the Original Agreement with GTP Towers I, <br />LLC; (2) the corresponding W-9 form; (3) the Memorandum of License; and (4) the <br />Resolution and Consent Affidavit prepared by American Tower.
