Title
Sheriff’s Office recommending the Board approve and authorize the Chair to sign retroactive Lease Agreement 7363 with Pinnacle Towers LLC, in the amount of $2,050 per month commencing January 1, 2020, and increasing by 3% each anniversary date thereafter for five years for space in the company’s communications vault on Bald Mountain in Georgetown for radio communication equipment.
FUNDING: General Fund.
Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The Sheriff’s Office has historically leased space in the communications vault on Bald Mountain for radio communication equipment. In 2004, the County attempted unsuccessfully to purchase the Bald Mountain site to protect itself from significant rate increases in future years, but Pinnacle Towers was unwilling to sell that particular site. Therefore, the County signed Lease Agreement 520-0311 (FENIX # 957) and Amendment I for four (4) additional there-year terms which ended 12/31/2019.
This Lease is retroactive to January 1, 2020, due to factors such as staff turnover at Crown Castle which prevented us from reaching the appropriate contacts, and the requirement for engineering analyses that needed to be performed before we could get a drafted lease agreement, as outlined in the attached memo.
This lease agreement is for an initial five-year period that ends 12/31/2025, and 2 successive five-year terms after the initial term. The monthly rent for the first year is $2,050.00 per month, with a 3% increase each anniversary date thereafter.
ALTERNATIVES
There are no alternatives since the radio equipment is already located on the Bald Mountain tower.
