Commissioners <br />THROUGH: Doug Wright, Director <br />Department of Emergenjy Services <br />FROM: John King, Emergency Management Coordinator-1111- <br />Division <br />oordinator-11Division of Emergency Management. <br />DATE: June 12, 1996 <br />SUBJECT: Renewal of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Tower <br />Space Lease Agreement at Hobart Tower <br />It is respectfully requested that the information contained herein <br />be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners <br />at the next scheduled meeting. <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: <br />In 1985, the County approved a request by the FAA to lease tower <br />space at Hobart Tower. A provision within that agreement provided <br />an expiration date of September 30, 1996. Staff has worked closely <br />with the County Attorney's office and legal counsel for _the FAA to <br />modify the standard county tower space lease to meet conformance <br />with the federal agency since the FAA took exception to our <br />indemnification clause and our requirement for public insurance. <br />The attached standard county tower space lease remains more <br />restrictive than the 1985 agreement, but recognizes the FAA as a <br />self-insured entity with any and all claims being handled under the <br />guidelines of the Federal Tort Act. <br />This agreement provides the FAA with floor space adequate for a <br />transmitter, receiver and accessories, as well as tower space at <br />400 feet for their antenna. In accordance with the antenna <br />height/fee schedule utilized for all leases, the FAA agrees to pay <br />a monthly rate of $180, due on the last day of each month during <br />the term of the lease, which totals. $2,160 annually. The funds <br />received from leasing agencies are used to offset recurring and <br />maintenance costs associated with the tower. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: <br />Since the _FAA equipment presently exists at Hobart <br />renewal of the FAA lease has no significant effect on <br />space allocation within the communications building. <br />Board choose not to approve the new lease, the FAA will <br />to remove their equipment from the building resulting <br />loss of $2,160 -a year. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Tower., the <br />the tower or <br />Should the <br />be required <br />in a revenue <br />Staff recommends approval/renewal of the Tower Space Lease with the <br />Federal Aviation Administration. <br />26 <br />June 25, 1996 <br />
